In #JapaneseFolklore, there are two #yokai related to sleep. Kanashibari, which manifests as a type of sleep paralysis, and makuragaeshi, a ghostly spirit that throws around your pillow at night. You can read more about them in the thread below.

In #JapaneseFolklore kanashibari is the term used for sleep paralysis, which can feel like the real and dream worlds are mixing. In past times, this phenomenon was attributed to supernatural forces, and in some cases spirit possession by #yokai, particularly kitsune or tanuki.

Police have started bear-culling operations in northern Japan following a surge in attacks. But could authorities be handling the situation better? A trip to Montana offers some answers.

The almost, but not quite abandoned Mount Oiwa Shrine in Kyoto, Japan. I visited this amazing site last summer with @pjacksonmusic.bsky.social He showed me this very off the beaten path place. Many say it's haunted. We hiked around for a few hours and saw no other people! #Kyoto #Japan
