Stories about vampires, monkey paws, shikigami, mountain mist walkers, killer felines, mermaids, wolves, golems and, most frightening of all, humans, were gathered by so-called “weirdness experts”. The goal of these experts is to combat, regulate, and most importantly, solve the many mysteries behind the circumstances that created these oddities.
