Walk through a Japanese forest alone and feel that ancient presence watching you. Maybe it's kodama, the protective tree spirits that appear as ghostly lights. Or perhaps it's something more dangerous.
In this episode, Terrie explores Japan's supernatural trees—from the benevolent kodama spirits mentioned in the Kojiki to the bloodthirsty jubokko that feeds on human blood at ancient battlefields.
