		<description>I doubt that thing had been a demon ,also doubt you had been awoke  this is what you say and what you felt but in fact you hadn&#039;t been asleep . let me explain more :
when we are asleep our soul gos to another place and even sometime gos to another world ( deaths world ) to understand what is going there or may somebodies soul tended to meet his familiar deceases in that world. when he meets them or other deceases (accidental)  after that  meeting when he want return to this world some irritable souls don&#039;t let him to come back therefore he involves in a critical situation .He wish does return but he is not able . some time such persons would never comeback to this word and they would death while that sleeping  but some persons soul struggles and may save  themselves from that predicament and get back to this world or may merciful god or his holy servants  help them to get rid of that situation. totally I don&#039;t know what had been that presence specially as you say he seemed to be an evil .</description>

		<description>Sleep paralysis and cataplexy are both extremely disconcerting experiences.  I have had many bouts of sleep paralysis, accompanied by the feeling of something evil around me.  I finally found the cause of my experiences when I was diagnosed with the sleep disorder narcolepsy.  Narcolepsy is characterized by the unbearably strong urge to fall asleep even if you are not tired.  It becomes like a pressure on your brain, something pulling down a heavy weight on your head and you cannot fight it....you fall asleep.  Cataplexy occurs in people with narcolepsy when they are experiencing extreme emotions, whether it&#039;s very happy, very sad or very stressed.  You lose control of your muscle system and can fall down abruptly.  Fortunately in my case, I am able to control the condition with medication and am no longer bothered by sleep paralysis.  I have heard that some cases of narcolepsy do not always respond well to medication and are harder to control. I would like to stress for the sake of &quot;sayf&quot; whose comments above prompted me to comment, narcolepsy is a physical medical condition, not related at all to a mental illness.  I know how frightening these experiences can be, even to the extent of a person having hypnogogic audio and aural hallucinations.  Perhaps anyone else having these experiences should consider an evaluation by a neurologist just to first rule out any paranormal cause of their experiences.  I do believe in the paranormal and am not suggesting that the answer I found to my sleep paralysis, is necessarily the explanation for the experiences of others.</description>

		<description>hi
this has happened to many many times, i am a very religious person and im muslim i think it has something to do with the super natural and science , muslims believe in an entity called jinn it will never be seen or heard just felt, it can also posses you but its extremely rare but night attacks like these can be quite common. no words come out like what happened to you and i struggle to breathe as though there is a huge heavy weight on your chest. my advise is to sleep as comfortable as possible and not on your back plus leave an extremely dim light in the room in case you feel nervous, it helps relax your brain and your fear will reduce.
hope this helps xxx</description>

		<description>Same exact thing happened to me a few times...the scenario, I can definitely put into words; awakening from a bad dream, can&#039;t remember the dream but I know I&#039;m scared to death. I&#039;m pressed down on my bed, can&#039;t move...like something is keeping me down. My hearing is not good...like my ears are covered or something. It lasts for 10-15 seconds then it just disappears. The FEELING, I cannot describe other than pure terror...like I&#039;m being invaded by evil. I don&#039;t know whether its a natural phenomenon or if for a mere few seconds I have opened my self up to something otherworldly. I just hope it never happens again.</description>

		<description>i don&#039;t know if i had brain damage or had to do with auditory hallucinations or sleep deprivations or schizophrenics or whatever but yesterday I was in the living room, sitting on a couch while facing a small balcony... at that time there wasn&#039;t any strong wind or rain either and all the windows are closed and i wasn&#039;t asleep yet, i just close my eyes. suddenly i felt chilly as though someone was watching me. i felt a presence of a woman in white (i couldn&#039;t see her feet nor her face) was standing at the small balcony watching me, at the moment i closed my eyes but i could somehow feel the presence (i trust my instincts because they are always right) and i  guessed it right. suddenly i could really feel a gust of wind just blew directly towards me, and only me. the direction of the wind blew to me wasn&#039;t IN FRONT  of me (like i said i was facing the balcony). and all of the sudden my whole body paralyzed. i could not move my eyes, my hands, my legs, my body, my mouth, my head - everything. the pressure is terrifying. i felt the couch was moving by itself. i tried to move, but i couldn&#039;t. i don&#039;t know what to do because i don&#039;t have any control. i could only pray to God in my heart for &quot;it&quot; to stop and leave me alone. after a while, &quot;it left&quot; and i was relieved i could move my fingers and body ... i look around at the same spot and i had goosebumps... and this was my first time having it. and i hope i won&#039;t get to feel this disgusting experience again. after i had this, my brain hurts alot. both supernatural or scientific reasons, please just state why i&#039;m having this. would appreciate it a lot.

i tried to find similar experiences like this on the internet and i found out about this mental condition called cataplexy but i also find this website whereby a lot of people share their same experiences which caused by some &quot;entities&quot;? 

so is it just a state of mind or is it really something bothering us?</description>

		<description>a while ago i learned that the number 3 is demonic in the spirit world. like for example, you can tell if a spirit is demonic if you get 3 scratches or something like that.</description>

		<description>Let me clear something up. ITS NORMAL. i have had sleep paralysis 3 times. the first time i almost shit my pant, i awoke from a dream and felt there to be a demon in my room. I was 6 at the time. I then realized i couldnt move, and felt a pressure pushing down on me. When I woke up and went to my mom, she told me what had happened was a NORMAL thing to happen. the next to times it happened, i have told my self to relax, and i no longer felt, a &quot;demon&quot; in my room. THE &quot;DEMON&quot; is our own fear. also, some of you are schizophrenics. sorry to break that news to you. but to the rest of you, your house OR YOU are not haunted by demons.</description>

		<description>i have been dealing with sleep paralysis since i was about 5 or 6 and im 23 now. The way i usually break out of it is by forcing one of my eyes to stay open and controlled heavy breathing. i do this so that way i can tell something is really happening to me instead of thinking its a dream and then that sinking feeling starts taking over.</description>

		<description>I have had the same thing happen to me about 6 times since I was 16. (I am 21). I believe that the digging of the grave was what caused it. I believe that it is demonic oppression, due to the way we live our lives. When you mess with things that are known to be wrong or evil or something like that - you open yourself up to DEMONS ! I&#039;m not trying to sound preachy but as I said these things have happened to me and I have done a lot of biblical research on them.

