Mysteries Naija Special: Have the Village People Finally Found You? (Sleep Paralysis)

The program

You wake up in the middle of the night. You're fully aware of your surroundings, but you can't move. You try to scream, but nothing comes out. And then you notice something in the room, or something sitting heavily on your chest.

For some people, it's a demon. For others, it's a ghost, a witch, or an unexplained presence. Across different cultures, people have described remarkably similar experiences, often with terrifying explanations.

In this Mysteries Naija Special, we look into sleep paralysis, the strange experiences people report, and what might actually be happening when the mind wakes up before the body does.

Listener discretion is advised.
