Question: Kevin’s Response: Hey Hue, thanks for the question. What people hear during an episode of sleep paralysis varies completely, from nothing at all, to buzzing sounds, to nightmarish scenes that unfold as part of the hypnapompic hallucinations that can often accompany sleep paralysis.
Here’s an example of a what I mean by a hypnopompic hallucination. This one involves an individual in the midst of a sleep paralysis episode hearing a witch threatening him or her with death.Here’s another, more detailed example of a woman describing a terrifying sleep paralysis hallucination where she was actually able to hear the thoughts of a horrible dark demon that appeared to her in her episode.These are extreme examples of course, and like I said earlier sleep paralysis does not necessarily have to involve any noises being heard, but there certainly are some pretty fascinating experiences out there.Read more stories about sleep paralysis submitted by visitors to this site.

Tonight I heard a rolling gun battle before someone appeared in my room. Scary! When I was a kid… I used to hear very loud footsteps and that’s how I knew something was coming towards my bed. I would then hide under my covers and wait for the “thing” to arrive.I am so thankful to have pets. This way I know for sure the noises are made up in my head. Each time I finally wake up from my paralysis, my pets are sound asleep.
I had my first one last night, it was really stormy here and i was fearful that the roof would come off.. Anyway, i started my usual prayers in my head to god, and as the winds were getting strong i kept saying fear has no hold over me, So i peacefully drifted off to sleep.
I dont know what time it was, but i opened my eyes and i couldnt move, i couldnt talk i tried to make a noise and i sounded like someone gargling..
Next i felt this weight pushing down on my arms i couldnt move, then in my ear i heard, “you are not to know these things”, well, these things that it mentioned i can only assume it ment by my prayers that fear has no hold over me..
I just hope i dont have another one, it is a scary thing to happen.
It happens quite often for me. This time really put me over the edge though. Usually I don’t ever hear anything. One time I seen some creepy children on a playground. It was a whole scene in my room. Another time I seen a little “demon” girl in my room. Usually I say a little prayer in my head when it happens. I feel like it helps me stay calm. This time however I said it and I heard evil laughing in my ear. I scared me to death. I’ve never heard anything during my experiences so it really scared me.
Just thought I’d share my experience I just had. Lid down about quarter to 6, trying to sleep and I do meditative breathing.. Instantly after that I star hearing children laughing and playing. It sounded so real that I was gonna get up and close the window… But of course, I’m paralyzed haha. Well I always stay through the whole thing lately and try my best not to fight it because I know it’s only a figment of your mind..plus at the end of it if you time everything right and practice lucid dreaming you can enter a pretty awesome lucid dream hahah. Well I heard children laughing, playing, a lot of them. Sounded kind of like a playground. And started hearing a buzzing noise after a bit. Mind started to play and I was remembering my scary SP in the past, so I heard a short evil laugh. Then I calmed myself down a bit, children continued. My foot feels like it distorts and twists around then I wake, and try to enter a lucid but I moved too quick haha.
PS: woke up right on 6. And the buzzing noise I’m guessing was the fan by my bed hahah.
One night I was indulging myself with an old fairy tale my parents used to read when I was a kid. When some time has passed I realized that I fell asleep I opened my eyes halfway and tried to reach the book that lay beside me but I couldnt. Every part of my body was still i tried screaming but the only screams where coming out of my head, then the laughter started a repetitive laugh that sounded like a little girls the chilling laughter just kept getting louder and louder……the next thing i knew was that I woke up at 6 in morning sweat dripping down my face.
I have had many of thesr expirences as a kid/teen, has seemed to slow down in the 20s. They always seemed the same, couldnt move at all, felt as though my eyes were open but could only see a blinding gold everywhere. I remember always freaking out and trying to struggle. But my last experience I started out struggling but was stopped in my tracks, I heard a voice. It seemed like a young boy’s voice. The voice had said, dont be afraid, I’m not a demon. And I always wondered why, I never thought of demons or what they where. I always wonder what that voice ment, and why it said what it had…
Don’t eat too much in dinner time or too late or before you sleep.
Ex: If you sleep at 10 pm, have dinner at 6 or 7 pm, light dinner.
Don’t sleep less than 4 hours or over 10 hours a day.
Do walking at least 20 minutes a day.
During your sleep, if it ( bomb exploding, hear voice in your head,..) happen, straighthen your leg, feet, so your blood can run in your body.
When you wake up, stand up, turn your body left and right.
To solve these problem, just eat more veggi, less red meat( lean meat), no fat meat + do walking + do not eat too full and too late + drink water.
Hi there. I have read all your experiences and what you all are experiencing are definitely demonic influences. The ONLY way to get rid of these experiences is through the Blood of Jesus. Repent of your sins and be born again of His Spirit and then they have no legal authority to torment you anymore. God bless all of you!
I just had sp today at about 6 in the afternoon during an afternoon nap (which I rarely ever do) I was sleeping on my couch and I woke up and I was totally immobilized. I tried my absolute hardest to move my fingers and yell but nothing worked… I then heard this evil laughter to the right side of me and it wa kind of nerve wracking but I knew tht it wasn’t real so I just embraced the feeling… Give me your guy suggestions and if you think any of the noises and or hallucinations that people experiences are demonic.
— Everything is possible to Lord and to all of you who believe — Jesus saved and healed me from drugs — Among other wonders,you are wonderful miracle of Lord,if you did not see beautiful precious miracles of Jesus,go to the mirror — May the Lord bless you and keep you;May the Lord smile down on you and show you his kindness;May the Lord answer your prayers and give you peace — Glory to Lord Jesus —
This morning in the early hours. I awoke to the sound of my ex partner’s voice who was extremely abusive towards me and someone else. Outside my bedroom window, he was cursing me and threatening me. Nothing unusual there. However this time I lay frozen in bed, unable to move, scared and anxious that I couldn’t move. Although this seems like a normal response, it isn’t for me. I usually (in the past) get up and look out the window and call the Police to remove him from my property, with very little difficulty or upset. I couldn’t understand the fear factor. So I’ve come to the conclusion I must have dreamt it. There was no visual, only voices.
I actually hope he was outside being a pain, because the ambiguity of this morning’s events have left me slightly shook.
I understand it can be bad to experience this I have once to
Hear scary voies shuold I get help or not?
I fell asleep after watching a drama at 1.20am. I dreamt of a long stream of car accidents. I went down wanting to help and approached an ambulance. In that instance everything went black. I heard loud noises of people talking as if I was at a market place and it was distressing. I couldn’t move couldn’t talk. I pinched my mom next to me. Then I finally woke up. I woke up my mom n told her I called out for her, did she hear it and did she felt the pinch I gave her as a distress call and she said no. I turn to my phone and it was 1.47am.
The whole episode lasted 27 mins.
In that short moment of time, I experienced inception and sleep paralysis and noises I still couldn’t explain why I would hear it..
i heard whispers. they seem to be more than two and i cant understand a word theyre saying. one voice though is very disturbing, it is so deep and low in pitch. scared the hell out of me
it is my first time to have sleeping paralysis i was awake i really believe i was awake i can’t talk or move all i can hear was the voices calling my name repetitive those voices sounded like a man and lady speaking together my name i did not know what time is it when suddenly i heard a voice of a man saying”wake up don’t be afraid”.-Thanks God i woke up
I was in my bed with trying to sleep with my girl and all I can remember is as if I was awake that I heard a Baby crying in the doorway and I asked my girl what it was and she told me she always asks it nicely to stop and it kept Goin and all i can remember is not wanting to be so close to the edge of the bed and was really clingy to her..the noises than turned evil and loud and there was a closet in the room which was never there and I just realized this when I actually woke up that there wasn’t but there was a closet with a white TV where the noises where coming from and the TV kept turning on with no power connected to it. What does this mean?
Ha, I remember when I was a kid I woke up in complete darkness one morning … I was immediately overtaken by intense fear and confusion. I thought to myself ” omg am I dead?!?”. Next thing I hear is a deep roaring laugh that of course sounded evil. Lol turns out I was in sleep paralysis, so as soon as my motor skills returned I found out my blanket was covering my face the entire time. Haha my fear instantly turned into relief.
This happened last night. I was reading divergent and I was really tired (10-11 in the night) I have had a sleepover which we pulled an all nighter the night before so I was pretty tired, i opened a new page and I hear a witch cackling. It felt so real and my stomach tightened and my temperature rose. I have looked online to see what it was and found this. Pretty glad it was in my head
Woke up at 2am after sleeping for 30 mins.
Closed my eyes as usual to fall asleep and meditate on nothing, but my brain was too active.
I thought of a fear of the darkness and an explosion of loud noises entered my head. It was very terrifying and I couldn’t escape for what I believed was 2 minutes.
I just had a SP I think I’ve only have this happen once before when I was like 15 and it scared the hell out of me and I just thought it was just a horrible thing but them I had this happen to me this morning at 4:10 am and I couldn’t move talk and I heard voices. I heard a teenager or an adult saying mom, mom mom …. Over and over and but in a creepy vocie and then I could see my room and everything was shaking in my room and I saw like lighting … But the worst part was that another vocie said your mine in a evil vocie that scared me the most !! I had no clue SP was really something but I looked it up after what happen to me and here I am sharing my story of terror :/
It happened to me for the first time today, I was falling asleep around 12:00am when I had a sudden feeling someone was in my room then I tried opening my eyes but couldn’t I wanted to swing my arm and take of my blanket and look around but couldn’t move at all I saw terrifying looking things and a pair of eyes that were horrible, I herd skateboards and a train then foot steps, I herd multiple voices that scared me the most, I dont remember what I herd exactly but I do remember a louder voice telling me to keep my hands over my head…im absolutely terrified and dont think im gonna sleep tonight.
It happened to me last night for the first time.
My eyes shot open and I tried to move but couldn’t. I knew it was sleep paralysis because my friends have experienced it before, so I wasn’t very freaked out by it, so I attempted to just close my eyes and go back to sleep. Bad idea… As soon as I shut my eyes I heard many noises. Sounded like I was sitting in a cafeteria with many people talking but I couldn’t make out what anybody was saying. The noises are what frightened me. Finally after about 30 seconds I could move, but those second felt like forever.
I experienced sleep paralysis once when I was a teenager, and once again last night, this time with a voice. I woke up to hear over my boyfriend’s snoring, to my left, a man’s voice say “Don’t you hate it how in (state I was in) …. ” and it trailed off.I woke up and thought to myself “Who the fuck is that? Why is there someone in the bed with us?” I couldn’t move, breathe, move my eyes or make a sound. I tried reaching over to my boyfriend for help, but my arms didn’t move. Tried to cry out, but no sound came. Felt like I was being squeezed. I was panicked, but not afraid. I eventually was released. It didn’t feel evil, it felt like a coincidental overlapping of realms. Like there was a man in the room who was having a normal conversation with somebody, and I just heard part of it. Maybe he was sitting on me and didn’t know it.
I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time very early this morning, perhaps at 5 am. I had been sleeping lightly on and off since 10 pm. (10-10:30, 11-11:30, 2-3:30, 4:30-?) I remember beginning to fall asleep, deep in thought about my life, I was thinking of quitting smoking hookah because I had been concentrating on my breath, and wondered if they were dirty and damaged by the free radicals in shipshape tobacco… I remember thinking that it would be so sad to have a pair of lungs that couldn’t function their best because of stupid social commodity hookah.
A bit after that I woke up, or felt conscious of myself… I became aware that I was aware followed by a short lived but exponential volume of loud brass instruments that seemed to be blowing in my face. Along with this I could feel where my limbs supposedly were, I could feel the energy in my body, but I couldn’t move. I felt a strong pressure over my entire body, almost holding me down… I fought this feeling, it felt as though I was trying to walk against the strongest wind or tide… Nearly impossible, I persitently struggled for control over my body. Then suddenly I woke up and was able to move. It felt almost like a dream, but very very real. It was terrifying.
Last night, at about midnight, I woke up and felt that I was awake but my eyes were closed. I felt like I was being pulled into the darkness, I couldn’t move and I heard a loud buzzing noise. I decided to let it happen but the buzzing got louder and I saw a flashing image of a man/boy sitting at a table. Then, I forced myself awake, sweating.
Last night I woke up MULTIPLE times in a sleep paralysis. They usually last a few seconds each time for me and occur over and over on the nights they occur.
Usually I hear crying babies in my ear, and it sounds very real. Voices that I interpret as radio voices is another common one for me. Last night it was the radio voices. I can never make out what they are saying because I’m terrified. I have never had any visual hallucinations thoug, only auditory.
Im Not ood at explaining but hear it is i had these expierence for quiet a while im only 16 young female
well i was awake and falling asleep at the same time i had my big dog next to me and then i started havin a scary dream but everything went dark and this big pinch noise was growin bigger like if something try to talk to me, i try holding on to my dog try to move my hand squeaze it but i couldn’t i try to scream talk move but all i had was myself so i try fightin it just got bigger and then i pray it went away for a while and ended with a huge big sound
it scary knowin that u cant move or nothin u only got urself and god
I am not sure if I have SP but I may have some mild form of what could occur later in my life. A few times in the past seven months I would wake up scared from a frightening dream, to only begin to hear (what it sounds like) intruders in my house. A few times I started to hear upstairs: entering, footsteps, chairs moving, and doors opening. Tonight I experienced what it seemed to be like intruders down on my level of the house. I don’t know if I may be experiencing slight SP (just hearing these things), but whatever it is, it’s getting closer. It makes me scared to sleep, and everytime I hear these things, it makes me want to jump out my window and escape.
Last night I fell asleep I normally open my window a little bit my bedroom gets super hot at night and its was between 3am and 6am I was between almost asleep but not completely then i start to hear gun shots i just thought to myself oh it’s just my mind playing tricks on me then they start to get louder but I just plugged my music and almost fell back asleep then my dad came threw to my room that he could her like explosions/gun nosies being the brave guy he is he slowly went down stairs and he turned on all of lights on inside the house he looked so it the window there was nothing there but it was coming from outside this went on until half eight in the moring
Does anyone know who it could of been or has this happens to you or anyone else ??ð¦
I was trying to fall asleep when it felt like a shadow washed over me. I started hearing these horrific static like sounds and then i started hearing a deep threatening voice. I tried to scream and managed to get a weird moaning noise out which my friends heard and when they started asking if i was alright the paralysis wore off.
I’m going on 30 and just now finding out about sleep paralysis. When I was about 11 I had turned my thermostat all the way up because my room was so frigid. I woke up boiling hot in the middle of the night, got out of bed, turned the thermostat down and opened my window. I laid back down and a couple of minutes later I was paralyzed, and felt like a 200 lb weight was on my chest. I remember trying to scream for my mom, but could not. I heard a horrible ghastly whisper in my ear that said “I will split your family”. I was so scared, I didn’t sleep in my room for a month. It happened a hand full of other times in my teen years, but never heard the voice again. I know it’s not as horifying as a lot of other stories in this, but it scared my shitless. Just glad to know I’m not the only one.
This just happens to me half an hour ago, both of my sisters have had it but I didn’t know how scary or real it could feel.
I was just laying down thinking, kind of stressing I didn’t even notice I was asleep but my vision was red, unsteady and flashy. I tried to move but my body was weak and shakey, like something was holding my arms down but I kept trying to fight it they would move a little but never enough just asif it was teasing me. I looked at the hallway that was when the red flashing light went away and the light in the hallway was on then I looked again and it was off and someone had just left a room, I looked back once more and there were the flashing lights in the hallway. I could move again and suddenly what I thought was my sister was running into my room under my bed grabbing earrings I then got finally, shut the lights and stood at my door my sister came up not looking like herself with chains in its hands and I woke up and screamed Shawnee!
This was the second most terrifying thing that has happened to me where something has distracted me with red flashing lights and disguised itself as my sister.
About exactly a month ago i had my first episode of actual sleep paralysis. I had a nightmare and when i woke up i heard a loud buzzing in my ear. Then like always i felt something come out of my left nostril and my ear pop. Then i started seeing visions and sounds of torment. This is when i realized that something was not right and i started praying and asking Jesus for forgiveness for my sins.
This morning i awoke from a dream that was not scary at all and seemed fairly normal. But in my dream i just kept talking and talking and repeating the same thing. I finally woke up and i felt something come out of my nose and my ear popped. Right after that i hear the door on my house open and close. I am not sure what happened but I feel like the demon didn’t get what it wanted and was mad when it left. I know prayer and Jesus is helping me with these attacks and this one was not nearly as heavy as other attacks and it kinda felt like i won this one.
Sleep paralysis IS a demonic attack and i have realized this has been ongoing for 10+ years. I am just now starting to fight it head on and i know with the Lord’s help i am winning.
I woke up this morning (5am to be precise) to the feeling of a ray of heatness as if it were scanning my body from head to toe which was sort of soothing, until a clicking/humming sound appeared from nowhere. I opened my eyes (which were the only part of my body which I could move) to find a pitch black symmetrical glob like creature just a few inches away from my face, I can’t really describe this creature it’s not like anything I’ve seen before.. That wretched sound kept playing on increasing sequences, and I started to sweat like a pig. The thing is I have had sleep paralysis before, and I even tried to make it happen by purpose in order to achieve astral projection. But never have I ever had an experience like this where there are both visual and vocal hallucinations. The question here is how can the human mind conjure such “hallucinations” if there not like anything a person had have witnessed throughout they’re life.
I just had my second sleep paralysis episode that I can recall (I’m in my 20’s – they started when I was ~21). I just bought a house and I live alone with no pets or anything – except some fish. I woke up around 4 in the morning and I couldn’t move, couldn’t do anything except control my eyes. I heard muffled talking and giggling through my closed bedroom door and it sounded like a little girl talking to someone else, although I only heard her. Many people experience a pressure on their chest but I never get that; I get a sense that something is present in the room but I never actually see anything thankfully. These experiences are some of the most unsettling things I have ever experienced and I am not religious or superstitious.
I’ve been suffering from sleep paralysis for about a year now (21 years old) and because it’s been happening so often (minimum of twice a week) I’ve learned how to think my way out of it. As I’m trying to wake up, if I feel the usual symptoms (i.e. Hallucinations, sickening sounds, someone coaxing me into doing sick things, a sense of pressure not only on my chest but throughout my body) I tell myself “this is a dream, and I will wake up” then I count backwards from 10, thinking over all the noises.
That used to work.
I’m writing this as I just woke up from an episode, and it was the longest episode I’ve ever had. I remember dreaming that I was in an alley, about to be hurt by some thugs, so in my head I told myself I wanted to wake up (I’ve always been very aware that I was asleep or dreaming) as I attempted to fully open my eyes, I felt a pressure surrounding my body. My thought process was “okay I’m about to have sleep paralysis, stay calm” but instead of the usual visions, I woke up.
I felt a great sense of relief until I realized, things were missing in my room. In fact, this was the room I had at my parents’ home, not my current one. As I pieced this together the sensation of pressure came back and a voice laughed saying that “I caught him and was clever, but I needed to close the door in order for him to explain why this keeps happening”.
I begun to panic because I wouldn’t wake up, the fact that I was aware that I was going through sleep paralysis wasn’t helping. I began to look towards the very door the thing asked me to close and wait it out, out of nowhere I truly woke up and everything was normal.
How do I get this to stop? I’m scared to go to bed.
Im 14 this was my first SP. I woke up at about 4:30am and i went on my phone and played some games for about 10-15 minutes. . After when i tried to sleep I forced my self to sleep by breath slowly and lieing by my side because that makes me sleep faster. Then i was dreaming a lucid dream and i was flying. and i flew higher and higher on purpose and then my dream was interrupted by signing of christian music. Then i couldnt control my dream anymore and i heard evil laughing and then i felt somthing go through me then everything went black and i woke up but i was in SP but i still heard the laughing i couldnt even move my eyes and i was scared. I tried to get up and i kept trying and trying then finaly while i was fighting i woke up and called my mom very loud and ran out my room and hugged her.
LIsten to me here and now sleep paralysis has happened tome over and over again throughout the years sometimes it happens when I’m in new places and there have been a lot of different times where I’ve seen figures every time it’s happened that I say a little prayer my head and I pop back awake but the thing is is that it’s something when you reach of the state of REM sleep that your mind lets out this awesome kinetic energy that basically opens door way for these things to come through its if you can search for it look up the movie called–((Shadow people)) !!look it up online there are many different aspects to this event and there a lot of I guess a alternate dimension people that actually in a small town far from here I don’t remember exactly where but day had a radio show host they made a movie of it so look it up but the radio show host had colors: and explain their experiences then they kept talking about it talking about it talking about it and then there are more more more people happen to have this happening and actually there were 36 that’s because of this sleep paralysis they call it sudden death syndrome or something this is itS a little bit longer than thatbut yes other F 36 people or I believe maybe a couple more that had died because of this event other was a doctor who experimented with this and connected 5 people to this this door that basically when they were finally put into the sleep that the door finally opened and there was a shadow person there and then the doors and swam close the next people who were a part of this had died. Look up the information and watch the movie so you can get a better understanding of what I’m talking about I usually see a lot of light I hear whispers creaking and things being screwed around with what I call upon God and my guardian angel and I am relieved. . If you have any other questions you can look me up on IG.. my son is what I posted as here. . Let’s talk I have more to say..
I had it happen again last night. I heard “God no” come from the right side of my bed..Thats it. I freaked for a minute until I realized what it was and then tried to go back into it, which I did!!!! Very different from Astroplane which I work on doing.
Today I took a nap for about 2 hours. When I began to wake, I couldn’t move but could hear things. 2 beings that I thought may be angels.. were walking behind me on the couch. I heard footsteps on the tile floor in the kitchen and on the carpet where I lay. They were whispering “What’s she doing?…What’s she doing?” they also whispered other things I couldn’t make out. This has happened to me before when my only son was 1 year old. I was napping in a room across from his. I woke, could see but could not move. I heard someone run through the house and stop behind me. My back was facing the door. A young boy’s voice said, “Hey mom, what ya doing? Oh, taking a nap.” Then I heard footsteps run back through the house toward the kitchen. I don’t know what this is all about, but I sure am curious. It makes my heart skip a beat.
I once had, and still do get sleep paralysis. I once felt and heard buzzing in my head, when I feel and hear that, that means uh oh, if I don’t move in a few seconds, I’m going to get sleep paralysis and I will hear voices. So that is what happened, I heard a voice, it sounded like an old priest, and he was singing, all he said was God is good, and then I saw an Angel, it was small, and it was rising up into the ceiling, I was then able to move, I was terrified, and I shook my head, and where I saw the Angel, it was actually the little blinking light on top of my ceiling.
I felt as if there were a presence but I’ve had it before so I told myself it wasn’t real and was more annoyed than scared that it kept happening. However I could hear people all around me talking, many voices in my ears, and I could hear a girl yelling for her mom
what ever was whispering didnt feel like they were touching me but it was by my side very close sounding like it was talking to someone else to not wake me up and telling it no not to wake me up. and when i tried to wake myself up and move it laughed and made fun of me along with the other one. and when i decided to wake up my husband (when i could but it was still diffucult to move) it said something along the lines “oh no shes waking up him”. the only reason i thought of waking myself up was because at first it seem like i was just lying in the dark calmly until i heard the whispering. and i had to wonder why wouldnt they want to wake me up. it worried me so i did what i could to get myself up fast
Just came across this and glad im not the only one who gets sleep paralysis frequently. I usually hear banging on the walls that get progressively louder as i come closer to waking and i try all my might to move but nothing. Last night was a bit different. I slept with my door open and right as i knew it was occurring i heard my door slam shut and banging on the door and walls. I know in many years past that it was believed a demon would be sitting on an individuals chest if they were experiencing sleep paralysis but i it can be both auditory and visual hallucination.
I had two in a row. First I tried my best to fall asleep. When I finally did I felt hot, but I couldn’t move. I also felt like a demon was trying to suck my soul out of my body, however I was fighting. I heard a loud noise the entire, that seems to get louder as I fought. It sounded like a airplane just taking off. I couldn’t see anything. I thought I was in hell. I soon after tried to move my toes and fingers, but it took a while before they reacted. When they finally moved my body seemed somewhat relieved and I got up. I looked around to no one there. I went to bed again thinking it was all just a horrible nightmare,but it happened again, but it was much harder to wake up and I thought I was being assaulted by a demon. Know I a little bit fearful of falling asleep and it occurring again.
Last year was the first time I experienced sleep paralysis and I was 15 at the time. It was the middle of the night and I woke up and my whole body began to feel like it was tingling. I tried to move but realized that I couldn’t. I then got this horrible feeling that I was not alone. It felt like there was a man stood right behind me. Then I could hear the sound of lots of children laughing and the way that they were laughing sounded evil. I also started to hallucinate and I could see my cousins bedroom which was strange because I wasn’t even at her house. But I could see a dark figure stood in her room and then I was back in my room again and the laughing stopped and I was able to move again. I had never felt fear like that in my life. It was the most terrifying thing to have ever of happened to me.
This is maybe spelled uncorrectly, but I’m not English so my English grammar is not something to be proud of.
But sometimes, when I just woke up, I hear sounds.
Example; On a holiday, I was sleeping and when I woke up: I heard a thousant (1000) birds flying and making sounds and stuff.
Stuff birds do.
This sounds realy realistic, but it doesn’t go away untill I’m REALY awake.
This happens to me alot,sometimes with the sound of a alarm clock, and sometimes with the sound of a dog barking, and I don’t know what it is.
No one in my familiy has this.
I’m 15 year old girl and have been experiencing SP since I was really young, although now I get it more than one time a night every night. just 2 days ago I had it twice. there was a constant loud sound that overtook me and I could feel hands around my throat with pressure all around my body, I tried fighting it but it did not let go of me for a long time. I don’t know but I always feel like its a evil presence over my bed and it’s so suffocating. the second episode of it was not long after that, and I get a weird feeling like I know it’s happening or about to. it sounded like a warped record player and it was the same creepy melody over and over and over. It always occurs when I can feel myself slipping into a sleep but than wake up and I know that I’m awake but am absolutely paralyzed- I never open my eyes bc I’m horrified of what I may see. (btw I’m a v depressed stressed and anxious person I don’t know if that could be the cause) ok anyways, last night was the first time I’ve ever heard a voice speaking to me in SP at like 2 in the morning. I don’t remember what he was saying but it sounded like an angry man with a deep southern accent that came from the air above me. i just remember that he directed questions at me, screaming. after he said HOW ABOUT YOU or something like that, there was no voice for like 2 minutes and I thought that the episode was finally ending although I still couldn’t move or speak. then out of nowhere he says I’m still here softly and it sounded so much closer to me like it was being whispered into my ear. it scared me sosososo much and so I tried to scream repeatedly but no success, and he just laughed boomingly at me. when it finally ended I refusesd to go back to sleep bc I’m so terrified of this. I’m just glad to know that I’m not the only one and that I’m not going insane 🙂
There’s not one night that i don’t have sleep paralysis. There’s time that i can’t breath while having it. I hear voices saying “You are going to die.” I hear voices laughing at me. I see this scary dark shadows. I see them staring at me. There’s time that i can actually feel them touch me. Also there’s time i get to open my eyes but i wont be able to move. I need and want to know why do i keep having these every time i go to sleep.
So a few weeks back I had taken a nap during the day for quite some time, later that night I had tried to go to sleep and in my dream something alarming was happening, I knew something bad was coming it was a warning. I’ve had it before but at that time it hadn’t happened for a while, anyway I couldn’t move and when I tried to my head hurt and my ears had so much pressure and it sounded like white noise super loudly. Today I took a nap for a hour and tonight I fell asleep for a good hour but kept waking up, I had dreamt of a friend who isn’t kind to herself and she was in my room and had made a weapon, I picked it up and then the paralysis happened I was kinda scared but I kept myself calm. It sounded like rock music was in my room. I can’t sleep now.
Im suggesting this out of personal experience.
As another commenter stated, diet is important along with hydration.
Adequate sleep is essential.
Ask your friends and famiky if you snore, gasp during sleep, etc. If so, go to your doctor and tell him or her. Sleep Apnea could exagerate these experiences. In this condition your brain does not receive sufficient oxygen.
So last night I don’t know if I was half asleep or just dreaming but I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and I heard a little girls laugh..it sounded pretty horrofying and evil but I thought my little sister had left her tablet in my room-in which sometimes she plays games with-so i didn’t think anything of it and went back sleep. I woke up this morning to find out that there is not tablet in my room..
I experienced a sleep paralysis attack recently for the first time in several years where I woke up completely unable to move with a sheet over my head, I opened my eyes and I was completely blinded by it and unable to see my surroundings. While I was blinded I heard this really creepy heavy breathing to the left side of me, it sounded like it was completely filled with lust and it certainly was not human. I immediately felt a feeling of fear while at the same time I was angry at the disgusting entity beside me. I was able to awake from the paralysis by moving my fingers and toes and I found out there was no sheet over my head which actually surprised me since it felt and sounded so real.
I am convinced that it was demonic, I left myself spiritually vulnerable because I was sinning lustfully without repentance and because I had not been connecting with the Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and through His word. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ.
