About this episode

In the coastal marshes of Georgia, the legend of the Boo Hag has kept children (and adults) awake for centuries. Unlike ghosts, Boo Hags are living entities that shed their skin to "ride" the breath out of their sleeping victims. Join us as we tell the story of a man who suspects his new bride is a creature of the night, and the desperate trap he sets to catch her skinless.
