Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! Surprise, we are back! Not for season three just yet, but we decided to throw in a spooky, fun episode to hold you guys over until season three drops. This week Liv takes us all around the world to talk about the supernatural phenomenon (aka scientifically speaking), sleep paralysis. She dives into different cultures and their beliefs surrounding sleep demons and witches, who are ultimately to blame for sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and even nightmares.
 


This episode contains foul language, discussions about sleep paralysis, demons, and witches. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
