IN THIS EPISODE: Most people had imaginary friends when they were younger. These "friends" were usually nice, funny, and even comforting. They took the form of animals, other humans, and sometimes larger-than-life characters that defy classification. And sometimes they were extremely creepy and downright scary, especially when examined in hindsight.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Imaginary Friends 01: http://ow.ly/olpf30nQLkPImaginary Friends 02: http://ow.ly/obdb30nQLl8Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
