    Haunting Tales: Japanese Spirits and Yokai with Thersa Matsuura

    Join author and host Thersa Matsuura on a fascinating journey into the world of Japanese spirits, monsters, and yokai. This episode delves into how these supernatural beings are deeply embedded in Japanese culture, art, and storytelling. Discover the eerie yet captivating tales that have inspired countless sculptures, paintings, and modern media. Thersa will also explore intriguing similarities and differences between Japanese and Western supernatural traditions. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that bridges cultural divides and brings ancient myths to life. Perfect for enthusiasts of folklore, art, and the mysterious realms of the supernatural.

    My Special Guest Is Thersa Matsuura

    After a childhood living all over the U.S. — as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska and as far south as Jacksonville, Florida, Thersa Matsuura settled down in the far, far east.

    She’s now an American expat who has lived over half her life in a fishing town in Japan. Her fluency in Japanese allows her to do research into parts of the culture – legends, folktales, and superstitions – that are little known to western audiences. A lot of what she digs up informs her short stories or becomes fodder for her podcast: Uncanny Japan.

    Thersa is a graduate of Clarion West (2015), a recipient of HWA’s Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Scholarship, and the author of two collections, A Robe of Feathers and Other Stories (Counterpoint LLC, 2009) and The Carp-Faced Boy and Other Tales (Independent Regions Publishing, 2017). The latter was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award® (2017). She’s had stories published in various magazines, anthologies and serialised in the Asahi English Newspaper. Her most recent book is The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yokai of Japanese Myth (Spring, 2024; Adams Media).

    In this episode, you will be able to:

    1. Explore concepts of Japanese Spirits, Monsters and Yokai.

    2. Explore how embedded supernatural belief and spirits exist in Japanese culture, art, ritual and life.

    3. Discover examples of Japanese spirits and how these can be similar and different to examples in the West.

    Haunted Britain: Spiritualism, Psychical Research And The Great War With Kyle Falcon

    Haunted Britain: Spiritualism, Psychical Research And The Great War With Kyle Falcon

    The Great War haunted the British Empire. Shell shocked soldiers relived the war’s trauma through waking nightmares consisting of mutilated and grotesque figures. Modernist writers released memoirs condemning the war as a profane and disenchanting experience. Yet British and Dominion soldiers and their families also read prophecies about the coming new millennium, experimented with séances, and claimed to see the ghosts of their loved ones in dreams and in photographs. On the battlefields, they had premonitions and attributed their survival to angelic, psychic, or spiritual forces. For many, the war was an enchanting experience that offered proof of another world and the transcendental properties of the mind. Between 1914 and 1939, an array of ghosts lived in the minds of British subjects as they navigated the shocking toll that death in modern war exerted in their communities.

    My Special Guest Is Kyle Falcon

    Kyle Falcon is a historian specialising in the British Empire during the First World War. He received his MA and PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University. His doctoral research focused on British spiritualism and psychical research in the Great War. He is the author of 'Haunted Britain: Spiritualism, Psychical Research and the Great War.' Kyle is based in Ontario, Canada.

    In this episode, you will be able to:

    1. Explore the experiences and trauma and grief on a collective nation.

    2. Explore the intersection of Spiritualism and Science during the Great War .

    3. Discover some of the psychical experiences reported and explored during this period.
