This is legitimately one of the highest quality horror channels on RUclips. Fantastic production quality across the board. If you keep it up, you will blow up.
@@TheTapeLibraryI once had a nightmare were I was about to be attacked by the night hag but before she could reach me In the dream I called out for help and saw a tall man who looked like a demon lift the hag by her throat he began to choke her and slam her around my room he threw her against the wall and then she left and I've never seen her in my dreams since
I've seen the Fedora ghost before. It was carrying a body pillow and katana. It smelt like cheetos and Mt dew. Truly terrifying the way it spoke broken Japanese.
I recently subscribed to this channel, I have suffered twice with paralysis but was awoken by not being able to breathe, nor move. The only movement I could make was my eyes. I tried to awaken my partner who was asleep beside me because I couldn't breathe but I couldn't move even my pinky finger. I could see my bedroom and was fully aware and awake. The second time it happened was the very same except I could see a huge shadow and the feeling I got was it was definitely demonic. It slowly took on a form of a head and shoulders, it felt like it was so strong, like a mass amount of strength. I started praying and repeated in my mind the prayer with more intensity and finally was able to breathe and got out of bed. Since we moved I hadn't experienced it anymore, thank God!!! This has been my experience with this very scary sort of thing.
@@TheTapeLibraryas someone who had tons of sleep paralysis, I got used to it and to not panic or try to move during this phase. However I remembered seeing something unusual in my room, it was like an old ink pot but it looked like a square wooden artefact near my door, after the sleep paralysis was gone, this object was also gone too. It was super weird. I don't often remember these seeing things during these sleep paralysis phase, but the one I mentioned, I remember clearly seeing an object I've never seen before
I supposed I should feel grateful. I've suffered from sleep paralysis (it's basically a glitch in sleep phases) my whole life. I used to freak out because it felt so claustrophobic, but I've never seen anything during my episodes. Great episode though! I'm hooked on this channel!
The scariest thing that was adjacent to sleep paralysis but not sleep paralysis for me was when me and my partner both heard a feminine voice speak to us from the bed itself, for lack of a better explanation. There was only one word like careful or caution, and we both said "what?" To each other. Then we both realized the sound didnt come from the actual room, but from the side of our head that was laid down on the pillow.
I've had SP a handful of times. The first (and scariest time), I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a preasure on my legs. I looked down at my legs, and there was a small demon on my legs. He had actual weight to him... his added weight depressed the mattress springs down further. The demon slowly crawled up to my chest. My body now sunken deeper into the mattress from the demons added weight. It sat on my chest and just stared into my eyes while it slowly turned its head. This is similar to what a dog does when it's trying to listen to the owners command. I was finally able to move my body, and the demon disappeared. It took all the strength I had to move and break out of it. This took place in Vilseck, Germany, around 2012. Scariest thing that ever happened to me. The definition of terrifying.
I’ve suffered from sleep paralysis since I was 15 after a traumatic experience. It started out nightly with auditory hallucinations. As I got older, the hallucinations became visual, from shadow people to seeing family members who would talk to me and tell to stop fighting it, which I learned after the fact that that never happened. For days each episode, i would feel drained and discombobulated. Later into adulthood, the episodes became sexual, though these moments were few and far between and now my episodes only occur a couple of times of year, and not near as intense, but still terrifying. On one occasion I felt myself leave my body and observed myself being pulled through the floor while my body was in the bed. To me, it felt like good and evil were fighting over my soul. I’m also a frequent sufferer of lucid dreaming. I understand the science behind it, but it doesn’t mitigate the fear I feel each time it happens.
I had an instance recently where I saw a shadowy girl standing in my room, she asked “do you need me to get you some water?” and I blinked and she was gone. Finally able to move; I sat up and said “hello?” Thinking it was my roommate hearing me have a nightmare prior to the encounter, but nobody responded. Creepy as hell, but this was my third time encountering sleep paralysis, so now they’re just spooky stories I tell my friends.
