Episode 24: Yuki-Onna, Yokai of Death, Snow, and Hugging Babies
As you watch the fat snowflakes fall all around, have you ever wondered what dark spirits lurk beyond the veil of frost? We associate white with purity and snow with beauty, but when we look beyond the surface, there is a cold heaviness that comes with it. And there is a mystery in a world obscured by the brightness of the snow. Death and beauty, love and light-- Winter is many things. See how they all come together in this one enigmatic yokai as we explore the phantom waiting within the storm.
