Trickster Entities & Spirits

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of trickster entities and spirits throughout history and their impact on human fear and confusion.

Throughout history, from ancient times onward, different cultures around the world described trickster entities that thrived on the fear and confusion they brought to humans. The Ancient Greeks documented daimones, beings that were watchers of mankind - they weren’t purely evil or purely good. Still, they were powerful. Different Native American and First Nation tribes share stories of trickster spirits whose purpose was to teach lessons, and in the modern world, parapsychologists describe entities that feed off the fear of humans. Whether you want to call them demons, tricksters or spirits, the question arises - what exactly are these entities, and why do they feed off causing confusion and fear? In this episode, M recounts true stories of people who believe they encountered these entities.
