An old hotel. A creepy little girl. An imaginary friend who may not be imaginary at all.
In this episode of WHAT IN THE HELL IS SUPERNATURAL?, we're talking about Supernatural Season 2, Episode 11 — “Playthings,” where Sam and Dean investigate a series of bizarre accidents at an old Connecticut inn that is practically screaming, “THERE IS A GHOST HERE.”
Only this time, the supernatural threat may not be exactly what it appears to be.
We break down the haunted hotel, Tyler's extremely suspicious imaginary friend Maggie, the increasingly dangerous “accidents,” Sam's emotional spiral, Dean trying desperately to hold everything together, and one of the stranger supernatural cases of Season 2.
And then there's the question we really need to discuss:
Would everybody involved have actually been better off if Sam and Dean had simply never shown up?
Because this may be one of those rare Supernatural episodes where the Winchester brothers arrive, investigate, uncover the horrifying truth…
…and somehow make everything MUCH more complicated.
We'll also get into the real-world folklore surrounding dangerous imaginary friends, protective spirits, and the surprisingly ancient idea that the invisible companion talking to a child might be something other than make-believe.
WARNING: This discussion contains spoilers for “Playthings” and potentially other episodes of Supernatural.

And if your kid suddenly introduces you to an imaginary friend who knows things they absolutely should not know…
maybe don't immediately renovate the haunted hotel.
