I’m 25 and very aware of my surroundings. I have always felt presences, heard things, seen things move/shadows. Never have I had a clear experience where I actually seen something, but I still had experiences related to that.
A year ago, as I lay in bed trying to go to sleep, I felt a warm/soft hand grab my wrist and hold my arm, which was pulled in the air. I was on my side, with my arm on my side. As it grabbed me, I felt my body… more like my spirit, turn… it pulled me by the arm. So, my head was where my feet were and my feet were towards the headboard. I couldn’t move, couldn’t open my eyes, couldn’t talk. I wanted to scream, but couldn’t. My face was up, eyes were closed and I could feel something looking at me. I had a strong feeling as if someone’s face was directly in mine, staring… or like, someone stood over me, looking down… just staring. Although my eyes were closed and my sight was dark, there was one spot where it was darker, as if although my eyes were closed, the darkness of that figure was still visible through my eyelids. It just stared at me.
I was scared. Too scared, I panicked. It happened so quickly, I didn’t know what to do but think of god and ask for help. It stopped and did not happen for a long while… until a few months ago.
Again, I was trying to sleep and laid on my stomach. I refuse to sleep face up. I felt something lay behind me.. I felt a warm body laying on me, hovering me. I became paralyzed. I couldn’t move or scream. My eyes were slightly closed/open. I couldn’t move, but I fought it. In my mind, I said “Please stop… stop, GOD pleaseeeee… STOP.” I was able to move my arms a bit, and I grasped the bed and pulled myself away. I was free and able to move… I was back to normal, 5 minutes later, it happened again. However, after a few seconds of being paralyzed, it stopped. Somehow, I managed to fall asleep, scared to death.
I had a dream that same night. The same paralyzing thing that happened moments before, replayed in my dream. This time, I could see everything, as it wasn’t in the dark of the night. It was day. I didn’t see who was laying behind me, hovering over me, but in my dream, I recognized him as my deceased brother. My brother was laying on my back, covering me, “protecting” me. I asked him to stop. He didn’t. I asked why he was doing this. He said he was protecting me. I asked from what. He didn’t say anything… I asked if it was something bad. He said Yes. I couldn’t see what he was protecting me from, but my visions in the dream kept focusing on one area of my room. There was nothing in the area, but that particular area is a part of my room, I’ve always felt uneasy about, even before the paralyzation / dream.
I can’t explain what it was, I don’t know if it’s something evil, nor can I figure out what’s happening to me… I just know I’m scared and I sleep with lights on. I have faith and I pray to god for protection, but I still can’t get over the fear.
Can someone help me? Any advice?

This dream is telling you something. And your brother is telling you something too, I would keep asking him in your dreams whats going on. Or what is bad, what isit? All I can think about right now is asking him all that. And keep bothering him until he says whats going on. When you find out what is going on tell me. I have this huge book about ghosts, and demons and all of that. When you find out what it is, I will help you by looking in that huge book of mine. And one more thing wear a dolphin where ever you go. It’s suposed to protect you from evil. So mabye get a little dolphin charm…..and i’m not sure if it will work I just was reading my book and it said that. Just saying. Be careful!
Your completely safe thus far. Keep your gard up however what is happening now is your brother is finally trying to communicate with you. Need not fear your brother in life or death. Just remember an entity can and will most likely attached themselves to a past loved one in trickery. Ask questions with a dvr digital voice recorder. you may be really suprised at the communication you will endure. Let me know…. And again be CAREFUL
First thing first I am not positive/promising that any of this will work but here is my advise if you are asking for it. (1.) Put a salt circle around your bed, Salt is said to be pure and demons and such cant cross it. (2.) Holy water. Put some in a spray bottle and spray it on you and pray to god while doing so for protection and love. (3.) Silver, where silver like a bracelet or necklace anything. Silver is also said to be pure and it should help protect you. (4.) Sage, you can probably find it at a Indian or witch store, burn the sage throw the house wave the smoke around window and door frames saying firmly over and over “No evil shall enter here, this home is protected by god. Leave here and do not return. Again these are just ideas and opinons I am not saying they will work, I’m not even saying that this wont make what your brother is protecting you from more angry. I am saying however that this might help. You are in my prayers, good luck and BE SAFE!!!!
um did you get most of your ideas from a show called “Supernatural” like the one with the salt, and secondly the sage only works if you know the entity i.e. human, demon, ect… and plus how can silver be used to protect a person from evil it is just some superstitious thing. Oh and a witch store is called an a cult shop or an Wiccan shop. snd sorry for being mean with this reply
truth within the hidden truth – The use of salt and sage have been around and well known long before “Supernatural” (In fact centuries before)
An a cult store?
There are a lot of different types of stories here. I wouldnt expect anyone to like all of them. I wonder why you are so upset by people who believe in the Bible posting on a website? You are free to post your thoughts just as they are.
Dear Truth within the ….etc….