So I’ve been having sleep paralysis experiences for awhile and of all the sounds I’ve heard, this bother’s me the most. So a few times during my attacks I’ve heard a mysterious man telling me “Shh…it’s ok, just relax.” And the weird part is at first I would instantly relax at the sound of this voice and I’d fall asleep. But then I started overthinking and I got the feeling that this isn’t good especially since I’ve had dreams of a mysterious man who makes me feel better and even my best friend had a dream of a mysterious man/monster following me. So lately when I hear the voice, I feak out instead of relaxing and that makes my attack last longer than it usually does. Now it’s even scarier…
When I was about 7 to 8 years old, I’ve experienced a series of bad dreams and sounds ever night. In my dream, there was always a black skinny figure which stood about 7 ft tall, who appears in my dreams every night. In my dreams the black figure would randomly suprise me with a huge force that pushes me away, it felt so realistic that it felt like I was in the dream. Awaken by the terror I would then experience deep evil laughs in my ears which gradually became higher until it faded away. I was scared but didn’t experience sleep paralysis. I told my dad about it and he told me to pray to God. Not knowing what to pray about I just asked for peace. From that day on I’ve never heard the laugh or have bad dreams again!.
Praise the Lord!
So I went to bed, my dad and I went to our own rooms and eventually I fell asleep. I’m not sure why, but I always lock my door kind of like a security blanket so no one can just open my door. Well as I was sleeping all of a sudden I heard my door loudly and quickly was a knocking noise, then the handle turned like someone was trying to open it but couldn’t because it was locked. Then knocked again until I got up and yelled “what do you want dad?!” Because we were the only ones here… Then it stopped and the I heard foot steps walk away. I opened the door. No one. I went into my dad’s room and he was a asleep. I historically told him what just happened. It was soooo vivid and I have never had such a realistic experience in my life. So you can imagine how shaken up I am right now.
I have been having visitors in my sleep for over 20 years. The first time it happened I saw a fiery red figure next to my bed and I couldn’t move. For a 10 year period I used alcohol to drink myself unconscious to stop the visions.
I drank so severely that I had to go to rehab and have been sober almost 10 years. I would often scream out the name Amy in my sleep which I know now is a demon. It has began appearing as a disfigured almost leprechaun looking demon with 1800’s style clothes.
I got married about 4 years ago and my wife just recently admitted that she could see spirits just like everyone else in her family. Without giving her any description she described the demon perfectly. She says that it whispers in my ear and tells me to do bad things that I always remember when I wake up.
I have prayed to God for the last 10 years for it to stop and have recently became a Christian.I repent for my sins nightly and discuss this spiritual battle with a christian counselor and men of my faith. The more I pray for it to go away the more angry it gets. It has started appearing now before I go to sleep and my dog barks at it and we can’t get any sleep.
I really don’t have much fight left in me. I have recently been diagnosed with parkinsons disease as a scientific explanation for my deteriorating mental state. I can’t take much more of this.
I have moved 12 times and it keeps following me.
In the summer of 2009 I had the worst experience ever. My mother was involved in a horrible car crash and I was miles away. It was a Sunday morning and I was watching a scary movie, my mom asked me to go to church but my teenage self refused. Next thing I remember was falling asleep and waking up not being able to move. I felt like someone was holding me down. I felt this weird presence that whispered “Mommy’s Here”. Then I saw across the hall people running in the adjacent room. Seconds later I woke up and looked at my phone and I have over 40 messages and missed calls saying my mother was JUST involved in an accident. Nothing has ever scared me more than that horrible day.
(Update: my mother is fine and well now.)
I’ve had sleep paralysis a handful of times as a teenager and one a few hours ago as I was taking a nap. The first time I’ve ever experienced an “out of body state” was when I was a child perhaps 6 years old. I was sleeping in a room with my cousins and mother. I dreamt (?) that I was flying over my cousins’ bodies and I saw myself sleeping as well.
I’ve had many sleep paralysis experiences that resulted in nothing but a buzzing sound and a “pulling feeling”.
The most memorable sleep paralysis experiences I’ve had was when I was about 18 years old, I was sleeping on my back facing up, taking a nap. I had the familiar sensation of a “tugging feeling” but this time was extremely intense. My heart would beat, I would start sweating heavily, the familiar ringing in my head. This time however, I had a full blown hallucination of a heavily wrinkled hand with long pointy fingernails seemingly reaching towards my face. The hand felt like the definition of evil. Why would my mind hallucinate something SO strongly? I had to will my mind to calm down but every single atom in me was alarmed and screaming for it to stop. I felt the fear for a good 15-30 mins afterward before I felt normal.
A couple of hours ago, I was taking a nap with my husband when I went into the familiar tugging, pulling sensation. I don’t know how else to describe this but loud laughing voices filled my head for a good 30 seconds. It’s hard to have a sense for time, but it felt like an hour. I’ve never heard voices laughing this clearly and this loud. My first auditory hallucination. Terrifying to say the least.
I experienced it last night.
I was facing the wall so I couldn’t see what was happening in my room but I could feel something in the bed with me. I could feel the warm pressure on my back. My body was also vibrating uncontrollably but I couldn’t voluntarily move a muscle. Impossibly loud screams started in my head. At first a man’s scream but it was soon joined by millions of screams. I eventually forced myself out of it.
I have done a lot of reading since this and everyone gets really scared by it. The funny thing is that I don’t remember being scared exactly, just shocked and confused. In fact, once I has woken up I was quite excited and hyper ð I felt great for a few hours.
I had experiences since about 13 years old on a monthly basis. Ive heard the extremely low pitched voice & evil laughing. Seen the evil black deep throaty growling black shadow cloak thing & way more(you can ask).
My mom has seen it & heard the same growl after sleeping in my room. People have seen them, heard them, seen children, get scratches, &hear their name whispered. Listen, why do we all “hallucinate” the same evil things? Sometimes not even sleeping but wide awake?
I was atheist- the very least considered higher order.I tried everything I could find to stop it & documented eating foods/times, sleep times, positions, stress, & record each episode, to try & find a pattern to stop it. Meditation, always positive, law of attraction, books, anything! Nothing worked.
I used to be on many of these forums desperately searching.
Ever since I turned to God everything stopped. God is legit, its real. Hear me out &try Jesus. I want to help others in my place, please hear me out & try.
Hi, it was last night that when I came back from a D of E practice hike which was around 31km in 2 days. I woke up at night in my bedroom (downstairs) hearing what sounded like someone shovelling gravel outside on the other side of the wall. At this point I noticed that I couldn’t move. My legs were in a n shape with the bottom of my feet faced onto the mattress and my arms were locked onto each other. I also heared fast footstep going along the corridor. At this point I was try to make out if my curtains and windows are shut in the dark, which they were. I could only move my neck and took a lot of effort to break apart my arms. After doing this I could move my whole body and all my muscles were working at once which made me sit up really quickly. I looked out the windows and saw nothing but this morning I checked and there was area of the drive way were the gravel had been moved so you can see the earth beneath. Thanks for reading I will be greatful for all help and opinions.
I started experiencing minor sleep paralysis maybe 6mos or so ago…. now over the last week, I have been having extreme sleep paralysis and messages and visions appear to me. My husband believes full-heartedly that it is demonic possession because of what I hear from them. It starts the same way… pressure (paralysis) and white noise that gets louder and louder… then so loud to where my head starts twitching. Some nights they will whisper into my ear and I purposely ignore it. I am able to fight out of it but one night I decided to push through thinking it would be over soon and it would leave me alone so I could sleep. I was wrong. The first night, they showed a knife in my bed for me to grab and stab my husband. I heard a little girl laughing and some loud buzzing and I pulled myself out. I woke to tell my husband and he had an episode of sleep paralysis at the very same time I did.
Two nights later, I pushed through again to see what it wanted and it showed a letter on the bathroom counter telling my husband as soon as the force got stronger/more control, it would attack him. So this demon is threatening my husband through me. I’m afraid to sleep.
I have just woken up from SP fior the second time tonight, the first time I was woken up by a voices in my ears saying “her, her her, her, her” over and over and tI just couldn’t move at all to see what it was.
The second time (just now) was scarier, as I could hear brass instruments playing, would hear a voice whisper in my ear talking to me about and baby and then my blankets felt like they were tightening around me and then I had the sensation like I was being dragged off the bed into darkness.
I’m way to scared to go back to sleep now!
when i went bak to sleep at around 6 am this morning i traid to wake up but my eyes were fightn wt me dey did nt want to open fully and i couldnt move i could only move my toes as i tryd to break out of it a very very loud annoying sound started in my head very loud screaming sound i tout my head will open up den.. den it stopped slowly and here i am.
I fell asleep last night and then I woke up at 3 in the morning as I could see my clock across from my bed an I couldn’t move, all I heard was this static noise and it wouldn’t go away, I tried to close my eyes but then it felt like there was this huge weight being put on me and all I heard was a small soft laughing but it was mixed in with the static noise, about an hour later of hearing this I was finally able to move and yeah
I never would have imagined this many people experience this waking sleep/sleep paralysis phenomenon. I can’t remember the first time it happened to me, but it has happened to me a lot over the past 5 years or so. Scares me every time.
Thankfully, I haven’t experienced (knock on wood) the feeling of the presence of evil or a demon sitting on my chest. Mine are usually pretty realistic scenarios. For instance, this morning, I “woke up,” unable to move or focus on anything, like I was still groggy from sleep. But I dreamed that my husband had come home early from work with breakfast, and set it on the bed. I could hear his footsteps as he walked through our house and into our bedroom. But I must have been dreaming because, later, I discovered that this had not happened.
Then, I fell back to sleep, only to “wake up” again, unable to move. But I heard my mom and my sister talking to me from the living room, and I tried to talk back and make myself get out of bed, but it almost hurt to try to move. The third time I “woke up,” again unable to move, I heard footsteps walking through the house. And then I told myself it must have been the dryer running (I do not know why, because the dryer wasn’t even on). I forced myself to move, and I sat up only to fall back over, feeling utterly exhausted and drowsy, almost dizzy.
It is a very frustrating experience, and I hate it every time. However, I have heard that it is your body’s way of handling too much sleep. Either way, it can make you feel like you’ve lost your mind.
Oh, I just thought of this occurrence. It couldn’t have happened more than a year ago; I was in bed, and I heard a knock on the door, but when I got up to check, there was no one there. I even yelled out that I was heading to the door, thinking that one of my family members was waiting. But no one was there, and when I asked the person whom I thought it was, they informed me that they had not knocked on my door.
So i was dreaming and i was fully aware that i was actually sleeping at this point. In the dream i was speaking to my father, he gave me a hug goodnight and then suddenly disappeared. After that, my boyfriend then appeared and was crying but i had no idea why. He kissed me and then said, “see you tomorrow ” and then also disappeared.after this occurred, i turned and looked at my ceiling, and then took one last glance beside me and suddenly a dark shadow appeared. it felt like something was sucked into my body and i completely lost full control. I couldn’t move and at this point i wasn’t sure if i was dreaming anymore or not. this cold wind came over me and suddenly i heard a mans whisper say, “let me take your soul” i then woke up a few seconds later after struggling to move. someone please please tell me what this could be. i’m only 16 and i’m absolutely terrified. An explanation would be highly appreciated.
Well I have been getting them occasionally for a few years now but have literally only just figured out what it is (I just woke up to the same thing about half an hour ago). Every time I get SP I hear very loud footsteps approach my bed stop when the thing is right above me then walk away just as fast. However what always makes this experience 10 times worse is I can never see it because for some reason whenever i get SP I always wake up in with my arm over my eyes, something that otherwise never happens.
Sometime last night I felt someone get into bed with me and snuggle up to my back as I laid on my side. It suddenly started speaking some language very quickly to me, or it could’ve been gibberish. I immediately called upon the name of Jesus and the demon left me alone. Later on last night the demon got in the bed with me again and assumed the same position and this time the speaking was faster than before. The other thing that was different was I saw a hand of sorts hovering over my nose/mouth area. I rebuked the demon in the name of Jesus over and over. I told the demon I am a child of God and he could not have me. After a few seconds it was gone and never came back for the rest of the night. This struck me as very odd and scary for I am going through a divorce, but I have a boyfriend that lives out of town. My boyfriend was not at my place last night…
This happened a few moments ago. I went to sleep at midnight and it seemed like a dream to me at first, until I told my friend about it. In this “dream”, I was living in an apartment with two or three other roomates, when it was time to go to sleep, I went to my room (furthest in the back), and laid in bed. Suddenly I couldn’t move at all and I could feel this dark aura and hear scratching on hard wood floor. I tried to scream and I got a few muffles out, and as I was waiting for help I heard the noise I had just made, only from across the room and when I began to freak out I heard laughter. There was a cold shiver that went through me from my toes to my chest and then I woke up at 3. Now thinking back on it, i’ve experienced this before, only I always forgot it. But tonight it was so vivid, I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
Okay so last night I was having trouble sleeping and my bedroom door was open. Now through my bedroom door I can see my little brothers room. His door was open too, but he doesn’t sleep in there. I get why too, I wouldn’t want to sleep in there either. But I couldn’t move in bed and I saw some black static. I was terrified. It started coming toward me, fast. And when I closed my eyes it attacked me. I felt it physically. I haven’t been able to sleep right and now I’m terrified of the dark and of sleep. It’s only 9am and I’m still hallucinating different things. Mostly with smell now.
I hear white noise and a creepy**{not cute}annoying version of a music box playing. I say the name of Jesus over and over again and that comforts me.I believe that this is demonic. Sometimes in my dreams,I see dark prescences with evil voices,choking me and once I was raped by one:c.The Devil killed my Granddad{who died a few years ago}again in my dream.:c THEY try to mess with my feet+legs+they cover my mouth.They try to kill me. They are ruthless and crazy. I’ve seen imps{tiny demons that look like small kids with hats and bows etc.I scream the name of Jesus in my head when my mouth is covered.Lights keep them away,so use nightlights,leave the tv on,or he he ignite your spiritual Light of Jesus by praying in The Spirit,praise and worship+meditation on ScripturesTim+most importantly listening to God’s Voice.Sometimes when you spend this time,you can see little imps,etc because your spiritual eyes are open.You won’t be afraid then.All these attacks will make you stronger+you’ll be able to tell others they’re not alone+that’s a blessingâ¡
I woke up today maybe 5 am it is still dark outside, then i close my eyes i feel that every particles which i seen while my eyes was closed will go through me . After a while , it formed through a face of a little child i saw it clearly ,just a face only no body, just face. After it appears , i feel like my whole body was shaking then i feel that there is someone pulling my hair,or head upward, then i hear a voice of a child while im at the situation,they are laughing . I don’ t know who are they , their not only one ,i dont know how many are they, i clearly hear it, its just like an evil laugh of a child, not an ordinary child. I dont know why, i had a dream like that.
Hello, i’ve had asleep paralysis for quite a while now. I remember the first time i exprienced it i was scared out of my mind. I’ll usually experience it just as i’m about to fall asleep. It always starts off with a very loud ringing sound in my ear, I couldn’t move my entire body, i’ve tried to scream so many times but couldn’t, i tried rolling my body off the bed but instead it felt like my spirit was leaving my body or something. I’ve had my fear share of experiencing illusination as well but it wasnt as scary as some i’ve read above. The most i’ve experience which was scary to me was watching myself sleep, or feeling my body floating in mid air. Then i’d snap out of it and everything was as normal again. Lasted 5 – 10 minutes. Anyways, haven’t had it in a very long time but tonight i’ve experienced again but this time it was different. Usually i’d be paralised for 5-10 second but this time i wasn’t able to move for a full on 10minutes and the ringing in my ears got louder and louder. Now im in bed wide awake and to be honest im scared to even attempt to close my eyes again but i’m so tired and have work in the evening.
I’ve spoken to my doctor before about sleep paralysis and he prescribed me with sleeping tablets and early nights sleep. Might have to go to the pharmacy and get some more of those tablets later.
In one night I had sleep paralysis 3 times I woke first time after 30 min I could c outside my window except there was a woodline I don’t wanna go I finally woke 10 min later again I tried to wake seen outside but with woods again and woke then I fell sleep and took me 15 min to move and wake up seen woods then heard a women say I forgive you. I woke up smoked a CIG then finally was able to sleep normal what does this mean
I’m 17 and I’ve been having sleep paralyisis for about a year now. I have a friend whose had it for much longer and I don’t know whats causing mine. It happens at random. I can move and scream but I’m not not really moving or making any sounds, my body feels like that tingling feeling you get when your arm goes numb everytime I try to move. If I keep my eyes open I see this large shadow man creep around my door, and when I keep them shut I can hear steps coming toward me. I just woke up from a nap. I kept my eyes shut and stayed calm but this episode felt like it lasted forever. Does anyone know a way I can wake myself up from these?
First time it happend to me was when i was like 17 i had a dream that i waz young around 12 years and i was sitting on my bed at night in a room thats waz so dark the only thing i could see was my door slightly open and yellowish light coming from it reflecting on a big picture frame of jesus christ i couldnt stop staring at for a reason and i turned my head towards the door slowly opend and this dark shadow slided across the floor to the frame i was so scared but more then scared strangly very sad couldnt move at all or scream at all as much as i did want to i seen the jesus turning slowy into a big smilling bloody face figure and with this staticly sound in my brain a strong laugh until i just prayed in my sleep and woke up sitting up against my wall sweating and tears!!

Tried to go to sleep eventually at around 4AM, my sleeping pattern has been seriously messed up the past few days. I drifted off to sleep and in the middle of a dream woke up. My eyes were open, I then realised it was a sleep paralysis episode as I couldn’t move or speak. I looked down and seen my dad sprawled across my bed trying to tape my mouth shut. I seen his lips mouth curse words as he couldn’t stick the tape because I was awake, and then he morphed in to one of my friends, doing the exact same thing with the tape. And then all of a sudden my dad was crying whilst lying next to me. It seemed so unbelievably real that I could feel myself trying to explain to him that I was awake but couldn’t move because of the paralysis, but I couldn’t make a sound. I was then able to twitch one of my fingers, and snapped out of it. I immediately looked around expecting my dad to be there but he was in the next room soundly asleep, snoring loudly. It was so frightening I don’t want to go back to sleep out of fear that it’ll happen again. I’ve been through this before and I have always been able to tell myself in my mind that it’s all fake that it’s only sleep paralysis and that it’ll be over soon. But because this time it involved a real life person, my dad no less, made it all the more terrifying and seemingly real. I’m waiting for it to get bright outside to sleep I’m too afraid.
This kind of phenomena has been increasing and increasing over the years. I cannot provide a GREAT understand as to why, however, with the launch of things like CERN (lhc) these attacks if you will, are only going to increase. You may believe you are in control of stopping these things, and I do not doubt you, however, let me suggest that YOU CAN BE SAVED and PROTECTED by Jesus Christ if you are willing to let his will in your life. And this is coming from someone who hated Christianity for the first 23 years of his life… Oh how naive I was….
You should start with a man called Derek Prince on YouTube

I’ve struggled with sleep paralysis for 2 yrs now, my triggers are usually messed up sleep schedules during the school year.
Yesterday i laid down at 6:50 am after taking my sister to school, only to wake up from a dream at about 7 am and be forced into sleep paralysis. It was seemingly normal at first, loud whirring and ringing noises. Then, I suddenly sense a presence in my bed with me, hovering above me and watching me. It then sang to me ‘Nap now, time to lay down for a nap now…’ It was an eerie womans voice. I’m fairly used to creepy hallucinations during sp (shadow people) but only one other time have I had such a terrifying auditory hallucination.
Now I can’t nap during the day time without fearing sp. Lol
I’ve had sleep paralysis once before, prior to today.
I don’t remember much and it wasn’t too scary, but I couldn’t move and swore I heard my old best friend’s voice saying my name. I believe I saw something, though it was dark and shadowy? Almost as if it was floating in front of me, just watching.
Today, I reached over to grab something while in bed after waking up and it started. I wasn’t too afraid either, namely because I was able to recognize it was sleep paralysis. However, it was far more intense than the older one.
My eyes shut close and I can’t open them. For a few seconds everything becomes a harsh white and it feels as if someone is slightly holding my back (I was laying on my side) but not to hard. It was more of a tingling sensation I got. What stood out was the whispers and noises. Someone kept whispering âssh’ and a harsh breeze was all I heard throughout the whole event. It was unsettling and my back still felt… tingly?
I just had one where I was sleep and I was dreaming of my getting home to an unknown house, and then as soon as we got to the door something started banging on on it from the inside, my dog that was with me wouldn’t go inside and started biting and growling at the door corner.
I have been having sleep paralysis for the last two days, but I never see anything because I face the wall when I sleep. But it is always the same thing, whispering/breathing in the corner, and slithering. As well as beads hitting the floor. For quite awhile after it happens, I jump at every sound. School starts soon too, I hope I can find away to get some decent rest.
I have tried keeping the light on, but that almost makes it worse. The sounds just sound like they are under me.
Early this morning around 4:30am I felt what i think was a dog jump on my bed sniff my head and in my ear then continue to jump toward the foot of my bed. I couldn’t move or make a sound. I then felt it jump from my bed and i could move, It scared me a little bit but then i said the lords prayer and fell back asleep.
Had several before but this one was the most strong one , woke up opened my eyes and a bad sensation took over my body couldn’t move tried to yell but couldnt , then I started to here multiple whisperes of females getting louder and louder and then just like that it vanished and I was free to move .
Today It was 3 Or 4 Something In The Morning I Was Awake trying to Sleep, When i had my Eyes Closed, Strangly I Heard a growl On My Left in my closet. I Was Scared and all The sudden I Couldnt move or Scream For Help When All The sudden It Felt Like Something Was Holding me down, I Tryed To Fight back And So i Was struggling To Talk Till i Said Jesus God, And It Stopped For One Second And it Was Quiet. And I was going to Open my eyes Up And run Out of my bed,Then It Started to Happen Again I Felt Being hold down And couldnt move or anything. It Was like Something Was Fighting Back And i Finally Got up, Never Fell Asleep Or Closed my eyes again. 🙁
Okay, so I am someone who only listens to God. And I am someone who is spiritually aware. So let me tell you the secret to how they paralyse you and how to overcome it very quickly. It was about 06:50 when it happened. It was 07:00 when I woke up. And it was very short. So what happened to me is this: after having a kind of nightmare (won’t explain it now) I woke up to seeing a man sitting on my bed and he was looking at me and spoke English. (I cannot remember if he was speaking to me or the “old hag”) then I realised this pressure of a hand on each one of my legs and I heard an old lady (the old hag) speaking some sort of chant as she had her hands on my legs. I realised at that moment that I had woken up before the old hag had finished her chant and before they could “take their places to terrify me” I believe the man that was sitting on my bed was a fallen angel that would disguise himself as a terrifying demon to scare the people they are victimising. God granted me ability to wake up before their chant was over. I did not see the old hag. I only heard her voice which was speaking in “foreign fallen angel language” I realised what they were trying to do and shouted in my head Heavenly Father!!! And I woke up immediatly, but I could still feel the presence of the old lady’s hands on each one of my legs. She held my thighs, putting quite a heavy pressure. I am still not sure why God allowed me to wake up before they were done, maybe because I am a faithful servant to him. Or maybe it was to post this. Either way, all you need is to have true faith and follow Gods laws. And then when it happens again you will automatically think of God. All you need to say is Heavenly Father or Jesus Christ. This is Gods honest truth on what they do to paralyse you. Fallen angels are not scary looking. They just take that form. They look like a person. A man. I hope this helped.
While I was asleep in the early evening my friend called my name several times and I heard her but I couldn’t respond to her..What is this?
I wanted to take a nap before i went to help people in a game i play but my nap tirned into a 2hr sleep and i have awake paralozed before but this time I tried to force myself to move and I could hear someone muttering behind me but I was sleeping on my back and I couldn’t turn my head to see him so I got ready to kick the crap out of my ppssible couousin pr friend let in my my sister who i heard getting dressed for school earlier when I tried all my muscles tighten and it felt like a light taze on my spine to keep me still (tazer do tighten muscles to where you can’t move) and he said no or some but I can’t really hear him it’s like some old guy so something (like tv 20o year old wise wizard guy old) I try scream f*** off and got my left eye open and the window closed so I try again but I feel a stronger taze but nothing else no pressure was on me to keep me a still I couldn’t scream for help i kinda just squeezed out air no louder than you breath now or open my eyes this time and than I try and get ready to grab him so if I get tazed he gets taxed and when I open my eyes I can move and my doors are still close my sister is in the hall my mom is in bathroom they could see some and my window still locked than I realized I was in a sleep paralyzed state but this time i know I heard a voice asking not to move but with no feel of a gun to the head or nothing not even a hand…just a power shock keeping my arms to my side and my neck down.
When I have sleep paralysis, I’m acutely aware of my surroundings and can see everything in great detail; just as though I’m awake. I can’t move so I shout out to my husband but this ringing starts in my ears to drown me out. The louder I try to scream or shout, the louder this shrieking in my head gets.
It’s like there is someone malicious deliberately putting that noise in my head so that I can’t be heard.
Sometimes I hear that sound when I’m awake – mostly when I’m stressed and tired.
I haven’t had one in at least 15 years. I just woke up from one and can’t go back to sleep now. Found this forum. I was in a pretty deep sleep I guess and I woke up to little footsteps comming down the hallway. I have ward wood floors so and it sounded like a dog or something small with nails or claws on thier feet ( I don’t have pets ). My mind was awake but I could not move. I had a sense of terror come over me and I was screaming out my brothers name ( he lives in another state). It must have been a minute or two but I finally woke up. I turned on the lights looked at my kids and walked around the house. A kitchen drawer was pulled all the way out and scissors were taken and left on the sofa. Now my right leg hurts really bad and feels a bit numb and now I can’t go back to sleep. Very strange and very scary. the time was 3:33am
i’ve only had sp a few times. i’ve never “seen” anything but i did hear strange noises on more than a few occasions. first time it happened it sounded like heavy breathing right in my ear. it did not feel like it was coming from me and there was no one else in the room. the next few times it was the same heavy breathing with grunts and noises that sounded like the belonged to a pig snorting or something like that. at this point i still assumed it was just a weird thing that happened and the noises were really me snoring in my sleep, but i’ve never been told i snore. ever. so this is highly unlikely. last time it happened i heard the heavy breathing which turned into really evil laughter. like my room was full of witches/demons just laughing away. the weird thing is i noticed most people can remember when their episode ended. i dont remember mine ever ending… i just wake up the next morning and wonder how the hell i was able to fall back asleep during that. its really scary, i havent had any episodes in years but still can remember how creepy and real it all felt !
I was half asleep at sometime between 3 and 7 AM probably starting a new sleep cycle. All of a sudden there was a rumbling, sounded in my head or like the house was rumbling, it was soft but vivid. Then I heard thuddy running footsteps going around my house and in the hallway where the bedrooms are. This only lasted about 30 seconds in total maybe. Scared me a little and I just kept my eyes closed
Couldn’t find any other similar stories to mine
I generally get sleep paralysis right before I have to wake up on my normal routine, but sometimes its in the middle of the night. Most of the time I’m screaming loudly for someone to come help because I can’t move. In my mind, I’m throwing a fit and calling for people, but in reality, I’m not making a sound. Like others, I have woken to hear loud banging noises in the middle of the night which no one else in the house who was awake at the time could hear and I have had the witch syndrome happen once during a depressive phase in my life. I discovered that they usually only happen either when I’m beyond tired or going through things in life. When they become real troublesome, I meditate before I go to sleep and they go away. Hope this helps anyone!
I just had a dream then all of a sudden I am awake.. but icant open my eyes. I hear my fan blowing and the cars driving by. I then heard a mans voice say “you dumb bitch” it sounded very creepy and I was so scared. I tried to turn my head, but I could not move. it really felt like someone was there, just in the room. it made it even scarier because my 6 month old daughter is asleep in my arms. finally I was able to move and open my eyes, but I just kept them closed for a few minutes because I was afraid to look over and see someone there. I have had sleep paralysis once before, a few years ago and all I heard was my dad say “how did this picture fall off the wall.” which that actually happened. At least I think…
This morning I thought I had woke up and I was lying in my bed and I could hear my mum down stairs talking to a bloke at the door, I couldn’t hear the conversation but I heard my mum call do you want a brew before you go and he replied with no, I thought nothing of it and tried to get up I felt a bit stuck and heavy to my bed, later I asked my mum who was at the door and she told me nobody had came to the door today
My experiences are occurring more frequently now and my hallucinations are becoming more eerie.
I had my first episode when I was in my 20’s (I’m 41) and it scared the living sh*t out of me with SP occurring every 3 to 4 months..But now (Sep 2015) I have had an episode EVERY MORNING. The sounds I hear vary from low rumbling to buzzing but I sometimes hear a noise that I can only refer to as an “Off tune radio station” or “Fuzzy” sound.
This morning (Sun) I saw an eerie, out-of-shape and crooked figure at the side of my bed and “It” uttered something unclear but it was a male voice.
I will try to keep you posted on my episodes so I’ll sign off now.
