Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My name is Trisha and I am 19 years old. I have started having sleep paralysis in the last month. These experiences scare the living crap out of me. I feel like I can’t even explain the kind of fear I felt in the two experiences I have had with this so far.

Experience 1:

This happened around 1:00 pm when I decided to take a nap. I was laying on my stomach. My roommate was still in the room and I could hear her moving around when I suddenly could see this shadowy figure walk over to me and hug me from behind which caused a pressure like feeling on my back. My eyes weren’t open but I could still see everything in my room and this figure. When it started hugging me I instantly couldn’t move or speak. I then heard my room mate open the door and leave. Right after this the figure laid down on my back and I could feel the pressure on my whole body. Its hands started running down my sides stopping at my hips where it started moving my body. I was trying to scream out for help but I couldn’t. It slowly moved my body off of the bed and on to the floor. It then proceeded to drag me across the room until I hit the wall under my desk where the chairs usually go. I couldn’t move or speak but I could feel my body dragging across the ground. I then gained my movement back and stood up.

I ran out side of my dorm room but it was different because the hall way turned out to be never ending. I knew I was dreaming and I started ripping and pulling at my hair to try and wake my self up. I tried screaming as loud as I could but nothing came out. I then felt a numbness come over me. I could move my fingers but I couldn’t feel anything. I then struggled to come out of my sleep. it was like a pulling in and out. when I finally woke up I didn’t feel rested but extremely exhausted. I have never been so scared in my life and it eve brought me to tears.

Experience 2:

About three weeks later on march 10 at about 4:00 am it happened again. I could see my self sleeping on my bed in my room but I was not in my body. I was suddenly pulled back into my body and I heard a women whisper into my ear “Let her in” and then almost instantly I was put into a paralysis. this time I felt like I was tied down and a shadow that looked like a hand form around my neck and started choking me. I started having a really hard time trying to breath. I screamed in my head “Jesus” and calling out for help. After this it went away as fast as it came on but as I reached to turn on my lamp my lamp wouldn’t turn on. I knew I still wasn’t awake and this rage came over me and broke the lamps light bulb in my hand and then chucked my lamp across my room. I ran out of my room to my parents but the wouldn’t wake up. I started banging on walls and doors and trying to scream so they would wake up and then I suddenly woke up for real and I turned on my lamp. I was so scared I was almost in a shocked state. I then looked at my left arm and there where these red marks as if I was actually tied down by something. I instantly started crying I was so scared.

This is affecting me so much. I won’t go to sleep unless I’m so exhausted I can’t help it because I’m so scared of this happening to me again. I really don’t know what to do. if anyone can give me advice on how to stop this or if you’ve had this happen to you please tell me.
