Hello and welcome to MYX In The Dark! This is a place where you can listen to TRUE scary stories.

Storytelling has always been a big thing in both the Hmong culture and my family - my personal favorites are the scary ones! A majority of these stories are from the Hmong community and told in English. It is my hope that these stories are also shared with others who may not be Hmong or may not understand Hmong. Because these stories allude to Hmong superstitions and/or the spirit realm, some the podcast episodes are educational and may give cultural background for context.

I would love to hear from YOU as well! I welcome stories from different cultures and ethnicities of people. Feel free to reach out to me through Facebook, YouTube, or email!

MYX In The Dark is also available on Spotify & Apple Podcast.

Enjoy!

🎤Listen at your own risk! 😬👻Lol! Tell me why I had THE MOST problems trying to upload this on time?! Not only did I record things in the background, as I was listening, some parts sounded distorted so I had to also re-record. I redid the whole intro because there were sudden volume differences. And none of these issues were there the day I recorded, which was well over a month ago. Sorry if bits and pieces sound not all put together. 😭

Protesters stand on the front lines of progress. They are our biggest allies. Marches and collective action are how rights have been won and how change will continue to happen in the United States. I hope you all get out there this Friday, January 23rd for “ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth & Freedom.”

🎒📚 BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY! 🎉
(Keep reading… if you’re not scared of Labubu dolls 😈)

I’m not a wild collector or anything, but I do like those quirky little Labubu dolls for my son. Somewhere along the way, I ended up with a few duplicates. 😅

Sure, I could sell them… but honestly? I’d much rather give them to some awesome kids who love Labubu and deserve the real deal — straight from Pop Mart! 💯

With school starting up again soon, I figured — why not spread a little joy and weirdness before summer ends?

So... I’m giving away TWO “Big Into Energy” Labubu dolls to TWO young listeners of the MYX In The Dark Podcast! 💥💥

IMPORTANT STUFF (aka Read this or risk heartbreak later 😆):
✅ Giveaway is for the KIDS, not you grown-ups. (Sorry, Labubu-loving adults! 😜)
✅ Must be 17 or younger
✅ Must be a MYX In The Dark listener
✅ A parent must enter on behalf of the child
📦 U.S. shipping only
📅 Drawing happens Wednesday, 8/20/25 at 7PM CST
💻 No live streaming because we are working with kids — winners will be notified directly!

👉TO ENTER: Send me a 30-45 second video of your child sharing which episode they found the scariest — and why!

Some info about the Labubu Dolls - and yes, I wrote this out and then asked my new friend, CHAT GPT, to make it sound better. 🤣

There are rumors out there connecting the Labubu dolls to demons. Viral posts and TikToks began claiming that Labubu dolls resemble Pazuzu, the ancient Mesopotamian wind demon made infamous by The Exorcist. Features like wide grins, pointy teeth, and big eyes sparked comparisons.

Experts and fact-checkers have confirmed there's no factual basis for this demon connection. Journalists and analysts point out that the resemblance is superficial and coincidental, and the theories are grounded in visual speculation and online hype, not real historical links.

Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born artist who grew up in Europe. He was inspired by Nordic folklore, elves, and fairytales—the kind of magical creatures you’d imagine living deep in the forest. He started drawing these characters as a kid with just a pen and paper, and over time, Labubu became one of his most iconic creations.

So yes, Labubu’s "ugly-cute" design pushes it into the uncanny valley, making some viewers uneasy, but there are no real evidence that prove its demonic powers.
