In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the eerie world of Onibi (鬼火) — mysterious ghostly flames said to appear in Japan’s forests, mountains, and graveyards. Are they wandering spirits, trickster yokai, or natural phenomena mistaken for the supernatural? Join us as we uncover the folklore, cultural meaning, and chilling legends behind these strange blue fires that continue to spark fear and fascination in Japan.
