I accidentally fell asleep to this episode last night, and I am here to watch it again. Thanks Bailey for desensitizing me to the point where dark history is a bedtime story. That’s what real friends are for.
The toddler is dressed as a japanese ogre called a oni. There is lots of different lore about Oni. They are generally believed to be cannibals. They are also associated with natural disasters and plagues. Edit* And any Japanese person would immediately recognize the baby as a oni. People who were claiming they heard a 'old woman' were referring to a onibaba. A old lady demon also common in japanese folklore.
It also may have been released around the time of Setsubun, or the spring festival holiday in Japan. It’s meant to celebrate when spring is coming and traditionally they throw dry soy beans at adults dressed up as Oni. So it’s kind of the opposite as well, where the baby is dressed up as an Oni instead of an adult. Traditionally 3:37 kids run around chasing the adult dressed as an Oni trying to come in and throw the soybeans as they shout, “Oni go outside and fortune stay inside.” And then you eat treats. It’s pretty fun, but those soybeans can hurt when the kids hit you sometimes.
I am Hmong and feel so honored to hear Bailey speak of us!!! 😂 I was excited to hear what Bailey will present when I saw the title already. But yes, sleep paralysis is real in the Hmong Community. It's a spiritual battle not to be taken lightly. With the amount of stories I have heard, I will never wish it upon my worst enemy. Dab tsuam literally means the ghost squishing/sitting on you, which explains the heavy chest pain/feeling and all the pictures depicting it. 55:10
Love your quarky personality , you always make me laugh . Love all your videos, you're the coolest on RUclips hands down, number 1 funny and your make-up is to die for lol
Ring around the roses, pocket full of poses, ashes- ashes we all fall down…. 😬 Hush little baby don’t you cry… This is an awesome idea OP!!! I’m totally here for it!! 🙌🏻
Another thing about La Llorona is if you hear her cries near you, she's far away and if you hear them far away, she's close by. I think most Hispanic families traumatized us kids with her story growing up 😂 loved this episode!
Okay but Bailey’s theory of the grey aliens being us in the future; big eyes for screens, long skinny fingers for poking our screens etc.. actually tracks more than anything else I’ve ever heard🤷♀️😂👌🏻
It’s a theory. But I think what happened to those people Was the result of government experiments and not actual aliens . Just my opinions. She could go way deeper with this stuff .
Would love a part 2 on conspiracy theories! In fact I think it would be nice to have a regular episode on conspiracy theories maybe once every 2 months? Love your videos so much Bailey!
Hey Bailey. The kid is dressed up as a Japanese ogre or oni. It's pretty common, there's even a festival in February called Setsubun that features kids throwing beans at the oni to scare it away. Why the kid is dressed up like one is beyond me
My ex had sleep paralysis a few times a year, which he called “being stuck.” He’d scream with his mouth closed until I shook him hard enough to un-stick him, which was terrifying for us both. What a time.
But before I knew how to calm myself down I would feel an evil presence like I would see a shadow underneath of my door when it was closed the light was on out in the hallway and sometimes I would hear knocking but then I begin to tell myself not to be scared and it helps so much
@ashleygrabenstein9673 no way..that's too creepy. My husband told me almost the same exact thing...and then he also said sometimes the shadows chase him when he goes to the bathroom at night. Only thing I can think of to make any sense of it is that he maybe is sleep walking and the "shadow person/people" seem to move with him. He said it lurks in one corner of the bedroom ceiling from time to time..and I, too have had to shake him awake when he is closed mouthed and I can hear muffled screams of either my name or "help me"...I am really starting to think that he is having contact with the undead while he is sleeping.. and that really freaks me out.. him and I have had contact with his dead grandparents after they passed, too. Idk if I should lean into it or ignore it completely 😬
I've been very depressed lately and this is the first time I've laughed in a while. Thank you for being you and your dark humor. Keep it up, you make a big difference in this world.
My ex’s grandpa was a Hmong shaman & it was such a strange feeling walking into their home. Their culture is beautiful and their stories of how they immigrated are so amazing. Thank you Bailey for mentioning the Hmong people!
As a Hmong person that grew up catholic, the traditional spiritual belief in shamanism is so interesting to me. Even things like dreams can have significant meanings. Some things correlate so much to real life that it feels too close to feel like just a coincidence!
whenever you realise your in it, put all your might into wriggling your toes, while saying wake up and as soon as you can do that, move onto your legs ect and you will be able to wake up from it, i get it way too often and it always works for me x
I've lived with this for over 20 yrs. If you can remember to calm yourself down instead of trying to move and scream. You can just focus on trying to only move your little toe. I find that it wakes me up almost instantly, I've been doing it so long I don't remember any other way I've ever gotten out of sleep paralysis
It’s terrifying! Everyone who doesn’t experience it thinks you’re insane, but being trapped with something dark is horrifying. I can’t sleep on my back anymore because it almost always happens. I’ve seen a dark figure in my ceiling and at the end of my bed/walking around it, felt handprints pushing into my bed around me, a tall dark figure in a trench coat and top hat, and the little demon chest monkey (that’s what I call it lol) that hurts my chest. I’ve also lucid dreamed before that I was on my way to harm my old roommates but I had to stop myself in the dream. At my old house I would wake up every morning at 3:23. We finally moved and it has gotten better, but I still refuse to sleep on my back and the times I roll over in my sleep it almost always happens.
Yep the recording of Betty's hypnosis session is really distressing. She's talking about them putting the needle in her belly button and how incredibly painful it was and how she was just begging them to please take it out. Whether the memory is real or imagined, it's really awful to hear anybody so terrified.
Heya I'm Japanese. That red child with a horn in the Kleenex commercial in the beginning is called "Oni", equivalent of goblin in Japanese myths. They do bad things to people, causing troubles.
Bailey I can't thank you enough for talking about the hmong refugees, as a hmong person I feel as though we don't get brought up alot and it means so so much to me that you brought up the hmong community. Thank you so much and your the best. Keep the history coming!
Joan is truly the star of the show. I listen to the podcast in my car on my commutes, but I watch the RUclips episodes to see what iconic ensemble Joan is wearing this week.