I’ve only experienced two episodes of SP, the 2nd was last night (9.20.15) and although I’ve never had visual hallucinations both were accompanied by auditory hallucinations. This time I had a dream that my dog needed to be let out to do her business. I woke and couldn’t move, I hear someone whispering “no” and laughing menacingly. I’m on my side (during the 1st episode I was on my stomach), finally I breeak free, sit up and turn the light on. Just then my puppy lets how a high pitched whimper and I look at her half under my bed -directly beneath me, her eyes are darting around, but I can see that she can’t move. Seems she’s also experiencing SP. About 30-40 seconds in she starts thrashing her legs, then bolts from under my bed and out of the bedroom. I go and find her, bring her back into the bedroom and by this time she is calm; however, she doesn’t go back under the bed. She lays on the floor beside the bed and goes back to sleep. She ALWAYS sleeps under my bed, never beside it. It seems I’m always extremely exhausted after SP and soon I’m asleep again as well.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this, with their pets having an episode of SP simultaneously or in conjunction with theirs? I’ve read of ppls dogs reacting to the visual hallucination of their owner.
I had a dream that I was floating out of my bed, and my body floated through the ceiling and all the way above my house. In the process of waking up, I found that I could not move. Upon fully waking up, I realized I was actually floating above my house. The fire department had to find a way to get me down. Medical examinations said I ate too many beans before bed, thus fueling my flatulence, thus causing me to fly. Farts=flying. So, the cure to these paralysis dreams is to not eat beans before bed.
I woke up in the middle of the night and felt a building dark/evil presence at the end of my bed and then heard loud rumbling ringing sounds and was completely unable to move i went to shout for help but couldn’t speak it lasted for about 10 seconds then i fell back to sleep. When i woke up the next morning i wasn’t sure if it was just a dream but after searching up my experience on google its comforting and weird at the same time to see that lots of other people have had very similar experiences to my one. That whole evil presence thing is the creepiest part for me. Hope it doesn’t happen again tonight 🙁
I heard a loud roar and then my body started vibrating I got scared…Can you tell me what caused the vibrations
So this has been happening for 3 years, but actually it ended this year but, in those 3 years at the end of the day i go to sleep and i start dreaming really fast, and i could wake up easily, so i keep trying to go to sleep, then i start dreaming and i was awake at the same time, i couldn’t move or open my eyes,i started having this one image in my head, and its like something heavy is crushing me,my head starts to hurt and i dont know what to do so i try to wake up, and the pain just gets worse, and then i start to hear whispering, and so at that moment i wake up crying
So its about 3:55 in the morning, i was having some weird dreams to begin with. But then i woke up thinking okay it was just a dream, thats when i tried moving my arms and body but it just wouldnt happen. I tried yelling for help but my voice sounded completely gone. I am now awake and scared to say the least. Probably wont get any sleep tonight.
Last night I was awoken by a screeching laughter. I opened my eyes just in time to see some kind of bat like figure fly inches over my face and dive down in to my left ear. My muscles pumped up and I had a strang feeling physical strength. My mind was working but I felt like something els was in control of my body. It was overwhelming so I called out to Jesus. My muscles instantly deflated and the presence left me and my room felt safe again.
A few years ago I woke up and heard loud popping and could not move and felt something heavy on me. I remberd the kill bill movie and started moving my finger tips.I wanted to go get my dad to take me to the hospital so After a few min I mustered the strength to clime out of bed though I was very stiff. When I opened my door I was shocked to see an oarc like figure from lord of the rings in the kitchen grinning at me. I had a moment of fight or flight and since there was no where to run said a quick prayer and charged it. My joints loosened as I got closer and I pushed it and told it to get out, to my suprise it ran. On my way up to my parents room my joints siezed up again and if colapsed on the floor and fell asleep. I woke up in bed the next morning.
I’ve had sleep paralysis several times and thank goodness, none have been nightmarish. I just hear a loud buzzing in my ears like they are vibrating.
Tonight,October 11 around 10:15pm I was experiencing sleep paralysis. It wasn’t my first time, I’ve lost fount of the many experiences I’ve had. But this one was different, i would normaly start praying in my head, but this time i dont know what happened.it was yelling and laughing at me, specially when i started yelling at him telling him to kill me… but after further attempts to free myself i did it but im not sure what to expect now..
For God to help you man, and for him to hear your prayers you need to literally do the 10 commandments… It’s so important. Without it it means nothing. We want alot from God, but what do we do for him in return? I follow the 10 commandments and I’m 20 years old, and man I tell you my life is awesome 😀
Okay so I was laying down trying to go to sleep and then I started hearing this noise that sounded like when you are driving super fast and roll down a window mixed with a vibrating noise and it scared the shit out of me so I tried to get up but I couldn’t move so I tried to like yell for somebody but I couldn’t talk so I was just laying there. then I started to feel really warm all over and the noise stopped then I couldn’t hear anything then I hear this woman’s voice say “One.. Two.. Two.. Two..” Then the voice stopped and the noise started again then I felt cold again and started to hear my fan and my dog, and I just laid there for a bit trying to understand what happened and I started to move my fingers because I finally could then I made a noise to see if I could and it worked then I got up and went to My sisters room and told her about it while I was crying and shaking.
I remember what seemed like the first time i have hallucinated by hearing a very deep, man’s voice saying, “God was dead.” Several years later, during sleep again, I heard a very deep chuckle of a man. And then I heard a high-pitched chuckle of what seemed to be a dwarf to me.

ime currently going thru strange episodes whilst sleeping waking up to bed moving my face being stabbed by sharp object but lately its blowing and cold heavy breathing on my face ime petrified please help what is it x
I’ve never been religious, but lately my depression has been coming back and I also stopped talking to all of my friends. I’m 18 and I’ve been trying to get in touch with God. I usually don’t have sleep paralysis or lucid dreams. But since I’ve turned 18 I be been having lots of lucid dreams and sleep paralysis around once every 2-3 months sometimes right after a lucid dream. My lucid dreams always start as nightmares of me being chased by a man or monster and then I either get saved by a man I’ve never seen before (but I feel like I know) or in he process of me trying to escabe the monster/killer I see the mysterious man and the nightmare ends. Well last night I woke and had sleep paralysis which turned to some sort of out of body experience I couldn’t open my eyes but I could see around me. There was a blue bright light around me not a light from a bulb but a glowing light. And I felt pressure over me. The pressure is what woke me up actually. So I started to get scared and think that a demon might be in the room with me. The energy in the room wasn’t really negative as far as I could tell but I still wanted it to stop. Then the pressure became more intense and I heard a man say “it’s ok… I’m going to make it go away” and I suddenly stopped being scared and relaxed. I was so tired and groggy I kept thinking “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you” and then the pressure went away and I opened my eyes for a moment and then just went back to sleep. I woke up this morning feeling good… Like every breath I take feels good and fresh.
The only thing is one now wondering since unread a post on here “Mysterious Man” (posted: May 2015) if maybe the person who came to me last night is the same man from my dream. Or if it’s something else. I kind of don’t think so but I’m just a little paranoid.
I forgot to mention that I though it was God because I’ve been having some issues which I asked God to help me stop.
To the comment above.
Go with what you truly think it was. Feel what feels the best answer for yourself. And that’s your answer. Go with it and stick to it with everything you got 🙂
The man who’s helping you make it all go away s The Lord Jesus Christ, i had experience demon attacks through sleep paralysis and everytime I utter the name of Jesus the paralysis stops, you have to accept the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Lord and saviour of your life in order for this to work, Accept that your a sinner and in need of His saving grace. And so when Jesus name is called, Every knee will bow of those who are in heaven, and on earth and under the earth, philippians 2:10
Jesus Christ is the one who made this all go away for me. All I had to do was utter Heavenly Father and it all went away in an instant…it was unbelievable. That all happened when I still questioned. But now, I have come far enough to know Jesus is true. I know how some of you are feeling, it is honestly very hard to understand and believe in God and J.C (Jesus Christ) 🙂 make his name sound cool. But you know, just pray once. Only once, and ask him to accept you and forgive you for all the “shit” you have done in your life..and then once you have done that ask him for something you want..and it shall be granted. Just trying it with faith and you shall get it, but wait a few days at least. And when you get it, don’t say its coinscidence, but if you would like to find God through coincidence, then learn of numerology. There you can speak to God daily through time. He will let you know what is right and what is wrong though the numbers 7, 11, 22, 33 etc and even way way more. Just give God and Jesus a true try and if you do with all your heart. You will not be disappointed. LOOK UP DEATH TESTIMONIES. Go to the seventh page, the 20th page and on almost every page you will see they all met Jesus or saw I white warm loving light and they were all in the spirit. That is a BIG truth for many!! Just go and see for yourself, there is real honest proof there, even go check Muslim death testimonies, Chinese death testimonies, Japanese death testimonies. All about God. Yepp, just see with your eyes and believe with your heart, soul and mind. Lots of Love from Rebecca
it’s been happening for a while now but I usually fall asleep within 30 min but these last couple of times it takes like 5 min for me to, my eyes just get really heavy then I start hearing voices, not good ones, but I don’t see anything its just pitch black. I am aware that I am sleeping so I try to open my eyes but I struggle to do so. if anyone knows what this is plz let me know.
I have experienced SP all my life, first time I was under the age of 4. I never did hear anything during the process but as I’ve gotten older my SP episodes have gotten scarier. I sleep on my stomach w/ my arms under the pillow and last night as I was dozing off I felt coins in my hands, I was confused and thought to myself, “I didn’t fall asleep with coins in my hands??” that’s when I realized I was dreaming. I tried moving and couldn’t, I relaxed myself and started hearing noises and movement in my room then I heard a cat hissing at me as if it were right beside my bed while that was going on I felt my left leg raising up on its own like something or someone was lifting it up, that’s when I felt fear and started praying in my head and finally I awoke from my vivid nightmare. The time was 12:40am when I awoke.
Once I awoke to the sound of snoring, I felt a presence lying next to me snoring. I was too afraid to turn around and move so idk if it was SP, but I kept blinking because I new I was asleep and dreaming and I wanted to wake up. After sever blink I finally woke up and it was no longer nighttime but morning.
I do believe now I’m trying to build a connection to the holy trinity. It’s just really hard for me because of my past sins. I’m Catholic but I don’t want to confess to a priest I’d rather confess directly to God since it happened years ago and I haven’t ever done it again. Since that night I haven’t had sleep paralysis at all but my dreams are extremely detailed ever since some times I wake up and remember the dream as if it was real. I think I’m a better person now though. I just still can’t stop thinking why me? I’ve sinned so much why would an angel/Jesus come to me instead of someone who deserved it.
so it all started on a day i was really started the day before i couldnt sleep so i went to bed for a heavy sleep as soon as i shut my eyes i hear death and dead people screaming and suddenly my lungs are working as if there is a huge load on my chest i can feel it, it was very hard for me to wake up but when i wake up and shut my eyes after instantly i start to hear dead people and cant breath and this happend 3 times when i try to open my eyes and shut them again.
Usually, I hear just the general din of many murmuring voices off in another room, or even sometimes in the same room as me. Or sometimes it’s the general business of a noisy day, like dishes clinking, water running, people talking, etc. Sometimes, the voices are more purposeful and coherent. I can never see what’s making the voices/sounds; they’re always outside of my field of vision. When I wake up (for real), I’m always surprised by the complete silence.
In my dreams I had a sound of a cat it was so real at the same time I felt like something heavy is on top of me in my left shoulder.
Si i has a brief dream near the end I dropped a lot of coins, I sat on the grind to pick them up and somehow I appeared in my bed same position as I was sleeping in. I started to feel cold. I sleept on my right side facing the wall with the bed sheets covering my mouth and nose. I heard some external noise with where from memories pretty vivid ones too but there where a lot simultaneously. I started to feel my body getting colder and something approaching me. Then I heard a demonic scream. I was still paralyzed and then I felt it again, I began to try to let some sort of sound out which never actually happened but by trying to scream twice and letting out a short, damp, and quiet “ahhh” I woke up
First l heard this loud buzzing sound,and then l saw 2witches size of half my thumb laughing in my ear.
My partner heard me calling his name thats how l snapped out of it. But the funny part is l asked my parner and said was l sleeping wen u woke up he said yes. I said then how do l no that u went to the bathroom and then opened the front door and came back into the room and grabbed a cigarette and went back outside so was l awake the whole time wen this happened. This wat ever it is scares me.at one stage l use to c the man in cape but never seen his face it went on for years my dr new about it and then it was just getting worse everyone thought l was going insane becouse l use to beable tell my friends wat is going to happen next. And then l got locked up for 10 days in the mental institution the cops took me cos l didnt wana go so l was forced l thought wat the hell its only a dream and lm getting locked up l didnt take any off the medications l was given l use to spit it out. Now l no not to say anything to my dr and just live with it l guess. This happend in2012 and tonight was the first time l saw witches anyway l thought l share l am scared to go back to sleep cos its like soon as l hear the buz lm knocked out
I was laying in bed, slowly going to sleep,and a loud evil Laugh was in my right ear. With my eyes open the Laugh continue. Usually the laugh would have stop when I have woken up. when it stated to speak it was something new for me. The laughter guy have said (“I am taking her”) (continue laughing) I was pulling and struggling for some one so I decided to to get up with all I had and found out I was pulling my self. I was holding both of my hands together. When I realized that the laughing have stop.
My first experienced last 3 days ago, I don’t hear anything.. 2nd was yesterday, I heard a Latin spell, I don’t know if is Latin, but its not English.. Then I experienced it again recently about an hour ago, I heard a girl called my full name then, I can’t move again, I know I’m awake, coz I saw everything in place, I saw my son beside me, then I’m call in my mom, but no voice coming out.. From 1st to 3rd experienced, I saw what’s everyone doing, even my cat’s position when I saw her in SP and when I wake up is the same..
Okay so this is not actually sleeping paralysis because when i am about to sleep i just get paralyzed cant speak cant move and there is always this one thing that i can hear like once i heard a lot of people laughing and it was so scary and once it repeatedly said my friends name . Luckily it stopped and i can finally sleep properly.
Last night I woke up and could hear foot steps. I’m a sufferer of hypnagogia, every night I wake up and hallucinate, it a part of my daily life. But luckily I have never experienced the sleep paralysis side of the disorder.
When I hallucinate I usually turn on the light and it goes away, so when I heard footsteps coming into my bedroom I tried to get up and turn on the light but I literally could not move. It was pitch black and I don’t even know if my eyes were open. I was pushing with every ounce of strength, fired by fear to get up and turn on my light, but there was nothing I could do. Eventually, I was able to move my mouth slightly and after trying to speak yell all I could come out with was a slurred ‘Get Out’. My memory of it is quite vague, I don’t know how long it took me to finally be able to move but it felt like I was drifting in and out of consciousness so it could have being an hour. Eventually I was able to move my mouth more and with a panicked scream I finally could sit up and turn on my light to see their was nothing in my room. It was terrifying. I don’t think I could handle having
anything like that a part of my daily life.
When I was in high school, I used to wake up early in the morning to review for my exam that same morning. For math, I usually wake up at around 5 as my exam is at 8. During my junior year, I decided to stay in bed as I reviewed (something I do a lot since leaving the bed in the morning is cold) and thus the lights were on in my room.
Somewhere along the way I must’ve fallen asleep, however my eyes were still open and I remember staring at my closet the entire time while I heard these loud trumpet noises. Not really music, just trumpets synchronized. I was so terrified because I felt like something was coming and I kept trying to move my feet or my hand.
Eventually, I managed to wiggle my toes and I got out of the SP, but holy shizzles who knew trumpets were scary?
I worked until 2 am the night before, but the next morning I wasn’t sure if I had an appointment at 8 am or not, so I woke up early just in case. I stayed in the bed for two hours, still awake but falling asleep, then suddenly and abruptly I feel like something or someone was on my neck, a heavy buzzing noise in my ears, my body and head felt extremely heavy and I couldn’t move, and I’m not sure if it was my thought or I heard it, but it said “my master is here”. After that I tried really hard to regain control, the event was for about 20 seconds. It’s the first time that something like this happens to me, so I would guess is because I was exhausted.
Hi I wanted to share my experience to all of you
I’m now currently reading all of your experiences which made me to share mine so
I was just 10 when I had my first sp . I was at our living room sleeping with my old friend . I didn’t expect thing would happen but then it happened I was sleeping I woke up but I couldn’t move any of my body I tried moving my toes and fingers yes I could move it but nothing happens until a little girl sat next to me she was saying something I couldn’t even understand what it was and then some sparkling happening I can even see her with an elf or maybe i was just making that up ,after a several of trying,atlast! I hugged my friend so tight bc it freaking scared the hell out of me and after that im now experiencing sp like damn everyday i could even have a lucid dream after my sp but I haven’t experienced hearing voices expect the first one.
I’m now 14yo.while doing this I just had my 2nd scary experience and its 5:30 in the morning I was dreaming about my grandma talking about fraternityor something I dunno why until I woke up couldn’t move anything I knew I could escape it since I’m having it everyday but this time I was so scared at first I thought my lil sis was entering my room and and crying but I knew she would wake me up cause she’s going to school but no it wasn’t my sister I can’t clearly see it but I know its a little girl. I heard its crying and laugh I thought to myself that I’m becoming crazy but I know my mind was just making this all up . And I woke up with my eyes closed cause I’m afraid I might see something scary . I woke my sister beside me . glad she slept with me .
I fell asleep around midnight and I was awoken by on the couch by someone messing with my covers..I thought it was my gf covering me up so I didn’t open my eyes..I woke up at 2 in the morning only to realize she was still at work..I fell back to sleep and woke up paralyzed andvsaw clearly a dark hooded figure staring directly at me which was followed by the most evil cackling I have ever heard..I could not move or yell and then started hearing voices..I finally was able to move and sat up to shake my experience.. I fell back to sleep only to wake up again paralyzed and swept with fear as if something horrible was going to happen..I prayed in Jesus name that he circle me with His light and protect me from all evil because He sits at Gods right hand and has been given all authority in heaven and on earth..
Ive been experiencing sleep paralysis since I was a little kid. it has come in sporadic clusters, sometimes not for years, sometimes 3 to 4 nights a week.On and off over the years Ive gotten more curious about it, and recently as I was dozing off, I decided that I would ask those little shadow assholes who they are and what they want.. Ninety percent of the times Ive experienced SP, there has been a tall black shrouded silhouette present. In many cases, this tall one is like a boss of sorts, while one or two smaller shadow assholes are the ones either choking/sitting on/or hurting various areas of my frozen body. So this last time, as I fell into a semi sleep state, I invited them in my mind to come. Once I was I that trancelike almost sleep state, I was almost excited when I realized they had come, only for whatever reason, the tall shrouded asshole didn’t come, only 3 small shadow assholes.
They began their usual staring down at me over my motionless body crap they always do, And I blurted out(in my mind) who are you? and what do you want?, they didn’t answer, but instead instantly pressed what felt like 5 thousand pounds of pressure on my lower back/spine,it felt like my back would break. I started trying to scream. many of you here in this thread know how that goes, You cant get a sound out,with all your effort, and then, finally after all your sheer will is mustered, you hear yourself yell(in yr mind?) and youre unfrozen and awake in yr bed.
I get the feeling that they thought I was ‘cocky” and were gonna teach me a lesson for daring to question them or their motives. freeking little shadow assholes.
I fell asleep and there was a tall shadow person in the doorway standing there another small one was with the tall one and I couldn’t move as it crawled into my bed and up next to me behind me. I could see its hand slowly reaching for my throat and I knew it was going to strangle me I tried to scream but couldn’t and couldn’t move either. finally I was able to scream and as I opened my eyes that little one crawled up the wall, he was flat on the wall as if he lives on the 2d plane of the wall. he crawled quickly up the wall and onto/across the ceiling. I could see that he was like a 5 foot lizard man(?) with a swishing long lizard tail behind him as he went. he crawled across ceiling and INTO the seam/crack at corner where the adjacent wall and ceiling meet and was gone
As I was floating off into sleep, and thinking about nothing really, I heard in my mind the distinct word ” hey there, you…..” and then”You know who we are?”. I kindof didn’t acknowledge the words at first but then thought to myself, what the hell, where is that voice coming from? it was a hissing like whisper. again, the same words repeated. “hey there, you….’ and then”you know who we are?”
ive had sleep paralysis before, enough times to recognize the ‘feeling’ of when you go into it, so I knew who was aking the questions, even though ive NEVER heard a single utterance from them before. I decided to answer I said’yes you are the darkness, but soon youll be cleansed and washed in the light’ and then youll live with the light for eternity”. right after I said that, what was like a large ‘wave’ you know like a wave a surfer rides at the beach, washed onto me and smothered me in a heavy blackness. I screamed and woke up
Although mine is very similar to a woman’s from 2013, I will go ahead and set it up. It was early afternoon maybe 2pm I had just gotten out of the bath and had wrapped a towel around myself and laid down in bed to relax for a minute, the towel, had come off at some point or I had taken it off. I felt drowsy, but was positive I hadn’t fallen asleep. The next thing I knew I could feel the presence of someone in the room and then in the place where I think my thoughts I heard “Here I am” this very deep masculine voice, and in a panic I tried to throw off the covers and run screaming from the bed. Except I couldn’t move at all, I thought I was paralyzed but realized that it was more of the feeling of having a 250 pound man holding you down. And when I had tried to get out of the bed the voice in my head said again, “Now what are you going to do about it?” And it felt so threatening, that I fought against it harder and broke free from it. I have heard voices in my bedroom from across the room, usually child like, and hesitant like “Hi” and sometimes I’m brave enough to say it back. But this was an invasion of my mind’s thoughts. Anyway that’s my story, I haven’t slept in my bed at night since it happened 3 years ago. And after foolishly going to Flinderation Tunnel, a place in WV known to be extremely haunted, and asking anyone who was trapped their to follow me home and that I’d help them move on if I could, I took a selfie back in November, of me in my room and a month later I had gotten another like on it on instagram and I noticed something in the background. There were two demonic looking creatures smiling in conversation with one another, and I was somewhat in a vulnerable state, not naked, but just anyway, that’s my story.
I was woken up around 4am to the sound of sinister laughter and my cats in distress. It sounded as if someone was in my house, tossing my cats around like ragdolls. I went upstairs to investigate, nothing happened. No one is here that I’m aware of. I was truly terrified. My heart has never beat so fast. As I was about to enter into sleep, is when this happened. I have read quite a bit about sleep paralysis. I assume this is such a case.
for the last two nights I herd this creepy little girls voice saying Gretchen
I do not know what it means if you do can you tell me
I was so tired so I just decided to take an afternoon nap
I guess I had already fallen asleep but suddenly I heard music in my ears like i was listening to music by headphones
The music was so vivid and I could even recognize the single but not what she was saying
And every time it got on high notes I could feel pressure on my feet and hands
I realized it was sleep paralysis but not that the song wasn’t real
When I opened my eyes I saw that there’s no music or headphones
It was an interesting experience
I have an reoccurring dark figure that stands beside my bed and tells me I belong to him always have and always will I have had it come since I was a kid and it still comes to one day I told my mom about it she told me when she was pregnant with me a dark figure would stand at her bedside and say hour son belongs to him sometime I hate going to bed when these events happen I can’t move nor talk I’m stuck can’t move at all dark hooded figure with an odd sounding voice tall can’t see his face
Well when I first had sp I was naturally scared because i felt that common evil presence. Though now-a-days when I do rarely have sleep paralysis I can snap out of it within 10-15 seconds by my own will.I seem to get sp when I’m very tired and trying to stay awake. I believe that ghosts or demons probably are involved, but everyone should know that they are weak beings. I mean you tend to hear about how they want to get stronger all the time, well that must be because they’re naturally pathetically weak and can only prey on susceptible people. I really feel all you have to do easily beat scary sleep paralysis episodes is simply be confident in the strength of your own willpower and emotions to ward off any malignant forces. When I get sleep paralysis now I take it as a challenge to break out fast because I feel restrained, like everyone, but I get mad and feel like “how dare you” and then I’m able to snap out of it. And I believe the more you do this the less evil things bug you. I mean they see your strength and can’t handle it and leave. It’s natural logic found in animals and humans so it must apply here. This is just take on this issue.Good luck to anyone have serious problems with sleep paralysis, it is interesting nonetheless ð®
I had my first one last night and it was the scariest thing ever I mean my sister witch we are both teens told me how it happened before but I didn’t really believe her until last night and the scariest part was when someone whispered in my ear ” it’s time to wake up now” I got so scared I stayed up all night and now I’m to scared to even go to bed.
I’ve experienced this quite a lot. I could experience this 2 times a night and it made me afraid of going to bed. Once, I experienced hearing people laughing (including children). There are also yelling sounds and buzzing sounds. Everytime it happened, my body became paralyzed and my heart beated fast. The last time I had this was just few minutes ago and as soon as I woke up, I grabbed my phone and searched it on google. Thanks God, it’s just Exploding Head Syndrome which is not harmful.
I’ve had this happen a few times, usually at night and it’s freaky but I just try to snap myself out of it. This time tho was definitely different. It was morning, I had been up once then went to lay back down. As I was sleeping I woke up to the sensation of my bed shaking, I was laying on my side, couldn’t move and trying to snap myself out of it. Everytime my eyes opened they couldn’t stay open. I couldn’t speak so I was saying a little prayer in my head, then I heard a voice whisper in my left ear “come with me”. I couldn’t speak but somehow managed to say “no” thru gritted teeth. After that it stopped, I could move and my heart was racing.
I was laying on my couch like around 1:38 AM and I was youtubing piano tutorials and piano covers and around that time I had accidentally fallen asleep real quick but as soon as Ive fell asleep I heard something, a male whispered in my ear saying “Lex, soon.” and then I woke up immediately. I had no idea what that was about.
This happen today in the morning.I know to trigger sleeping paralysis just by laying on my back and use breathing methods. I heard this voice of a lady that sounded attractive, She said what is” it”? and I couldn’t move, I heard my mom & Dad outside my door, and my dogs growling and seems like they were fighting something, Then I woke up again, then fell asleep fast. This time i was just stuck for long period of time I thought, then I woke up once again. I fell back in this weird sleeping paralysis experience. Then I heard her or it again, Saying “Do you see me”. I look around my room just byy moving my eyeballs, and see this cloaked figure with a bright light on her/it head. Its a silhouette person can’t really tell. I managed to reply back “saying Yeah I do see you” Then it was quiet then I was stuck for what it feels like a eternity. Then I woke up confused. Then I remembered I heard this voice before 6 months ago. Saying look behind you.
I don’t like it. It’s very scary.
I’m not familiar with any of the fancy terminology that’s associated with sleep paralysis but I know what it is and I have had somewhat rare occurrences in the past. Usually it involves the feeling of slowly losing the ability to move and almost feeling like a lead blanket is on top of me. Then I usually feel like I’m falling backwards and right as I’m about to hit the floor then I wake up.
It’s almost 1 AM and I am currently lying on the couch. Something just happened and it was really scary. The TV is on and the lights are off and I had been sort of feeling relaxed and on the verge of falling asleep. I felt that heavy lead blanket feeling, where I slowly started losing the ability to move my arms and my head. I also couldn’t move my legs and then something interesting happened, I started to feel this intense vibration all over my body. With the vibration, I saw squiggly black lines that moved like an equalizer to the vibrations. I felt pushed into the couch and then I suddenly managed to move my head and looked a little to the right and a small dark silhouette was standing right next to standing right next to me me. It was short, about the size of a child. I have a 3.5 year old son and I would say it was his height, which currently is 41″ tall. I could not see the face or tell if it was male or female. It never spoke to me. But I felt this intense fear that I was about to be harmed if I didn’t wake myself out of this.
That’s the weird thing about sleep paralysis with me. I’m always aware of what’s happening and that when I feel that lead blanket feeling, I better shake my leg as soon as possible or in going to be trapped.
One last thing that happened besides the vibration was the sounds around me. It went from the normal TV background noise to a more sped up talking. Like I was in a noisy restaurant of people talking faster than normal.
At this point, I was about 95% paralyzed. I started moving my right foot, it felt heavy but I could make slow circular motions at the ankle. I gained enough strength from that to jolt my leg and that’s what pulled me out of it.
It happened about an hour ago, The sounds that I heard was almost like I was in a busy loud restaurant. Where people were talking around me but they were talking faster than normal and it was loud. Then I started to vibrate, My whole body was vibrating or shaking and my jaw was vibrating. When I woke out of it, my body was still slightly jittery.
I had this overwhelming feeling of total fear. So when I came to I still felt scared like there might be something still in the house. So I just laid here on the couch for a few moments awake.
I happen to experience a certain form of sleep paralysis that I have neva heard of. I just woke up and cant sleep for now. The paralysis happens randomly , about once bi-monthly or so. When I am asleep I feel as if I am awake, then I start to make groaning sounds. Anyone heard of this and the causes?