I think you mean “occult shop”. You are obviously not very well read in the topics about which you seem to be proselytizing. While I agree that many of the posts seem to be an opportunity to individuals to promote Christianity, etc., and frankly I find them irritating at best, I really think that if one is going to post a difference of opinion, one had better get their facts straight first. Cleansing with sage has long been a practice started centuries ago. You are incorrect in saying that one must know the name of the entity in order to effectively cleanse their space with sage. As for the salt, this too has been an age-old practice, and there must be preparation of the salt first before using it for protection. While I discount many of the stories I read herein as they seem to be written by very young, naive people who seem to be trying to reach out to others for attention by proclaiming paranormal experiences or attempts at possession that seem to be “the in thing” today, I do find some of reports very interesting and written with a great deal sincerity. Perhaps an option for you would be to create your own site that would follow posting rules with which you agree and are comfortable. In the meantime, I would incorporate a little more tact in your communication skills.
Kind Skeptic – VERY well put!
While I’m not an “on your knees type of person”, I can share that I do believe you are suffering from nothing more than Sleep Paralysis which is very common. SP can be extremely disconcerting for the individual who is experiencing it as it can also include halluncinations that seem very real. Before you label your experience as an attempt at demonic possession or some other paranormal event, please do a bit of research on SP as I’m sure you will find your symptoms to be well noted in the detail. There are numerous things you can do to help you eliminate SP, or at least, keep it at bay, many of which include diet, excercise, meditation (some people prefer to call it prayer — whatever it is you’re comfotable with), stress release practices, etc. I think it would do you well to pursue these positive options before you embrace some demonic or paranormal explanation. Take care…..
No I got none of those ideas from that show I have never even heard of it. As for being mean in the reply remember I said it was an opinion and no one has to take the advice.
i agree ask keep asking your brother questions about whats he doing innyour dream.that does sound scary .i hope you find out what whats it about.when you do let us know.maybe its an ex boyfriend thats giong to do something thats why your brother is protecting you thats just my guess.be safe.thats for the story.
um… that is b.s. this sounds like one of those stories used to scare children into being more religious rather than doing what they want. sigh ! this site is filled with to much religious responses that it is losing it’s meaning towards the paranormal phenomena and study. its like a decaying matter about the paranormal allowing really annoying people who are bias and literal towards the biblical stories of creation and other things to just create stories to be more religious or to convert to Christianity or other religions branching from Christianity.
oh and i think you are suffering from an extreme case of sleep paralysis and some type of poltergeist which is a negative psychic energy manifesting itself . and seeing your brother in your dream could mean that you used to look up to him as a guardian so your dreams are trying to explain the events that had occurred because that is what a dream is usually made of nothing but your brain trying to understand what event just occurred.
similar thing happen to me
before.but if i tell then it will be a long story,
but have faith in your God Aly,
He is the only solution……….
Just to add on , spend more time with your God on your knees then he will show you the answer…and it reguires patience…hell wait for the right time to show you…
I wouldn’t do anything. You don’t want to risk angering it, and so far it seems your brother is protecting you just keep having faith babe. Try talking to a pastor or preist you trust, you may also want to keep this fairly confidential, so people won’t start nasty rumors about you (we don’t want a repeat of Salem). I have to say this stuff horifys me and i can’t tell if something is bothering me or it is just my imagination. Another piece of advise, get a dog. All animals are in tune to that kinda thing, so it may help distinguish between mind games and something actually paranormal. Train it to sleep in your room and get a dog thats barks alot (aviod yappy purse dogs and large silent hounds) Good luck and god bless you.
i think ur brother is trying to tell u something…. he is protecting u… if u see him again in ur dreams keep asking him over end over sgain..
Thank you all for the comments. I noticed a few people “trip” over mentioning the whole religion thing. I mentioned it because in an experience like that, it is what I felt and thought of at the moment. I’m not trying to scare anyone into running to their local church for protection, it’s just MY experience. To each his own, no?
I’m not one to quickly jump on demonic possessions or evil spirits, I was just scared and wanted some input. To someone that has had their share of scary experiences, it frightened me. I couldn’t explain it… and, you know.. some people fear the unexplained.
To Follow-up: I looked into SP and it does seem like a logical explanation (THANK YOU!!!!).
I haven’t experienced this since.. It was actually just those few times. HOWEVER, I still feel very uneasy about my room.. same spot, same feeling. My house has had a brief history of things happening in it, stemming from an aunt getting into some type of witchcraft when I was younger . BUT, that’s another story.
Thank you all for the input!
The people of old put blue things around thier new born babies to keep away evil spirits it was mostly bone with boys but thats not the point,the point is the people of old may of been on to something, i have been keeping blue things around my bed for around seven years and have had no further trouble with this evil thing,all i ask is spread the word please,its hard knowing how to stop some thing and having to read how people are still suffering from it and i know how bad it can be.
Happens to me a good bit. The memories seem foggy. Like a haze like i was looking from my spirit. Physically i didn’t move but i felt my spirit was turned around and laid on the floor or my arms shoot straight up. Nothin hurts but its weird. I know a few people its happend to but much more violent. Do you feel like something is always staring at you or always in your room? It sucks that’s for sure…
