On this episode of the Christian Theological Dark Web podcast, we delve into the enigmatic and dark side of Japan, from its rich cultural history to its supernatural phenomena. With Ricky’s background being in Chinese studies, and Austin’s thorough understanding of Japan and its rich culture, the conversation covers a great many topics.

Austin discusses Japan's fascination with Shintoism, various ghost stories, Yokai (supernatural creatures), and the country's complex relationship with Christianity. He also explores historical moments like the persecution of Christians during the Edo period and modern events such as the 2011 triple disaster.

Additionally, we cover the eerie Aokigahara forest, also known as the Su1c1d3 Forest, and other haunted places in Japan. We even touch upon the cross-cultural and supernatural themes in Japanese folklore and pop culture, highlighting the spiritual battles underlying historical and contemporary issues.

This episode ended up being about a multitude of things, but fear not!— Austin will return to discuss many more paranormal things with us VERY soon!

We hope you enjoy this episode of The Christian Theological Dark Web Podcast!
