 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kowabana (A shortened version of the Japanese phrase kowai hanashi, which means 'scary story') is a podcast dedicated to telling Japanese urban legends, scary stories, and creepypasta. It is translated, narrated, and produced by Tara Devlin.Earlier episodes ran for a half-hour, but newer ones run about forty-five minutes. Each features one to six kowai hanashis, usually dealing with the supernatural. Devlin collects stories from around the internet, most of them originating in some form on the occult forum of the popular text board 2chan, which has been a haven for Asian users to share stories of supernatural occurrences and strange happenings since 1999. True to the form of creepypasta, each tale is very short and concise, with the longest ones only running for around twenty minutes or so (with the exception of long specials).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The website Devlin uses to translate stories debuted in July 2017, with the actual podcast coming in November of that year.Vist the website here. The podcast is also available on YouTube and Spotify.

 Bolivian Army Ending: At the end of "Hasshaku-Sama," the narrator notes a statue containing the titular evil spirit is broken....giving it potential access to his home. But surely there's nothing to worry about, ''right?''