I have just stumbled upon this channel, and this made my hair stand on end. I have suffered from sleep paralysis my entire life, even as a baby. It is terrifying as I am unable to breathe and I’m slowly suffocating, before suddenly gasping for breath. A few years ago I fell to sleep in my attic bedroom. I was suddenly awake and unable to breathe, but this time there I was aware that there were many people in the room, even though I couldn’t open my eyes. Suddenly I could feel gentle touched over my abdomen and chest and could knew without opening my eyes that there were many pale disembodied arms from just below the elbow, striking from the centre of my body outwards. I knew that these were female and were helping me; there was a warm peaceful feeling. Suddenly there was a wrenching sensation and I came out of my body and hovered over it for the distance of 12 inches. I was terrified and I thought I was awake and had just died. I couldn’t move or speak but was thinking about my family and children and was so frightened. Suddenly I opened my eyes and I was back in the bed. This terrified me so much I was afraid to sleep. Some years later following a stay in Hospital, it was found that I had sleep apnoea and used to stop breathing many times during the night. I now use a machine t help me breathe, and haven’t had a sleep paralysis since.
I’m so happy I found this channel. You have a wonderful narrative voice. I wanted to share one of many of my sleep paralysis experiences that has affected me the most. I was under a tremendous amount of stress after moving to another state, leaving my sick father behind in a hospital, while also 4 months pregnant & raising a 1 yr old. The move was meant to be a great thing for me & my new little family but so many awful occurrences happened in that move. Anyway, I awoke eyes wide open while on my back because my son was crying in his room. My head felt heavy & though I could move my eyes, I couldn’t get my husband’s attention right next to me. Suddenly I was grabbed by my legs, right below the knees and violently pulled towards the foot of our bed. All I could see was the closet, dark and wide open, but the darkness moved and grew bigger. I would crawl back, all the while keeping the comforter tucked in between my legs for protection, being violently tugged forward and crawling backwards frightened of what would happen to me if I left the bed. I felt this tug of war must have lasted a half hour, maybe longer all the while my son’s screaming was becoming louder and more panicked. I felt utterly helpless as my husband deeply slept a foot away from me. My concern was not just for myself but moreso for my son. I could feel pain from the pressure of the hands gripping the top of my calves every time I was yanked down. In my head, that comforter was somehow preventing me from being raped by whatever that darkness was at the foot of my bed. Suddenly, it stopped. The only sound I could hear was the thudding of my heart and nothing else. I only needed a few seconds of composure before I leapt out of bed and ran into the bedroom next to ours. There my son slept, arms splayed out above his head & legs out to both sides: his deep comfort baby sleep position. I ran my hand along his cheek and it was baby soft and completely dry. I made it out to the hall before I wept uncontrollably. In my mind, I survived nearly 30 minutes of the most frightening and hellish moment of my life. My husband woke up and had to help me back to bed. After revealing what I had just experienced, he naturally started to explain how it was all just a dream and nothing to really worry about. I couldn’t fall back asleep completely after that. That morning, before climbing into the shower, I discovered bruising on both of my legs. You could clearly make out where a thumb was as well as 3 long fingers on the other side. I couldn’t have possibly down this to myself unless I took the time to awkwardly bend and contort my hands in a position like this someone was facing me. I just wouldn’t have been feasible. My husband is so logical to a point of annoyance but admitted it was definitely strange but just that. About a month after that occurrence, I sat up in bed, asleep, and announced that I had lost the baby but it was okay. Falling back against my pillow, all the while fully asleep. My husband was pretty freaked out and tried to wake me but I was so exhausted I could barely stay awake long enough to comprehend what he was saying. The next morning, I was shocked after he told me what happened. A week later, I suffered a miscarriage at nearly 6 months pregnant. This felt like ages ago (2009) and though we never got another child but are deeply lucky to have the son we do, that dream was only the beginning of my sleep paralysis. I don’t think any have taken such a toll on me like that one did, especially since I had physical marks that coincided with the events ‘in my head’. Every other one is a cake walk compared to that first one.
Thank you for sharing, especially something so personal and I’m sure traumatising. I wish you and your family well. Hopefully these experiences will end for you one day.