YES! Displacement and sleep paralysis. I'm so glad you're doing this topic! Between 1991-2013, I moved 98x and withing 2 weeks of each move, I'd have these terrifying sleep paralysis episodes. I was told lots of things: my brain doesn’t process sleep cycles correctly--doesn't shut off, that while my brain is dreaming and body is asleep, my senses are awake--I can hear whats going on in reality around me and my eyes are open, just can't move. I was told result of childhood concussion, adult concussion/domestic abuse. Amazingly, these episodes have drastically reduced since I got sober 7.5 years ago.
This is one of my major fears to have to go through someday. I also experienced domestic abuse and I’m almost positive had a concussion from it at least once. Got hit so hard the color in my vision like, went off. Not like black and white but was in different shades. Then I was really sleepy that day. Glad that chapter is over but I do get regular nightmares. I don’t want the nightmares on steroids that sleep paralysis exhibit. I’m sorry for everything you went through, and I’m immensely proud of you for overcoming such an insidious disease. It takes a plethora of strength and perseverance. Best wishes on your healing journey! 💕🩷💕
Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood happens too. That's what my son's death was classified as. It happens in children 12 months to 18 years where a cause of death can not be found after an autopsy. One of the things being researched as a potential cause are genetic mutations that cause arrhythmias, things like Brugada Syndrome. ❤
In Newfoundland we typically call the sleep paralysis image the “Old Hag”. For all of us who have seen her, she appears as an old woman that shows up in different places in the room! Dying for this NL shout out!💕💕
Had sleep paralysis for 20 yrs.. finally got rid of it, also have seen hat man with a witness while fully awake .. would be cool if she looked into that
My best friend suffers from bad sleep paralysis and she tells me about it a lot. Every time she will see something different, sometimes she won't have a hallucination but just experience the paralysis. She told me once she had a woman sitting on her chest, choking her accompanied with a pressure on her chest and difficulty breathing. She says she taught herself to just keep her eyes closed and tries to stay calm nowadays and it got better. When she was at her worst, she experienced it everynight, sometimes even twice a night and it used to keep her awake for days on end just to not have to go through it again.
Heyyy silent watcher here for the past few years. Bailey I just want to say I love your personality and content and I’m so happy that you are finding your way in life and even though you get those tough moments in life, just know, we’re all rooting for you and love you. (Yes I know I don’t know you personally but we’re not gonna go there 😂)
There is another event called SUDEP - Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. People with epilepsy die in their sleep and it is caused by seizures. I have epilepsy and it is a lingering thing in the mind of us all. Thanks for all your hard work, Bailey. You’re great at what you do. 💜
BAILY, my daughter and I both experience sleep paralysis. We call it freeze dreams. I went and had a sleep study done where they caught it. My neurologist let me know that it is actually a neuro condition and yes you are awake but also still in REM sleep so you are dreaming while awake and because you are afraid it causes nightmares so you hear and see things that are not there, I tend to see a room full of 1800 style people talking all around me who do not even see Me my daughter actually sees things that are super scary. We both hear things that are not there. It is super scary.
When I get it.., I know I’m awake but I’m stuck.. like,really stuck and I can’t move at all. The whole time I tell myself to get up but I also think I can’t breathe at all. Ugh! I hate it! My kids have it too. My son has them all the time he says, but he doesn’t seem to be as traumatized as me and my girls!
I’m hmong and I love that you’re mentioning Hmong people. I’ve also experienced sleep paralysis a few times and they are terrifying. Idk how but I can tell if “it” was a male or female. It’s so scary and weird.
Hi Bailey! I would love to see you do a dark history on the Boys Scouts of America. i just watched the netflix documentary but feel like so much more light could be shed on the situation and you would do great at that!
@miss.kelliewhyte Oíche samhain means eve of November. You should look up some of our folk tales like the Children of lír and fionn mccull and the Banshee. They are cool stories 😎
There has been weeks where I experience sleep Paralysis every night and the scariest was waking up with my face in the pillow and being unable to move 😅that shadow person is the least of my problems when that happens
Hey Bailey! Ive suffered from sleep paralysis since I was a kid. It’s absolutely terrifying! I start hyperventilating and begging my body to start to move. The last time it happened I felt a hand grab the back of my neck. As soon as I was able to move I ran across the room screaming, scared my husband.
I had awareness during one of my surgeries, enough that i was telling them all the songs I remembered hearing. And the surgeon was honestly horrified. He asked if i felt any pain. And all i felt was tugging sensations without pain luckily,
This is one of my nightmares. I told the surgeon I was scared of it when I was first being put under. And thank goodness I don't remember it, but they told me that I was infact walking at them and that I took way wah longer than normal to go to sleep. Right before Fallin asleep I helped put myself on the operating table. They told me "you should be sleeping." Now I'm terrified of surgery
My sleep paralysis was a lot like yours but it lifted my blanket and I closed my eyes to pretend to be sleeping. I was terrified. As soon as it walked away I got up and my door was locked, but I heard it come in
This was educational and fun, as always. As someone with sleep paralysis due to a sleeping disorder, it is absolutely as terrifying as Bailey reported. I appreciate that this series is educational and often highlights real medical conditions that impact so many people. 🎉❤
I had sleep paralysis before i knew what it was during a very stressful time during my life. It feels evil & malicious.I believe the stress is what brought it on. I was scared senseless & woke up my husband. He knew what it was & helped comfort me thank the lort because i was so confused & scared. It grabbed my freaking ankles!
Magnesium kills sleep demons! I have suffered from sleep paralysis my whole life. After I had been very sick, I was getting it at least 3 times a week and I was going insane and thought the house was haunted, not helped by the bathroom clock that remotely kept the time and I didn't have to set it when the clocks changed but at night the hands would spin round and round with super fast ticking. Anyway, someone suggested magnesium supplements and it almost fully went away
@@zanderisamazing5043isn’t it the absolute worst!!?? Mine is usually around my whole body! I think the last time it happened, I thought there was a snake suffocating me.
It's such a relief knowing you're not alone after it happens since it feels like you're just going crazy! I'll remember magnesium if it ever happens again.
