S4 E18: The Sleep Paralysis Episode
Manage episode 427859227 series 2867237
Have you ever woken up in the dead of night, unable to move, with an overwhelming sense of dread? You're not alone. This week on That Would Be Rad, we dive deep into the eerie world of sleep paralysis. Join your hosts, Tyler Bence and Woody Brown, as they explore the science, psychology, and global folklore behind this terrifying experience.
From the scientific breakdown of what happens in your brain during sleep paralysis to the psychological implications of this phenomenon, we cover it all. Learn about the types of hallucinations people experience, such as the sense of an evil presence (Intruder Hallucination), feeling pressure on the chest (Incubus Hallucination), and sensations of movement (Vestibular-Motor Hallucination).
We also delve into the origins of sleep paralysis from around the world, uncovering fascinating folklore such as the Old Hag in the United States, Kanashibari in Japan, the Devil on Your Back in Nigeria, Mara in Iceland, and Ghost Oppression in China.
To add to the mystery, we take a deep dive into the unexplained deaths of Hmong refugees in the 1980s, where otherwise healthy men died in their sleep, leading to theories about sleep paralysis and supernatural forces.
Tune in for a captivating journey through the shadows of the night. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with spine-chilling stories and mind-bending theories that will leave you questioning the boundaries of reality.
