In the mist-veiled wilds of ancient Japan, a creature with nine luminous eyes and six spiraling horns stands sentinel between worlds. Meet the Hakutaku—a legendary beast whose very presence blurs the line between animal and oracle. This episode ventures deep into haunted forests and forgotten myths to uncover the story of a spirit guide who once counseled emperors and offered rare wisdom to those bold enough to seek it. What secrets did the Hakutaku reveal about demons, spirits, and the tangled web of the unseen? And why does its knowledge remain just out of reach for mortal hearts? Discover the legend of the Hakutaku, a paradoxical sage who guards the mysteries of the supernatural, and learn why some answers can only be found on the darkest paths.
