Elizabeth shares a slice of her experiences with sleep paralysis, as well as all associated entities! Shadow people, hags, hatman, biblical angels, fae... even knife man (a new one), she's seen 'em all! We even throw unicorns and mermaids into the mix to make the episode more whimsical!


Can sleep demons actually be angels, and can sleep paralysis be a gateway towards lucid dreaming? Along the way we discuss the relationship between religion, spirituality and science, we attempt to communicate with our child selves, and share the burdens of being fellow indie/hobbyist podcast creators.
