Have you ever encountered a terrifying shadowy presence looming over the foot of your bed? Was he wearing a hat?
In this episode Cat and Rebecca talk about their experiences with sleep paralysis and chat about a documentary that explores the phenomenon through the lens of several different cultures.
If you’ve woken up unable to move and seen something terrifying whether it’s an old hag, a ghost, a batlike creature with terrible claws or an alien wielding a probe you’ll know how real it feels, but is it? Listen and decide for yourself.
Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives it’s The Seeker and The Skeptic.
