This week, we’re going to Hokkaido, Japan to investigate a supernatural story with a very frightening twist, where the question isn’t whether the dead can return, but what might return wearing their face

Obon is the time of year when the dead are welcomed home. But what if something else came back with them?

Takuto has returned to his family home for the festival, still grieving his fiancée who died months earlier. Then, on the first night of Obon, something strange happens. At first, it looks like a miracle. By the third night, it is clear that something is very wrong.

Listen to find out what happens next.
