Kaydra dives into the story of the Screaming Schoolgirls of Malaysia. In July of 2018, a 17 year old female student began to scream hysterically and uncontrollably… then, even stranger, dozens of schoolgirls began to join in. It turns out, similar events have been occurring for decades all around the world for seemingly no reason at all. What could be the cause? Could it be mass hysteria? Is it the paranormal? Is it a demonic possession? Whatever the case, this story will certainly perplex you!
