Show Notes

Stevie is dusting off his urban legends book and gathering us round the campfire to read us more spooky tales from Japan! Jaack and Alfie are reacting to a doomed mountain tunnel associated with real life deaths, an attractive spirit that lures in unsuspecting men, and a hungry wife hiding a huge secret from her husband...


Plus Tomino's Hell - a poem said to curse the person reading it aloud (you didn't think that one through did you Stevie...), and a story about a demon who snatches body parts that is so badly translated, it's got us in stitches!


If you enjoyed this, check out ep #346 for more Japanese urban legends, including Shirime who has an eye for a butthole, and the Japanese versions of Bloody Mary and Annabelle!
