In the first part of this episode of the Curious Realm host Christopher Jordan welcomes Vicki Joy Anderson author of the book: They Only Come Out at Night. What is sleep paralysis? Are those who suffer from it simply in a form of dream-state, or is it something else? How do cases of sleep paralysis relate to everything from alien abduction, spiritual possession and more? In the second part of the episode, we welcome author and cryptozoologist Ryan Edwards, author of Cryptids of the World, and host of The Cryptid Chronicles to discuss the Cryptid known as Dog-Man, and how modern myth and urban legend has influenced the science of cryptozoology. Is the world of pop-culture helping or hurting the cause of cryptid research and what can we do to help further the science that is currently happening? Join the Curious Realm as we delve into the topics of sleep paralysis with Vicki Joy Anderson and cryptozoology science with Ryan Edwards.