I started getting sleep paralysis for almost 3 years the first 3 times were not scary. You know the usual can’t move but you can see what’s around you type SP. Well over the years it started to progress and started getting more intense.I usually get SP whenever I wake up randomly at 2-3 in the morning because either I need to go to the bathroom or I just woke up. Well I guess when I try to go back to sleep I concentrate on going back to sleep that I start to get sleep paralysis. When SP starts I feel really really light, next I start to dream, next I hear inaudible whispers and scary laughing after that my back starts to hurt really really I mean REALLY bad and before I wake up I hear laughing from some guy that’s really scary. And after that I hear someone screaming really loud. I guess the scream is how I wake up. But when I’m fully aware of what happened my body is still in shock and doesn’t want to move. It’s a very scary feeling and I hate how everything during SP happenes.
I had an episode very similar to one of the examples above. I had an episode where I was facing up during sleep paralysis which is strange because I usually sleep on my side. I KNEW I was having an episode and I was trying to stay calm but then I looked towards my feet and I saw a very TALL very black horned figure. I didn’t hear a sound except my racing heartbeat in my own ears. I closed my eyes and prayed. Eventually I woke up and there was nothing there. I sometimes hear footsteps or voices but dont SEE where tge voices are coming from. I recently had one where I fell into sleep paralysis and something whispered in my ear.although I couldn’t see it because I was on my side like I usually am, It said something among the lines of “its in your blood” now I have no idea what that meant but it scared the heck out of me.
Well it starts off with a dream about being on a golf course and obama is on a whole near mine. I watch him. He shanks it and I laugh and clap. I was being sarcastically friendly and mean at the same time. Then two of my friends were with him. Then they come talk to me and the dream turns into me running out of my elementary school from the cops. Wired in itself but anyway I wake up which I’m in my hotel room I’m staying in which is also where I work. Which I guess makes it even freakier but I woke up to extreme wind and I can feel it moving my skin around like it would if you had your head out of a car like a dog. For some reason I was thinking about hockey and a hockey puck which I’ve never played nor like hockey. I tried yelling what’d going on but I just make a loud sound that sounds like the sound a mentally retarded person makes. (I’m not being mean here I’m just describing my sound) which I’ve heard myself do before when I have dreams where something kinda scary happens like someone breaking in or something. But this time my eyes were open and my first thought was the ghost wants that hockey puck really bad damn I can’t even move. Then the air conditioner went off the same time the wind stopped. So I layed there a few seconds thinking what the heck…weirdest thing ever and its been an hour now of reading this article. Most of you experience deamond demons well luckily I didn’t just wind and it was a Little chilly. I know why I couldn’t move its just my brain hadn’t fully woke up yet, but the wind part is freaky.
This is the 2nd time it has happened to me jn my lifetime, the first time i was taking a nap after a long day of class before i had to get ready for work, around 3pm door wide open with family and little kids throught the house like a normal day. i was awoken by someone or something pullin at my feet as if it was trying to pull me off the bed, but i couldnt move or speak as it kept slowly pulling me off the bed. All i could do was move my eyes and watch as it was happening. Tonight though was different, because before falling asleep my sister who frequently has horrific cases of SP told me what had happened to her last night about how something was holding her down and as she was trying to move she was trying to pray but totally lost memory of any prayer, samthing happened to me the very night after her. I was fast asleep on my normal sleeping schedule laying on my stomach gripping my pillow, i was awoken by a strong energy holding me down, i opened my eyes to see a dark blob on the bottom left corner of my eye but i couldnt speak or move, i was actually trying to curse at it but couldnt find the words to come out of my mouth. im pretty freaked out rn
just happened again, same night, fell back asleep at around 5am after having it happen right before 4am, i had the tv on bc of being scared i fell back asleep and was awoken to feeling like soemthing was in my room, i couldnt move just my eyes. i couldnt see anything but fear was running through my body and out of no where i hear a voice say “its okay im here” and then my body was able to function again and i woke up to check where the noises were coming from and my room was dead silent, the tv was still in mute like i had it wen i dozed off back to sleep. not going back to sleep tonight
I’m not really a stranger to sleep paralysis but I can’t say it’s happened more than a handful of times. The worst experience for me started with the obvious, waking unable to move or speak. From then it quickly got worse, I heard a demonic growling in my ear and I felt myself being dragged down my bed, obviously I tried struggling and yelling but I just ended up making a few wimpering sounds and moving my toes ever so slightly. After the dragging stopped I felt myself being suffocated by the blankets that were over my head. I could NOT breath. Is this normal?
yesterday i woke up twice but my body is paralyzed at first i can’t even hear nothing then i’m paralyzed and i try to move until my body can move for 1 minute then i go back sleeping then i woke up again paralyzed then i hear a child voice is laughing so hard and creepy and said your slip is small kensei then i was scared until my body start to move again
As I write this I just had a sleep paralysis episode like 10 minutes ago, i slept at 10pm the woke up at2am then slept at 6am and now it’s 7am and I’m too scared to go back to sleep because I’m scared it’ll probably happen again, I was dreaming of me and different girls in a house I think we were all going to start competing for something, the next thing I know someone is dragging my hand in real life and saying “baby I’m your mother, I care for you” the next thing I know it’s saying “it’s time, it’s time” I couldn’t say anything and I was utterly paralysed, this experienced has scared me so much and I hope nothing odd is wrong with me? I told my mum and she suggested I pray more and get closer to God.
So I had taken a nap after my 9 o clock class and my sister was asleep in the bed across from me bc I live in a dorm and my roommate wasn’t there so I had fallen asleep about 10:10 ish and I had a dream I was at a restaurant in the bathroom with my sister and we were looking at ourselves in the mirror and she had left and when she did I had approached the mirror very closely and I literally looked possessed and I couldn’t change my expression. And all the sudden I woke up but was completely paralyzed I felt limp and I tried to make a sound so that my sister who was asleep next to me could hear but nothing I tried to push out was coming out so I started praying and as soon as I did it was over I could move and speak and all of a sudden I was hearing a Christian song coming from somewhere i felt I was familiar with and tried to say to my sister do you hear this but when I said that to her for some reason it must have been in my head because the words didn’t actually come out but I knew I was up bc I then pulled out my phone and put in the lyrics to the song I heard which were “jesus christ he is our lord and savior” i checked out a few songs with this lyrics but I didn’t find what I heard but I wasn’t looking for long but as time passed I remembered the lyrics but not how the song went . I then fell back asleep and was having the weirdest dreams and constantly kept having sleep paralysis before and after I went to sleep to the point where I didn’t want to fall asleep again because I was getting scared , I don’t know if this experience means anything but it sure did shake me up a bit and I’m hoping it never happens again , it is so hard to stay calm but I actually managed to stay pretty calm
Last night I heard a boy in a scared loud voice screaming at me he kept saying ” daddy, daddy , don’t wake up ” my eyes were open while paralysed.
It is almost 4 in the morning and I couldn’t move or talk. I couldn’t even scream if I wanted to. I felt like I heard some furniture moving. I have tile floors and it sounded like heavy wood moving on tile. I was so scared I called my sister in the other room and I was like omfg was that you in my room she was like -_- no I was sleep I’m hanging up bye ð like what if somebody was actually in my room trying to kill me….. Anyways it was really scary and I looked it up they said it was sleep paralysis and to break it is to change your breathing pattern because that’s the only movement you’re capable of at that point. So if this happens again I’ll know what to do. I don’t want this to happen again but if it does I hope it works.
Gosh, last night I lifted my self up. I heard buzzing, and something forcefully pushed me. I suddenly started to have an asthma attack and my heart rate went OVER the top. I was panicking. I was having an asthma attack, and my asthma is bad. I was worried that I would suffocate (all the pressure, and asthma, heart, etc) and I couldn’t move. I heard a hhhhhhhhhaaaaa (quiet, like whispering) and I fell asleep. I dont know what came over me, but it gets me SUPER stressed. I wake up EVERY single night, and cannot move, but this was insane. This never happened and gosh darnet It scared the living daylights out of me. I woke up dizzy this morning. This has happened for about a week now, and I had kept this to myself for a while. This would scare a man, let alone a 10 year old boy (I am 10) please tell me what I can do, before I suffocate, panic, and probably die of lack of oxygen.
About a year ago I was staying at my memes in a very holy house. I was asleep then my eyes shot open and with no control I sat bolt upright on the bed and immediately looked towards the window to see a large black wolf like figure jump from the window and it hit me in the stomach and immediately disappeared inside me and I fell backwards after hitting the bed I immediately fell asleep as if I blacked out
I have had many episodes of sleep paralysis, usually I just awaken and I hear nothing but the pointless effort of my mouth to say something. It started with me just seeing Shadows darting around, I always just prayed to God to cast them away whatever they might be, Spirits or just my imagination. They would usually go away after the prayer when I would take a deep breath and then everything would return to normal. But one time when I moved into this now house I woke up around 3am with the paralysis unable to move or speak, and I noticed a dark spot where it shouldn’t be. It had something like a Shaodw forming within it, had the shape of a little gremlin of something. I actually kinda laughed in my head when I saw it, I did the usual prayer and it was gone. A couple weeks past I moved into a new house and it was my 5th night in. I awoke to the paralysis unable to speak but being conscious, I knew in my head what was going on so I tried to go back to sleep, but my efforts were futile when I finally heard my first noise during sleep paralysis. It sounded like Laughter, evil robotic laughter. It wouldn’t stop no matter what I thought, I remembered my experience with my past sleep paralysis but this was knew, I thought I had grew stronger but this astonished me. The Laughter continued for a good 2min, Until my prayer put it down. I took a deep breath and then I awoke with full strength over myself once more. During these events I attempt to say things that I subconsciously just want to say, usually I try to scream “Mom!” However during the Laughter I tried to say, “Away with you Demon!” I had no control over those thoughts they just happened. Anyways that’s my experience, I doubt that these events relate to Demons, but it is possible that they appear during our times of weakness which is during Sleep.
I have had “SP” for 12 years now, Although they are not as bad as when I was younger. In my SP state I hear deep voices calling my name, weird tribal music, dogs barking, and maybe a war going on and people are hurting. I feel and hear a vibration buzzing sound as well.I have also seen dark figures beside my bed that poke my foot before I wake. Every time I wake, I feel frightened and believe someone is watching me and its evil! In this state I scream and cry and can see everything next to me, even my husband but, he doesn’t seem to hear me at all. I literally hate these dreams!
Last night I experienced SP at least 3 times during the shortnperiod of time from 1:55ish-3:00. At first I slept on my side, which I thought was most comfterable, next thing I know, I wake up 10 minutes later and I hear the screams of what sounded to be thousands of dying people, as I have experienced SP many times before, I tried not to panic and started to think of good thoughts as well as wiggling my toes and fingers which seemed to work none the less, but the thing that frightened me the most was that I tried falling asleep a couple of times after, but everytime I tried to fall asleep, I would feel my heart rate quicken and I knew that it was going to happened again, so I fell asleep a couple more times, each time I would wake up unable to move and hearing the screams of thousands of people.
Im 20. I’ve never had any previous sleep paralysis experiences until last night. (Although I have always been aware of it) I sleep in the basement of my grandparents house. At some point during the night I awoke while I was laying on my back. I started hearing a loud irritating noise coming from outside, it sounded like the wind in a hurricane or a tornado…it was just so damn loud. I started feeling a scary demonic kind of “vibe” or presence. My head began buzzing and if I closed my eyes it felt like something was trying to enter my mind or something. I tried to pray, but I couldn’t vocalize more than a syllable. I tried to get up but it felt like I was fighting something in order to do it. So I just layed there with my eyes open, frightened. When I finally slept I had nightmares the entire night and when I awoke in the morning I remember having a very vivid recollection of me thinking about getting a knife and killing my grandparents at some point in the night…God willing it never happens again.
I am a 33 year old Female who has experienced “sleep paralysis” since I was about 5 years old. It all started when I felt as though my body was being raised off my bed. I couldn’t move, but I could see who and what was around me. I could scream and cry for help, yet no one could hear me. I had had those same experiences throughout my childhood often. I didn’t tell anyone because I really didn’t know how to explain it. During this time it was only the feeling of being paralyzed and lifted into the air.
When I hit my teens about 15 years old that’s when other things started to happen. I began to hear voices screaming my name and those voices were usually men with deep voices. I would hear maybe a war going on and children and adults screaming in pain and terror. I would hear gun shots, dogs barking and creepy music that was either from the 40s that had a twisted sound to it and sometimes tribal drums or chanting/singing. I could also hear laughing and people talking as if they were having a small get together of some sort.At times I would wake up in the crunch position and my abs would be sore for weeks. Each time I came out of this sleep I would always feel like I was being watched and something evil was in my room close to me or in my closet. I would always be frightened. This would happen every few months maybe but, definitely not as much as I was as a child.
When I was about 25 I had woke up to a bright light that had maybe a bluish tint to it. My vision was more like tunnel vision. My bf at the time was by my side and I could feel him there. To the side of my bed I had seen 3 black figures about 4″ tall standing by my side. I began to scream but, no one could hear me, although, I could hear myself. One of the figures to my side had hovered what may have been its non existent hand ( weird I know I couldn’t actually see fingers just a dark mass) from the top of my head down to the bottom of my foot and all of a sudden I had the feeling of pressure on the bottom of my foot and I came out of it in a snap of a finger it seemed. I couldn’t believe or understand what was goin on. I still at this point in time hadnt said anything about it because I knew people would think I was insane. This certain experience only happened once.
Here I am 33 years old and I just had 2 episodes in one night a few nights ago. Before this I had about 5 in the passed 8 years maybe. I hardly ever have them anymore… Well, this last two I had a few nights ago were more of just being paralysed and hearing a buzzing sound that sent a vibration to my head. I felt as though I was dizzy like I was drunk. I began to scream for my bf that I could see right next to me but as usual I could only hear myself. I then seen my boyfriend get up and kiss me on my ear and walk out of the room and all of a sudden, I woke and he was right next to me a sleep. So, I rolled over trying to keep awake for a few minutes so I wouldn’t go back into “SP”. Once I closed my eyes and started to drift off I heard and felt the buzzing vibration again and I knew I was headed back. This time I let it go and just told myself its not real and it will be over soon. I then heard the usual screaming, creepy music, dogs barking ect. I’m getting pretty used to it but, the vibrations I can’t really handle!! One thing I did do this time that worked pretty well was, pray to Jesus and I’m agnostic…
I have since recently told my doctor about this and he had no clue of what I was talking about but, he gave me meds for night terrors witch don’t work much obviously. I have talked to mental health providers and they seem to think i have extreme anxiety. I have told my family and come to find out my 13 year old son is having them as well. I haven’t been clinically diagnosed I just have done some research and diagnosed myself with sp but, since my son has had them too, I’m wondering if it isn’t something more…. Maybe spiritual experiences?? I don’t know but, its strange to see that other people are in the same boat and have very similar experience’s.
Thank you for reading …..
My sleep paralysis usually happens in the morning when I wake up for a while then fall back asleep. I’ve gotten so used to this sleep paralysis thing so much I just lay there until it is over. What I find weird and scary even thought I know it’s coming is every time I have the sleep paralysis, right before I wake up , I hear a voice that always says something different in a different voice. This morning it was like a child saying ” I can’t hear you !!! I can’t hear you!! ” then I woke up. I know it’s coming but I still get scared. Thanks for reading ! What’s your story?
literally a couple minutes ago i went through sleep paralysis… i fell asleep at 12:10 p.m. and woke back up at 12:19 p.m. to the sound of a dog sniffing me and i thought it was my dog that got on the bed to sniff me but my door was locked and my dog was not in the room with me at the time. i then attempted to get up and shoo her away but then i noticed i was in paralysis i was fully awake and able to move my eyes i looked all around my room clearly seeing everything and whatever was there was still sniffing me and i attempted to move my head towards the direction of where the sound was coming from and i wasn’t able to because of the paralysis and when i attempted to prompt up in my bed during the event all i head was a loud screech in my head the more i made an effort to get up as soon as the pressure and noise got to loud to handle my body as if it knew what to do relaxed and just like that the sniffing and the all the pressure and sniffing went away but before the symptoms fully left i swear i saw something staring at me in the area in which i heard the sniffing….. and im writing all this at 12:34 p.m. after it all….
The first I went through sleep paralysis I heard my little sisters voice. You know how when in shows and so many people are talking to that person all the person hears is the echoes of everyone. That what I heard but only with my little sisters voice. Then When I tried to open my eyes I couldn’t. Then I tried to lift my arm but it was impossible. When when I noticed I was going through the sleep paralysis I remembered what I read on the internet once. It said when you finally notice your going through sleep paralysis try to move only your fingers. when I moved my fingers 3 seconds later I was awake. It wasn’t as scary because it was a voice I regognized and it was morning. So yea.
I haven’t had them for awhile I used to get them when I fall asleep on the couch after work..but recently I’ve been staying with my girlfriend at her house and she leaves around 7:30am in the morning I leave to work around 9:15am so I fall back to sleep when she leaves. ..and almost every time I hear a woman walking in the hallway sounding like she rubbing her hands together or like putting lotion on back and forth…then sometimes it comes close to my bed and I try hard to open my eyes ..I barely see but..nothing is there…it sure is a scary feeling
I have sleep paralysis about once a month. I’ve had it since I was a kid. Here are a few experiences
1. (hallucination) I saw a monkey-like creature at the end of my bed, it was making horrible noises. I could also hear a news reporter talking about the weather.
2.(hallucination) My desk with my laptop started moving from its origional position to my bed, while making a scraping sound across the floor. the leptop was clapping open and close, like a mouth.
3. (hallucination) My door opened with a large bang sound
Right now, when I feel paralysis, I try to stay calm and move my body/make sound. I can actually hear all the room noises too, like my mouth gorgling instead of talking, the bedsheets moving while paralized. I can’t see the movement.. very weird.It also hurts hen I move, a sharp pain
Sleep paralysis is a demonic attack. The first time I got my very FIRST and ONLY sleep paralysis attack was just AFTER I WATCHED A PRAYER VIDEO. True story.
I would have never believed fully that God was real unless I felt and experienced something spiritual to believe in God, who is a spirit.
God is a Spirit. Demons are also spirits.
After I got my bible and believed in the bible and repented of my sins and turn away from them, I never had it again for a 2nd time.
Pls repent. Pls repent, don’t let pride prevent you from getting help.
Get spiritual food by reading the bible and repenting and the demons will leave you alone.
They hate the Blood of the Lamb.
Its diffrent how this paralysis happens to me i hear a buzz sound and like a radio trying to turn on then i hear voices but i hear my dad trying to speak to me my dad past away almost 3 years now and my sleep paralysis started when he past away that same night he past away i could see him talk to him and almost feels so real when he hugs me but then i can hear my mom calling my name but ikno she not in the room and. Well its not always this nice sometimes i see bla k shadow telling me hurtfull things i pray in my sleep and bamm it gose away and i can wake up.
It’s crazy, most people that report what they hear, hear voices. I hear someone knocking at my door. It s never anyone there if I am able to shake n off the paralysis and get to the door. I practices breaking o it of it since I was a kid. I had bad nightmares growing up. It happens on rare occassions, usually I’m super tired when it does.
I just exp SP 20 mins ago and i found this web so i wanna share my exp . 20 mins ago i was sp and heard a crying lady . suddenly turned into evil laugh . it was so freakinnnn scaryyyyyyy . Okay thats all . oo yeah and There were sometimes when i was in sp i heard a voice said “hello ?” “Hai” its seems like the “thing” want to communicate with me.
I was lying in bed for ages, falling asleep. I was just staring at the roof when from the corner of the room I heard a gasp for air in a low voice. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever been through.
Shadow Cat
I don’t know if this was sp but I know that I couldn’t move. I was lying on a bed, low to the ground. And all these sillouettes of cats came walking around me for about 3 mins.. It wasn’t that scary.
Just woke up again, three times so far tonight due to sleep paralysis. This last one felt like someone was grabbing my hand and hearing voices saying ” do it, do it” with lightning sound but its not raining I also had visions of people’s faces I’ve never seen before.
i have sleep paralysis while taking a nap during my breaktime in school just sitting down a chair. i cannot move but what i heard is a group of men praying thr rosary! therefor sleep paralysis is not all the time scary but holy. i just want to know what this really symbolizes
I wasn’t awake but I wasn’t asleep I was in between I had sleep paralysis I couldn’t move at all I was dreaming that this dog Was barking and running It came to me and all of a sudden I heard screaming in my it was scary AF it was like as if someone was,getting murdered I freaked out moved my hand I finally got out of it I opened my eyes nothing was there with me my heart was racing fast
Well my first sp was last night and I wasn’t sure what it was exactly unti I googled it , well I’m a Christian and I’m 14 years old I live in a non safe place in DC so I like bear Trap Music and yea and I was on my way to a church event where u sleep over there and sing songs and have family time well I was in the car sleeping and I open my eyes and couldn’t moved I was trying to move my arms and couldn’t well I closed my eyes and I kept hearing whispering in my ear and I freaked out it wasn’t English i think it was a demon Bc it sounded weird and I woke up and was sweating I went back to sleep and it happened again what should I do ??
while sleeping, once I heard my parents speaking. I wanted to see what they were doing late night. But I unable to open my eyes and move by body.I struggled very hard for almost 30 seconds and opened my eyes. To my suprise they were sleeping.
Often, I experience sleep paralysis.
Once when I opened my eyes, I saw 3 black shadows behind my bed and the middle one threw something with very much anger not on me but to the wall in front.
Today, it was more interesting.
Someone was beating on my cheek just the way my mother does when I don’t wake up. It did not hurt me but it was annoying. So I tried to see who was that.
I understood that again I am experiencing sleep paralysis, struggled and finally opened my eyes. Similar scene! Both were sleeping.
The thing which I felt interesting was,for the first time, I was able to feel that things hand on my cheek.
Usually I sleep on my back. So I changed sleeping position but still I am experiencing it.
Initially I thought that I was feeling some demons presence but sometimes I hear some dialogues from movies I watched on that day.
first few experiences were frightening but now I am used to it.
I always have sleep paralysis like twice a week sometimes more and sometimes more then once per night.
Sometimes I hear foot steps getting closer to me, or I see strange moving creatures, someone talking to me in a strange language and dialects, or someone trying to harm me, feeling of someone approaching me, touching me, or sitting on me or besides me.
Tonight It was way over limits.. I got paralyzed in addition of all the sleep paralysis feeling i have I heard Very loud strange noises coming from all over the room with loud laughters, and people talking in strange this strange language and screaming, metal friction, Rusty gates opening and Doors Slamming
It was terrible I never experienced a sleep paralysis like this one …
I want to believe science but, but how can science explain that most people having the same experience from all over the world, hear the same voices, seeing the same creatures, feel the same way, and have exactly the same experiences ?
I wish this can Stop.. I am tired I am 31 now and have experienced this since my childhood
If someone Have a solution or clear explanation please contact me : nadim.younes@gmail.com
Thank You
Ive never experienced it before n when I wanted to try lucid dreaming n stuff I had to paralyse myself. So when I did it I could hear nothing but a noice of an old door continuously opening n closing I was so scared of it that I tried moving myself. I did move myself n as soon as I felt my hands again that noise stopped. Note that we got no old door n when we open the doors there comes no noise. So it was inside my head and the quality was perfect!! Like u listen to a high quality music with headphones. U get to live the music. Anyway I guess that was the start of my sleep paralysis? Bcz I moved my hands n the sound stopped.
I heard what seemed to be myself, my alter ego, whispering to me. Then again it might have just been a hallucination.
I usually got to sleep and occasionally have sleep paralysis. Well this time was way different i fell asleep and i was fully aware of my dream and i attempted to wake up. Well when i woke up i saw a girl standing in my closet and i tried to get up ,but was not able to ended up getting dragged back into sleep. It was weird i kept getting pulled into sleep. It rattled my brain like a vibration it felt weird but in a good way. This woman ended taking me into a grocery store. She was making me chase her. i ended up trying to wake up again and she stopped. that happened for at least an hour. it honestly felt like a week.
I woke up at 12am. I tried to sleep again and i couldn’t. But i tried again until 2:30am (that was long). And then i fell asleep. While sleeping i felt like my body was burning. Then i woke up i cobblestone move (sleep paralysis) and i heard a screams of many people. It felt like scream of dead (like in movies). Sleepparalysis ALWAYS happens to me but this is the 1st time i heard a voice. but iwasn’t sure if it was a scream
I always pray when I experience sleep paralysis that terrifies me. I don’t know if they’re demonic or not but when I feel afraid all I do is say a prayer or think of a prayer in my mind and I always break paralysis and wake up. Now if you are not religious or don’t have faith I do not know what else you could try. I would suggest to find faith in order to find peace in your sleep.
One of the reasons I firmly believe the voices are hallucinations is because they speak English in my dialect.
I haven’t heard the demon voice in quite some time. During a recent episode I saw a mosaic of pictures which appeared to be taken during various points in my life.
This was followed by a lucid dream where I was floating through a mansion. I was fully aware I was dreaming and was amazed at the details; it was like I was actually there. I floated up to the roof where I saw a cloaked figure facing away from me. When it turned around it was death. All I saw was the skull. It said to me “you will be pushed off a cliff at Yellowstone”. I know one national park I’m not going to.
I’ve experienced sleep paralysis several times, somettimes recurring. It started around when I was 17, and I don’t have it as often. For me, it usually begins with a pressure building in my head. Things become more vivid, and pressure intensifies. This night I decided not to fight it. And all these voices tried talking to me at once before they were interupted by a hellish scream, like a banchees scream, which woke me up instantly. I usually don’t have ones so terrifying, the last one that was like it, a Giant black dog, like pitch black that absorbs light, stared down at me, and it was terrifying. I think there is meaning in these ones, but I’m not sure what?
Sleep paralysis is an occurring thing for me. It usually happens during an afternoon nap whilst I’m laying on my back. I dont have any scary connection with the dream I just become paralysed and then I have to figure out a way to unparalyse myself by wiggling my toes and fingers. Although I did just experience a strange one where I wasnt completely paralysed my body felt like a stiff spring and I could slowly move but anyway I never hear any sounds except this time I heard a wasp and my mind is very aware during these so I knew I instantly needed to get up just incase there is a wasp inside but then it began to sound like the wasp was flying around frantically so I was like oh great the dog is chasing it so I panicked a bit because I still couldn’t move and when I thought my eyes were open because everything looked the same it would still be a dream even when I thought I had gotten up it was a dream (I’m guessing thats the start of a lucid dream). So the wasp noise sounded more like a swarm of wasps and then I felt like something dark was trying to take over so I battled that and eventually won and woke up and realised the animals were no longer on my bed which is very unusual to shortly jump back on my bed after. And I also woke up to find things open that werent open before and the washing machine coming up with an error and im unable to get clothes out of it. It all seems quite strange to me, maybe a coincidence? Who knows
I’m so relieved to hear that I am not the only one suffering from sleep paralysis. I have had my own friends telling me to go to a psychiatrist and I felt extremely stupid for even telling them!
If you’re readin this, please do not make fun of my experience because I’ve been through this and this experience has impacted my life in a very negative way.
My experience started off with a loud shout, sometimes a man’s voice or a woman’s voice calling my name. Every time that happens, I get up! Then things got worse, I’ve recently had horrible episodes back to back. This experience is just one instance – I remember first hearing the door shut, thats when I was awake, I hear sounds, footsteps and I knew I was in deep shit. I tried moving my fingers and toes, it didn’t help. While I was looking up towards the ceiling helplessly I saw a black thing move so fast to my bathroom next to my bed, I knew it was hiding. I closed my eyes and felt it coming close to me. I could even hear it breathing. It laid next to me and the worst shit was, it never spoke to me but it speaks to me in my mind. I can hear what it says. I then realised there were four entities with me, not one and they said in my mind, that the wanted to play with me and not be afraid. I can hear them whispering but I didn’t understand a word they were saying. It sounded like some foreign language. The other two watched, and the other two started touching me and they raped me. They took turns!! It was a very disgusting feeling coz everything felt so real! I hate these entities as they have taken a piece of me! I hope there’s a remedy to these occurrences. I guess we just need to have a stronger faith!
If anyone can give some advise to make it stop, I’d be very grateful.

This is not my first time experiencing sleep paralysis. I have had many experiences from when I was younger until now. Tonight has been the worst of all of them though. I was trying to sleep. I felt like I was starting to have a dream, but suddenly I felt something start gradually weighing down on me. I was laying on my side and chills came all over my body. Once this happened a deep voice which sounded like a man just kept saying la la la la in my ear getting louder and louder. As it got louder I felt my bed move slightly coming from behind me as if something or someone was leaning or sitting down behind me. My bed also made a noise as it does when I move, but i couldnt move so I know it wasnt me. I felt as though I was awake. I want to believe I was because the touch woke me up out of a very light sleep. In the past I have seen the cover move off of one side of my body and I have woke up and seen a dark figure at the foot of my bed. I’ve also had my bedroom door open on its own when everyone was asleep. I just want to know if I am dreaming or being haunted by a ghost. This is the worst incident I’ve had with this and its making me think maybe this isnt just my mind playing tricks on me. What should I do?
Last night I had this for the first time and it was terrifying. I was awake and asleep..I could hear someone crawling on the floor in my room and people talking, I could feel my head leaning against my bedside table too. I quite literally could not move when I tried to and could not speak. My tongue felt swollen in my mouth.I remember trying to wake up properly to stop the nightmare I was in and yet also knowing I was in bed, the nightmare was on a repeating loop? I eventually did move slowly and tried to record my thoughts which were incoherent today when I listened to the playback.
