In Episode 9 Jay and Freya are joined by their long-time friend and number one fan, Kotaro! Kotaro is Japanese-Australian, based in London, and talks about his cultural background and mother’s influence on how he sees spirits and ghosts!
Serendipitously, this week's stories are both related to those lurking the internet - Catfish and Trolls!
Freya and Jay combine forces to share some stories of trolls and dissect why these creatures are so pervasive in stories throughout time.
Kotaro introduces the girls to Namazu - a giant catfish laying deep below Japan; whose flipping and flopping causes earthquakes across the Nation (and also contributes to redistributing wealth).

In Episode 8 of Creature's of Jord, Freya explains the Origins of 'The Boogie Man', and tells us the story of a forlorn spirit, Wewe Gombel, who’s sagging breasts provide sanctuary for neglected kids. Jay covers supernatural Cats from Japan called Bakeneko. These mystical kitties have a plethora of talents, from summoning fire, to speaking human languages, shape shifting or even making the dead dance! Baneko are the spirits of real cats, so watch out how you treat your kitty… it’s spirit might want to come back to haunt you!

This week Jay delves into the depths of the ocean (and our psychees) to explore the great mystery of the Kraken and the giant squid that inspired it’s story. Freya ponders some of the Buddhist hierarchies of reincarnation and decides that she would MUCH prefer to come back as an animal than a tormented hungry ghost.
Trigger warning: in this episode we discuss ghosts and potentially violent or spooky content.
If mukbang makes your skin crawl, you can skip our Spooky Snack Break between 17m 49s and 19m 07s.

This week Jay shares some grim insights into what can happen if you die before getting married in some rural areas of China. Freya tells us about Kuchisake-onna, a ghost of a horrifically mutilated woman who conceals her disfigurement with (in very 2020-style) a mask and who is (in very Millennial-style) easily distracted.

In this episode, Freya tells Jay about her friend who could see shapeshifters at their office in Indonesia. Freya tells us a story about Pocong - a creature from the grave who just needs a little cuddle. Then Jay tells us her story about Poludnica - a witch who operates during the hottest parts of the day. Freya observes that Jay has left herself nowhere to hide from the creepy paranormal creatures of the world - both day and night are now fair game for monsters!

Freya and Jay eat some bat bones and bat pâté to keep with the bat theme. Freya picks a Romanian ghost, called Samca - who’s name means ‘Devil’s wing’. Freya and Jay discuss the wisdom of folklore in modern medicine and consider a trip to Romania where some people still practice superstitious rituals.
