To many the concept of a migraine is that it is simply a severe headache; however to those who experience them, the condition is far more varied, complex and even supernatural. Sufferers have reported the presence of beings, getting blasted by beams of light and even swapping their consciousness with a doppelgänger. Drawing on a wealth of both clinical and anecdotal cases we discuss the high strangeness surrounding this perplexing neurological enigma and consider the possibility that rather than an illness, migraines and their associated conditions may be an internal doorway to a hidden reality contained within the mind. 

In our Plus+ extension we take a look at the stunning story of a man eating tiger on the loose in India and how one man who was vilified for slaying the deadly beast is now telling his story to clear his name.