I had my first experience with sleep paralysis about 10 minutes ago. I was waking up and realized I couldn’t move, I started struggling, but decided against it because I didn’t want to strain anything just in case. I started hearing this buzzing sound kind of like white noise and talking was being muffled by it. After a while I manged to to move my toes and thumbs for some reason and then I could move again.
I’ve experienced sleep peralisis way more than everyone I know, but only 2 of my sp dreams were creepy to me I’ll share. After looking through the comments everyone’s sp experiences are about the same but I haven’t seen a single one relatable to mine.
1. After waking up one day sleeping in my moms room (when I was like 7 or so) I realized I couldn’t move I was terrified because that was my first so experience, after looking through the open door for 30 seconds a giant praying mantis peeks through the door and sits there. After a bit I see my brother peek his head out from behind the mantis (that was my real brother not one made from my dream) my brother walks up to me and starts pushing on me. I try to scream but all that comes are are gurgles, my brother says what I can’t hear you? Then says I know your awake your eyes are open. He finally woke me up and I told him all about it but he didn’t believe me until I showed told him to look up sleep peralisis
2. By far the scariest one I’ve had when I was 13 I woke up then quickly realized I was experiencing sp at this point I’ve actually started liking sp because it was so interesting so I decided to sit through it, but very quickly I realized I made a mistake, I see white eyes looking through my door at me, and I realized I did not want to see this so I sneezed my eyes to wake up but it didn’t work. it always worked before, I didn’t understand. Then I see something that looks like static shaped like a man climb on my roof and stop right above me. Then I spun it’s head around and stared at me. Then I started hearing the static noises from a tv getting louder then going silent. After about 15 minutes of that it jumped at me and I woke up.
It happened againðª….I just come home from the guy and it was around 8:45 and I did everything I do every night before I go to sleep and it was very hot and I decided to open my window and I told myself before I go to sleep close the window stupid me I forgot and I ended up falling asleep and I woke up and I completely was frozen I couldn’t talk I couldn’t move and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest I couldn’t breathe at once and I was trying to see what was on me but I couldn’t see anything all I seen was a tall man come through my bed room window he was tall and I can’t see his face I call him the shadow man cause it was like he was standing in the shadows he had a long trench coat on and a hat he was dressed like kinda back in the days like a mobster I was scared it was Like I could hear him saying stuff as he would stand there and watch me I eventually woke up sweating like crazy and outta breath
21st of June 2016, 1:54 a.m.
I’m currently living alone at the house and didn’t realize I would end up being a victim in one of these playful creatures. I was sleeping lying on the side, my eyes suddenly opened, feeling suddenly cold, I tried to turn over to the other side, but my body was unexpectedly feeling heavy. I want to move but alas, I was unable to and only my eyes can move.
I tried looking sideways, I got caught a glimpse of a long haired skinny pale figure wearing a black dress standing beside my back. I got the feeling that it was staring down at me, grinning. I forced my body to move to see what is it.
Seeing that I can move a little, I realized that the figure was a bit flustered. I still tried to move the second time, but the worst thing just happened, my whole body was completely paralyzed this time. The figure lied down next to me and my body felt like it was lying down on ice.
With the clock in front of me, my body going under cold sweat, I realized I was paralyzed for the whole 15 minutes, 2:10 a.m. The figure itself started laughing and closing in on me. I felt its hand creeping from my back, then to my throat. It reached to the point of strangling me, I want to scream for help but I’m rendered motionless, unable to speak.
Seeing the situation, the figure slowly moved its hand to into my mouth, forcing my out open. Slowly after, I can still hear its laughter and feel that its hand is slowly entering inside my throat, apart from me wanting to scream, all I can do is let out a “hah.!? hah.. haah…”, choking and with tears started flowing out my eyes, I tried looking down, I can only saw the arm, meaning that the hand is already inside my body! With how things going badly, my body feeling the weight and pressure of being suffocated and the feeling of unexplained situation, I decided to give up. I fainted after that situation.
2:35 a.m., I regained my consciousness, my body was drenched in sweat, my throat completely dry and my eyes completely hurt, looking at the surroundings, the mounted clock in front of me fell down to my desk, my family picture was tilted downwards. I wanted to stand but my body was completely drained out of strength, I decided to sit, only to saw my slippers that was suppose to be next to my bed, dragged near the door filled with hair strands (Do note, I am living alone, right now).
Freaked out under the creepy realization, that this is much bigger than I thought, seeing that I had no choice… I forced my sleep again and wait for my alarm clock to wake me up.
As of right now, I still am not feeling my usual self. I feel like something happened after I fainted, I just don’t know what it is, should I be even concerned?
All in all, I would really want to tell that my mind is under severe confusion right now as I usually don’t believe this stuff that much as I take things logically under valid reasoning, until I seen it myself (To see is to believe). That being said, I have experienced it within the said date and the creature is almost similar to the attached photo, the only difference is that I can clearly see the figure and not just a shadow. This situation has rendered my completely damn speechless, unable to explain the situation itself nor tell it to anyone.
Curious, freaked out and having severe goosebumps, taking this to a positive way, I could just say that this one is one hell of a thrilling experience where I wish, I wouldn’t want to happen again!
I’ve had two episodes recently. The first I was laying in bed facing a wall with my back to the rest of my room. I woke up, couldn’t open my eyes, talk or move and I hear something rustling the sheet behind me. Then I feel something pressing down on the bed. Like a person was leaning over me to whisper in my ear. Then I heard whispers that I couldn’t understand. I began to recite the Lord’s Prayer and slowly after saying it several times I was able to jerk my body awake. The most recent episode, I was dreaming of a shadowy figure hanging from a wall, and I heard whispers that this shadowy figure eats human flesh. After a few moments it lunged at me, then I awoke in sleep paralysis. And I kept hearing something whispering my name. And then it said “It’s your turn”.
It happened two nights ago, this isn’t anything new. I always see this man but this time it was different, he wasn’t in my room this time, he was outside my window. And since I can always feel the sleep paralysis coming I tell my self that “it’s not real. I’m okay, no ones there” I say. So I said this over and over in my head and I tried so hard to move even if it was my fingers. I glanced around and no one was in my room, okay great I thought. But as soon as I glanced at the window there he was, knocking. And this knocking started off as light and short but then I saw him gesturing to open the window. His empty eyes glowing and hands shaking. Tears ran down my cheeks because honestly I scare easily. You’d think I’d be used to this but I’m not. I need help..
it was my 12th birthday and i had gone out to the mall with my grandma and we went to the food court to eat. I was just letting my eyes roam around and i saw this guy who looked like he was part of a motorcycle gang and on the back of his shirt it said “say you love satan.” I thought it was weird and i completely forgot about it later. That night, i had a dream that i was floating above myself, looking down at myself sleeping in bed. Then suddenly that image of the shirt that guy was wearing came into my mind and like my dream self slammed into my real self and i opened my eyes, but my body couldn’t move, and i could CLEARLY hear a voice, and it was such an icy voice, whispering from the doorway “say it, say it, say it” and at first it was slow and dragged out every letter, and i remember i was so scared and i kept saying “no” in my head, and i was trying so hard to move my fingers, and tears were starting to swell in my eyes, and it got harder to breathe. Every time i refused, it would get louder and start saying “say it” faster until it was chanting it, and i guess my body started to work again because i managed to say “no” out loud and i said it like 5 more times and then the voice disappeared. I was able to sit up and i wondered if i was dreaming or not. Luckily, this happened around 5 during the summer so i could see the light outside and i just stayed up and read my book and the birds outside calmed me down. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about that experience.
So I’ve had sleep paralysis several times, but this was the scariest thing. I was probably 15 or 16, and I KNOW I was not dreaming. Generally in sleep paralysis, you wake up and can’t move, speak, or anything. Well, there was that, but there were voices too. The strange thing was that it wasn’t English, it was in a language that I didn’t recognize. I took a couple of years of Latin in high school and it sounded similar to that, but I could never say for sure. The bed sank down beside me, like someone crawled in. Everything in me wanted to scream, but of course I couldn’t. Eventually, I was able to move and I sprinted to the living room. I stayed up the rest of the night watching television with all of the lights on.
Just now i woke up from a nightmare and sleep paralysis. As I was in paralysis, I heard screams coming form my bedside table. It was quite disconcerting.
A couple of nights ago i had sleep paralysis and this one was very different from all my other experiences i could hear my mums voice screaming at my brother like he was getting into trouble but the longer she screamed for the louder it got. and sometimes when i get sleep paralysis it feels like someone is pulling me off my bed but it feels like my bed is never-ending when this happened.
could someone please help me out here thanks. i am only (14) yo nd have been experiencing sleep paralysis all my life so far
years before this happend me once in that time while i cant move for while i heard a song like halaluya before i wake up i saw a priest with wings and he said youre ready then i fall down and flew before i hit the ground and felt wings growing in my back it was really lucid. while paralysing i screamed but no sign of my voice and i said “i don’t want it and someone plz help me” in my mind after this body started moving i was really scared and shoked and jumped off my bed turned on the light and run into my parents room i want to know if it was sign of these years suffering i suffered a lot my parents started to beat veryhard and kick me out when theyre mad nowhere to go(manytime) almost committed suicide manytime i tried to but knew that myself that im coward this the story of my sleep paralysis
We’ll I’ve been having these sense I was about 16 I am not 19 and it 5:23 and I went into my sp and I felt it coming on so as I thought if I moved I would lock up and in fact I did and I started to hear voices in my head but it sounded like my own like myself was trying to tell me something important I just couldn’t figure what? But I read some other comments to see if it matched up and I did eat a lot earlier (meat) and I’m still kinda full also my body was in this L shape so maybe I do need to let me blood run thinks for understanding folks are no help
It was about 4am when I had finally gone to sleep I had this dream of watching a video and this girl with huge ass eyes creeping aside someone it didn’t scare me but as soon as her eyes got closer to the camera all the sudden I start hearing this ringing and while that’s happening I can’t move or try to scream because my whole body felt as if it was paralyzed after that I thought I had woken up but I didn’t and the image came back and went back into that state and then I hear a guy laughing and that’s when I woke up
Had a nightmare that had to do with my room and spiders again, but at the end of my dream I said something like “I’ll just ask the Devil” and I ‘woke’. Everything was dark but I was very aware, and there was a really loud hissing / fiery burning sound in my left ear. After that I properly woke up from my nap,and now my back feels a bit weird… :c
When I was young about 12 or 13 years old I experienced my first and only sleep paralysis. At the time I had no idea what sleep paralysis was so my experience was really frightening. I was staying over my best friends house and was asleep on his couch.I woke in the morning and his father was in the dining room on his laptop.I tried falling back asleep, and right when I was going to fall asleep I head a voice in my right ear in a creepy deep whisper say “eric, eric, eric”. Right when I heard the voice my arms flew on top of my chest and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest and I couldn’t move. I opened my eyes and saw a hairless man in a black suit starring at me. When I say hairless I mean no head hair, no eye brow hair, no beard/ mustache. I tried to scream but the nothing came out. The only thing I could move was my eyes. I closed my eyes hoping that the man would go away. When I opened them again he was even closer to me. At this point he looked different than a human but similar to one at the same time. He still hadn’t said one word and there was no facial expressions on his face just a blank stare. For some odd reason I kept staring at him and I thought for sure I was going to die (I still had no clue what was going on). From one moment to another he blinked and his eyes turned completely black. I pretty much shit myself and closed my eyes. I felt my heart beating extremely fast and I tried to calm myself down because I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I laid there with my eyes closed for what seemed like an eternity. I finally opened my eyes again and his eyes and he was on my chest face to face with me. I was scared shitless but was relieved that his eyes were back to normal. I decided to close my eyes again because there was nothing else I could do. I was fighting my hardest to try and move and still no luck. I opened my eyes again and this time he was at the door way that lead into the kitchen. He was still staring at me, He said some crazy thing in a weird language and the only thing I remember is the word “terrus”. His grin then turned into a smile and he walked out the room. 5-10 mins after that I was able to move again. Scared out of my mind I ran into the dinning room and asked my frinds dad if he saw anthing. He said he didn’t see anything. I told him what happened and he honestly looked at my like I was nutts. Creepiest and most disturbing part about my experience is that later on that day we found out that my friends fathers sister was married to a guy names eric. He died at 10:43 in the morning. A couple of minutes before that whole thing happened to me. Mind you that I never met the eric or had any connection to him. Everytime I thing about that morning I still get creepedone out. Because of the experience I only sleep on my side since most people who experience sleep paralysis sleep on their back like I was that day on the couch
I’m not sure but it’s so weird and confusing sometimes I open my eyes I see things while hearing indescribable mumbling or words. Just right now it got so close to a point where I was breathing hard and shaking someone was laying next to me on my bed my dogs weren’t in my room I was alone something was telling me to help them it was a girl she was touching my back she then laughed and said “he’ll probably cry” then disappeared. Normally I hear something evil laugh and I pray in my head but nothing happens a couple nights ago I got home exhausted from work I knocked out and woke up to something trying to get in my mouth and I was fighting back but I was paralyzed i saw it crawling up my bed it was like idk it was glowing white but it wasn’t good it was a man and I heard laughing and something else was telling me something while the man thing was fighting to get in me I felt it I felt it all idk but inside of me like my soul idk but I was terrified idk if this is normal or is it just me or what is happening but I’m scared to sleep
Sleep pAralysis
There is not a feeling of a weight pressing down on me – as I have read in most articles about this kind of episode. I am usually having a dream. I go through some stages (1,2,3). In stage one I am 100% in the dream whether it be good or bad. I can recall bad dreams in this process as well as just … Odd. In stage 2 I am half way between sleep and waking. I am suddenly aware that I am asleep but I can’t be completely aware because there is this lack of reality in sleep paralysis during this stage. While the dreamer may be aware that they are asleep, they are unable to realize that this is just another sleep paralysis. At the same time, I am aware that this is sleep paralysis. It seems difficult to understand. The emphasis of attention lies in getting out of the paralysis. It is sheer panic. You cannot breathe. And while you are somewhat aware of what is happening, it does not ever provide comfort as to how to make it stop.
During stage two I become aware of my options:
I always AlWAYS during sleep paralysis face the option of letting it happen or getting out. I have, up to this point chosen to get out even though I have almost let it take over a few times. My curiosity lies in what would happen if I just trusted it. Once I began to let it happen while trying to sit up in the bed. I was able to see the entity at that point – he was a harmless old man – just looking closely at me.
It is difficult to explain how one can accept it while attempting to sit up instead of resisting it. I can only explain that I have accepted it as an introduction to an OBE. Hence the reason that it is so uncomfortable – separation from the body. However, I wonder if I will be brave enough to go further as this is truly in some connection to our spirit realm.
Stage 1: I wake up. Like an explosion. It is an overwhelming effort to scream and breathe and move and kick and do anything to alert my partner to my distress. If I am ever woken it is because I am screaming out
Another thing:
I often – almost every time – hear voices during paralysis. One of the first times this happened it came with hallucinations. I am able to stay In Paralysis while I listen to these voices but again – it is a choice. The longer I stay, the more prolonged the distress. However, I have become aware of these episodes to the point that I am curious as to what they have to say. I always hear voices.

So i was sleeping and I’m not to sure if it was a dream or not but i was being held down and i felt like something heavy was on me. I couldn’t move or scream or do anything. I was scared after a while more pressure kept getting put on i felt like something was staring at me with this really evil look and couple seconds later it starts growling. I couldn’t move so i told myself move many times and a soon as i moved the pressure was gone but my leg felt really numb. I couldn’t sleep after this happening. Because i wasn’t to sure if it was a dream or it really happen. So i was scared to go back to sleep.
it happen the night I slept over at my best friend house because she was alone and there apartment is mostly pitch black at night which is frightening. We slept in the living room. It was almost 2:00am in the morning already. My friend was already sleeping while I couldn’t. I decided to watch some YouTube stuff and doze off. In the next hour my best friend and I woke up hearing random loud pounding at her door and other people apartment door. She decided to open the door instead of looking at the peek-hole. She asked “Is anyone there?” no response. I quickly told her to close the door because no one there and i no know one is up this late knocking at people door at this time. So we went back to sleep and i started to feel a hand going up my neck chocking the life out of me. It felt like i was stuck in coffin box. I couldn’t move more then 3-4 inches lifting my hands and feet. I started to growl a little and my friend woke up and said “are you okay” and I woke up screaming. I couldn’t sleep the next 30 mins. I had to move in close to my friend so I can get comfort. I stayed in one position for so long because i was so terrified of getting sat on. Later on that night after my accident. I heard knocking again. This time it was just me hearing this pounding knocking at the door. Ignored it and tried to fall to sleep and nothing happen that night. I would wake up every hours.
One early morning I woke up, couldn’t move, and I thought my little sister was calling to me. I tried to tell her that I couldn’t move but all I could get out of my mouth was an inaudible murmur. I couldn’t open my eyes either. So finally, when my paralysis loosened it’s clutch, I opened my eyes and saw no one was there. And that wasn’t just one time. Multiple times it had happened. Sometimes like three times in one night! What a horrifying, yet exilerating, experience!
Hi, I’m back again to tell you about a theory I used to have before I read this article. One night, I had this really creepy dream about a woman getting a shot after an anxiety attack. Weird, right? As soon as the shot pierced her skin, darkness washed over me. I struggled to get my eyes open. After just a few seconds, they managed to open. I was in my bed, lying there, just as most of you have before you realize you are paralyzed. My muscles we frozen, locked in place. I struggled to keep my eyes open. It was like something was trying to drag me back to a dream. Finally, I could no longer fight what was dragging me in. I dreamt once more. This happens two more times. Waking up paralyzed, and fighting what drags me back into dreams. When dawn arrived, I rose from my bed. I began to think about what had just happened to me during this midnight horror. At last, a theory came to me! Here it is: There is another dimension of which creates and controls you in your dreams. I call it, Dimension D.(D standing for dreams;) This dimension was what pulled me into more paralyzing dreams. No matter how hard I fought it, I could not resist it’s strength. But this, however is not true. I am one of science, I relish in the facts and the theories that make up our world. So I thought making a theory about this interesting qwerk. No matter the truth, still think this theory could be slightly valid. Scientists are still discovering new dimensions every day. Go science life! Thanks so much for reading!

Well, for now I can’t think of anymore, but if you can please comment! Hope this helps in a humorous way!
My most recent one last night. Had a late night and went to use my bathroom. It has an automatic light. I watched some youtube videos until the light turned off. A couple minutes later it turned on by itself, the door was closed but I could see the light from the bottom. I shook it off to be a fault, fly, or mice and closed my eyes at around 3am. I had the window open for a little moonlight. Shortly after I awoken to find the room completely dark with no moonlight. I instantly knew that I was in another SP episode. I’ve had dozens before this one, and I knew to try and wiggle my toes. But I kept drifting off to a dream state where I thought I was wiggling them but was actual not. I was pretty calm, knowing that it aas just another episode. Things started gettig a bit scary when I started to hear loud machine noises and chains dragging across the floor. I wasnt scared to death, but was still slitely frighten. Ive had worst SP experiences before. The noises only happened once for 10 secs. i layed there still paralyzed for I do not how long in the complete darkness or my room. I then hear a voice, female voice, whisper in my left ear. It was either how can i help you, or how do you want me to help. It dis not sound evil but it was still a voice. i tried to open my eyes and wiggle my hands and toes once again. My eyes were open, i could see the moonlight, i knew i was awake. But i was still paralyzed and my eyes barely opened. My fingers kept wiggling and wiggling to keep myself awake. I tried pushing out words but always became short of breath. All i could get out were moans. I continue for however long and went back to sleep. I awoke later, unparalyzed. I can see yhe moonlight in my room again, but to double check that it is reality i grab my phone and start browsing youtube. I turnes on my room lamp and left it on for the night until the sun finally came up at 7am. Tonight i didnot even sleep till 6am, and i had my lamp on the whole time. I only slept for 4 hours. I cant go two days in a row with SP. one day i feel like i might talk back to the voices or face them, but that might be the day when they whatever they are either become real, or just a fignation of my imagination. But i dont know if i want to take that risk yet.
I have had this since I was 14. I had a lot during my teens…I get a few a year now in my mid 30s..I don’t believe in god whatsoever, but it’s always demons. Sometimes they are nice and give me a massage, but mostly they talk shit in my ear. Majority of the time they just make noises. Last night one was behind my head snarling at me. I could hear it, feel it breathing on the back of my head. I actually woke up and thought it was my dog. Sometimes I try to yell and I’m shaking and gurgling, but in reality I’m not moving at all. Idk why it’s always demons. It’s so annoying and lame. A lot of times I’m elevating up or off my bed. I can always break it at anytime if I become aware…just shake my head and I’ll wake up. May not work on everyone, but works every time for me
So I’ve had sleep paralysis a few times before, about a week ago i had another episode different from the rest. I fell asleep on my couch and i remember hearing my front door open and close. I open my eyes and can only make out the clothed legs walking towards me on the couch. I then realize i was unable to move or speak. Whatever it was sat next to me on the couch and said, “We need tools to fix your car.” I figured that this had to be my sister cause no one else would walk in and talk about that. Meanwhile im trying to get some words out and all i can say is “Help.” It then proceeds to get up and walks over to my tv stand and looks through it. At this moment i noticed it is not my sister, she was too short, looked more like a child than anything. She was dressed in black pants and a black shirt and had black matted hair, and I could not see her face from the way she was facing. She asked me, “What has happened to you Andre?” while she was rummaging through my stuff. I then closed my eyes, opened them and it was all normal, i could move, i could speak and whomever was gone. The feeling of fear was not present this time. Definitely something i will remember forever.
A couple of years ago I experienced SP. I remember it very vividly but I can’t remember anything else about the day. I came home from work and fell asleep. I have no idea how long I was asleep but I remember laying on my back and seeing a large figure beside me in a gray cloak. No face shown or anything. I just remember laying there not being able to move and looking at this figure. I felt a sense of fear but mostly I was trying to wake up and move. All of a sudden I heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen. It was the sound of pots and pans crashing onto the floor.. As if they were hanging from the ceiling. That’s what startled me and I was able to get up. As I got up I couldn’t tell if the noise was real or not. I got up and walked into the kitchen and of course there were no pots or pans on the floor. It was so surreal. To this day, that experience is burned into my memory and I can still hear the noise and see the figure. I haven’t had a SP experience since.
Sleep paralysis is a common thing for me lately, it happens to me mostly when I’m alone in the morning time and I try to go back to sleep. Yesterday morning I fell into three times total. I always try to keep my eyes closed, to avoid any visuals even though I know they’re not real. When I fell into sleep paralysis the first and last time, I heard the usual buzzing and I wiggle my toes and tongue to get out of it. The second time I heard the usual buzzing but I heard an unfamiliar mans voice over the buzzing and he was counting “1, 2, 3, 4, 5..” And then from what I remember I snapped out of it. It was creepy at the time now I’m interested. I’ve been really interested in astral projection lately and have been wanting to do it but I’ve been to chicken and I wonder if maybe he was helping me or it’s just my head?? Idk?? Lol but the second time was this morning and I knew it was coming and this time I heard many voices at once and it was so loud and was annoyed and creeped out.
Well i have to say that i found a way to control sleep paralysis, i had my last one 4 hours ago, it always starts by loud noises in my head, so i reached a level were i can directly know and say to my self “this is sleep paralysis” so i focus on my pulling my head off the pillow, whatever i try with my hands and legs its uaeless, so focus on the head, now i always succeed to wake up before reaching the level of seeing the room and strange creatures
I’m not religious at all and I never think about God or do I ever pray. I don’t think about spirits, demons or anything of the matter. Ive had Sleep Paralysis happen before, maybe 6 times in my entire life (I’m 27). The past Sleep Paralysis moments I was fully awake but juset couldn’t move nor talk, I would try to move my head until it finally stopped about a minute later.
The experience I just had (2:30 am) truly has frightened me.. I woke up into the Paralysis and tried to move my head like I have before to snap out but this time I felt my eyes being forcefully shut and the best I can describe is feeling forced to be put back into sleep when I didn’t want to. I saw a blinking notification light on my cell phone sitting on the night stand next to me and I just focused my eyes onto that trying to keep my eyes open. I then heard a very low dark sounding laughter that lasted a good 5 seconds all the while being completely awake and aware, and then as soon as the laughter stopped I was able to move. Again I’m not religious by any means and I don’t think about “spirits or demons” at all so I don’t see how my brain would be “hallucinating” these meaningless things to me.. I’m 27 years old and I had to get up and turn on the light (first time in 20 years…) actually being frightened by something I can’t understand. I heard this laughter clear as day in my EAR not in my head.. I was reading a few comments above me and as some of them seem farfetched there were a few that had a link with my situation. For the first time this year I went to sleep with my window open because it’s started to cool down and the air felt nice. I live in Nevada so there’s no winds, I didn’t hear whistling of a breeze or anything like that. If anyone was to read this that is certain it’s just a symptom from the Paralysis I’m sure theyre thinking “bullshit” like I was when reading some of the comments above. But I’m sharing what happened and what I heard..
I didn’t see any figures, didn’t feel like something was laying on me like some have said, just the regular Paralysis of not being able to move and speak.. If I honestly thought this was just a symptom “hallucination” from the paralysis (which normally Im the type to always point to scientific explanations to anything “supernatural) then I wouldn’t have bothered typing this out. But being my first paralysis in over a few years and the 1 night I open my window, and the first time actually hearing something along with the paralysis just seemed all too real..
I woke up on the couch, like at 2:00 in the morning because I could hear men’s voices. All the lights were turned off but I still could c a bit. I slowly moved my head to were the voices were, and I froze. I could see two men, But they were like shadows, it’s really hard to explain,they were completely black like shadows, but they were not shadows. They were upstairs looking at a cuboard. That cuboard wasn’t there before, and it was a shadow like the men. They were looking through it, I I heard one of them say “we’re is it”. I had cold sweat by then then I realised there was someone asleep next to me. I thought it was my dad so I was relieved because he could of got up and called the police, but then I realised it was my brother, who is 9. I tried waking him up any way so I was quietly shaking him but he wasn’t waking up DX. Then I herd the shadow men walking down stairs. I started to quietly panick and I was covered in sweat. They walked past me and went into the kitchen. I was 100% awake and I heard them open the cuboard. I think that’s when I passed out and fell asleep. Idk if they were robbers, but they were different from normal people. They were shadows ):
I was about nine and I was on the couch watching tv when I fell asleep. All of a sudden I felt cold and out in the open. I opened my eyes and realised I was in a forest behind my yard. I freaked out then realised my dad and brothers were there. They were dead quiet and pale. Turns out there was a man with a gun in our house. He ended up being tazered by the police, because he was attacking them with a torch. About a year later, we were pulled over on the high way by the police because our taillight was broken. Turns out that was the exact same police that tazered the man with the gun in our house :3
This was at the house id just moved from- the kids were sleeping for a good hour and a half, i was getting stuff cleaned up and putting the towels away. The husbsnd is watching a show but i couldn’t hear the tv loud down our long hallway at the very end is the linnen closet.i felt a patting on my lower back a child laughing loud i was telling the kids go back to bed dont scare me lol i do a circle no one’s there i still feel a kid messing with me…..ð²..i open the doors all 3 are out cold* …i went and sat down in the living room pale as a sheet petrified-it was almost trance like as the child messed with me it felt cold*
I believe that hallucinations are essentially parts of your subconscious brain that are usually not seen because the ego filters what is perceived as real or not “real” anyway I do have some crazy stories, I have pretty regular sleep paralysis and it’s probably not healthy but the hallucinations are crazy. Recently my hallucinations have consisted of only sounds and voices, I can’t see a person or being I just sense a presence. It’s usually a woman, one time petting my head almost in a motherly way whispering “wake up my darling” I live alone btw, and then just this morning the same voice but more aggressive sounding exclaiming “it only took you two minutes to find me in here now get it out, let it all out”, a few weeks ago I heard footsteps of a man walk to my bed and felt the pressure of him on top of me “holding” me down, laughing as if the being enjoyed my fear but it was all just a feeling the entire time i was staring at my ceiling or closing my eyes telling myself not to look and to ignore it. I used to have visual hallucinations but when I got used to it and stopped “looking ” they just got loud. It’s crazy what can be tucked away into your subconscious. I have a theory that psychiatric patients or people with disorders or who have suffered traumatic events suffer from sleep paralysis more so than other people because the subconscious is more active, there’s more information and the defense mechanisms against these things are weakened due to the extensive use of them, hiding not just normal subconscious thoughts but extra traumatic and unsettling thoughts, memories, and/or ideas from the conscious functioning mind
The other day, I purposefully attempted to induce Sleep Paralysis because of my fascination for the astral realm. I tried and got successful results, I was so happy to make it to this point, that I accidentally got out of this state. I told myself that I would try again tomorrow. The next night rolls around, and I have my second attempt. I take all necessary steps to self-inducing Sleep Paralysis and I just began to think about images in my head. One of these images was a young boy with brown spiky hair, wearing a black t-shirt. I tried to image this image for a while, to see if it would help in the attempt of causing my Sleep Paralysis. And, well, it worked. Not how I expected it to however. I had the auditory effect like normal (strange buzzing), and that wouldn’t have been bad if it wasn’t paired with the new image of the now distorted boy that invaded my mind.