@@brown.frown. so, for me, it's a daily supplement that I've been taking. I take 375mg per day, 250 not enough, 500 gives me hives and 375 is an awkward amount to obtain. Magnesium is known to help with restless leg syndrome which is also a night occurrence, so I think it links in to that. If it is a frequent thing for you it's really worth taking it consistently although I still get it occasionally, it's 3 times a year as opposed to 3 times a week lol
Hi Bailey!! I'm Hmong and am so happy you cover the topic of Hmong sleep paralysis! Growing up, I've always heard about it from family and friends and it always freaked me out! Appreciate you and all of your videos!!
Dang this episode ❤ I grew up with Llorona, pretty close to the version you told😂 Scared the poo out of my brother and I when we were younger. My dad would always tell us the story when we were passing through a tiny mountain town in the middle of the night. He'd point to an abandoned house as we crossed the weakened bridge and worried about the whiney wind, howling beneath us 😮 I was experiencing sleep paralysis a few years ago but it would happen AS I was falling asleep... and it was TERRIFYING. When I visited Nola with my boyfriend, I had an episode in our hotel room. I knew the history of the hotel and about the unfortunate children who had passed in a fire when it had previously been a school. As I lay there motionless only a few moments after hitting the pillow and seemingly falling asleep, my breathing slowed way down to a whisper. My mind was wide awake and my eyes and mouth were "sewn" shut. I Saw a dark grayish figure the size of a child standing in our open doorway, kind of leaning in. As I tried to scream my boyfriend's name and shake myself awake after what felt like 20 minutes but perhaps was just one or two, I finally gasped awake and was able to explain to my boyfriend why I had been slightly twitching in bed. He had no clue i was stuck in a prison right next to him. I had my last straw with it and decided to Google if there were any nutritional deficiencies linked to this experience and turns out, CoQ10 was my answer and as soon as I took the supplements, I was completely free from my traumatic sleeps. ❤❤ I'm sorry for anyone experiencing this. Baily said it, you live through your own horror scene. It's wild how your brain tries to make sense of it. I once thought it was my boyfriend just laying on top of me casually and I was like get off me dude, i cant breathe😂
Its the most wonderful day of the week! The Queen Bailey Sarian has arrived to bless us with her presence and knowledge! As always you are a rockstar and stay true to you! Love you ❤️🐝🌻❤️
Love ya girlie! You always brighten my day and I've been going through a lot lately so please keep posting! You should do an episode on the battle between Nickola Tesla and Thomas Edison. There's a lot of drama and I would just LOVE to hear your version of it.
I know this is late for this episode airing but, I am a busy women, I love you so much Bailey! Keep up the amazingly entertaining work you and your team put in to your videos. Love you!
One particular instance of sleep paralysis that really stuck with me was an episode where I envisioned my entire bedframe being slid and shifted at a freakishly fast pace to every corner of the room, & when I woke from the bed was inches away from the wall that its usually propped against.. Needless to say, I'm still spooked.
Bailey most of mine are the same way. It's always a rush to wake yourself up. Absolutely terrifying and although it happens like 2 times a year it's something you never forget
I knew about La Llorona from watching the Grimm TV series! And an animated series with Bailey, Joan & Paul would be amazing! She could go on Dark History adventures through a time machine 😁
The child in the Kleenex commercial was supposed to be a baby Oni- "Oni, in Japanese folklore, is a type of demonic creature often of giant size, great strength, and fearful appearance." Which does add to the spookiness of the commercial. I'd have assumed it was a commercial made specifically for spooky season, but the ad aired in the 1980's and it was March. Japan has Halloween on Oct. 31st too, they just don't do trick or treating.
Great video, Bailey! I have sleep paralysis and sometimes I feel a presence but have never seen anything, thank goodness. But it's super weird. I can only fully wake up if I let myself go back to sleep. It's so weird.
Absolutely huge fan Bailey! Super happy to have you back! Your awesomely amazing and bring so much humor to dark moments in the best way and you really help get the story across that we didn't know the facts for, I truly appreciate you and everything you and your team does! Thank you!!❤❤
Throughly enjoy your episodes and so glad to see someone who loves to tell truthful stories to educate others ❤️watching you a full year now and you never disappoint
Okay...this is legit creepy! I am reading a novel with my class right now called Charlie Hernandez and the League of Shadows and it is about Latin American myths. I had never heard of La Llarona before, but she was the character we read about today!!!! Then I come home and put this on and you are talking about it! I am kinda spooked. Not even gonna lie.
Bailey, your last two episodes have hit home pretty well, I have night terrors which are considered a parasomnia. Super rare in adults. Only 1% of the adult population suffers with it and I've had it my whole life. I've hurt my husband, myself and a few walls. The nightmares stick with me for days sometimes, so even though you don't die, sometimes it feels like you really did
@@lela8081 yeah it's hard to know sometimes when I do finally pull my self out of sleep if it was real or not. Waking up is definitely the hardest part for me physically. I have to fight to stay awake and it's hard
I love the alien story, I started laughing when you said Betty and Barney I was waiting for you to say Rubble 😂😂😂, then you went to the Purple dinosaur...🤣🤣🤣 I'm horrible
I've been experiencing it for the last couple years & it's a terrifying experience. 1 thing that helps is not sleeping on your back. I read about that tip & it's definitely reduced the occurrences. But I can say if I accidentally fall asleep on my back I experience it almost every time.
I love listening/watching her shows while... (Under the influence 😜💨💨) and chill.. this episode has me rollin 🤣🤣🤣🤣 her vibe and energy is everything in the shows! Love ya Bailey 😘💗
Yep. Sleep paralysis is super scary. I've had a few times due to meds. Similar to your story. No demon, but looming threat, and unable to move and react. Thanks for sharing your story
BAILEY! I’m Hmong & long-time listener/follower. I had no idea you would cover the sleep paralysis among my people! It’s a serious spiritual thing. Sleep paralysis takes advantage of the spiritually-vulnerable multiple times or anyone who is gifted with spirit guides where they eventually need to choose whether or not they want to pursue a shamanic journey. My only case of this was when I was super young and was sick at the time. It manifested in large piles of blankets being thrown onto me. It was terrifying.
