Sometime, about a century ago? Something like that. I'm not a historian. A family of exorcists sealed one valley away, so that mortals wouldn't enter. All of the youkai, the yurei not in the afterlife, the oni and monsters came to dwell there with only a few exceptions.
Humans had stopped believing, and it had gotten messy. Now? It's a valley with a big village of humans that still believe and countless spirits, all bored as shit and getting up to mischief at each other's expense because it's not safe to be outside the barrier anymore.

So, yeah, I run into a lot when I visit.
