Compilation of Strange | Episode 104

Here we go, Compilation of Strange Vol.5, and wow do we got an episode for you dear Listener. From the real-life dream demons that inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, to hidden underground worlds discarded by mainstream historical narratives. We explore a possible Information Hazard that only can cause you harm if you know about it in the dangerous thought experiment called "Roko's Basilisk." Then we end it with the legend of the notorious Bye Bye Man, who is a supernatural serial killer who stalks people who think about him or say his name. Buckle up because it's time to get weird.
