JAPAN

Whispers in the Fog explores Japan’s deep-rooted supernatural beliefs, where vengeful spirits (yurei) and terrifying entities like kuchisake-onna (the slit-mouthed woman) and kappa (water goblins) haunt the land. Shape-shifting fox spirits (kitsune) and tengu (bird-like mountain spirits) also influence people’s fate, sometimes as protectors, other times as tricksters. Modern urban legends add new fears, while ancient spirits, like goryo, still cause havoc. From the countryside to the cities, Japan’s spirits and yokai blend old traditions with modern fears, creating an ever-present mystical world.
