In this episode, we explore real experiences that went far beyond “spiritual healing”: encounters with predatory spirits, looping insanity, shapeshifting shamans, and the terrifying aftermath that left people questioning their sanity, their safety, and their place in the world. These aren’t your typical retreat stories. These are the ones nobody wants to talk about.From clown phobia turned hellscape to Tetris-brain thought loops, Tim Burton creatures crawling from the void, and a chilling cultural warning about who Ayahuasca may truly be meant for—these firsthand accounts paint a picture of a medicine that can heal… or completely unravel you. If you're fascinated by psychedelic horror, spiritual misfires, and mind-bending supernatural encounters, this episode pulls back the curtain on the shadow realm of Ayahuasca.We'll see you on the inside..TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Bad Trips: The Dark Side of Ayahuasca…1:00 - Intro Music1:58 - Welcome In, Fellow Weirdos2:34 - Christian's Hawaiian Baseball Coach Story For The 400th Time6:41 - Join The Memberships Page So We can Afford a New Computer7:16 - BAD TRIP: It's a No From Me, Boss.11:30 - Christian Mocks Our Stories Author13:30 - Stay on the Resort if You Look Like Scott14:00 - Christian Mansplains Criminal Behavior..17:51 - BAD TRIP: Thought I Wasn't Coming Back..21:21 - Christian Acts Triggered By The "R" Word24:15 - Bring Out The Ol' Soapbox, C.27:00 - The Number of Creepy Clown Trips is Wild30:03 - Scott's Melatonin Dreams Unlock at 250,000 Subs31:40 - Butterscotch Gang Intermission32:58 - Otamatone Rave Song Fail33:43 - BAD TRIP: Darkness Eternal: A Timeline43:17 - BAD TRIP: A Warning For Whitey45:04 - Christian Admits to LOVING Racism?
