Description

On today's creepy episode, we share tales of Old Hag and other Sleep Demons. We have an introduction piece, followed by two, true scary stories!


In folklore, the night hag is often depicted as a supernatural being or an evil spirit that visits people during their sleep.


Legend states that the night hag sits on the chest of the sleeping victim, causing feelings of pressure or suffocation, commonly known as sleep paralysis. Some tales describe her as an old, witch-like woman, while others portray her as a shadowy figure or even a demonic entity.


The night hag is believed to bring nightmares and bad dreams, sometimes even feeding off the fear and negative energy of those she torments. It is said that she can manipulate dreams and create terrifying illusions, making her presence all the more unsettling.
