Spring be springing’ as it's wont to do, so the ladies of the Nightmare Cottage wax a little more cottagecore than usual as they gush about their gardens.
Afterwards, Nym brings us a deep dive into the interesting world of predormital paralysis… postdormital? Or wait, was it REM sleep atonia? Ugh. These other names for sleep paralysis are a total nightmare to remember.
Whatever. Nylene follows that up with a bit of history on one of the rare (relatively speaking) English serial killers, John George Haigh… the Acid Bath Killer.
