Autumn: a thing that happens, as far as we know, every single year. North of the Equator, it’s happening RIGHT NOW. This episode is about that!After a classic and arguably needless SDS PSA, Wyatt explains the German tradition of Feldgeister (“field spirits”), also known as Korndämonen. These corn demons are believed to be responsible for the wellbeing of each field’s crops, so you’d best respect them or you might get beaten with some boobs.Next, Jake rattles off a series of ghostly encounters from followers of the blog GaijinPot. Which of these readers can prove themselves to be THE MOST INTO JAPAN? And how relevant to the week’s theme even is this entire segment?Embrace the fall spirit, make it into a doll, and summon forth this episode from the thickest air available (the internet) to join in for another week of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSSupport Mi'kmaq fishing communities: https://bit.ly/3kRM7SlMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFour Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms website: https://www.fourphantoms.net/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerWyatt’s storyThe Feldgeister: http://www.heathenhof.com/feldgeister-harvest-spirit-land/The historical basis of Lycanthropism: https://www.scribd.com/document/192578736/Wettstein-WerewolfJake’s storyGaijinPot stories: https://blog.gaijinpot.com/true-japan-ghost-stories-from-gaijinpot-readers/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