Bailey I’m so excited to watch this! It makes my spooky szn so much better! Thanks for always making me laugh and continuing to invoke a sense of interest and suspense 🎃💕.
21:00 New Hampshire native here!!! There's also rumor the night that Betty and her hubby went missing, the (now abandoned) radar base on top of a mountain in Vermont had reported activity over the same area that they were abducted, the same night.
So weird Bailey made this video a day after I had another sleep paralysis episode and literally saw demons.Also love the way Bailey’s having fun during this spooky season
I suffer from sleep paralysis it’s so terrible feeling and sticks with me the whole day. I can’t even talk about what last week’s was like. It was horrific
I watch all of your videos but this one I was cracking up so much!! You're fkn hilarious ❤😂 love your humor in all your videos. "what r you Joan? Psychotic?" and the guy still finishing when seeing her face 💀💀😂
I’ve been avoiding this video for a while for fear of getting freaked out by ghost stories. But you told it in such a funny way. I was dying through the whole video😭😭😭
This episode reminds me of the book series from middle school that gave me nightmares for all eternity lol “Scary Stories to Read in the Dark” I LOVE IT ALL SO MUCH!
I accidentally fell asleep to this episode last night, and I am here to watch it again. Thanks Bailey for desensitizing me to the point where dark history is a bedtime story. That’s what real friends are for.
me doing the exact same thing rn
I used to do the same thing but my partner can't listen to things like this before bed bless him.
@@camvin575totally understandable but some of us are just weird like that. I can fall asleep to true crime. 😮
I literally rewatch her videos every night to sleep
Oh saaaame. I sleep great to MM&M (if I can stop watching)
The giggles make this so much more entertaining and lighter than it should be. I’m living for it.
The toddler is dressed as a japanese ogre called a oni. There is lots of different lore about Oni. They are generally believed to be cannibals. They are also associated with natural disasters and plagues.
Edit* And any Japanese person would immediately recognize the baby as a oni. People who were claiming they heard a 'old woman' were referring to a onibaba. A old lady demon also common in japanese folklore.
I was scrolling the comments hoping someone knowledgeable addressed this 😊 thank you!!
It also may have been released around the time of Setsubun, or the spring festival holiday in Japan. It’s meant to celebrate when spring is coming and traditionally they throw dry soy beans at adults dressed up as Oni. So it’s kind of the opposite as well, where the baby is dressed up as an Oni instead of an adult. Traditionally 3:37 kids run around chasing the adult dressed as an Oni trying to come in and throw the soybeans as they shout, “Oni go outside and fortune stay inside.” And then you eat treats. It’s pretty fun, but those soybeans can hurt when the kids hit you sometimes.
Interesting
Is this like yababa.... the old lady from spirited away 😮
I recognize it from Dragon Ball Z lol
I am Hmong and feel so honored to hear Bailey speak of us!!! 😂 I was excited to hear what Bailey will present when I saw the title already.
But yes, sleep paralysis is real in the Hmong Community. It's a spiritual battle not to be taken lightly. With the amount of stories I have heard, I will never wish it upon my worst enemy. Dab tsuam literally means the ghost squishing/sitting on you, which explains the heavy chest pain/feeling and all the pictures depicting it. 55:10
Wes Craven was inspired by this phenomenon to make the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie.
I have had sleep paralysis. It's the absolutely worst and scariest thing I have ever been through!
@jessicafroelich6813 that is soooo interesting!!! I never knew that!!
@sarahhavle113 mind telling me your experience? 👀
Bailey!!! Please can you do a dark history on nursery rhymes and children’s tv programmes? There’s sooooooo much to unpack!
This one piqued my interest
Yes! It's so crazy what rhe actually backgrounds on those songs are.
Love your quarky personality , you always make me laugh . Love all your videos, you're the coolest on RUclips hands down, number 1 funny and your make-up is to die for lol
Yusss please!
Ring around the roses, pocket full of poses,
ashes- ashes we all fall down…. 😬
Hush little baby don’t you cry…
This is an awesome idea OP!!! I’m totally here for it!! 🙌🏻
Another thing about La Llorona is if you hear her cries near you, she's far away and if you hear them far away, she's close by. I think most Hispanic families traumatized us kids with her story growing up 😂 loved this episode!
Yes!
Kinda brilliant way to keep kids from playing where they could drown IMO
@@sarahissersohn5495 honestly, I was terrified to be by rivers or lakes at night when no adults were around so yes lol!
I've never heard of this, but my parents didn't talk to us about chupacabras or Llorona stuck. Some of my tías did to their kids.
wow the same thing is said about a type of ghost called kuntilanak here in indonesia but instead of crying it's laughter
It’s raining, freezing cold, hot cup of tea, and my daughter (16 months old) and I are snuggling on the couch= a perfect day to watch Dark History!
sounds so cozy!!! ;v;
dark history has its own vibe~~~~
dark, cozy and mysterious~~~
Bailey bursting into laughter while telling the stories makes this 10 times better😭
Right!!!
I am waiting for a reel of giggle fits because I'm the same way
Yesss 😂 I’m over here cracking up
BAILEY GIGGLE REEL! Pretty please, we all need this in our lives!
I'm dying over the energy in this video 😂
Okay but Bailey’s theory of the grey aliens being us in the future; big eyes for screens, long skinny fingers for poking our screens etc.. actually tracks more than anything else I’ve ever heard🤷♀️😂👌🏻
Same and the no nose and mouth could be our future selves using a mask that's small and blends into the features.
I'm pretty sure SouthPark already did this. 😂😂😂🎉
Its true
It’s a theory. But I think what happened to those people
Was the result of government experiments and not actual aliens . Just my opinions. She could go way deeper with this stuff .
Not exactly bailey's theory lol
Would love a part 2 on conspiracy theories! In fact I think it would be nice to have a regular episode on conspiracy theories maybe once every 2 months? Love your videos so much Bailey!
