You know what we don't talk about nearly enough on Bob After Dark? We don't talk about the Japanese Yokai! Way back in episode 1, we talked about the Yuki Onna, the snowy ghost who shares similarities to the North American Wendigo.

Yōkai can be translated as monsterdemonspirit, or goblin, but it encompasses all of that and more. The world of yōkai also includes ghosts, gods, transformed humans and animals, spirit possession, urban legends, and other strange phenomena. It is a broad and vague term, and nothing exists in the English language that quite describes it. Yōkai is one of those words–like samurai, geisha, ninja, and sushi–that is best left in its native tongue." It's a broader umbrella term than what we look at here state side.
