    Onryō

    The spooky season is here, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us. Today I bring you a tale based in History but has grown from what is most likely two factual incidents that when spread amongst the people grew in their retelling and blended together to become one tragic story of love, betrayal, murder, supernatural vengeance, and true horror. In fact it released a curse that is felt and dreaded today. It comes to us from Japan, and though ubiquitous, became famous when it was recorded, written and staged for the first time in the 7th lunar month of 1825 in Tokyo called TÔKAIDÔ YOTSUYA KAIDAN. Samurai, the Shogun, Ronin, Merchants, Peasants, and Japanese Culture collide to bring us this tragic tale.  Come dream with me as we go Deep into 19th Century Japan and witness the rise of a spirit of vengeance in a tale, I call, Onryō.

    The Curious Case of Athenodorus

    The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us. Today I bring you the account of an ancient inquiry into the paranormal from the 1st Century CE. It comes to us from a letter written to a dear friend from the lawyer, author, and magistrate of the Roman Empire Pliny the Younger. In it he is desperate to discover if Ghosts are real, fore he fears that they are. He gives us a priceless retelling of three ghost stories. The first two are second hand reports from Carthage in Africa and Athens in Greece. Then one from his household which chilled him to his core and forced him to consult his most learned friend Sura. The most famous of the three by far is the account of the ghost that haunted a beautiful villa in Athens. Once the specter appeared the owners abandoned the property, could not sell it, and tried to rent it out to recover as least some of its value. Instead every one it was rented to was terrorized each night by the ghost. The tale of the evil spirit and the curse it lay on the villa spread across the city and soon no one would dare approach the place at night let alone pay to stay there. That is until the philosopher Athenodorus decided that the stories were superstitious nonsense spread by illiterate peasants and the very low price to live there was a once in a lifetime bargain. Then he encountered the ghost.... So come dream with me as we experience the Ancient Imperial Paranormal Inquiry launched by Pliny the Younger in the First Century in a tale, I call, The Curious Case of Athenodorus.

    Nekrós

    The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us. Today I bring you the true account of an ancient event, a true horror, that shook the people of Macedonia to their core and soon spread across the Mediterranean to every society. What makes this tale so enchanting is that its core it is a love story. A story of a love so deep that it shattered the veil because the gods blessed it and allowed a maiden to return from the underworld to live again so that she could be with her soulmate once again. This horrific incident occurred while Phillip II, the father of Alexander the Great, was preparing for his invasion of the Persian Empire and was well documented. Come dream with me as we go Deep into 4th Century BCE Macedonia and witness the rise of the Vampire in the west in a tale, I call, Nekrós.