Hey Bailey. The kid is dressed up as a Japanese ogre or oni. It's pretty common, there's even a festival in February called Setsubun that features kids throwing beans at the oni to scare it away. Why the kid is dressed up like one is beyond me
Came here to write that! 🖤
Came to write the sane thing lol
He's Ten from the anime Urusei Yatsura
Fun fact, I live in Japan and my birthday is Setsubun (usually)
Am I a demon or a savior? 😂
Thanks for the explanation. I had no clue. 😂
Thanks for giggling so much this episode. It takes the scariness away. Your alien theory makes alot of sense.
My ex had sleep paralysis a few times a year, which he called “being stuck.” He’d scream with his mouth closed until I shook him hard enough to un-stick him, which was terrifying for us both. What a time.
Yes I've experienced this exact thing. It's terrible! So scary
I remember both my experiences, and hope never to get them anytime soon!
But before I knew how to calm myself down I would feel an evil presence like I would see a shadow underneath of my door when it was closed the light was on out in the hallway and sometimes I would hear knocking but then I begin to tell myself not to be scared and it helps so much
Wow !!!!! ☹️

Idk if I should lean into it or ignore it completely 😬
I laughed to tears at "she had already lost it, she got it back for sec and then lost it again"
I've been very depressed lately and this is the first time I've laughed in a while. Thank you for being you and your dark humor. Keep it up, you make a big difference in this world.
Hang in there ❤
@@KimDrewTheLine thank you. I'm holding on every day.
My ex’s grandpa was a Hmong shaman & it was such a strange feeling walking into their home. Their culture is beautiful and their stories of how they immigrated are so amazing. Thank you Bailey for mentioning the Hmong people!
Rawr
As a Hmong person that grew up catholic, the traditional spiritual belief in shamanism is so interesting to me. Even things like dreams can have significant meanings. Some things correlate so much to real life that it feels too close to feel like just a coincidence!
Bailey you’re full of chaos this episode and I’m so here for it 😂😂😂 it’s gold
I’m guessing she broke into the wrong “halloween” candy stash 😅. But, I too, am here for it. She’s hilarious 😂
@@violetstorm8451 hahaha yes! 😂
and redbulls probably hahaha@@violetstorm8451
@@violetstorm8451RIGHT haha, LMBO🤣🤣🤣
Obsessed.. couldn’t stop laughing. 🤙🏻😂
I hate sleep paralysis. No way to move or make a noise is the worst! Thanks for telling your story about it Bailey.
whenever you realise your in it, put all your might into wriggling your toes, while saying wake up and as soon as you can do that, move onto your legs ect and you will be able to wake up from it, i get it way too often and it always works for me x
I've lived with this for over 20 yrs. If you can remember to calm yourself down instead of trying to move and scream. You can just focus on trying to only move your little toe. I find that it wakes me up almost instantly, I've been doing it so long I don't remember any other way I've ever gotten out of sleep paralysis
It’s terrifying! Everyone who doesn’t experience it thinks you’re insane, but being trapped with something dark is horrifying. I can’t sleep on my back anymore because it almost always happens. I’ve seen a dark figure in my ceiling and at the end of my bed/walking around it, felt handprints pushing into my bed around me, a tall dark figure in a trench coat and top hat, and the little demon chest monkey (that’s what I call it lol) that hurts my chest. I’ve also lucid dreamed before that I was on my way to harm my old roommates but I had to stop myself in the dream. At my old house I would wake up every morning at 3:23. We finally moved and it has gotten better, but I still refuse to sleep on my back and the times I roll over in my sleep it almost always happens.
Yep the recording of Betty's hypnosis session is really distressing. She's talking about them putting the needle in her belly button and how incredibly painful it was and how she was just begging them to please take it out. Whether the memory is real or imagined, it's really awful to hear anybody so terrified.
Have you heard the tapes?
I think it was our own people… military industrial complex not actually aliens
Heya I'm Japanese. That red child with a horn in the Kleenex commercial in the beginning is called "Oni", equivalent of goblin in Japanese myths. They do bad things to people, causing troubles.
Bailey I can't thank you enough for talking about the hmong refugees, as a hmong person I feel as though we don't get brought up alot and it means so so much to me that you brought up the hmong community. Thank you so much and your the best. Keep the history coming!
I'm sure nightmare on elm Street was loosely based on these Hmong young men.
Just so weird to hear about these mens deaths.
Joan is truly the star of the show. I listen to the podcast in my car on my commutes, but I watch the RUclips episodes to see what iconic ensemble Joan is wearing this week.
YES! Displacement and sleep paralysis. I'm so glad you're doing this topic! Between 1991-2013, I moved 98x and withing 2 weeks of each move, I'd have these terrifying sleep paralysis episodes. I was told lots of things: my brain doesn’t process sleep cycles correctly--doesn't shut off, that while my brain is dreaming and body is asleep, my senses are awake--I can hear whats going on in reality around me and my eyes are open, just can't move. I was told result of childhood concussion, adult concussion/domestic abuse. Amazingly, these episodes have drastically reduced since I got sober 7.5 years ago.
This is one of my major fears to have to go through someday. I also experienced domestic abuse and I’m almost positive had a concussion from it at least once. Got hit so hard the color in my vision like, went off. Not like black and white but was in different shades. Then I was really sleepy that day. Glad that chapter is over but I do get regular nightmares. I don’t want the nightmares on steroids that sleep paralysis exhibit. I’m sorry for everything you went through, and I’m immensely proud of you for overcoming such an insidious disease. It takes a plethora of strength and perseverance. Best wishes on your healing journey! 💕🩷💕
Congrats on getting sober ❤ so sorry you had to go through such horrible events in your life. Sending well wishes x
Drops in blood sugar can exacerbate sleep paralysis occurances
@@jessnoske3020I had no idea
The 90s couldn't be survived by this generation today. I'm very happy for them, although it does currently feel like that cold war era
Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood happens too. That's what my son's death was classified as. It happens in children 12 months to 18 years where a cause of death can not be found after an autopsy. One of the things being researched as a potential cause are genetic mutations that cause arrhythmias, things like Brugada Syndrome. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢❤
This is funny more than spooky coz of how she tells the stories 😂 Love Bailey!
