I’ve only ever encountered this only one time when I was 18 years old. One thing I can’t do is figure out whether this was psychological or supernatural.
The day preceding this encounter I watched 8mm with Nicholas Cage and was obsessed with horror movies at this point in time and I do remember talking about horror films with friends at College that day.
Anyway that night I remember I dreamt I was talking with a man who devil like goatee and slicked back black hair and I asked him “Do you believe in God?” and he replied back “The devil is God” and then I woke up. I remember I was lying on my stomach and I tried to move and I couldn’t. It was like something was sitting on my back and putting unbelievable pressure on it. I couldn’t breathe and I certainly couldn’t speak. I tried calling out to my parents but nothing came out except the sound of me choking. This went on for about a minute. I thought I was going to choke to death but then I called out to my sister, who passed away 8 years prior, and all of a sudden the pressure went away.
When I could move I ran to my parents room and checked to see if they were alright and it seemed fine. I was going to wake them but they were sound asleep so I just went back to my room and just sat there on my bed for about 45 minutes, with the light on, just muttering to myself “I believe in God” over and over again.
I told my mum the next day and she told me to put garlic under my pillow to ward off any evil spirits which I did for a good year or so and they never came back but I did have a terrifying ghostly dream about a year or so after when I decided to not have the garlic anymore.
I don’t sleep with the garlic anymore but I never sleep on my chest anymore. I always sleep on the side.
I told numerous people and they just thought I was sleeping when it happened but I know I was wide awake. But still I can’t tell if it was psychological or supernatural. I’ve heard both sides of the story and I agree with both arguments.
