Have you ever seen that 90s show California Dreams…well think of the theme song and just replace California with Paranormal. Or listen to this episode where Marisa sings it for you. Let's get creepy about your sleep. Having terrible nightmares? Siho tells you about the Baku, just your typical Japanese monster that eats your nightmares, but may also be equally terrifying. Then we head over to China to get into the phenomenon of Mèngyǎn, ghost oppression. You thought ghosts were scary when you were awake, how about the ones that can haunt your dreams and stop you from breathing!
