Tonight, we welcome JJ from Southern Demonology, joining us from Virginia. His paranormal encounters began in an old Appalachian log cabin, but they did not end there. Tonight, JJ will take us from the shadowed mountains of Virginia to the mist-shrouded landscapes of Japan, sharing unsettling encounters from two very different cultures. Different countries, different beliefs, but perhaps the same unseen world waiting in the darkness.
