What if the stranger sitting next to you wasn’t human at all –
but something far older, hiding in plain sight?





In this Sleepy Time Mystery episode, we dive into ancient
Sumerian mythology and uncover 9 beings said to disguise
themselves as humans. From the shapeless night demon Alû and the
storm-bringing Pazuzu, to the seductive Lilitu, the
plague-bearing Namtar, the terrifying Gallu and Utukku spirits,
the disease demon Asakku, and finally the mysterious Anunnaki and
Apkallu who walked among mortals.





Ranked by how long they’ve been here, these entities reveal a
hidden timeline of supernatural visitors woven into the earliest
human stories. If you’re into ancient gods, demons, occult lore,
or just love chilling mythology before sleep, this video will
keep you hooked.





Settle in, dim the lights, and let us guide you through the
beings who may have been walking beside humanity since the
beginning.
