I believe in science and the big bang. I am also a roman catholic. I don’t practice in the occult, witchcraft, or the dark arts. I don’t use a Ouija board. I am not a crazy religious nut either. Sleep paralysis has happened to me and I would like to say with 100 % certainty that there are things that science can’t explain. I am saying science is right in saying there is a time in sleep where a human body paralyzes itself so not to act out dreams. Yes, this only makes sense. Can a person wake up before the effects are through? Yes. Why would a human experience of a negative presence in a room that lays on top of people be so common throughout history if there was not some merit to it and the spiritual world? Science tries to say it is the dream experience and my own fantasy but I disagree because why can’t I have Angelina Joe Lee show up or someone with a check for a million dollars? It is a spiritual entity in the room and only those that have experienced this type of visitation can understand me.
The first time it happened to me the entity didn’t walk on my bed but more floated over me, despite it not having a physical being. It was a darkness… a presence. It laid on my upper body and I felt extreme pressure on my neck… it was chocking me. I was very frightened and used all my energy to move but I couldn’t. I prayed in my head to St. Michael and the entity vanished as I continued to pray to God. The single most terrifying event of my life that brings tears in my eyes to talk about out loud since it confirmed the spiritual. I told the spirit to get out and never come back when I could move again. A very important step I have noticed in many of these sleep paralysis stories I read online.
Years later I saw a dark presence that looked like a female (definitely not the same scary negative being as before.) It came over me and I felt the same inability to move. In my head I prayed again and tried to move with all my might. She left very quickly… vanishing. This was not a violent occurrence and since an event like this had happened to me before it was not as scary. I told it to get out of my home and never come back. I had no desire to see it again and only wondered what difference the entity had with the first visitor.
The third time it happened I was in my new home after living there for almost a year with two roommates. I saw a dark female presence over me while in my bed. Being experienced with this, I knew what would happen. I could not move but felt the being get closer and closer… a few inches from my face close. It left after I prayed more and used all my inner strength to fight it off despite my inability to move. It left towards the door… vanishing. The third situation wasn’t violent but was scarier then the second time since the entity had much more of a physical form then the other two visits.
I later read up on sleep paralysis and have not had another situation like it. May it be my own inner strength or something else. I do not foresee it happening again. I didn’t tell the third being to leave like I had before since I was so tired after the event and went back to sleep. The morning after the spirit almost felt enticing and I almost wished she would visit again… maybe a charm element she had to try and make me try and summon her. A succubus element possibly. It didn’t come back to my bedside and I never called out to it either.
My roommate who lived right next door to me continually got depressed and tired. I feel the entity decided it had an easier target to go after our brief altercation and fed on him for a while. He claims to not have had any experiences but I noticed he was even more tired and extremely depressed as the days went by claiming to not get good rest and sleeping til late hours in the afternoon.
I waited now with more fear and no charm for any other spirit to arrive again in my room but luckily none came. I did sense a negative presence in my new house before the third incident that was definitely not that the same as any of the visits. You can feel when negative energy is around you when your awake and that to me is frightening since I have never seen a ghost while fully awake. My roommates and I were all stressed and they were depressed for different reasons (girl troubles, deaths in the family, money issues, school, etc. ) and I felt the negative energy was easy for a being of that sort to be attracted to and try and feed on. I understand it needs energy to sustain itself but I refuse to be a host to any entity of that nature.
This isn’t a vampire sucking your blood and then you wake up with powers and burn in the day light. This is a scary experience where your body is paralyzed and has to “fight” to not have its life energy taken through inner strength. The violence I felt the first time I felt this experience was to rise fear and large amounts of energy out of me while also attacking me… trying to kill me to get my life energy. A visit from a spirit good or bad would be more acceptable if I still had the ability to move… there is a difference between a spirit who is going to feed on your energy while you sleep and a spirit that will say hello in its own unique way while your awake… noises, brief appearance, moving objects on its own, etc. I do have contempt and fear of the first visit experience ever happening again.
