Paranormal POC

Marisa & Siho

Meet Siho Ellsmore and Marisa Marquez, two happy Asian girls talking about spooky sh!t. Writers, actors, but more importantly, best friends who have casually talked about things that go bump in the night, squatch in the woods, and abduct in the desert. After years of telling each other these creepypasta stories privately, they thought it was time that everyone else get in on these goosebumps. As women from the Asian diaspora they deep dive into the often untold paranormal stories of people of color (POC) from around the world.

    Ep. 16 PARANORMAL HOTSPOTS: Not the Lady Triangle

    There are just some places in the world with a lot of unexplainable and paranormal sh!t going on. Marisa heads to her backyard to cover the strange happenings of the Great Pacific Northwest. From Native American wisdom about the power of this highly spiritual mountainous region to indigenous people suffering at the hands of usurpers, we honor their stories and the injustice they endured that has marked this land. For a bit more levity, Siho takes us over to the Pacific Ocean to see all the mysterious things going on Devil's Triangle also known as the Dragon's Triangle (you know it's Asian 'cuz they put the word Dragon in it).
