In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the chilling legend of the “Extra Dancer” who appears during Bon Odori festivals in rural Tohoku. Rooted in Japan’s Obon traditions—a time when spirits of the dead are believed to return—we uncover ghostly encounters, cultural history, and eerie first-hand accounts of this mysterious figure who joins the dance but vanishes without a trace. Join us as we dive deep into Japanese folklore, regional customs, and the haunted heart of summer in Tohoku. Perfect for fans of Japanese ghost stories, Obon traditions, and the supernatural.
