Description
In Japan when an inanimate object reaches its 100th birthday and perhaps it was mistreated, or lost, or thrown away, it gains a soul and might possibly start playing tricks on people. This is called tsukumogami, or haunted artifacts. In this episode I talk about the tsukumogami and some traditional ones you could run across on a dark spooky night.

That's what I call chutzpah! Credits The... by Uncanny Japan - Japanese Folklore, Folktales, Myths and Language