It happened around a month ago. I woke up suddenly around 3:30 in the morning from a nightmare and was breathing heavily unable to move. No, I felt I couldn’t breathe. I heard a voice saying “You move around a lot don’t you.” Then it went away and I could move again.
I decided to not get back to sleep as I was terrified. Around an hour later it happened again. I couldn’t move and a young, childish voice asked, “can you do a favour for me?” And it stopped. I didn’t go back to sleep that morning.
A few weeks later it happened again but around 7 in the morning. I saw two eyes in a galaxy like scene in front of me, one blue, one purple. I was unable to move again. That was the last time. Now I’m scared to go to sleep every night but it hasn’t happened again and I hope it stays that way.
I experience sleep paralysis a lot. It started about 3 years ago. Some experiences are very intense where I’m in my room in the dark unable to move and there’s demons attacking me viciously. Sometimes they have long nails and tear into me. Other times it’s just black presences suffocating me. At times it has disguised itself as the person laying next to me my partner/ a friend etc and the face will distort and attack me. Once it was sitting on my chest in the form of a man I had never seen before. He told me his name was Nathaniel and he was a demon.. I hear evil laughing a lot and over the years I’ve become bolder and laugh back at it. I say prayers and tell it to leave in Jesus name. Once it was a black wolf that attacked me and there was a white wolf sitting outside the window watching. I’m a child of God and I know that he wouldn’t let any evil thing hurt me. I don’t know why I experience it so much but it affects my life horribly. I feel comfort in knowing that other people experience the same things as bad as it is.
I’m an Islander boy at the age of 19. A few of months back I never thought this sleeping paralysis was real till I experienced it myself. Anyways every Saturday’s my friends and I will always have the same routine, its church then we would go and play basketball at a gym.
A few months back I have never felt so drained after a game of basketball, it was the first time I felt really tired after a game of ball. It would probably be midnight at the time when I had arrived home, went straight to my room and was dead asleep. After a while I thought I had been dreaming, just my spiritual body being lifted in the air and seeing my physical body still in bed. It was weird for me but I realized I wasn’t dreaming at all. I tried screaming out, I tried moving my hands but nothing was happening. I heard people screaming from a distance, it was coming closer and closer to my body and knowing that I was so scared I tried to wake myself up. I cried out asking for help and I suddenly woke up.
Ever since that night I prayed and prayed for protection and a sign.. Nothing has happened to me since and I’m glad. I don’t want to experience it ever again.
Every night I went to bed last year or took a nap I’d have SP, I almost went to a doctor to get like sleep meds for it because it was an every day thing. I haven’t had it in a while since last year, but last night I had it & it was the first time I heard voices. I could hear someone whispering in my ear from behind me saying “he’s going to die.” I instantly went back to bed because it’s easier going back to bed than trying to wake up from it. I have been thinking about the SP all today & what it means…
It happened when I dozed off having woken up once before, I couldn’t open my eyes. And I could here loads static, and voiced sounded like a conversation on a walky talky, I also could here propellers, once I woke up after about 2 mins. There was a helicopter flying past my house. It sounded like I was in the helicopter. But I obviuously wasn’t
I just had my first time and it was so heart racing I remember waking up because im sick and my mom wanted to know if I was going to school or not , I slowly fell asleep and my whole body was stuck I tried screaming for my mom and I remember what time she leaves to drop my vousin at school 7:30am and I fell asleep close to that time and my body was stuck i tried screaming and noyhing I remember opening my mouth so hard and I did but nothing and before I woke up I remember hearing a whisper “I’m talking to you” this felt like a long long time it must have beem 5 minutes because i remember trying yo fall asleep during the paralysis and I woke up it was 8 like time passed really fast it felt like 30 seconds
I’ve had a few things happen to me during night
First time feb 2016 I was sleeping in a hotel, I used to sleep with the window part open cause it was too hot, I remember being asleep I started to have a nightmare about a woman dressed in white she followed me down a long dark hallway she chased me, then I heard a thump thump thump and a door being slammed it felt so real so I woke up scared as fuck
Second time July 2016
I was asleep on a couch and my cousins bed was at the other end I woke up bout 3 ish stared into the dark I saw a transparent whitish shadow of like a little 2 or 3 year old boy and I knew it wasn’t something real he was just watching us sleep me being the first time seeing something like that I ran and jumped on my cousin scared as then it glided to the other end of her bed
Since then I always have strange scary dreams seriously mainly every damn night one time I was in a dream not knowing that everyone was worshipping the devil and we were trying to escape
Last night
I was dreaming as per. Lying in bed sleeping something whispered in my ear, do you want a drink of water? Like what the fuck can anybody please explain ð¬
It always happens when I have just fallen asleep, I wake up paralysed, then start to shake to snap out of it and always hear people bracking into the house it’s horrible. My wife is a literary sleeper so she knows is I start to (fit) she wakes my body up.
My first time experiencing sleep paralysis was about a week and a half ago and it scared me so bad I heard evil voices and before I got up all I saw were two bright blue eyes as if I was staring at them and everything else was black.
My 2nd experience was earlier today and it wasn’t as bad I just wasn’t able to move and somehow I was able to fight it off before I fully fell asleep it wax really strange.
About thirty minutes ago I woke up from my third sleep paralysis experience and it was the strangest of them all so well I thought I was awake I was hearing a lot of voices some were friends others I didn’t know but the wird part was before I woke up I just heard someone saying “what did you say?” I heard it about three times and I was trying to talk and I woke up saying what.
I don’t know what causes this but it is not fun what so ever. if anyone has any information on sleep paralysis please let me knoe because I want to find an underlying cause for why I may be experiencing this.
to cut to the chace an avode boring details.
Around a yr ago I experienced something that i latter found out was sleep paralysis, i woke up in my room an everything seemd fine, when i turned my head to look at the time wondering how much time i got for sleep before work, thats when it started, i dont remember the time, even though i told myslef to remember after it all started, after turning my head to look at the time i turned it back an i felt whatevery one else experienced, my wrists felt like they were being grabed and held down, i felt like someone was sitting on my chest, an my legs felt like they were being bent to my back, alough this happing, there was laughing or words, i cant really remember, but after i was honestly freaking out an scarred, the pressure to my chest intensified while a voice that was not my own was saying simply, Fuâ¬k you, again an again just getting louder an louder, after it was said to the point it was screaming in my ear, during the time i was tring to turn to god during this an it was only getting worse, i remember being afraid an my fear begain to turn to, well hate, and anger.. i dont know what this says about me, or how strong my faith is or whatever, but i remember saying , No, F U, again, then again till i was screaming, at wich point i was able to move again, although, the anger, an an lack of fear kicked back when i woke up an had a veryhard time getting back to sleep, latter researched it an found out i wasn’t possessed by a whatever, still scarry, an think theres more to it
Hi All, i had this experience last night, it was really scary, please dont laugh but first i thought it was just a dream about sex and the most powerfull orgasm ever, however when i heard the sexy voice i thought to myself this cant be, it must be the devil, and i even told him, no i don believe you, you are the devil, i couldnt move a muscle, and i tried to scream to get myself awake, that did not work.. I remember start praying an asking for Angels to come to me and to make me peaceful and to protect me from this evilness that just occured.. this morning i was in shock to see what was in my underwear, it was not normal and the coulor was dark almost brown.. can someone please tell me if this ever happened to them..
The first I heard it, it was a guy with a really deep voice. But the voice was coming out so slow I could barely make it out. Plus the fact that he was breathing down my neck.
Second, a woman was mocking me and laughing at me. Told me something about my father’s father, whom I’ve NEVER MET, for he died before my dad’s wedding.
Yesterday, a girl was screaming so damn loudly in my head. It felt like she had come upto the close proximity of my face and was screaming her lungs out. She said something like “Be In mind (weird and loud static)– PAIN!” It didn’t sound like anybody I knew.
I was just annoyed as hell this time. Again?!
Ok well I’m only 13 years old And I have this , at first I thought nothing of it because I thought I was still sleeping but now it has been happening often and it gets a lot scarier from there on. Today , I woke slept at random times after I got from school, and the first nothing happened I went to sleep at 6 or 5 pm and woked at 12pm then I stayed awake until 2 am Because I was thinking of creepy things and read some stories then went back to bed. I wake up at 5am for school Maybe even earlier but this was just out of the world creepy I usually only hear buzzinn sounds but now I hear buzzing sounds and noises and I could not move and what finally made me cry was when I stopped breathing , I didn’t think it would be that serious but now I’m actully pretty dumb to just brush it
off like that.
So i had jus finished reading the bible and I went to sleep at about 23:01 but the minute I close my eyes I felt something come over me I heard buzzing sounds and I felt like I couldn’t move then I heard people saying and shouting stuff but this women’s voice started shouting at me Jesus is coming Jesus is coming NOW! What are you doing! Do something !but this voice was so violent and I don’t know if the ppl o heard were angels or demons I feel so shook its 23:56 now and I the dream ended at like 23:11 I just can’t rap my head around it all.
this is my story.First i heard a creepy voice saying haha your stuck ammidently i thought demon i was so scared like i was possesed and around 7seconds later the voice stopped and i was seeing things spinning all over my room,my eyes were closed but everything was moving in my room i could see my books and my draw spinning all with my eyes closed so i had no idea if i was asleep awake or dreaming or not dreaming and then sleep paralasis !a demon or something was sitting on me !for around 10seconds on my chest i couldnt move my body i was stuck i couldnt open my mouth move a muscle and at the same time the voice came back saying haha youre stuck.MY mum…she told me i screamed after this i screamed 2times.I saw shocked.I am traumitised forever 3real sensations of visual(seeing things)audio (hearing thing) and physical (feeling things)around 20lbs it felt like was on my chest….this is the worst thing that happened to me apart rom my pet dying this is the worst..i am traumitised and i am 15 and i dont see how i will ever sleep again it wasnt a dream i have dreams /nightmares everynight every single night very intese but nothing like this.I have had sleep paralasis on its own before but never with audiory and visual sensations..just the physical fell on not moving…it sounds crazy but it was 100%real if this happens to you i was in tears after crying so much i am still in shock it was around 7:30 now it is 9:06
When I sleep, I dream terrible things. I hear voices that tell me to kill and eat the divine flesh of Children.
Sometimes when I wake up my hands are covered in dried blood and yesterday evening on the news I heard that Children have been going missing in my neighborhood.
But surely it’s just a dream, right? This night I dreamed that I visit your house….
I woke up in the middle of the night in sleep paralysis. My room far colder than had ever bren normal even for the time of year. However, instarted to sweat once I realized i couldn’t move. Then, from my left i hear a whisper. As if there were 2 presences, the whisper asked the question,”is he awake?” The fear was immense and i seemed to have instantly fell back asleep and wakeup in the morning all in a second or two.
I aslong with many others experienced sleep paralysis… but for me i usually get them every 2-3 months wierdly, and the same shadowy figure gets closer…. My first one was not as agressive as the rest of the ones that ive experienced, but i do recall the heavy weight on my chest and neck, the feeling of being choked, i couldnt move yell or move…Ive heard a dark man in my room covered in nothing but dark red walls yell at me over and over “gonna getcha, and that was for my second one, i was shook i couldnt sleep for 4 days any noise id hear at night kept me up, i felt as if something was gonna get me…. My third one was the same setting excwpt the figure was at the foot of my bed jumping up and down all i heard was “loser, loser,loser” continuously… the one ive had lately which was less than 3 days ago i would consider be my worst one, i wasnt yelled at, nor practically sufficated which doesnt sound bad right? To me it was…. i was laying on my left side when i felt my bed move as if someone was getting in, the tucked sheets fall off my shouler and i feel the hot moist breathing in my ear with whispers i cant recall that went on for minutes, and the hand with long nails run down my arm…. once i felt the weight and hot breaths with nothing but whispers off of my back, i could do nothing but grab my phone for light and look straight at my bathroom door that was cracked open before i went to bed shut tight and i was home alone…. i still havent been able to sleep comfortably or peacfully, at times I feel like imma be dragged into some freddy kruger scene and get caught, if what i see hasnt gotten me yet…. but i dont let it affect my life i still live, love, and laugh… so dont be to afraid of it just have good thoughtsðð
While I was going through sleep paralysis I heard a loud screech I was also sleeping with my mom so when I got out of the paralysis I asked her if she heard anything or said something but she was still sleeping P.S. if u want to get out of the paralysis fast3r wat u need to do is try as hard as u can to touch your head with your finger and try to close your eyes tight it might be hard at first but u get used to doing it i figured how to do that because the first time it happen I hated the feeling of not moving and yeah also if u do the steps I told u don’t go right back to sleep or u will experience the paralysis again.
The very first time I experienced sleep paralysis was around 8-9 years old. I remember waking up, unable to move, but I was still dreaming at the same time. Half of my vision was the dream, the other was my room. It all seemed very orange. At the time I didnt think anything of what happened as that bad, and neither did my parents. They didnt even know if I was telling the truth. I didnt feel scared, only uncomfortable, plus I didnt see or hear anything scary.
The second time was earlier this year, and it was terrible. I was unable to move for what felt like half an hour, although in reality it was probably closer to just a few minutes. No noises, no visions of anything still, but I was extremely paranoid. The only way I can describe the feeling is that “something wasnt right.” I was also very hot and sweaty.
Here I am tonight, 4 in the morning, after experiencing this yet again, only this time it was much faster. I have been having trouble falling asleep all night, but when I finally did it was only about 20 minutes before I woke up again. I couldn’t move, but again I noticed I was very hot. Then (this is the bad part) someone called out my name. It sounded a little like my dad, as if he was trying to alert me of something, but when I replay what I heard in my head it seems to high of a voice to be his. I kept trying to move and eventually I groaned and forced myself to move. I layed there, horrified, and kept hearing noises behind me. I turned around, turned on the light, and there was nothing there. Im still getting chills after this all happened, 30 minutes later
Im no expert on this topic at all but I have noticed that 2/3 of my experiences have involved my body feeling overheated. I also recall having trouble falling asleep both of these times.
This happened to me twice… first time it was horrible felt as tho I was being choked as it started to go I could hear birds for some weird reason… second time it happened I could actually hear a woman’s voice say to me hello how are you weird thing about it don’t think it wanted to be seen whatever it was cause couldn’t really open my eyes
Well I’ve always had sleep paralysis since I was little . I hardly get it now that I’m in my 20’s but I noticed it has worsen . Before my bed would just shake and I wouldn’t be able to move , then when I was 15 I saw some in my room and then the next day they were floating on top of me . Now I’ve started to hear voices when I get sleep paralysis. Like tonight At first it was fine I knew I was just dreaming so I was calm but then out of nowhere it went bad . The bed started shaking and I could hear little whispers and a fly flying over me . And then it felt like someone was laying on top of me and I was too scared to open my eyes but it kept whispering & then it picked my arms up . And then it let them go and I felt it lay next to me and it screamed in my ear ” you’re gonna run you’re gonna have to run ” & then everything shook again and I woke up . The last time I had sleep paralysis I was having a normal dream about finding a book but before I could open the book I woke up in sleep paralysis and a voice yelling ” don’t touch the book I told you to not touch the fucken book ” I couldn’t move and everytime I tried to scream I felt like I couldn’t breathe .

I always have mine at 3 or 4 am time just changed so now it’s at 4am I have them so much I just tell it to shut up and go back to sleep, I always hear either really loud rattling or really quick little foot steps a couple times felt like something was pushing me down also. but the one I had the other morning was a little creepy was having a conversation inside my head with what I thought was my son about getting a gun cause I always told him I was going to take him shooting next summer but then I realized I didn’t have my son over he was at his mom’s anyways after I fully woke up and could move I turned on the lights and stayed up for a bit cause that one was a little creepy.
I occasionally get sleep paralysis, and typically it is very scary. I often see dark objects and hear whispering or hissing voices, but last night I saw bright white light and heard a warm buzzing sound? Not sure what this means but it was still pretty scary.
You don’t have to be a believer in God know that sleep paralysis is straight up evil. When it happens, you feel a real deep evil presence. You hear evil talk and laughter. You see evil demonic people. It’s all evil. Drs say it comes from Not eating right, sleeping right, or exercising enough. I’ve been doing all these things. Even lost 30lbs and I still have them and they still scared the crap out of me. Call it for what it really is, it’s a demon. Even though we’ve never seen a demon, some how our soul tells us it’s a demon. I’ve learned when ever it happens just say Jesus! Praying to Jesus and keeping your eyes from evil movies and music is how you stop it.
I am 16 years old and I have been having sleep paralysis since the age of 7. It started from the one’s that was simple ( can’t move or speak ) to the ones where this long beeeeeeeeeeeeeep will be in my ear until I awake , but suddenly I felt myself shaking in my sleep , and started to hear voices , but when I sleep with lights or my TV on I don’t have sleep paralysis , it immediately goes away , its very stressful .
When I was sleeping… in my dream I can’t move or even talk all I heard was a voices next to my hear they we’re laughing at something I’m so terrified at that time…. The voice was. A high pitch and a old laugh with high pitch…..
In 2002 two university friends and I rented an apartment in a two story home in Ontario Canada. The home was at least 100 years old. We rented the upper level of the home and below us was a priest for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I’ve heard since that they’re terrified of demons getting into their home. But I was an atheist.
About 6 months later I woke up around 3am. I was so alert but wanted to sleep. In the other rooms were my friends and they had their girlfriends over.
At 5am I saw a demon by my door. It was 7′ tall huge. Black with some red, horns, thought it was the devil because I didn’t exactly know what a demon was. I went paralysed. I couldn’t move. But I was totally awake. It moved to the end of my bed. I struggled to scream. Move. Nothing. I was powerless. This huge demon crawled from the end of my bed, over top of me, pinning my arms and crushing my chest. It began to thrust, but nothing sexual or involving penetration.
Completely paralyzed, I tried to turn to my left to escape. I put every ounce of effort I could to roll. Finally I rolled over and there was spiders every where. Huge ones. Shocked I was pulled back. I realized my body had never moved. Did I just leave my body when I rolled? I was back under the demon. I knew I hadn’t rolled over at all, yet I did.
During this event the static started when the demon came into my room. It got louder and louder. It was deafening. Static. Like television static. Maybe slightly higher pitch.
I can’t describe the terror I felt inside. The fear. It’s like you know it is a demon. It makes my eyes water to this day even describing this first event. It’s terrifying beyond anything you could imagine not having experienced it.
Then it released me. In a state of shock I sat up. The static was quieting. What happened to me? I knew nothing. I didn’t believe in any of this stuff. Demons! What were they anyways? I had no idea before this. I turned on all the lights and looking around the bed for what happened. As I leaned my head towards my pillow, the static was still there. It wasn’t on the mattress though. I tried other areas of my room and heard no static. I went back to my pillow and put my head against it, and there was the static. The static was reducing though each time I checked, until a few minutes later it was gone.
I had never heard of sleep paralysis before. I went to my doctor and asked if I was having a seizure or something. I tried to find a medical or psychological explanation because believing what had happened was too traumatic.
The event occurred a few times more, sometimes with the demon behind me, coming into my bed. Always 5am. These were terrifying but I don’t remember them as well as the first time it happened. But I remember one of my last visits. I had left that home and moved just a couple months later, as the least was up. It was in the summer months when I had this house to myself, that the demon came back. The static. It was scary. But I felt whether medical, psychological, or spiritual, that it preyed on fear.
I knew after these events that I would get to sleep finally after hours of sitting wide awake in my bed. So as soon as I started hearing the static, I rolled on to my side, shut my eyes (I learned this after the first time) and then spoke to God. In my mind I said “God is with me, he loves me, and I do not fear you. Do as you want, but tomorrow I will be the same, and soon I will get too sleep. Good sleep. God will make sure I do not get hurt”
And they ended. I had one more a few years later, but it was behind me and tried to crawl in my bed, but it was not the same demon. I didn’t see it though. That was a one off.
I should add that during this time in University that my mind was incredibly stable. I was an atheist and had no weird events outside of this. My best girlfriend said the first thing she would describe me as was stable. She meant it as a compliment. Of course I don’t know if I shared this story with her. It was just too terrifying.
I’ve read since that up to 30% of the population experiences some for of sleep paralysis. My story is a common one. Of the depictions I’ve seen of sleep paralysis where demons are involved, I can only say that this demon was larger than the ones that are most often shown.
Note that if this was spiritual than it preys on fear. It wanted me to feel terror. Horror. On a level that I can’t even describe. I’m only reading today, 15 years later on your blog about JWs and demons. If you fear them, clearly you will bring them on. This is exactly what not to do. Even if you are an atheist, talk with God and remember you’ll be fine the next day.
Still can’t explain how I heard static in my pillow, and only my pillow, for many minutes after the experience. Can someone explain that?
When I first got saved as a Christian, I had my very first and only episode of “sleep paralysis” (spiritual attack/warfare). I work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a Registered Nurse and I was doing an overnight shift during my episode. I sat in a rocking chair briefly and felt my eyes get extremely heavy. They got so heavy that I could not open them, nor could I move or speak at all. I could hear other nurses moving around me, but I couldn’t let them know that I needed help. All of a sudden, I started hearing very soothing voices that seemed distant at first, but got closer and closer. The voices were telling me to wake up and they said my name each time they told me to wake up. As the voices got closer, there were less and less of them telling me to wake up, and they got louder. I finally woke up when it was down to the one voice that sounded very much like my mother, who is alive today, telling me to wake up. It was a very weird experience, but I wasn’t so much scared of the force that was holding my eyes shut as I was scared of the nursing supervisor seeing me sleep, and me losing my job. Professing Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior and knowing that the battle is already won keeps me sane. Call on Jesus! All of these experiences are definitely spiritual in nature. Don’t try to handle the problem on your own. Ask for divine help! To God be ALL the Glory! He will hide you from the dark forces that lurk all around us. Believe in His power, believe in His will for your life, but most importantly, believe in and serve Him.
Thankfully i only have sleep paralysis when i take my afternoon nap. I never had hallucinations before but today i faced it. I always knew before taking my afternoon nap that i will have sleep paralysis.
But todays expireance made me feel scared as hell. I saw few hands that were trying to grab my face and they were actually choking me too hard. I was not able to breathe i was not able to move those hands or shout for help. i heard few people laughing which was more like a demonic laughter. I tried my best to stay calm and wiggle my toes which ultimately took me out from a complete nightmare
I just had an experience where I feel like my body was being jerked and also held down half way in a dream and the dream took place right where I am laying. There was something under the recliner and it made the recliner shake and in my dream I was looking for my light on this phone to see what the thing was and in my dream I decided to lay back down but when I turned away I heard a voice tell me that . I am too weak to fight and it felt like ny body was being pulled back…. I j ave been feeling very fatigued lately maybe this is the culprit… and also spicy food right before bed.
I hear all sorts of things ranging from screams to blasting music in my ears to the point I feel like my ear drums will pop. I’ve had loud jazz and rap play in my ears to a religious sermon (and I’m not religious) often the music will trick me and be manipulative to make me think I’m awake. Always accompanied by a dark figure hovering over me. Scary.
Okay I’ve dealt with sp for a while now. I am 17 and my episodes started occurring when I was 12-13. Since then I’ve learned to cope with it, well I thought I did. Whether it was seeing figures or just hearing family conversations it was pretty disturbing. So tonight the same old same old happened. Fall into sp, focus on breathing, attempt to move and repeat. It worked the first time, but after that exhausting struggle I fell right back in. I see a bright image of my friend at school talking of something he made in class. Then I thought of fear and danger. Then it said in what I could make out “What are you doing.” With every breath I took it said that phrase “What are you doing.” Except it was in a deep like modified voice. I know they are hallucinations, but sometimes they are too real. That has been my most traumatic episode.
This was the first time that has ever happened to me I was not sure what to think. It felt real and I could not move at all nor could I tell if it was reality or a dream. All I know is that I have a ringing in my right ear that I hear through out my day so when I am conscious. But when this occurred I could not open my eyes nor move my body or lips. I tried shouting for my mom but it never came out. While I was struggling the ringing in my right ear began then whispering in my left ear began as well. Album the worst part is that everything felt real. Then right before I pushed my self there was a ringing in my left ear beginning to take over as something continued to whisper in my ear.
Hello everyone!! I’m 14 years old and I’m currently terrified!! Today around 3:30 or 3:40 I got sleep paralysis! I’m a teenager and we stay up late. I was finally getting tired so I decided to got to bed around 3:20 and I was finally falling asleep. I am Hispanic and I heard Spanish music playing in the background and my mom yell Hennessy what are you doing and I try moving and I’m freaking out cause nothing like this has ever happened I’m feel like my body is being pushed and my body is so uncomfortably stiff. I try yelling for my mom and I keep yelling and I keep yelling and all of a sudden I can talk and I yell mommy I run to her room and she’s sleeping with my little sister and my dad. Like I believe in Jesus and so does my family like we are Christians why is this happening!! It’s currently 4:30 and doing a lot of research on why this happened to me!!!
I experience sleep paralysis often when I am extremely emotionally stressed and very sleep deprived. In the past I’ve had vivid dreams of people in my room that weren’t there. Of cats climbing windows and walls. I’ve felt something invisible hold me down. Once I would have sworn on my life I watched the closet door open on its own but when the paralysis ended it was closed. Most recently I felt as if I couldn’t move. It I could hear a ticking sound, like a clock, coming close to my bed and then moving further away over and over. It’s completely terrifying and I usually wake up with my heart racing and in a cold sweat
The first time I had sleep paralysis I heard music. Loud classical music. It wasnt anything normal though, it was a piece id never heard before, a slow, beautiful symphony. Then slowly, the music drowned out and footsteps came closer. I was laying on the top bunk of my bed. I heard a loud CRACK and then there it was. Dark, talk, and featureless. There was a dark figure, perhaps six foot four inches standing by my bed. I thought it was my sister at first and I tried telling her to stop. Then my fear turned into horror, I couldn’t move and wanted to scream, yet couldn’t. I was so afraid, horrified.the second time I heard my step dad making normal commotion in the morning. It wasn’t very scary. But the third time I heard my biological father walk into my room. I saw him walk inside, turn my light on, then look around, shut it off, then turn it on and off again, then he left. That one was just plain weird.
I’ve heard my nan who has past tell me she is happy now. I’ve felt my dog lying on my bed as he used to before he died ab heard his snuffles. Today whilst listening to relaxing music in bed i could still hear the music and I heard my husband arrive home and walk upstairs and into the bedroom. I was smiling because he caught me lying In and I had promised to get up early. Of course when I managed to look he wasn’t there. Over the years I’ve heard my name shouted quite often. Seen insects and seen my children walk to my bedside. I mostly enjoy these moments.
Yesterday, around 3:00 in morning, I heard a voice. It was my voice, but it sounded like I was maybe 6 years old. All I heard my younger self was, “don’t let me.” And I tried to ignore it and hoped it would go away and it did. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn’t, I tried moving but all I could feel was myself shaking. I went to sleep again a few seconds later. But then I could barely open my eyes and I saw this “demon girl,” like in one of those horror movies. I saw her face and it was standing right next to me. In my mind I thought it was just a nightmare, so I continued sleeping. Around 3:16, I felt someone touching my right arm and their hand was cold. I thought it was my mom checking on me, but she never did that. So I woke and looked to the right side of my bed, to see if it was my mom, but there was nothing. I was shaking again and I couldn’t move, I didn’t try to speak because I was too tired. After I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to sleep on the couch, and I didn’t have sleep paralysis then. 9:40 in the morning, I started to think about what happen last night. I was wondering what my younger self was going to say like, “don’t let me..die?” “don’t let me..fall?” I had sleep paralysis the day before that also and it was my first time.
Back in high school I would get SP a lot but they were quiet. I would experience a presence near the door that would always approach me and stay next to my face. Last night, I had one that was very audible. A pressure wound figure was near the top of my head. A dark shadow and it kept getting closer, it had deep grumbling voices like it was chanting something to me. Quite unnerving. I always pray and eventually is passes
My SP experience. I’ve never slept well and tend to be a very light sleeper. I was only asleep for a few hours when I heard what I thought was a very low, deep sounding growl. The sound was quite disturbing and definitely not a dog. As I lay with my eyes closed listening, thinking is it a bear outside the house, I hear it again. The low rumble and it’s sounding close. I was about to wake my husband when I felt the bed depress. I was terrified. I lay with my eyes closed, saying a quick prayer when suddenly it felt like something jumped on my body pinning it to the bed. I was unable to move, scream, or cry out. I could only whisper like I was out of breath. I fought against it and was able to slightly turn to my husband and whisper “help”! It only lasted a few minutes and stopped as quickly as it began. I’ve never experienced this nor do I ever want to again!