So need to do a Dark History Episode about the Power Rangers, and how some of the cast and crew died or suffered from unknown illnesses. 🤯
As a Mexican American, I’m LIVING for her llorona impersonation lol
Growing up with this tale I'm rolling lol
Yo sameeeeee 😂😂😂😂
Same lol 😅
Same! 😂😂
She had too much fun with that one!! 😅🤣
In Newfoundland we typically call the sleep paralysis image the “Old Hag”. For all of us who have seen her, she appears as an old woman that shows up in different places in the room! Dying for this NL shout out!💕💕
I had to go back and listen again, just to make sure she was indeed referencing to our province. Haha
@@mywolfsongme too..
Then I went to the comments to find other Newfoundlanders!!
Dang girl! You are having way too much fun telling these stories. I'm here for it. 😂❤
I LOVE when she just bursts into laughter or starts to giggle, I actually laugh out loud hearing (AND seeing her lol)
I can’t believe Bailey spent so long talking about sleep paralysis demons and never once mentioned the hat man
Had sleep paralysis for 20 yrs.. finally got rid of it, also have seen hat man with a witness while fully awake .. would be cool if she looked into that
My best friend suffers from bad sleep paralysis and she tells me about it a lot. Every time she will see something different, sometimes she won't have a hallucination but just experience the paralysis. She told me once she had a woman sitting on her chest, choking her accompanied with a pressure on her chest and difficulty breathing. She says she taught herself to just keep her eyes closed and tries to stay calm nowadays and it got better. When she was at her worst, she experienced it everynight, sometimes even twice a night and it used to keep her awake for days on end just to not have to go through it again.
Heyyy silent watcher here for the past few years. Bailey I just want to say I love your personality and content and I’m so happy that you are finding your way in life and even though you get those tough moments in life, just know, we’re all rooting for you and love you. (Yes I know I don’t know you personally but we’re not gonna go there 😂)
There is another event called SUDEP - Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. People with epilepsy die in their sleep and it is caused by seizures. I have epilepsy and it is a lingering thing in the mind of us all.
Thanks for all your hard work, Bailey. You’re great at what you do. 💜
Isn’t that what happened to Cameron Boyce? So sad, must be scary :( ❤
Happen to a little boy who I went to school with who wide up passing away due to epilepsy :(.
My neighbor's son died from that.
BAILY, my daughter and I both experience sleep paralysis. We call it freeze dreams. I went and had a sleep study done where they caught it. My neurologist let me know that it is actually a neuro condition and yes you are awake but also still in REM sleep so you are dreaming while awake and because you are afraid it causes nightmares so you hear and see things that are not there, I tend to see a room full of 1800 style people talking all around me who do not even see Me my daughter actually sees things that are super scary. We both hear things that are not there. It is super scary.
Yep
When I get it.., I know I’m awake but I’m stuck.. like,really stuck and I can’t move at all. The whole time I tell myself to get up but I also think I can’t breathe at all. Ugh! I hate it! My kids have it too. My son has them all the time he says, but he doesn’t seem to be as traumatized as me and my girls!
I have experienced sleep paralysis for over 20 yrs. I thankfully found a way to get out of it instead of just laying there trying to scream. Lol
I tell myself to just go back to sleep and I pray. It’s so scary. When I finally wake up I have a hard time catching my breath.
I’m hmong and I love that you’re mentioning Hmong people. I’ve also experienced sleep paralysis a few times and they are terrifying. Idk how but I can tell if “it” was a male or female. It’s so scary and weird.
Hi Bailey! I would love to see you do a dark history on the Boys Scouts of America. i just watched the netflix documentary but feel like so much more light could be shed on the situation and you would do great at that!
You should totally do an episode on Irish myth and legends. We have so many like Halloween and the Banshee. Its right up your alley ❤
Wow the Banshee is from Ireland???
I think everybody who is into this sort of stuff (or watched charmed) knows the banshee!!!
Isn't Halloween Scottish as in Samhain???
@miss.kelliewhyte Oíche samhain means eve of November. You should look up some of our folk tales like the Children of lír and fionn mccull and the Banshee. They are cool stories 😎
Oh I’m here for Bailey's next Netflix adventure! Telenovela edition with her amazing La Llorona impersonation! 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 yes yes highly agree 😂😂
Girl yes 👏
Y si 😂
There has been weeks where I experience sleep Paralysis every night and the scariest was waking up with my face in the pillow and being unable to move 😅that shadow person is the least of my problems when that happens
I'm over here missing "Shana sha, Shana sha...".
Looking forward to what's next 🥳
Ahhhhh I love spooky season with Bailey 🤭😫
The best!! I love conspiracy theories!!
Me too ☺️
Barney and Betty from the Flintstones ♥️♥️
Hey Bailey! Ive suffered from sleep paralysis since I was a kid. It’s absolutely terrifying! I start hyperventilating and begging my body to start to move. The last time it happened I felt a hand grab the back of my neck. As soon as I was able to move I ran across the room screaming, scared my husband.
'alien daddy' LOL only Bailey can come up with this hilarity 😆😆😆
I’m Hmong and when Bailey spoke about the Hmong people I knew exactly what she was talking about. Thank you for sharing.
Bailey can make a dark history episode on lamps and I would watch it
Bailey when is the lamp episode dropping??? 😂😂😂
Me too lol
I had awareness during one of my surgeries, enough that i was telling them all the songs I remembered hearing. And the surgeon was honestly horrified. He asked if i felt any pain. And all i felt was tugging sensations without pain luckily,
that's on my fears list. Thankfully you didn't feel pain because that would be absolutely awful.
I had surgery when I was 13 I woke up in the middle of it screaming. And have woken up in 2 others as well. It's an awful experience.
This is one of my nightmares. I told the surgeon I was scared of it when I was first being put under. And thank goodness I don't remember it, but they told me that I was infact walking at them and that I took way wah longer than normal to go to sleep. Right before Fallin asleep I helped put myself on the operating table. They told me "you should be sleeping." Now I'm terrified of surgery
the gasp i made when you said NH. Lived here my whole life and have NEVER heard that story. love this!
