Kimmy Hammons  •  Aloreing Podcast Episode • 6/13/2022

We hope you guys are enjoying the spooky lore because we have another one for you this week! Both Kimmy and Ryan will be diving deep into the lore of Okiku, one of Japan’s 3 famous ghost stories. So remember, no means no and if you don’t learn to count to 9 the Okiku can’t hurt you! We hope you enjoy this episode of Aloreing and can’t wait to see what you create.