So I was watching YouTube, just Generikb, his let’s plays are always quieter than most let’s plays. So I was falling asleep, I didn’t want to so I told myself not to fall asleep. My eyes were half open and closing slowly, both of my arms were hanging off the couch so I tried raising them, the harder I tried the more I felt strained. I eventually stopped, then I hear a little girl and an older man (late 30s-40s)talking. The conversation got more intense, to the point where they were arguing, screaming, but they weren’t talking normal, just gibberish. This wasn’t the first time I had heard them though. Their voices shocked me so I tried harder and harder to raise my arms and get away, then it settled down and I sat up on the couch in shock just waiting for something to happen. I called out “Hello?” but nothing responded, and I was home alone because I am home schooled. Most of my family has had a past of paranormal things and sleep paralysis.
I’ve been having sleep paralysis for a while now but tonight was something different. I slept around 10:30 and soon realized I was having a sleep paralysis. I tried everything to wake I was banging my head to the wall the wall next to me then realized I was walking all over my house as if someone one following me. I managed to get up but I accidentally fell back asleep as I was tired however, as I did I fell back into sleep paralysis. This time after many attempts I woke back up again and while I was terrified and scared, before I woke up, while struggling I heard an evil voice say something about him being in control. He or she or whatever it was said I wouldn’t be able to leave the sleep paralysis. Now it scared me even more, as I’m thinking what I’ll expect if I ever have another one. Please tell me what can help me.
I have encountered SP several times already, but at first, it was just the feeling of falling or floating and sometimes hearing some whispers. I get through it though with one attempt of waking up. But last night was different and so new to me that it scared me. Everytime I’m going to sleep, I know if I’m going to fall into an SP, so I do my best in restraining myself. I succeeded everytime. But last night, I did for several times, but I failed in my last attempt. When I fell into an SP, it’s like everything were zoomed except it were all auditory. I heard a door creaking open, and when I tried moving my body, it was like hearing my bones cracking. When I finally woke up, I was out of breath and was covered in cold sweat.
1) My very furst experience. I woke up, unable to move. I could hear my baby brother crying in a crib at the end of my bed (which was never really there). I tried to get up to check on him but i felt i was pinned down. I felt something crawling on my bed, from my feet to my arms. The thing was invisible and just as i thought it was gone it screams extremely loud. I was able to move a couple seconds later
2) I had woken up unable to move, as sleep paralysis causes this. I was on my side with my blanket partially over my face. I feel something crawl from my feet to my back. Once it got to the back of my head I heard it sniffing directly in my ear. Was able to move a few seconds later.
3) My most recent one. I went to sleep on my side with my tv playing in the backround on volume 5/100, when I had woken up paralyzed I was on my back, unable to see and hear. Well, I could hear one thing and it was the buzzing/flickering of those long strip lights, which I do not have. I thought I had pulled my blanket up from my waist to my chest. When I was able to move it was still around my waist. I had been trying to train myself to yell when I get my episodes so that hopefully someone xoyld hear me and try to get me up. I had gotten louder this last time but not enough. I could hear my voice with the flickering noise.
I’ve been getting these since 9th grade, which I only had one that year. 10th grade I had about 10 total. 11th I had 20ish. 12th I had a good 50. And now this last one is my 1st for this year
My episode tonight came while in and out of dreams that I remember somewhat vividly.
I’ll keep this to the sleep paralysis episode, because the dream and episode were very much separate.
Awoke, mentally I guess, to some half-in-half-out state of conciseness, I could see my room but not pull myself from sleep. Having been through it before, I wasn’t as startled after recognition, but then I began to hear my door handle rattle. It was rattling as though someone was sharing the knob on the other side but not turning the knob? As if trying to get my attention to it before something more happened.
Terrified me beyond belief. Had to get up and shower afterward to try to get my bearings.
I hear children laughing before I fall asleep..An this started happening after my parents passed away..Last month.
When I have an episode of sleep paralysis I can hear and see everything around me. I have severe back pain and can only sleep in my recliner during sleep paralysis I can actually hear and see what’s going on around me. My cat sleeps in my lap and during my sleep paralysis I can feel that I’m petting him I can feel his fur on my hand even though I know I can’t move. During my sleep paralysis I have gotten out of my chair even though I didn’t actually get out of my chair my brain says I did but a part of me knows I didn’t but the weird thing is when I get up I try to turn on a light and I can’t if the TV is on I can see the program and hear it I can also hear and see my kids. Not sure what to make of this. I don’t believe in something paranormal is happening to me even though I believe in the paranormal but to me sleep paralysis is not paranormal.
I’ve had sleep paralysis since I was a child, and am now 18 years old. It happens to me frequently, unfortunately. A couple years ago, it started getting much, much worse. I began to sense much more than just the usual oppressive atmosphere and dead weight. I began to hallucinate lights, child laughing, old people screaming, distorted androgynous (almost demonic) voices screaming at me, and even simpler sounds like buzzing, mechanical humming, and bells resonating loudly.
However, these occurrences started become almost like normal dreams. My sleep paralysis has begun to be consistent in more than just frequency, but in timeline. It’s almost as though there’s a plot to my experience. As of late, the oppressive atmosphere no longer exists, but I instead, somehow, sense a young woman. While all the usual (auditory) hallucinations continue, the visual ones are now only of her silhouette. I’ve never seen her face, only her figure. No more shadow people or demons either, just her. In addition to what I normally hear, she speaks to me in a completely unidentifiable language, but I somehow understand despite not knowing what she’s saying to me. Last night, for example, I was having an ordinary dream when suddenly I heard a woman screaming and crying, when I suddenly found myself plummeting, yet again, into paralysis. Then she stopped, and instead spoke to me lightly. She said something that sounded like gibberish, “ylto’olmylpochec.” Somehow I understood it as “engage,” and immediately after I felt everything I’ve ever experienced hit me all at once. Despite my usual fear and confusion, or even occasional bravery in challenging the paralysis by succumbing to it to try and better understand it, this time I wasn’t afraid. Instead, I felt like I had become indifferent. But even through all the noise and sinister hallucinations, I could still feel, hear, and even smell the girl, who continued to speak to me. I couldn’t understand her, but her voice was calm, monotone, and hypnotizing, like that of a hypnotherapist. I don’t know what to make of it. It simply didn’t make sense to me. But it feels like my sleep paralysis has somehow mixed in with ordinary dreams. Should I contact a neurologist or therapist?
I often experience sleep paralysis when I nap at work. Once, I experienced it , saw a figure and a creepy face. Normally, I don’t panic. I just pray.
Today, I experienced it and I saw a figure in my face.I grabbed it and smashed i’s head into the ground while I prayed. Then, it disappeared. All of a sudden, I heard a voice whispering “Get ready”… Not sure what it’s supposed to mean but, I’m done sleeping at work….
I hear peculiar noises with my eyes “wide open”. I even hear my father calling me though they sleep peacefully in their room. I hear cries, mourning etc. And this thing happens every year during February to june (approx). I have always been a strong person so this time also believe there must be a scientific reason behind it rather than being something paranormal. I am a bit scared now.
Well, I’ve been reading some of these comments and they’re scaring the shit out of me lol. I have had sleep paralysis before, in the last year it’s only happened around 10 times although mine were quite different. I was still paralyzed, but I’ve never really seen any weird creatures. I don’t mind not being able to move because I know I have control over when I want to (by wiggling my toes first). The only real unsettling thing is this incredibly loud buzzing sound in my ear.
And then my heart rate would pick up and I’d hear my heart beat along with the loud buzzing and it’d just make more uncomfortable. I’m glad to say I’ve never had any scary visions. Though I might have a few times when I would stare at my sister’s bed across the room and see a dark blob or hunched up figure on her. But I’m pretty sure that’s just her leg underneath the covers forming a little tent. Still very scary.
I had sleep paralysis a week and a half ago and I heard a demonic laugh that sounded like mocking me , along with static and radiations noise.
Today I had another attack and heard the same voice saying:Leave,the hell …and another word thst i couldn’t hear along with the same noises and felt a pressure on my chest and it was hard to breathe.
I work overnights so when I get home I just want to go to bed, and also try to force myself to stay asleep as long as possible so I’m not too tired for work the next night. Sleep has always been very calm for me. Although it’s not unusual for me to wake up in the middle of it. I thought maybe this could have been a dream, but reading these I’m not sure. It was like my mind woke up in the middle of my sleep, I saw everything and everything looked normal but I tried moving my hand in front of my face and then just moving my body and there was nothing. I thought to myself that’s fine I’ll just go back to sleep, or it will ware off maybe it’s just a dream. I would have been fine with tat have it not been for the voice I heard (didn’t see anything) talking about my new house (in a good way as I recall), hearing steps going into my kitchen and a voice literally saying “I wonder if there are any snacks here” and then walking back into my basement. The voice was definitely deep, low and raspy and the steps were pretty loud. After that I tried to get the strength and jolt my arm to the other side of my bed, which woke me up. It was definitely different and I hope I don’t experience this again.
I’ve had so many of these experiences, and I still can’t get used to them.. Everytime is another strike of fear.. My room is pitch black so I can’t really see anything, I’m pretty thankful for that, but what I could hear when I woke up in the paralysis was a woman’s heals pacing my floor back and forth, I also got the feeling of a cat walking around on my bed. I have a cat but he is an outdoor cat, there’s no way he was in my room that night, I woke up petrified.. but look, I learned this trick on how to get out of it! One thing you can control well is your toungue. Push your toungue out through your teeth as far out of your mouth as you can, while doing that try to break out of the paralysis while taking a deep breath. Good luck!
I’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis for a couple of years now. I have one recurring hallucination where a young girl probably about 8 years old sits at the end of my bed and cuts herself. I had never heard her make any noise until the other day I could hear her sob. It made the hallucination so much scarier.
So one night I woke up to really loud music, “I like that old time of rock n roll” and my dad said he definitely didn’t hear anything. A few nights later I heard a really loud tapping noise possibly in my room or the kitchen “room leads to the kitchen” the noise didn’t stop until I stood up in bed.. that same night I woke up to myself making guitar noises and singing some made up song. And I hear my dad say “that’s a good tune you got there” I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or it was real so I didn’t say nothing back, the next day I told my dad he said he didn’t hear me singing, but said he had that song stuck in his head for a few days…
I’m convinced it isn’t sleep paralysis or banging head syndrome. It was far to real feeling. I seriously think its paranormal or alien. I never experienced this until I,moved here and it’s literally in the middle of nowhere the U.P of Michigan.
Last night my sleep was broken up. My girlfriend had her daughter over and when she’s with us she sleeps in our bed. She moves around a lot and takes up half of the bed and When all three of us share the bed my girlfriend wakes up with a back ache so I usually will move to the couch at some point. It was late when I decided to head to the couch.
When I plop on the couch and pull the covers over me I immediately felt sleep wash over me like a warm blanket. It didn’t take long for that swooshing feeling to come. I knew immediately that a bout of sleep paralysis was coming and I was too tired to do anything about it. Sleep paralysis seemed to happen all my life so it doesn’t come as a surprise anymore.
This time though I heard a young woman’s voice. It had a motherly feeling. It said, “I know you can hear me now”. This snapped me out of my reverry fast, or so I thought. I got up and dragged the blanket and pillows back to the bedroom and plopped on the floor. Everything seemed better until I reopened my eyes and found myself back on the couch. It seemed I only dreamt that I moved to the room. I got up again and moved to the room just like before closed my eyes and tried to sleep only to find myself back on the couch again. Then for third and final time I moved to the room, pinching myself to check if I was awake the whole time as I moved. This time it seemed to stick. I did wake up a few times wondering if I was in the wrong place but finally, I was no longer deceived.
It’s hard to decided whether or not I dreamt the whole thing. The one thing I do know is that sleep paralysis is hard to mistake.
What a weird ride.
I heard a group chanting in latin the more I tried to wake the loud the chanting got it was literally in my ear
When i wake up the time is always same 3am and i cant move ever i cant speak
And i hear voice of some one scratching on my pillow with nails
Some time calling my name
And frst tym is totaly different i wake up 3 am and i cant move then when i move then some one said i come again after a 1 hour 15 minute
Then i saw tym and sleep
Then its happened 4:15 and when its finish then again voice come after a 45 minute again
Then its again done pressure on my body …
And now what is this tell me ??
I usually have the ability to wake up my body during the beginning of sleep paralysis. Today waking up from a afternoon nap before work I heard a voice making its way back and forth from each side of the bed. My eyes are open. “Nanananana” and some other unrecognizable dialect is all I hear. I usually mumble-talk sh-t to whatever is there because I’m tired, why is this bothering me? I calmed myself and fell back to sleep temporarily when I experienced another episode. I heard clearly, “You didn’t think I could speak English” ..It went on to mumble a foreign dialect.
I brought my boyfriends dog in to sleep with me. haven’t heard it since.
Last night was a weirdest sleep paralysis, as always i sleep and suddenly i heard a very loud sound of wind trough my ear and i already know it is the sleep paralysis happening , i try to get over it by closing me eyes, but it wont stop until i open my eyes and saw someone standing infront my room door, i ignore it and try to sleep then after a few sec i woke up and switch on the light..
I’ve been having sleep paralysis for sometime now, but ever since I’ve moved into my apartment, it has started to get worse. It started off by just waking up, not being able to move, and usually I have my spouse next to me and I would be able to move just my hand to tap her to wake me up.
Couple months have past, now in my paralysis I could start hearing noises in the hallway followed by a shadow appearing by my bedroom door. Sometimes I freak my spouse out by asking her if she heard what I’ve heard, or seen what I’ve seen and she would tell me no.
Now I’m started to hear children laughing, sometimes I think it’s my children because at times they wake up because they cant sleep and usually put on a movie. But I would get up and go check and I would call out to them to get back to bed, but when I would enter their room, they would be sleeping.
This one time I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie and I heard the lock chain on my door move and raddle, I opened my eyes and I couldn’t move. I could hear my door knob shaking as if someone was trying to open it, my door was locked but I heard someone try to open it. I couldn’t speak or yell out. Finally it stopped and I could move again so I went to try open it, thinking maybe my spouse went for a cigarette and she got locked out or something but nobody was there, it felt so real.
Now a few weeks ago, my spouse was visiting family out of town and my children had school so they weren’t able to go. My daughter had a nightmare so she came to sleep with my, then again I had it, this time my daughter was beside me. I looked at the doorway, unable to move and again I seen this black shadow figure come into my room and this time it spoke to me. In a high childlike voice it told me “it’s o.k., we are going to take her, she will come with us, and she will be o.k.”. So I closed my eyes, had them shut real tight and started praying, I felt so helpless. I opened my eyes again and the shadow was gone, but I can hear the children laughter once again, coming from down the hallway, almost sounded like it was coming from the living room area, it stopped then I could move again, I grabbed my daughter so fast and held her tight.
It just happened this morning after I played down the second time basically I couldn’t move my eyes we’re half pen and I could hear someone screaming at me, I didn’t know what they were saying but as if they we’re screaming directly at me like right in front of me or right next to me then I woke up after trying to a cpl times then I just did it was a weird feeling then today s just been feeling different depressing
I been having SP since I wasba child ,I didn’t know I was until I got older though.I have SP everynight or every morning after my boyfriend leaves for work..The thing I don’t understand is why does it come for me after my boyfriend leaves.Like if I stay aty moms house now ot won’t happen but I happened when I lived with mom.It feels like its a disease that can’t be cured..It used the come back every like 6 years but now everday..What I do now is I twitch my left side of my body to wake up.I used to see shadows on the wall and now it tries to turn into my boyfriend and I know its not him because I can feel a unpleasant presence.I’ve told my sister about it she said it could be angels but I don’t think a angel would give me a bad feeling.Ive heard voices talking but couldn’t understand what they were saying sometimes they say my name.I want to cry everytime it happens its annoying now.I asked it what do you want,I tell to leave me alone i scream at it I hear footsteps and I tell it to shut up very loud ,my lips dont move but I say it in my head I know they can hear.Im writing this right after ot just happened ,so today It wanted to bother me right after my boyfriend left and I hear these fast footsteps like my daughter is running so my spirit had to touch my daughter and then I realized it wasnt her so I screamed to the top of my lungs,no twitching the left of my body this time just screamed at it and I woke up..Its very creepy it aint no nightmare its like I’m in some type of spiritual side of this life.
I experience sleep paralysis quite a lot. Last night I experienced it a couple times. I usually don’t hear much during sleep paralysis, but there have been a few times where I hear like people screaming, like screaming for their dear life. I’ve also hear like some voiced telling me things, like for example last night, I heard something say “get out of the house” several times.
A few days before this had occurred I was watching my baby cousin and I went to the kitchen to make him a bottle for when he wakes up I heard him crying in the room I was saying I’m in the kitchen I’ll be right there but when I walked into the room he was passed out I was terrified I had tears in my eyes I told my cousin about it and she said that she sees the little boy from the corner of her eye. The first time it happened I was aware I was in a sleep paralysis but I never seen anything or heard anything till that day. when I was watching my baby cousin I remember going to sleep but not able to wake up I tried to move my fingers and toes I remember trying to open my eyes and when I could I would see what I thought was my baby cousin but his face was dark and everything was blurry I could hear him whispering and laughing along with 3 other people that I couldn’t see. I could feel him touching my face like if he never seen me before I tried telling him to stop and go back to sleep but I then realized I couldn’t talk. When I finally woke up I looked over and found my baby cousin asleep that’s when I started freaking out. I think what I experienced was the little boy who lives In the house.
This happened to me twice! The first time was back when I was 16. I was in my old house before I moved to my previous one. I woke up in the middle of the night because I felt my bed shake. Like something was kicking it with their feet to jerk it – I woke up and I couldn’t move. I saw a dark figure on my bed and watched it crawl under my bed. I couldn’t sleep for a while after that incident! The next time was last night. New house. I woke up in my asleep..not sure about the time but it was still pretty dark out. I heard muffled whispering and couldn’t make out the source. Then I heard as if something was breathing in my ear…too scared to open my eyes I remained still, but it felt like I couldnt move! When it finally stopped I opened my eyes and nothing was there….I was terrified! I had no one idea what those things were or where they were coming from!!
so i had sleep paralasis three time trying to fall asleep but the last time i heard someone cant remember if it was a man or woman say manyo monyo or moonyo someething like that it was very scary
This was the first time this happened and it happened today. I was sleeping on my belly and couldn’t move. I also had a pillow covering most of my bison but a small gap at the corner of my eyes. I heard whispering and saw things moving outside of my vision.
i once heard a crowd of voices like when you are in a cafe or something but with no background noises just talking to one another but i could not make up what they said so i tried to listen harder and they got louder stll i could not make out their confersation it fel like they where pulling me into something their conversation went on harder and harder as it pulled me in unil it was like they where around me and it seezed as 1 load voice screamed WAKE UP i did as i was told i am glad i know that it was a sleep dissorder or else i whould have thought myself insane
I heard static i am so scared it was 4:23 when i woke up and after that i couldent sleep luckily when i couldent move, i closed my eyes so i didnt have to see anything first when i was awake there were tiny bangs on the wall then i fell asleep on the floor i woke up watched YT and went on my bed to sleep i had a normal dream and then the SP happened i already explained that tho. I told my dad (he didnt care) i didnt sleep that night (and im lucky cuz when im scared i clench my fists and toes and thats a way to stop it)
I got one earlier but its was like somebody wants tto reach out but the voice I.heard was real movie like Spanish or some mad I shit myself but I always get these and its always some black shadow at my bed but its moving its way closer to me each time has me scared to sleep it happens more when I drink alcohol but its when I look at her i get pins and needles in my chest and my lungs hurt the worst time was when I woke up looking directly at my cealing when it happened but she came from the healing like black dusty smoke and watched me struggle to run this really has me worried somethings gonna happen to me I just hate it that your weakless to this like the power of it scares me and I just see a shadow but why do I feel its a girl ð¢ð¢
I think I had one episode before where I heard my grandfather talk. My grandfather is still alive but I can not remember what he was saying to me. I had another one last night. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 11 pm something and went upstairs to bed and fell asleep. I woke up a 4 am this morning on my messaging app for a few hours and then went back to bed. Right as I begun to wake up I heard a man’s voice saying “Good morning” to me and then he said something and then he said “You probably realize how annoying I am.” My body was stiff and I felt pressure on me but at the same time I was shaking because I was so afraid. No one was in my room at the time that I heard someone talking to me. No one!
Omg I think I just experienced my first SP. happened about 30mins ago. I got up around 3:19 to change into some sweats since I wasn’t comtherble With the shorts I had on. I payed back down to go asleep when I heard very loud squeaky shoes walking around the basement. Opening my eyes to see who it was, I seen a black shadow figure heading towards me. However I couldn’t move during this, only my head as I was fallowing the dark figure move. It then came towards me with the loud squeaky footsteps standing/ hovering over me by my stomach. I tried so hard to hit it or something but all failed.
However when it was so close to toiching me it stopes and started moving away from where I was laying down and the bathroom door closed from upstairs. It was gone. In that split second I ahoy up and can move, I grabbed my flashlight and looked to see what the shadowy figure was. Nothing. I then looked to see it’ll it was my roommate who did all this but he was fast asleep and my brother was the one who went into the bathroom… with no shoes on. What was this?? And should I be worried?ð°
I had just recently went to sleep and usually during my sleep paralysis I hear things. I avert my eyes downward or just focused on my blanket so I don’t see any shadows ’cause I know I will and I know it will freak my out. So I did that as usual normally I move my fingers or toes because I read that it helps get you out if that state. And in my head I heard cheering it wanst anything bad but then it started turning into screams usually the voices don’t bother me. Mainly because sometimes its just children laughing or shouting but not hateful shouting more like joyful shouting and the screams do scary me a bit but I just take deep breaths to calm down. This tine it got to me because the screams consisted of yelling too and people shouting hes coming it scared me so much.
As I was trying to fall asleep around 6 a.m after waking up from a nightmare 2 hours earlier, I felt this tightening feeling I was very familiar with and I immediately knew that I had sleep paralysis.
I was already awake though, but could barely move my body and I could hear someone right beside me saying “Help me help me help me help me” (but in my language, Swedish).
Since I’ve had so many sleep paralysis before, I simply moved and sat up, my heart racing in my chest.
This is the second time I’ve ever heard someone asking for help in a sleep paralysis, and it’s uncomfortable to sya the least.
Another time, I had awoken very early in the morning and I was laying on the side (as I usually do). I then heard horrible noises I can’t explain, seeing some kind of…shadow arm come up from below and in front of me. I was scared half to death, and even now it terrifies me.
*Tips*
My tips are, that if you have a sleep paralysis; move. Move yourself a little or simply sit up. I know that it’s difficult, but once you move it stops. That’s at least what I’ve been doing, even when I sleep and have sleep paralysis.
And don’t be afraid; they can’t hurt you <3
Lots a love from a 17 year old girl~
I get sleep paralysis about 2 to 3 times a week. Ive been having it for over a year now but last night was what really hit me. Back then I wouldn’t understand what “thing” was saying is what I call it because its like it was speaking another language. About 2 nights ago I finally understood it but it was a lil girls voice right in front of me but I had my eyes close that way I wouldn’t look at her. What she said to me scared tf out of me her words were ” Everbody dies” idk if its a demon or wtf is going on but yea that’s my story on sleep paralysis.
I’m not new to sleep paralysis, but yesterday it finally creeped me out again.
I had the usual feel like I’m asleep, trying to move but couldn’t. So this time, it felt like I was falling. My ears made that noise your hear when there is wind, so that helped with the the falling sensation. It was a little scary, but to top it off, I hear a freaking voice that said, “we both know you’re going to die.” Once that was said I tried to move, but of course I couldn’t. Took another 30 seconds or so to wake up. Finally woke up, stayed awake for another 10 mins and went to sleep. I slept like a baby afterward. Now I know I can also hear things during sleep paralysis.
I never have nightmares when am in deep sleep something keeps awaking me in a dark deep voice in a different language so annoying then I can’t move for a wile with eyes wide open staring at the wall should I not be Afriad, and let them it whoever it my be contact because at the min am a bit afraid. When am with my partner the noises are there and he hears them but don’t want to frighten him, as I have been use to it for a long long time, when am on my own they it what ever try to contact me so annoying just don’t want to let anything in, as it could be bad !! So I invision a wall which keeps it out. don’t like thinking about it because the more I do I feel the closer it gets to me, haha I sound like a crazy person dose anyone get this, is it a sleeping condition???
I go usually to sleep at night, and between 3:30am and 7:00am I hear this loud noise in my ear just like when a car going by next to me on the side of the road, or a train sound real close. I wake up right away from sleep, because I can’t figure it out where is coming from. Is the problem with my ear or my brain. Always early morning hours, no matter in what position I sleep. I need some help from someone to tell me what is going on and it started about sis months ago. Thanks.
I was asleep and I have been waking up off and on.
I feel asleep again but then I felt I woke up.
Only I could not move. I felt a presence right beside me. It said “They are coming for you ” I couldn’t respond. I finally was able to whisper Jesus. Then it stopped. Now I’m rethinking my life. I’m no saint but I’m not bad as them.
I was half asleep this morning the kind where you are really awake and just laying there. But as i laid there i felt drowsier and drowsier and then i rolled on my back and sleep paralysis started kicking in. I knew exactly what it was cause i get it all the time. As usual i tried to move/ jerk myself awake, hold my breath or do anything to stop it because honestly i hate it. It awlays feels like being a prisoner in my own body for who knows how long. But this time was intense, i was really pinned down. I decided to not fight it and try and relax. Immediately i get the strangest and most surreal sensations. Like my whole body starts buzzing/vibratimg my ears start ringing. i feel like i just got injected with some kind of crazy drug. Then out of no where im hearing strange violinish music hard to describe but next im hearing the weirdist animal sounds ever. Only way to describe is a gutural pig/duck oink/quack sounds. Then i finally woke up. Bizarre
I’m 36 and having SP over two years now on a weekly/monthly basis. I was not aware of the nature of this sleeping “disorder” and that it is diagnosed and documented already. This is the first time I googled it, and I’m happy that I’m not alone with these experiences. For the first times it was quite shocking that sometimes I was not able to sleep back for hours if it happened at night. I was able to distinguish three different types in my case:
1. Awake sensation
In cases I’m awaking from a dream and I know I’m in my bed at home. I experiencing loud static noise, and a presence of someone in my room. I can see, but sometimes it feels like I’m in an extreme storm that it is hard to see. In those cases I’m always in my bed and that “entity” always tries to make a physical contact with me, but never says a word which scares me the most. It always comes with a shaky, cold but tender touch. Sometimes I feel it wants me to trust it. Few times I asked: Who are you? I have never received any answer, but it made the dream stop, so, it ended well 🙂 Yesterday it grabbed me at my waist and then my leg ad started to lift me out from my bed. This was the first time it happened, I was shocked, but I managed to shout (in my head only): “Let me go!!!” – and it worked, I woke up ‘:D
2. Half dreaming sensation:
During a dream, I faced some situations and in few occasions I heard either one voice or a lot’s of people talking loudly from which I was able to focus on a single voice twice ever. These voices were just talking about common things, like I would have heard them from the radio. So these were one way conversations. I’m native Hungarian, so it was surprising for me to hear both Hungarian and both English in my so called dreams. But one thing was common, those whom I heard, they felt lonely and frightened, complaining or asking for help.
3. Controlled Dreaming sensation:
In these cases I have had a normal dream in which I came to realize due to some contradictions that I was dreaming. In these cases I’m free to look a round, grab objects do things. Amazing, because everything seems just as real as awake. In some cases however exactly in these dreams some new characters appear for me, whom somehow I feel that does not belong to the “show” however my mind tries to fit him/her in the picture but I can not interact with or take control of these characters. Usually they are just staring at me, coming to me or even talks… It freaks me out regardless how many times I had to face this.
No matter which kind of dream I have, each time it is a shocking experience, even if I already know what comes, and I feel scared, scared in a way I have never scared in real life, shaking deep into my bones from toe through my spine and back of my head, I feel cold even in the hottest summer (and I don’t use air conditioner). Once, I was attacked by criminals at night in the city, but that was different, much less scarier, even if I knew it could cost my life. When SP happens somehow I feel that there is a lot more on stake than my life, how this make any sense? This sensation makes me curious also, but I have never took the risk not to trying waking up as soon as I can. Especially that it’s never an easy job to do… What could be the reason that so many people describes very similar experiences and that each of us is so terrified in these dreams? Could it be a way
to connect a channel to the collective unconsciousness or a dimension where spirits can reach us or a delusion created by our subconsciousness based on our greatest fears? Who knows… One thing seems to be sure, we can end it on our own will or fate, and if we ask who them are, they will not answer our call.
I’m only 11 yrs old and even I experience sleep paralysis quite often.Its currently 5am and I just woke up abt an hour ago from SP. Usually when I experience it, its not that bad, but I had it twice in a row tonight.I was sleeping on my side and I suddenly woke up, not being able to move my body.I squeezed my eyes shut because hearing all of the stories of people seeing shadowy figures, I don’t want to be even more scared shitless.I then hear girls talking and laughing but no ones there, I can’t hear anything else.
