Skin-Shedding Vampire of the South: the Terrifying Boo Hag THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 47

from The Weekly Strange · host Jon F Merz

Do you wake up utterly exhausted, feeling a crushing weight on your chest? 💀 In the silent Lowcountry nights of South Carolina and Georgia, locals whisper of the Boo Hag—a horrific, skinless entity that preys on the sleeping. This is more than just a spooky story; it's a deep dive into the spiritual warfare and cultural resilience of the Gullah Geechee people. We confront this unique vampire-witch that must shed its human skin to hunt, exploring its terrifying method of "riding" its victims—a chilling cultural explanation for sleep paralysis. Learn the powerful folk magic used to fight back, from the use of counting objects to the protective power of Haint Blue paint. The sun is its only weakness, and you're its easy meal.
