Succubus visits run from the days of a future pope and his secret lover, Meridiana, to a Bakersfield, California, bedroom recently, where a young man says something held him down and laughed at him. What are sex demons? And could your girlfriend be one? EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SexDemons READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bdzak2yv FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Succubi are female-appearing sexual demons that approach men in a variety of ways, usually while they are sleeping, then seduce them. Often men report that their experiences with succubi are positive and enjoyable, but just as often, they report that the pleasure had a thread of something evil running through it… and that thread leads to utter destruction. (The Deadly Allure of the Succubus) *** And the woman you are living with right now – your own wife or girlfriend – is it possible she is a succubus? We’ll look a bit deeper into the signs of a succubus so you can be aware and on alert! (Is My Girlfriend a Sex Demon?) *** In recent years, stories of personal encounters with shadow people have flooded the Internet. So much so, that a subcategory of Reddit was created solely for those who have experienced a shadow person and wish to share their story. We’ll share some of those reports. (Real Life Encounters With Shadow People) *** Many towns have tales of an old woman who might be a witch of some kind. Warrington, England had its own local, evil crone. She was known as Old Peggy Gronach and was described as being “evil, ugly and haggard.” But was she truly a witch? Many people thought so!
