272 | Bad Trips: Real Ayahuasca Nightmares That Left People Questioning Their Sanity

·1 hr 1 min·2 clips

She was alone in a ceremony when something with a patient, sinister voice finally got the access it wanted.

First-hand account of catastrophic ayahuasca ceremony in Peru. Woman describes entity encounter 20 minutes into ceremony—sensations of 4-5 spirits hijacking her experience with explicit malevolence. Hours of deafening music, clown-torture visions, physical paralysis, suffocation fears. Shaman dismisses concerns. Aftermath includes sleep disruption, existential trauma, and persistent questions about whether near-death was real or imagined. Hosts use narrative to critique shamanic tourism, power imbalances, and psychedelic harm.