My sleep paralysis was a lot like yours but it lifted my blanket and I closed my eyes to pretend to be sleeping. I was terrified. As soon as it walked away I got up and my door was locked, but I heard it come in
This was educational and fun, as always. As someone with sleep paralysis due to a sleeping disorder, it is absolutely as terrifying as Bailey reported. I appreciate that this series is educational and often highlights real medical conditions that impact so many people. 🎉❤
I had sleep paralysis before i knew what it was during a very stressful time during my life. It feels evil & malicious.I believe the stress is what brought it on. I was scared senseless & woke up my husband. He knew what it was & helped comfort me thank the lort because i was so confused & scared. It grabbed my freaking ankles!
Magnesium kills sleep demons!
I have suffered from sleep paralysis my whole life. After I had been very sick, I was getting it at least 3 times a week and I was going insane and thought the house was haunted, not helped by the bathroom clock that remotely kept the time and I didn't have to set it when the clocks changed but at night the hands would spin round and round with super fast ticking. Anyway, someone suggested magnesium supplements and it almost fully went away
@@zanderisamazing5043isn’t it the absolute worst!!?? Mine is usually around my whole body! I think the last time it happened, I thought there was a snake suffocating me.
When I was a kid I used to get it and I swear I was being choked by something and couldn't scream even though I tried it was terrifying
It's such a relief knowing you're not alone after it happens since it feels like you're just going crazy! I'll remember magnesium if it ever happens again.
@@brown.frown. so, for me, it's a daily supplement that I've been taking. I take 375mg per day, 250 not enough, 500 gives me hives and 375 is an awkward amount to obtain. Magnesium is known to help with restless leg syndrome which is also a night occurrence, so I think it links in to that. If it is a frequent thing for you it's really worth taking it consistently although I still get it occasionally, it's 3 times a year as opposed to 3 times a week lol
The “CAW” by Joan always makes me laugh 😂 LOVE YA BAILEY!
Bailey had extra fun doing this video 😂😂❤
Ikr? 😂❤
Something about the audio on this video sounds weird to me on the TV..
🎉
I’m getting the same issue! It sounds like she’s in a bucket
Hi Bailey!! I'm Hmong and am so happy you cover the topic of Hmong sleep paralysis! Growing up, I've always heard about it from family and friends and it always freaked me out! Appreciate you and all of your videos!!
Dang this episode ❤
I grew up with Llorona, pretty close to the version you told😂 Scared the poo out of my brother and I when we were younger. My dad would always tell us the story when we were passing through a tiny mountain town in the middle of the night. He'd point to an abandoned house as we crossed the weakened bridge and worried about the whiney wind, howling beneath us 😮
I was experiencing sleep paralysis a few years ago but it would happen AS I was falling asleep... and it was TERRIFYING.
When I visited Nola with my boyfriend, I had an episode in our hotel room. I knew the history of the hotel and about the unfortunate children who had passed in a fire when it had previously been a school.
As I lay there motionless only a few moments after hitting the pillow and seemingly falling asleep, my breathing slowed way down to a whisper. My mind was wide awake and my eyes and mouth were "sewn" shut. I Saw a dark grayish figure the size of a child standing in our open doorway, kind of leaning in. As I tried to scream my boyfriend's name and shake myself awake after what felt like 20 minutes but perhaps was just one or two, I finally gasped awake and was able to explain to my boyfriend why I had been slightly twitching in bed. He had no clue i was stuck in a prison right next to him.
I had my last straw with it and decided to Google if there were any nutritional deficiencies linked to this experience and turns out, CoQ10 was my answer and as soon as I took the supplements, I was completely free from my traumatic sleeps. ❤❤
I'm sorry for anyone experiencing this. Baily said it, you live through your own horror scene. It's wild how your brain tries to make sense of it. I once thought it was my boyfriend just laying on top of me casually and I was like get off me dude, i cant breathe😂
Its the most wonderful day of the week! The Queen Bailey Sarian has arrived to bless us with her presence and knowledge! As always you are a rockstar and stay true to you! Love you
❤️🐝🌻❤️
Love ya girlie! You always brighten my day and I've been going through a lot lately so please keep posting! You should do an episode on the battle between Nickola Tesla and Thomas Edison. There's a lot of drama and I would just LOVE to hear your version of it.
I know this is late for this episode airing but, I am a busy women, I love you so much Bailey! Keep up the amazingly entertaining work you and your team put in to your videos. Love you!
LOVED IT!! I think we need more alien content. Especially the mass reports of sightings in Muncie, IN that brought about a Spielberg movie 👽👽👽
One particular instance of sleep paralysis that really stuck with me was an episode where I envisioned my entire bedframe being slid and shifted at a freakishly fast pace to every corner of the room, & when I woke from the bed was inches away from the wall that its usually propped against.. Needless to say, I'm still spooked.
Earthquake?
That sounds terrifying
Love it when Bailey releases Halloween specials; it is so fun and refreshing💫💯
Bailey most of mine are the same way. It's always a rush to wake yourself up. Absolutely terrifying and although it happens like 2 times a year it's something you never forget
Bailey is by far the cutest human I’ve ever seen. She’s hilarious!
I knew about La Llorona from watching the Grimm TV series! And an animated series with Bailey, Joan & Paul would be amazing! She could go on Dark History adventures through a time machine 😁
I’m here for the animated series!!! Brilliant idea!
The child in the Kleenex commercial was supposed to be a baby Oni- "Oni, in Japanese folklore, is a type of demonic creature often of giant size, great strength, and fearful appearance." Which does add to the spookiness of the commercial. I'd have assumed it was a commercial made specifically for spooky season, but the ad aired in the 1980's and it was March. Japan has Halloween on Oct. 31st too, they just don't do trick or treating.
Great video, Bailey! I have sleep paralysis and sometimes I feel a presence but have never seen anything, thank goodness. But it's super weird. I can only fully wake up if I let myself go back to sleep. It's so weird.
