Stories of sleep paralysis, shadow figures, and ghostly relatives open a debate over whether frightening encounters reflect brain chemistry, spiritual perception, or both.
The episode’s most disturbing paranormal account follows a child who repeatedly encounters a hostile little girl apparition linked to injuries, terror, and a foul smell.
