Tell Me What You Heard

Welcome to season 2 of Tell Me What You Heard! This episode, we dip our toes into the sprawling and rich world of Japanese yokai, and focus in one of Japan's most famous ghosts, the Yuki Onna, or “Snow Woman.” CORRECTION: I mispronounced the word seiki (精気), ‘meaning essential life force,' in this episode. Major oops.

Halloween is the 7th most popular American holiday, but unlike Christmas or Father's Day, no one seems to know what the origins of the holiday are. This episode investigates roots of this spooky holiday, from Celtic festival of Samhain, to European traditions of guising, to Halloween divination party games and into the origin of trick-or-treating.
