  The Curse of the Somers - The...

  The greatest controversy in the history of the US Navy of the early American Republic was the revelation that the son of the Secretary of War had seemingly plotted a bloody mutiny that would have turned the US brig Somers into a pirate ship. The plot discovered, he and his coconspirators were hastily condemned and hanged at sea. 
   
   
   
  The repercussions of those acts brought headlines, scandal, a fistfight at a cabinet meeting, a court martial, ruined lives, lost reputations, and tales of a haunted ship "bound for the devil" and lost tragically at sea with many of its crew. The "Somers affair" led to the founding of the US Naval Academy and it remains the Navy's only acknowledged mutiny in its history. The story also inspired Herman Melville's White-Jacket and Billy Budd. Others connected to the Somers included Commodore Perry, a relation and defender of the Somers's captain Mackenzie; James Fenimore Cooper, whose feud with the captain, dating back to the War of 1812, resurfaced in his reportage of the affair; and Raphael Semmes, the Somers's last captain, who later served in the Confederate Navy. 
   
   
   
  The Curse of the Somers is a thorough recreation of this classic tale, told with the help of recently uncovered evidence.

  Japanese Folktales - Myths...

  Japanese folklore is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from centuries of myths, legends, and supernatural tales. Rooted in the country’s deep connection to nature, spirituality, and tradition, these stories have shaped Japan’s cultural identity, influencing art, literature, and everyday customs. Whether passed down through oral traditions, ancient scrolls, or kabuki theater, these folktales continue to capture the imagination of generations. They offer not just entertainment but also profound lessons on morality, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape human lives.  
    
  At the core of Japanese mythology are the kami, divine spirits or gods that inhabit all aspects of existence, from towering mountains to small household objects. Shintoism, the indigenous belief system of Japan, revolves around the reverence of these spirits, which often play central roles in legendary tales. Stories of deities such as Amaterasu, the radiant sun goddess, and Susanoo, the wild storm god, illustrate the balance of harmony and chaos, creation and destruction. These myths offer insight into the spiritual foundation of Japan and the ways in which its people have long sought to explain the world around them.  
    
  Beyond the gods and celestial myths, Japanese folklore is rich with spirits, ghosts, and yokai—supernatural creatures that range from mischievous to terrifying. Some, like the playful kitsune (fox spirits) and shape-shifting tanuki (raccoon dogs), serve as tricksters who blur the line between good and evil. Others, such as the vengeful onryō, are restless spirits that return to haunt the living, often as a consequence of betrayal or tragedy. These ghostly tales have influenced everything from traditional Noh theater to modern horror films, keeping the eerie legacy of Japan’s supernatural folklore alive.