I heard ambulances during my sleep paralysis
I fell asleep pretty late last night, I’d like to say around 1 or 2 in the morning I woke unable to move. I was laying on my back and could see that my door was open, which is pretty odd because I remembered closing it before going to sleep. While I was looking at the door, I started to hear this weird music, kind of like the violin plucking from insidious, I noticed this tall shadowy figure coming towards my bed, so squeezed my eyes shut. When I reopened them, I could see it’s face right in front of me, so I immediately closed my eyes, then I felt something touch my face.
Is this normal?
Sleep paralysis is not new to me . I’ve experienced it before . But , today it’s the first time … I heard someone CHANTING behind me and all I know is I’m all alone in the house right that moment . So freaking creepy !
My eyes finally opened, and I felt a force on my right arm as I laid on my side. I knew it was happening again; I have had sleep paralysis occur before so I was semi-prepared for what I assumed was about to happen. I tried to jolt myself out of the paralysis, both by gasping and trying to shoot myself up, but neither methods worked and my eyes slowly started to shut themselves. I tried my hardest to keep them open, to wake, up, but just as my right eye closed, I realized that I no longer had any control. I was in a battle over the control of my left eye, but soon lost as it stayed frozen in a squinted state just as a demon figure shot itself above me, revealing itself to my left eye. I was calm, at first. This was the first time I had experienced any hallucinations during sleep paralysis, so I was a little shook, yet calm. The figure had a black silhouette, but the terrifying, typical “monster” face was still evident. I thought it would all be over soon until I began to hear voices in my ear, yet another first. “Let the bâ,” I heard for a first time, but my fear kicked in and I let the panic drown out my hearing. I calmed myself down, for I was really interested about what I was hearing. Then, for a second and third time, just like the song, the words that I heard were, “Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor.” I was both confused and geeked at the same time. Why was this what I heard? After the last phrase ended, I was returned to the life of the awake and the demon hovering in front of my face was gone. 10/10 would recommend if I hear something funny like that again lol.
Its was a very cold night and i had covered my whole body up in a blanket as usually because of the sleep paralysis I’m just gone cut straight into the scene so I was sleep in all of a sudden it hit me fast I zoned out I couldn’t move or scream something was holding me down I could only see visually this happens all the time I usually fight out of it but this time I heard 3 demon little girl I imagined in my heard they had long white dresses in they wasnt talking any type of language i could understand but they was supposly were playing ring around the Rosey but one stop in walk over to me in bent over in said something in my ear while I was under Neath my blanket I couldn’t understand her at all it’s was a unkown language that I never heard before these sleep paralysis have been happening to me for years but this one was by far the most distrubing experience I have had with sleep paralysis
I have been hearing my son crying, but he is at school so it can’t be him. I was in an endless loop of waking and falling back asleep and the weird crying sound is what wakes me because I know opening my eyes will make it stop then as soon as my eyes close I hear it again.
So let me start by saying generally, an airplane collision outside my bedroom window would simply cause me to roll over still snoring oblivious. But on this most particular evening, there was definitely a realization of abnormal relaxation. I was in awe at how comfortable I felt lying in my ball shorts, no shirt, with only the thin sheet to cover me on this warm August night. The room was near complete blackness, with only a faint recognition of a slightly lighter shade forming the layout. Inside temperature is about 65 degrees, and the sound of the small fan in the corner of the room blowing its perfect breeze directly onto me. By this time my eyelids are slammed shut with no desire to twitch, my arms behind my head, with that one leg slipped out from under the sheet. After what seemed like only a few minutes I was awake and 100% alert or so I thought. Trying to pin point the location of the tiny footsteps that had woken me, I lay there still relaxed, just listening. Click, click, click, the small unmistakable patter of a little girls hard sole, shiny, white, buckle sandals meeting with the tile floor. Sound distant then what seemed to be directly at the foot of my bed…”We’re gonna wake you up…We’re gonna wake you up” I hear in a cute little voice almost as if singing it. Then giggles between what sounds like two small girls. My daughter 6 years old at the time was stayin over for her weekend visits, and my stepson 4 at the time did have a shriekish voice and giggle when being mischeivious. My assumption was, they’ve gotten up early and have now decided to wake dad up early as a way to amuse themselves. So in my fatherly slumber I attempt to arise almost as if a mummy from the old scooby doo episodes. Arms straight out, sitting straight up, moaning to start today’s round of chase and tickle. “We’re gonna wake you up…” chants once more. Hee hee hee, the giggles softly released in such an obvious attempt to silence it. Now I’ve noticed that my body had clearly been filled with concrete, for try as I may I couldn’t muster the strength to lift even one arm. Frantically sending shock from nerve to nerve I find that my eyes, and the ring and pinky finger on my right hand are of all the motor skills I have. Now the chanting and giggles start to question my consciousness, I begin to ask myself “am I dreaming?”. So as most do in the situation I begin to prepare myself for the usual victorious slaying of demons and psychopaths that are always somewhere in my dreams. Checklist: Woman and kids, woman, directly beside me. Kids, in the room next to ours, in bed, sleeping like the little angels they are… ok next, awareness? I’m fully aware! And fully prepared! Remembering the loaded 9mm that rested underneath my jeans that were folded and stacked on the head high shelf in the closet. “Oh yeah!” I am awake, alert, armed, and…and… frozen?? Literally as if I was paralyzed from the beck down. I could do absolutely nothing, except whisper, and move/tap my two fingers. Confused and filled with anxiety and terror I struggle to poke the honeys rib cage and get the “whalawalawala” rooster like response as all the times before. But just out of reach, my hands were literally being held down by a force that I can’t even begin to describe. Trying so hard to loudly whisper “HEY” with so many failed attempts. Adrenaline fueled ideas flood my brain, all of which contain the loaded pistola just a few feet away. Flexing and straining every muscle I have, or don’t have rather, I am seriously worried about being paralyzed now. Nothing is working! Nothing is responding to my brain activity, nothing is moving even though I’m trying. Click, click, hee hee hee, “hey, psst…guess what?” “We’re gonna wake you up…” and then the worst happens, I hear the sandals clop over to the closet. As I hear the accordion style metal doors screech open, the rusty rollers on the rails, and the thin sheet metal thunder as they reach the length of the tracks. Ok…ok…stay calm, small girls, singing and giggling, it’s O K. Nearing vessel damage, I grunt and give my final push as my face glows hotter, red and bug eyed, I am done. I have no energy left to even hold my eyes open. Slowly easing back into my sleeping state, my wiggling fingers finally reach their target. And my voice bellows out deep, concerned, and with the force of thunder…”HEY!!, WAKE UP!!!” And like clockwork simultaneously spring up like that rooby rooby roo mummy like someone released the trigger on a 200lb crossbow. And much to my surprise the closet doors are completely closed and upon inspection there were no little girls clogging through the hallway chanting. I was 100% completely awake during this entire process. I was conscious, and coherent, I was alert and aware. But believe me I was paralyzed with no other way of wording it, I was PARALYZED!! Extremely unsettling yet it left me kind of yearning for another “dream” like this one. I’ll be sure to share if it occurs again. Til then, sweet dreams…
When I try to move my hands, something laughed at me then I woke up suddenly.
I’ve been experiencing sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming since I was 13, I’m now 22 and have just had probably the worst experience. It’s common for me to have loud brass instruments in my ears, ringing, and over 10 voices laughing/shouting and talking like they’re Sat right next to me, usually when i have hallucinated it’s just been a black figure, I never really open my eyes as I know I’ll get scared so I just try shake my head into consciousness. I just fell into sleep paralysis and once again the noises of laughing shouting and talking were around me but I also had someone’s hands in mine, I was shaking my head trying to break out so from this struggle and movement it felt like my hands were moving touching someone’s palms, I could feel the wrinkles, dryish skin and the beginning of fingers.
This happens to me very often. Back when I was still a believer, it didn’t happened that much. But when I changed and stuff happened, these paralysis kept hunting me from time to time.
During the first episodes, it was just succubus tempting me. Then it fell apart when demon images started coming to my room. always staring and observing from the side of the room. I’m always chilled when these things happen and was not scared at all. I treated these beings just like natural occurances. The paralysis kept getting worse and worse as years pass by, As physical contact were made during the event, like getting on top of you, planking from your whole body, holding both of your arms, I was not affected and just let it happen. I didn’t prayed or done anything to escape, I let it pass as if the beings are caught off guard from my perseverance.
There was a time when I was still awake and can’t sleep at all. I didn’t knew if I was still awake or sleeping back then, but all I knew is I was concious back then. I checked my phone and it was around 2:57. So I concentrated sleeping again. Then a loud thunder cracked in the sky, and our telephone started ringing. I let it pass as always. But what’s weird is that I felt fear this time. Loud footsteps were walking through our hall as if its finding something, finding someone, then I felt our door slowly creaking open. I kept my eyes shut close. As I felt its prescence walking through my bed, it standed above me. Pressing on my legs, I was paralyzed. Then it sat above me as if it wants to torture me, I still remained calmed and didn’t asked for prayers, it was like a torture, as if time went by fastly, I started struggling because I was losing consciousness, the being gripped me hard and remained its composure to the torture, I remember then reading an article that’s saying, move the farthest body part from your brain if these occurances happen. So then I tried waggling my feet. Slowly but surely, I can now move slight movements from the paralysis, As I screamed and burst out of anger from this being, I wake up breathing heavily, checking the time, it was just 3:15 of dusk.
But this year, 2018. They started changing things, they won’t make physical contact at all. I don’t know if it was because of my depression as a teenager, you know broken family, blood discrimimation stuff under the room crap. Anxiety to my blackout problems from drinking. or even physical exhaustion because I’m just a 2nd year college student, working from sidelines like photographer in an event, editing writing, stuff like that. but boy, these beings are now messing with my head this time! It won’t let me sleep during my resting nights after school or work! If I remember correctly, My sleep was cut off several times because of their whispers!
For example last night this march 1, it was my rest day and I’ve done all things that will replenish my fatigue, like binge drinking water, episodes and episodes of youtube, music, you know everyday rare stuff like that! Then as I sleep for around 2:30 in the night, These beings kept whispering in my sleep! It started as if slow random silent voices were whispering, as I ignore these voices, it kept getting louder and louder, faster and faster, then I will be awake again. 3:10 in the night. I’ll scan in my room if there was someone messing with me. but there’s none at all. I steadily went to sleep again. and it occurred again, but this time, the voices started loudly and fast, as if they were completely messing around with me. I wake up and I have seen a figure in the corner of my room, it was really blurry, it looks like a mini death floating, black robe, black hood. Mad by interrupting my sleep, I stand up and raise my middle finger while walking towards the figure. then it dissapeared. idk guys if you believe me but this sht really happens. Is this just fatigue? or is this really connected to supernatural stuff? it keeps getting worse and worse. worst case scenario if I wake up in limbo, the neverending dream, haunted by these nightmares.
I am not new to sleep paralysis, I’ve experienced it a few times. But the few nights ago I awoke to it again, this time however, I heard a woman repeating “why” over and over, each time getting louder and more frantic.
I can hear whatever coming towards me. I just every step an the water slushing
Around 5 in the morning,a man was yelling my name during SP. Then he yelled at me to get out. I opened my eyes and saw this circle ish figure illuminating out my window. I dont remember if it was a dream or not, but it felt so real.
Yo I frickin hear screaming. Like the screams of hell type of screaming. Men and women screaming like their being tortured and when I try to move I hear a loud buzzer like ERR ERR ERR almost like it’s not letting me wake up yet. I’ve been lifted by a tall black shadow of a man and slammed back in my bed repeatedly also?? Is this normal? I’m kinda concerned right now.
April 7 th 2018 At 5:20 AM I was in the middle of sleep paralyses where I couldn’t move, but my mind was awake. I am 14 years old I am terrified I heard my little brother calling my name in two voices and I responded in demon type voice telling him to shut up. Then I suddenly hear voices in my head like 100 saying my name and saying things after it that I couldn’t reach to hear. Then there was something wanting to open my mouth and say some things but I kept it closed. It’s 5:27 AM right now I’m so scared I’m young and I really don’t know what’s happening.
I heard clown laughters in my ears
Hi everyone, especially people who are scared to death and don’t know what to do and have never experienced this before…it’s okay, I promise. I have been experiencing sleep paralysis for about 5 years, and have had more episodes of it than I can count. Sleep paralysis is a common thing. It has happened to almost everyone at least once. The things you see, hear, and feel during these “episodes” are just hallucinations. Your brain is creating these horrific things because you are technically sleeping, and it’s technically just a nightmare. It feels real, but no matter how real it feels, just keep repeating to yourself that it isn’t. The part of your brain that senses danger and raises your adrenaline is heightened, that’s why you feel so scared. I have been researching this for a long time, so trust me, there is nothing to worry about. Don’t be scared.
I get sleep paralysis every now and then (usually early in the morning). When I was about 18, I fell asleep on the couch and in the middle of the night, had an episode and saw a black figure walking towards me. For some reason it didn’t scare me as much as it should’ve. Just this morning I had a bad episode where I just could not get myself up and I refused to open my eyes because I was afraid of what I’d see. I did hear someone blowing their nose and I really thought it was my brother, but he hasn’t lived with me since last year. I would like to know how to calm down and relax during episodes so my experiences will be more pleasant
This afternoon I wanted to take a rest so I took a nap. It was about 11 when I slept so i woke up an hour being unavalible to move or speak and it was hard to open my eyes too. During this I also heard laughter which really spooked me.
I had sleep paralysis for the first time today . I was having a short afternoon nap… Just within 15 minutes after I had slept I suddenly felt the urge to get up…. But I couldn’t! I felt my eyes couldn’t open, my mouth couldn’t scream, and life draining outa my body. I thought I was dying. I also got hallucinations of my loved persons wailing over dead me!
Last night I could hear loud and creepy opera music while I could see something forming in front of my bed but as I said to myself “this is going to pass” the “evil” thing that was forming or I’m used to expect when these things happen it just vanished. Another day before that one I couldn’t see anything but I felt a dark presence near me and I just felt like in a dark void with no escape and right before waking up apparently the presence told me “you’re the one I need”. Really scary after waking up at 2-3 am with this kinda thing. No bullshit.
at 5:08 am this morning I experience something absolutely terrifying! I experienced it for the first time ever. I was dreaming and then I suddenly woke up but I couldn’t move at all, I could here my 6 year old nephew snoring right next to me and I could see the room. I suddenly heard as if a dog were in the room with us but I couldn’t see anything! Suddenly I felt two hands grab ahold of my right arm and start to shake it and suddenly I heard “help me help me” and I looked at the direction of it from the corner of my eye but there was nothing there yet still I was not able to move for speak. About 2 minutes later I was finally able to open my mouth and move!
I don’t usually have SP, but when I do, it’s often auditory. I can sometimes move and break it; more recently, however, I’ve been completely paralyzed. Just last night I woke up at 3:20ish AM. Having just finished a roadtrip, my sleep cycle was completely off, and I was trying to catch up on what I missed during the drive. I don’t usually check the time when I wake up in the middle of the night; for some reason I did. When I tried going back to sleep (I’m a side sleeper) I quickly found myself unable to move. Some whispering and buzzing turned into full on screaming. It was an argument of some sort, but I could only hear a woman’s voice shouting and begging someone to leave her alone and to not touch her. I didn’t recognize the voice. She sounded to be right next to me. The only other woman in the house is my grandma, but if anything was happening her dogs would go off. When I finally was able to move I walked a bit around the house. No one else was awake. I couldn’t stop shaking.
I have been dealing with sleep paralysis since I was a little girl, I learned how to wake myself during sleep paralysis about 1 year ago, wiggling my toes, it feels so hard to do, I’m weak and it hurts (I’m always in a huge amount of pain during these episodes, if I move/speak or even think about it, it feels as if someone is twisting knives inside me all over) but I manage to wake up sometimes. I use to have it every night, now I only have it maybe 3 times a week which is pretty awesome considering I spent every night for the last 8 years having nightmares.
*Before I begin you should know I’ve dealt with hallucinating for years as well. I manage them much better now, haven’t had one in months.
Today I took a nap, first it was a normal dream (maybe not normal but, it was a dream and dreams can be unpredictable). I was in what seemed to be some sort of science lap, during the end of the world, a lot of my dreams consist of me being completely alone in the world.
When I have sleep paralysis it starts off gentle, like I’m.. floating in a pool. Relaxed. Open.
Then, I feel myself sinking, and I’m so exhausted I can’t swim. Eventually I’m so deep even if I get the strength to fight I will never make it back to the top.. like I’m being sucked into a blackhole.
I was in the lab one moment, walking, noticing I’m alone, wondering how I got here. I was awake. So for a moment, this was real. I didn’t realize I was dreaming yet, then as I realized. I didn’t feel so alone anymore. I felt a presence lurking, as always. Then I began to sink, I was sucked in, swallowed hole.
Floating in pitch black, in agonizing pain. I heard a voice, sounded like a robot, that smoked way to many cigarettes. (This is a voice I’ve heard before, while awake).
It said “Give way to anger” over an over again.
As soon as I recognized the voice I began to wiggle my toes, I needed to wake up before it got worse, the pain increased and I couldn’t wake up, but I didn’t give up. I wiggled my toes and I screamed at it saying “Shut up, shut up, shut up” -with some cussing in between- finally I woke.
I got up and I kept saying “shut up, shut up, shut up” because I felt it lingering.
Right now I am racking my brain, wondering why those words came to me, give way to anger. I’m not an angry person, infact, I’m known to be too nice, it gets me hurt but I am almost incapable of being rude or mean. I do get angry but it never ends with me yelling at someone or ending a relationship. It normally ends with me crying, I don’t face negative emotions well, I ignore them or just don’t know how to rid myself of them.
Normally, sleep paralysis is a bit different, I see a shadow standing over me, stabbing me. Or, I don’t see anything but I feel someone touching me inappropriately. Or, I only feel a presence of something inhumane, incapable of anything but anger. This makes me worry that their is something in my life I’m not dealing with properly, but I have yet to figure out what it may be.
Today this was my experience.
Today this is what I had to face.
Sleep paralysis is a common thing for me now, I get it every other day or so.
One thing I hear is voices of people I know. Many of them, like a crowd inside my head. They repeat things said throughout the day and occasionally some creepy things. For example once a voice kept repeating “you’re crazy, you’re crazy, you’re crazy” another time, the same voice kept laughing maniacally. I’m used to it now and it’s fine for me. I just go back to sleep and wait for it to wear off.
This one I had was very recent. But I’m always hearing footsteps and they’re heavy footsteps at that. Like somebodies pacing my wooden floor in boots.
Not sure what happened to me but I fell asleep at around three in the afternoon and had this angry sounding voice in my right ear saying,” ahh smile” but kinda demon like. I though maybe a ghost was in my room watching me sleep and I might have been smiling or something whilst asleep. When I woke it seemed so real and I was screaming but only a quiet mumbled scream. I’m confused lol.
First I heard the calling bell ringing … Someone is at the door … The bell rings again … I thought I woke up … But nah, next thing I heard weird birds chirping kind of sound at a very unresisting frequency … Then opened my eyes and was unable to move my body .. tho the sound continued … Finally .. was able to overcome !
I had this often in this 1-2month ,it is normal to had it?
Oftenly when i about to wake up i cant move and keep hearing muffled voices and the voices is about my dream that i just had (almost all dream is creepy), about 1-2minute later i be able to move
Been having this really bad alt key for some reaons. I’ve never had any issues with it before. But about a month ago I had my first episode and have had many more since then. Everytime it happens I’m half asleep and begin to dream, then I suddenly open my eyes and cant move. I’m always facing my wall and it’s dark, so I can’t really see. I can move my hands and feet a little and my whole body is numn. I always hear this scratching noise couples with some sort of loud muffled breathing. It sound alike someone trying to dig through the wall or floor. Even though I know it’s not real my breathing becomes uncontrollable and I begin to feel uncontrollable fear. Sometimes I go back to sleep in the middle of it and sometimes I fully wake up and jsut feel freaked out.
felt like i couldnt move and was trying to scrawm about but nothing and i was tryig to scream my mum and sisters name but in my head i was whispering but im not sure if i actually said anything, it felt like i was being sudated and abducted
I had one last night and let me tell you, a sleep paralysis is pretty weird. I’ve only experienced it twice, due to stress. First time, i opened my eyes and i couldn’t move but thanks to my interest in lucid dreaming i had some tricks to get out of the sleep paralysis. But anyways the first time i had one i heard whispering. But not scary whispering. Try to whisper the fast part of “Rap god – Eminem” and you’ll kind of hear what i heard. Last night i heard like radio signals. Then i began to hear different radio signals so they kind of mixed together and it wasn’t scary, just annoying. First i heard this thing you hear when there’s a nuclear warning on your tv/radio. Then i heard “alpha” and “beta” (military language). It was pretty weird.
I don’t know if I actually go into a dream or not but I can feel my body is asleep as I can’t move yet I’m still aware that I’m just laying down on my back.. I hear police siren noises and they get louder and louder until I open my eyes. Sometimes I can still hear the sirens even when I am fully awake.. can anyone explain why this is or what’s wrong with me
I had been able to interact with the presence I experienced at each sleep paralysis.telling it to go back to help, laughing at it or not showing fear.
I also for a time heard voices constantly at all times. It was dreadful,I thought I was a target of witchcraft because I did had an enemy at that time.
I have been struggling with a meth addiction, I know understand it is that the root of my symptoms…
Yet all the voices in every experienced have been malevolent, dark and but the one consistent voice had been the witch and the showdow man…
All the trouble I had is cause by my addiction, other then that nothing else has occurred out of this evil entities during sleep paralysis so don’t give in to fear…
I can actually hear a conversation during my episode of sleep paralysis.
I’m 18 and I just experienced this about 20 minutes ago and now I’m searching around about what just happened to me so I can find a answer then I found this. So family takes care of my niece(1y/o) and nephew(5y/o). While my parents are at appointments I have to baby sit them lucky for me it’s nap time for them and me too. It is storming outside as well like some others have said (coincidence?) on and off and my dog is deathly afraid of thunder so to avoid him crying and waking the kids I decide to take a nap on the couch with him. The paralysis happened twice but I couldn’t see anything I could only hear things and I couldn’t wake up. The first time it happened It sound as if there was something heavy scattering quickly back and forth on a scaly stomach on the outside of our living room baby gate. I swore it was my nephew getting into something but I couldn’t get up and all of sudden it got really loud and it felt as it had came next to me just sitting. I was able to break out of it though by breathing deeply only to find nothing in the house happened it was “normal” and quiet, all kids asleep. The second one I heard my nephews door open (since it’s spring and humid our doors get sticky with the paint) then open my nieces door I immediately panicked cause I didn’t want her to wake up it’s the precious nap time then when I realized couldn’t open my eyes or wake up I tried calling out but it was like a frog was in my throat like I couldn’t make a good sound just a odd hum. It makes no sense to me I don’t understand I really thought something was there. It sounded so real. I of course contacted my mother after the second one. I’m really cant wrap my head around this 🙁
I remember the first time I had a sleep paralysis, it was when I was 12 years old and my first experience is kinda traumatic for I really got scared to sleep alone again, now I am 18 and I had thousand if not hundreds of it, I have discovered that I always get sleep paralysis everytime I take a quality sleep and sleep again after few hours. I could still see scary stuffs during sleep paralysis especially the woman with a long scary hair from the japanese horror movie, I even hear loud noises and sometimes verry loud that I almost thought my ears would explode, But its such a good experience now, sometimes I talk to them like I am not afraid and sometime I fight them, i could somewhat controll it for I know that everything that’s there were created by my mind, sometimes I think about s*x too and it kinda feels as if its true.
I’ve had these experiences since I was a teenager. It totally freaked me out the first time. It was like my body slowly went numb starting from my head to my toes, leaving my eyes still open. For about 30 sec I couldn’t move, couldn’t blink, couldnt speak until I basically blacked out. When I woke up I thought it had been just a flook until it kept on happening again and again. Luckily, I never had any hallucinations or anything like that. They even stopped for a couple of years. However, they unfortunately came back a couple days ago but this time it was worse. Usually it only happens once before I fall asleep and I eventually get myself out of it. But this time it went for way longer then usual and there was a voice that kept saying “hello.” Like I was being greeted by an old friend. Super creepy my peeps. Wouldn’t recommend.
So I’ve been having a hard time sleeping. I go to sleep at like 1-2am and I wake up at 4am. Yesterday at night I was sleeping but I could somehow felt like I was awake. I heard people laughing like for example, when the cartoon characters are at a restaurant and people are talking and laughing, maybe you guys know what I’m talking about? But anyways it wouldn’t stop and I was getting scared, I finally decided to open my eyes and all I heard was laughter. It just wouldn’t stop. Finally after like 30 seconds of me being awake it stopped and I felt so weird trying to go back to sleep.
Literally just had it and its honestly scary af. I went to sleep and i thought i woke up but ig it was sleep paralysis. I woke up in the sofa and it was nightime
I have no idea what time it was. So i went back to sleep and started hearing these weird futuristic noises bruh like shit you would hear in an alien spaceship then i stared hearing crickets and i woke up. I tried to get up but couldnt then i started to get scared so i actually tried to get up and it worked but not for long i got about 10 feet away before i felt one of my feet yank back. Its as if i was chained to the sofa by one foot and the ither i could move. Next thing i know i wake up irl its 2:46 pm and i was taking a nap. Note i went to sleep at 2:40 so this episode lasted 6 mins it honestly felt forever and it felt so real its an extremeley scary situation
Firstly, I just want to say that as someone who was just recently baptised as a Cathlic of my own accord.. To the other Christians above commenting about demonic influences and that these people need to be saved… Oh, Please! This is nothing of the sort and I pity you because viewing the world like that and living in constant fear must suck.. The cause is archetypal at worst, and what is happening is that at the end of NREM, your sleep shifts to REM. Your eyes move quickly and dreams occur, but the rest of your body remains relaxed. Your muscles are “turned off” during REM sleep. The body does this to keep the itself safe from movement and you are basically becoming aware and stuck between dreaming and waking. the other extreme would be sleep walking.
I’ve heard hundreds of children laughing (creepy) , people in my house, felt things in my bed. The trick is to not be afraid (having a dog who sleeps in the bed with you really helps). Then, you can train yourself to do really cool things like Astral projections, lucid dreaming, or out of body experiences. This is a gift, not a demonic curse or whatever. You ain’t seen a real demonic possession and I hope you never do. Chances are you never will, unless you think every little thing is demonic, in which case maybe YOU’RE the one who’s under their influence… They love fear! Stay safe everyone. God bless!
I just want to say before you read this is really weird im just warning you!! Ok so don’t judge me I once did not sleep for a whole 24 hours and I was pretty tired sp i thought that i would go to sleep and I started to drift of to sleep and then all the sudden i was in sp and i saw some girl figure in the corner of my bedroom she said my name and said i love you it started to come closer at that point I got scared i tried to move obviously i couldent and she got closer then went on the left side that i always sleep on and pulled all of her clothes off l! I know pretty weird well thats not it she got on top of me and pulled my pants and boxers off at that point i got pretty horny don’t make fun of me please anyway she started to rub my stomach slowly and then lifted up a little and then it started to put my penis in her vagina and went up and down on it and then i started to hear quit moaning i didn’t realise what i was hearing then i started to know but then it got louder and then she got up and kissed me and started to suck my penis then all the sudden i was awake no one there and it has seemed that I have had sperm in my boxers
I had a dream about me puking a lot of blood in a trash can and in a bathroom. And then the dream ended. And all the sudden I heard whispering in my room just like I did last night. But this time it was saying “I taste delicious blood absolutely delicious.” In the same scary voice that I heard yesterday night after another dream. Any thoughts on how to make this stop. I already told it to go away but I don’t know if that actually worked or not.
It was around 5 in the morning and i was tired so i went to bed.
Few mins past and i hear my phone playing audio. Its playing something i was watching on youtube earlier in the day. As i tried to turn it off i noticed i could not move. My eyes are closed and i feel something pulling on my head to make me turn it. I feel as if im being choked but i can breath through my nose. I can move my fingers and toes but it doesn’t work. I wake up from it and see the time and it was 6 30.. it lasted very long
Just had my first experience. So my bed is against the wall in the corner of the room, and I’m laying on my side facing the wall. Woke up to feeling like my father was trying to wake me up but he wasn’t actually here in the same house I was so I quickly discarded that thought. So then I then thought it was my dog, a great Dane, then quickly came to realize it was something else. Something worse! Felt as something big was near me, holding me down but not really grasping me. Then all I hear is this deep loud sniffing sound, like whatever it was was smelling me. My entire body was paralyzed. I was able to move my toes and my left hand fingers. I struggled to move. As soon as I felt this I was pissed off not being able to move or do anything about it. As soon as whatever it was went away, I immediately through my blankets off and turned my phone flashlight on and didn’t see anything/ anyone. I proceeded to search and clear the house just in case.
I have had several sleep paralysis experiences since I was a child mostly visual which I can close my eyes and ignore. Last night I felt hot breath on my neck whilst someone whispered “hello stranger” it sent a shock of fear through me for a moment. Then I remembered no fear and laughed said “God bless you” and heard a loud shreiking before immediately breaking out of sleep paralysis.
