In this episode of LilWeird Podcast, we explore the concept of liminality, that strange in-between state where you're no longer where you were, but not yet where you want to be. From eerie empty spaces and ghostly balete trees to the unsettling phenomenon of sleep paralysis, we dive into the mysteries that lie on the edges of reality. Join me as we journey through liminal spaces, time, and life transitions, and uncover the profound, and often creepy, transformations that happen in these threshold moments.

Show Notes:

• Introduction: What is liminality? The feeling of being stuck between two worlds—like standing at the crossroads of change.
• Part 1: Exploring liminality in life, spaces, and time.
  • Empty Parking lots, hotel hallways, doors and thresholds, and my personal story.
  • Liminal times- twilight and midnight.
• Part 2: Liminality in the paranormal world.
  • Ghosts and liminal spaces—spirits caught between life and death.
  • Balete Tree as a Liminal Space: From Balete Drive, Siquijor, to the Millenium Tree in Aurora Province, we explore the supernatural lore surrounding these iconic trees.
  • Sleep Paralysis: The terrifying in-between state between sleep and wakefulness, known as bangungot in Filipino folklore.
