I'm Morgan Rector, host of the Human Monsters True Crime Podcast.

Do you find life boring within the comfort zone?

This is the right show for you.

It will test your endurance.

The offenders profiled or among the most inhumane.

These people specialize in the unthinkable human monsters, available wherever you get

your podcasts.

Quick disclaimer, the violence is a little strong this week.

There's an instance of torture in the first story and a bloody battle at the end of

the second story.

We go a bit more descriptive than usual for both, because that's necessary for the plot,

so please check out the post on mythpodcast.com, linked in the show notes, if that's of concern

to you.

This week, on myths and legends, there are two stories from Japan where things are

not what they seem.

Or things are exactly how they seem, and people refuse to acknowledge that.

On the first, we'll see that if a person being tortured says they're not a mythological

creature, maybe listen to them before things go too far.

Though one would argue that torture is probably too far already, the second story today is

about a girl in her pet cat, and the dad, who has a massive problem with that.

The creature this week is all ears.

That's it.
