Sleep paralysis remains one of the world’s most puzzling disorders, known by different names across cultures and eras. Sufferers recount nightly visitations straight out of horror movies, by ghosts and demons who emanate concentrated evil. And scientists can’t deny that something inexplicable seems to happen to those in the throes of an episode. We travel from a bedroom in a small town in India to a luxury hotel to follow one woman’s journey with this baffling disorder.  

Special thanks to guest Ranita Roy, and Dr. Baland Jalal.