The 1st time I had this experience I lived at my parent&#039;s house. We are Christians and went to church but I was dabbling in drugs &amp; I believe that&#039;s what caused it. My &quot;dream&quot; was pitch black &amp;&amp; I heard a voice but I don&#039;t even know what it said I just sensed it was evil .... and I went &quot;lalalalala&quot; to block it out in my head (sounds stupid but I did) -- anyways, after that I started trying to say &quot;in the name of jesus in the name of jesus&quot; but I couldn&#039;t open my mouth or move my arms or legs or anything ! when i would try to move I would feel kind of tingly -- finally though after a lot of trying I could finally open my mouth and I soon as I could whisper it (there was pressure on my throat) it went away.... I hopped up, turned my tv to preaching, got my bible out and prayed ! i was fine for awhile after that.

Since then I have had about 5 other experiences. But I know where to turn ! Turn to GOD ! Everything is spiritually motivated - there is only Angels &amp; Demons. There are no ghosts/vampires/fairies - If something is messing with you &amp; you can sense evil it is a demon! and you need to pray! God is the only answer. If you open yourself up to demonic activity it will find you ! It isn;t pyschological it is real evil. Like the saying goes, &quot;the smartest thing the devil ever did is convince people he doesn&#039;t exist&quot;  you need to DRAW NEARER TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEARER TO YOU ! But i totally sympathize i was terrified each and everytime, but my dad (who is actually a pastor) told me not to be afraid, because they feed off of your fear. i know it&#039;s hard but you just have to believe in God. He will help you !</description>

<p>The 1st time I had this experience I lived at my parent&#8217;s house. We are Christians and went to church but I was dabbling in drugs &amp; I believe that&#8217;s what caused it. My &#8220;dream&#8221; was pitch black &amp;&amp; I heard a voice but I don&#8217;t even know what it said I just sensed it was evil &#8230;. and I went &#8220;lalalalala&#8221; to block it out in my head (sounds stupid but I did) &#8212; anyways, after that I started trying to say &#8220;in the name of jesus in the name of jesus&#8221; but I couldn&#8217;t open my mouth or move my arms or legs or anything ! when i would try to move I would feel kind of tingly &#8212; finally though after a lot of trying I could finally open my mouth and I soon as I could whisper it (there was pressure on my throat) it went away&#8230;. I hopped up, turned my tv to preaching, got my bible out and prayed ! i was fine for awhile after that.</p>
<p>Since then I have had about 5 other experiences. But I know where to turn ! Turn to GOD ! Everything is spiritually motivated &#8211; there is only Angels &amp; Demons. There are no ghosts/vampires/fairies &#8211; If something is messing with you &amp; you can sense evil it is a demon! and you need to pray! God is the only answer. If you open yourself up to demonic activity it will find you ! It isn;t pyschological it is real evil. Like the saying goes, &#8220;the smartest thing the devil ever did is convince people he doesn&#8217;t exist&#8221;  you need to DRAW NEARER TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEARER TO YOU ! But i totally sympathize i was terrified each and everytime, but my dad (who is actually a pastor) told me not to be afraid, because they feed off of your fear. i know it&#8217;s hard but you just have to believe in God. He will help you !

		<description>Hey! I&#039;m only 13, but i had a similar experience a year ago. I was lying in bed and all of a sudden, i see a bright bright light. Kinda like ur blind but instead of seeing pitch black, everything was white. It felt as if someone was shaking me. Then my eyes open (i can move any part of my body) and i see this man figure. I could see through him and he said that hes going to get my mom. So i try to yell so that my mom would hear me. Nothing came out. All I had to say was, &quot;mom i love u. please dont get my mom. she means the whole world to me&quot; and then it went away. i was covered with sweat and i was able to move again. I had some more experiences also when i was little.</description>

		<description>The reason for that is because the very fact that you are paralyzed brings on a primal fear deep in the brain and kick-starts a nightmare while you are still half asleep. 

When you are fully asleep, your brain shuts off your muscles so that you don&#039;t act out your dreams. When you have sleep paralysis, your brain has woken up only partially and this is when your body realizes for the first time that it can&#039;t move and this elicites panic, which in turn brings on a nightmare. It&#039;s the same reason why you have nightmares after watching a horror movie. Fear breeds bad dreams, and since you are still in a dreaming state while in sleep paralysis, you have bad experiences.</description>

		<description>If sp is a medical condition why is it surrounded by such evil and terror? It&#039;s happened 4 times to me and I literally thought something was trying to steal my soul. A fear far beyond anything I&#039;ve ever felt.  I was awake and aware of my surroundings . Couldn&#039;t move or scream.  Tried to say my wifes name to wake her and nothing. Seems like it lasted forever. Everytime it ended when the dark figure got close enough to feel. Never woke from it was just able to move and speak again. I was already awake</description>
