Ep. 39 Noppera-bō: Japan’s Haunting Faceless Ghost

In this chilling episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive deep into the eerie Japanese urban legend of the Faceless Woman, also known as Noppera-bō. From ghostly encounters on quiet roads to spine-tingling stories passed down through generations, we explore the origins, variations, and modern sightings of this unsettling spirit. Is she a warning? A shapeshifter? Or just a creepy folktale that’s taken on a life of its own?

To calm our nerves, we’re cracking open Headhunter IPA from Fat Head’s Brewery—a bold and hoppy companion to this faceless fright fest.

Whether you’re into Japanese folklore, ghost stories, or just love a good beer with your chills, this episode delivers the perfect pour of spooky.