This is why I check out these kind of sleep paralysis forums to see any common threads in peoples stories. I believe these entities are more of what people call demons and can also be negative souls without the ability to move on trying to cling on to this life by feeding on others for a little more time.

Try to move your big thumb or say something bad this trick always work for me
I believe what your saying when u said this thing or entity feeds off our life energy. I’ve had 4 of these experiences. They SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME! Weird thing is they only occur when i fall asleep on my back. So i stopped sleeping like that & with prayer every night i havent had any more. The scariest one i had was what it seemed to be woman hovering over me.My sheet was up to my chest so i tried to pull it over my head but my hand & wrist just wouldn’t let me grip the sheet to pull it up.It was like the feeling u get when ur hand feels so ticklish that u cant squeeze.But cranked up times 3.It was painful that i could hear myself crying.I did manage to get the sheet over my head despite the pain. I was that scared. And thats when i felt myself being pulled off the bed by my ankles.I still had that sheet over me. It (she) dragged me passed my dresser & into my dining room.I could kinda see through my sheets so i know i was directly under the ceiling fan.Then it Yanked the sheet from me & hovered again as if it was definitely trying to intimidate me. Thats when i managed to wake myself up. My body was so worn out from just tryna get that sheet over my head & just plain old trying not to let this thing take me. My boyfriend has witnessed me having these episodes.He has awakened me out of 2 of them where he heard me crying but he said i sounded like i was moaning & crying. Loud enough to wake him up. I wonder if this could be stress & anxiety related also. I dont know. But i do know i havent had any since i started praying them away before i close my eyes at night.
I have experienced like these a year ago, in my room,& in a dorm miles away from my hometown.
I can recall three of these experiences. One of them was when I was a teenager. I felt something heavy on my chest nearly choking the life out of me. I was terrified and told my Dad. He gave me a scapular of our Lady. After that it did not happen to me.
The other two experiences happened after I got married. My husband was away and my daughter had stayed with her friends. I was alone in my bed. In the early hours of dawn, I felt this thing next to me. I felt the hair on its head but I could not see it. I felt its presence next to me on the bed. It was a sort of sad entity who was longing for love. I was paralyzed not only with fear but my whole body was frozen. I could not move at all. I prayed to God and eventually I was able to move. I read about sleep paralysis but I cannot figure out how the same thing happened twice.
Then sometimes at night, especially when I am alone I wake up with this paralyzing unexplained fear and a sense of evil and when I pray I feel better.
You may not like this suggestion, but since I have had paranormal experiences unrelated to this, I’ll share with a very very simple solution. And I know you’ll laugh….
Sleeping pills. I used them because of sleep problems in general, but ever since I take those…well frankly spirits could life the bed and carry me to the local Walmart, and I’ll wake up fresh and relaxed the next day.
Slip away to an island of tranquility…and if they want to slam doors, and blow sheets BLAH BLAH BLAH (HOW cliche!) go ahead. I’m so deep in sleep they’ll never bother me again!
Hi, just had that experience, that is why I am Typing this. I’ve been getting sleep paralysis since I was 13. I’ve had over 150(give or take 50) experiences.

Im not happy to see that you guys are suffering from this scary situation…but i am happy to see that Im not the only one who’s experienced these frighting episodes.
Prayer defin. helps me overcome that dark sense of fear. Like JCStuff said, I’ve had quite a few, near a few hundreds..
I think it was about 3.30 AM when i was wide awake lying on my back in bed, my then partner lying next to me, fast asleep, when i heard the bedroom door open, icould hear the bottom of the door brush along the carpet. Then something started to float towards me, it was allmost midget like,it had a long hooded cloak on, i couldnt see a face yet.. it got on top of me, sat on my stomach, it stuck what looked like thick curved claws into both sides of my chest, it was a painful tickling feeling, i tried to cry out , but was unable too, all i could do was stare at it , when suddenly, it showed its face from under its hood, it was like a witches face, staring at me intensly, very scary, then it climbed off me and left the room, i was wide awake , then able to move, i woke my partner and told her about it…she never heard a thing!!!
