Have you ever woke up to find yourself completely paralyzed, unable even to scream? This strange phenomenon does happen to a lot of people.
Since history began there have been reports of people who had awakened from a nightmarish sleep only to find themselves unable to move or even make a sound. Typically the person will feel like they had just had a very bad nightmare, but they will not be able to remember what it was about. You just have this feeling of terror and helplessness. Sleep paralysis generally lasts only a few seconds. though it may seem like much longer to the person experiencing it.
I have personally experienced sleep paralysis and I am sure that many of you have either had this happen to you or you know of someone else who went through it.
Modern science calls this condition sleep paralysis and tries to offer a logical explanation of how it happens. The old timers said that sleep paralysis was caused by a paranormal entity they called The Old Hag.
A very good friend of mine has written a very nice introduction to the phenomenon of Sleep Paralysis as well as a background of what is known as The Old Hag or The Night Hag.

all you can really do is have faith in God. Pray with him at night. It really does help. tell him to talk to you about it.

I thought i was the only one who had the old hag syndrome.i feel better knowing that i am not alone and not crazy i get sp every night. nightmares too i don’t wish this on my worst enemy
My earliest memory is of seeing a red haired boy. He would come stand next to my bed, sometimes alone and sometimes with many faceless people. He would just stand there gazing at me, I would be terrifed screaming out for a few seconds unable to move and then I would burst into loud audible screaming and run from the room.. he would still be there when i left – and i would see him day or night and not only when I was in bed. It would happen only 2 or 3 times a year, so wasn’t too often. When I was around 11 my mother would pray with me before i went to sleep, the red haired boy never visited when we had prayed. The last time i saw him i was about 14 and he had grown up to around my age – Just standing there next to my bed and this was the third house he had visited me in! After the night I prayed everynight until about two years after that when I prayed a final pray concerning him and in faith proclaimed nothing evil will come near me again.. nothing has! I am free from his haunting.
I do not believe evil can touch those filled with the Holy Spirit from God, I am God’s property and nothing evil can stand agianst my God and win.
when i sit on the couch i can feel my body slowly becaming paralised, like i cant move and then i snap out of it.
when i went to church my right arm was getting paralised.
2-3 days before hand, i had my first sleep paralysis … i finished reading my bible and i remember being upset, i closed my eyes (i was not sleep at all i just wanted to lie there) i closed my eyes and i saw this grey/black thing like a tornadoe twirling around it was like i was falling into it, i thought wow this is so cool, so i went along with then, then my neck started getting tight and something was coming up my throat as if a rubber ball is trying to get out, i still was not a sleep, i was awake !!! then my body started to get paralised and i couldnt move, but i managed to snap out of it… i sat up and heard a massive bumble bee shoot past me. and this all happened when i was awake ? lol
it happens regularly now to be fair as soon as i lie down my body begins to get paralised..
im putting it down to body being very tired…but my mind and stuff is fine
Candy,, omg….i am 51 and have had this problem my whole life!!! and the choking,, wow,, yes,, with me it feels like a metal cube with sharp edges trying to come up my throat,, when i am finally able to move, i am choking, trying to get it out…….i have sat up in bed so many times, choking, thinking i will die..
feeling of being paralyzed happens, almost on a daily basis… the choking happens now and then…. and,, i am awake, most of the time… cant move!!!! when i finally am able to move, i get up and feel nauseus, and confused.. i have even become so dizzy feeling that i have thrown up…this even happens if i am resting in my lazy boy recliner….
i have talked to doctors about this, and they all have thier opinions,,, well, it could be this, or, it could be that…. i have talked to docs. untill i am blue in the face!!!!
i have even had 2 sleep studies done.. and guess what,,, sleep apnea!!!!! well,, i have the machine ,, its called a CPAP,, i call it the , C CRAP. because it is… if you really want to feel that you cant breath, and that you are choking,, try that machine.. it sucks, and i dont use it……that machine also fills you up with air, which causes you to almost suffocate……..
anyway,, im not trying to tell anyone, not to use it,, i just cant!!!! Candy,, i was just very interested,, especailly in the choking.. i have never know anyone to have that happen, except me……
wow,, now you guys have my attention!!!! ktm
this crap is normal to me thank goodness there are scientist even interested i will to study this instead of ignoring it.
deffine,, do you also have a problem with this?? if yes,, could you explain further??? to tell you the truth,, i dont think my problem is sleep apnea….. but,, the doc. said that i stop breathing 149 times per hour…. and i could have a stroke, heart attack,, so on and so on…. i really think its more like night terrors with me.. i have always had very bad nightmares…. even after waking,,, if that makes any sence!!!!
