    Ever wondered what you would do in a zombie apocalypse? We'll kick off our return from hiatus with a light-hearted yet thought-provoking icebreaker, sharing our ideal survival companions. Along the way, we'll dive into some personal anecdotes that highlight our survival skills and family dynamics. Despite recent technical hiccups and a brief illness, we're back and better than ever, ready to bring some spine-tingling stories!

    Brace yourself for a chilling exploration of the Japanese ghost Teke Teke, a vengeful spirit with a heart-wrenching backstory rooted in post-World War II Japan. We'll uncover the tragic tale of a woman who, after suffering a horrific assault, met a gruesome fate on the railroad tracks. This episode delves deep into the cultural stigma surrounding S-A victims in Japanese society, offering a poignant and eerie portrayal of Teke Teke, often depicted as a young woman or schoolgirl missing her lower half.

    Join us as we unravel the haunting details of Teke Teke's encounters with the living, from its terrifying scythe to the chilling questions it poses. We'll share a spine-tingling Reddit encounter from a user named Lilac and compare this legend to America's "click click" story, debating the fear factor of such ghostly encounters. Finally, we dive into the unsettling world of Japanese folklore, discussing the onryo, or vengeful ghosts, and providing practical advice for those brave enough to explore Japan's supernatural side. Don't miss out on this eerie and engaging episode of Macabre at Midnight!
