*WARNING: The ghosts got to us again (for real) this week, so the audio is subpar. It’ll be back to normal once Emma sages the entire Pod Nook*

This creature is absolutely terrifying, but is it based on a sleep paralysis phenomenon that affects people across the globe? Is Shannon the Babadook? We might never know, but we do know that there has to be a ghost working with Shannon this episode. And it's apparently living in Emma's house. So come join the Babadiscourse!