“If she mentions a pickle jar… RUN okay?” 😂😂😂😂
I love how much giggling this one has. Strong PJ party vibes 😊❤
Ur humor heals my sadness all the time and I thank you for that
Hi Bailey, you have literally been my fav RUclipsr for years. thank you for all that you do in the true crime / history world. Love you 🤍
Absolutely huge fan Bailey! Super happy to have you back! Your awesomely amazing and bring so much humor to dark moments in the best way and you really help get the story across that we didn't know the facts for, I truly appreciate you and everything you and your team does! Thank you!!❤❤
i love listening to dark history while i work it makes my day better when dealing with people it’s like your in the car with me telling stories
Throughly enjoy your episodes and so glad to see someone who loves to tell truthful stories to educate others ❤️watching you a full year now and you never disappoint
Okay...this is legit creepy! I am reading a novel with my class right now called Charlie Hernandez and the League of Shadows and it is about Latin American myths. I had never heard of La Llarona before, but she was the character we read about today!!!! Then I come home and put this on and you are talking about it! I am kinda spooked. Not even gonna lie.
Bailey, your last two episodes have hit home pretty well, I have night terrors which are considered a parasomnia. Super rare in adults. Only 1% of the adult population suffers with it and I've had it my whole life. I've hurt my husband, myself and a few walls. The nightmares stick with me for days sometimes, so even though you don't die, sometimes it feels like you really did
Can you tell me more about your nightmares?I also have some bad ones and sometimes im affraid to go out its seems to real to me
@@lela8081 yeah it's hard to know sometimes when I do finally pull my self out of sleep if it was real or not. Waking up is definitely the hardest part for me physically. I have to fight to stay awake and it's hard
Is the audio off for anyone else? Not sure if it's only me
Its zoom-call quality for me 😭
I thought it sounded off last week too 😢
Yes, something is wrong for sure.
Literally looking for this comment to make sure it wasn't my speaker 😂
Happens to me sometimes. So I come out and then go back in again. Usually works
WHY DOES BAILEYS ALIEN THEORY MAKE SO MUCH SENSE
Apart from the fact that we tend to be getting fatter.
Also, what's with the nakedness?
Otherwise, I'm all in.💖
I love the alien story, I started laughing when you said Betty and Barney I was waiting for you to say Rubble 😂😂😂, then you went to the Purple dinosaur...🤣🤣🤣 I'm horrible
Amazing video Bailey♥️♥️♥️
Guys I’m actually curious how many of us had sleeping paralysis at least once?
I did….
Same
I have--and it was a truly terrifying experience.
I get them too often. I wake up with my heart pounding or feeling like I had been screaming during the episodes. Being stressed can bring them on
I did once, I was little.
I've been experiencing it for the last couple years & it's a terrifying experience. 1 thing that helps is not sleeping on your back. I read about that tip & it's definitely reduced the occurrences. But I can say if I accidentally fall asleep on my back I experience it almost every time.
Bailey is single-handedly the funniest person on the internet 🤣🤣🤣
ITS Friday the 13th here already and it's after midnight THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED ❤❤❤
OK so I just discovered your channel & .GIRLLLLLLL where have you been all my life I AM OBSESSED ! XO XO
Ur laugh makes me so happy ☺️
One of the best things watching these is Bailey's giggle at her own jokes. Honestly I can't help smiling with her. XD
I love listening/watching her shows while... (Under the influence 😜💨💨) and chill.. this episode has me rollin 🤣🤣🤣🤣 her vibe and energy is everything in the shows! Love ya Bailey 😘💗
Pass it through 😉😂🤣
Same here my friend, enjoy both 😶🌫️😅
It's BaileyO'ween time!! 👸🏻👻🎃🍁🍂🍃🎉
Yep. Sleep paralysis is super scary. I've had a few times due to meds. Similar to your story. No demon, but looming threat, and unable to move and react. Thanks for sharing your story
BAILEY! I’m Hmong & long-time listener/follower. I had no idea you would cover the sleep paralysis among my people! It’s a serious spiritual thing. Sleep paralysis takes advantage of the spiritually-vulnerable multiple times or anyone who is gifted with spirit guides where they eventually need to choose whether or not they want to pursue a shamanic journey. My only case of this was when I was super young and was sick at the time. It manifested in large piles of blankets being thrown onto me. It was terrifying.
Bailey I’m so excited to watch this! It makes my spooky szn so much better! Thanks for always making me laugh and continuing to invoke a sense of interest and suspense 🎃💕.
I can listen to Bailey tell me stories all day. Lol. I've subscribed to your channel since 2017! 🎉🎉🎉
I've had sleep paralysis a few times and it's HORRIBLE. I've felt something in my room and watching me but I've seen anything.
21:00 New Hampshire native here!!! There's also rumor the night that Betty and her hubby went missing, the (now abandoned) radar base on top of a mountain in Vermont had reported activity over the same area that they were abducted, the same night.
So weird Bailey made this video a day after I had another sleep paralysis episode and literally saw demons.Also love the way Bailey’s having fun during this spooky season
Think of blessing yourself. I had it bad for 20 yrs . N this works till u can get over the fear..
I love love love dark history and how Bailey tells stories and true crime cases ❤❤❤
I suffer from sleep paralysis it’s so terrible feeling and sticks with me the whole day. I can’t even talk about what last week’s was like. It was horrific
I can help you.
I watch all of your videos but this one I was cracking up so much!! You're fkn hilarious ❤😂 love your humor in all your videos. "what r you Joan? Psychotic?" and the guy still finishing when seeing her face 💀💀😂
I’ve been avoiding this video for a while for fear of getting freaked out by ghost stories. But you told it in such a funny way. I was dying through the whole video😭😭😭
Ahh, to hear Bailey say "I started by looking this up... And here we are" 😂 I do this regularly, and need to stop 😅
Thank your for talking about nightmares. I do get more nightmares than I would like 😕. Maybe is from binge watching things like this😂.
Love you Bailey
I laughed so much... One of my favorite episodes so far. Thank you Bailey ❤️🖤
I don't know how you did it but this was like a FaceTime call. This was my favourite episode so far.
This episode reminds me of the book series from middle school that gave me nightmares for all eternity lol “Scary Stories to Read in the Dark”
I LOVE IT ALL SO MUCH!
Love the tin hat! No one could wear it better than Bailey 😂❤
