  • Noppera-bo: The Faceless Yokai

    Noppera-bo: The Faceless Yokai
    Jun 30 2026
    In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore one of the most unsettling yokai in Japanese folklore—the noppera-bō (のっぺらぼう), the infamous faceless spirit said to appear as an ordinary person before revealing a smooth, featureless void where a human face should be. Delving into Edo-period ghost stories, cultural symbolism, and psychological horror, we uncover how these faceless beings reflect deep fears of identity loss, misrecognition, and the uncanny in everyday life. From the legendary Akasaka “Mujina” encounter to modern interpretations in Japanese urban legend and horror culture, this episode reveals why the noppera-bō continues to haunt imaginations as a symbol of quiet, existential terror that hides in plain sight.

  • The Kofu Incident: Japan’s Roswell?

    The Kofu Incident: Japan’s Roswell?
    Jun 27 2026
    In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we investigate the chilling 1975 Kofu Incident in Yamanashi Prefecture, where two schoolboys reported seeing strange orange lights descend into a quiet vineyard—only to later claim a close encounter with a landed craft and a humanoid figure. Often compared to global “close encounter” cases, the Kofu Incident has become one of Japan’s most debated UFO mysteries, supported by alleged landing-site traces, multiple witness accounts, and decades of ongoing speculation from UFO researchers. We break down what the boys saw, what investigators found in the vineyard, and why skeptics still question every detail of the story. Was it a misidentified aircraft, childhood misperception, or something far stranger breaking through the winter sky over rural Japan?