@@TheTapeLibrary Thank you for taking the time to read my long comment & respond with such kind wishes. You certainly have my support! If you ever decide to cover children’s imaginary friends that resembled slender man before there ever was a ‘slender man’, then I’d be happy to tell you about my ‘friend’. I was shocked to find many people who go on to describe, with similar eerie details, of their incredibly tall shadow friends. I’m now 40, so this was 32 years ago but I can still recall fragments of him, sitting awkwardly head bent, in the corner of my room asking me about my day. I promise I’m not insane lol… obviously highly imaginative but sane 😁
@@queengenyfur I’m not sure when I’ll next do a ‘viewer episode’ but if you fancy writing your experience up at some point you can find my email in the description :)
I believe you. These things are very real and completely evil ,filled with hate. Please rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you and your loved ones and stay strong please @queengenyfur
Oh my gracious goodness I feel for you. I've also been attacked by unexplainable entities but not nearly as horrid as what you went through! I commend you for having the courage to even attempt to sleep after that again 😓
I used to get paralysis attacks. I used to see 2 really tall, think black figures, and a feeling of electricity in the atmosphere. Once staring up at my bedroom window, and later in my room. However, i since learned that i could control these attacks, and haven't had them since, bar the occasional not being able to move while half asleep, episodes.
Sleep paralysis usually happens when you're lying on your back. That's why i always sleep on my side. During sleep, we are at our most vulnerable. Our body temperature is at its lowest, our guards are completely down, and our soul consciousness can be in other realms of existence. Now, sleep paralysis induces a state where we are conscious of our environment and the temporary paralysis of our bodies, but we are also aware of or feel the presence of supernatural entities that causes a sense of dread. It is in this state where our "third eye" is open and we can see what these entities or interdimensional beings look like. When the third eye is closed, it brings us back to our day-to-day consciousness and mundane reality. It can be dangerous if these entities enter our world through a break or tear during the time when we are asleep.
I was diagnosed in 2020 with type 1 diabetes. While in the hospital, being treated, i would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and see a man, or at least the figure of one, standing at the entrance to my room, just behind the curtain. The last night i was in the hospital, i saw it again but only for a brief moment, in the bathroom right next to me. To this day i dont know what it was, but the nurses would tell me that other people on my floor saw similar things pretty regularly
I've just found this channel. I tend to binge MrBallen, Creepypasta, Whispered Diaries and other similar channels. Your storytelling is the best yet. So calm and relaxing yet totally engaging! I also prefer the british accent as I live in the UK. I can't wait to binge all your content 😁😁😁 I'm so pleased to be here early too, I'm sure this channel will blow up. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort to make quality content 👌🥰
If you like Paranormal and Ghost Hunting shows and channels. I can give you from Australia where I live called Amy's Crypt and Adelaide Haunted Horizons 👍🏻😊😎❤️
This happened to me as a teenager. I was in my bed trying to nap and I saw a man in my room. He walked to my bed and leaned over me and got very close to my face. I pretended to be a sleep but could see him because I had my eyes open just a little bit and it was getting dark, but some light was still in the room. I remember him leaning close over me and I was desperately trying to hit him in the chest to knock the air out of him to get away, but I couldn’t move or anything. It was very scary and I remember thinking about how he even got in my room in the 1st place without my mom or sisters noticing (they were home). Eventually he moved away to where I could no longer see him and I guess I must of snapped out of it because I was finally able to move and when I looked around he was gone. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.
One night I was sitting up in bed at my dad's house, a couple weeks after he had been baptized. I was 12 at the time and was up late reading a book. It was around 2am. The right corner of the wall I was facing began to get dark, and out of the darkness stepped a tall hooded being, black, darkness emanating from him and dark liquid dripping from his sleeve. As he stepped out of the darkness it sounded like stone being dragged on stone and the sound of chains. It just stood there and I was frozen for a second before throwing the covers over my head. Just then my dad burst through the door shouting my name. I took the covers off and he said "was it in here?" He took Holy Water and blessed the room. I didn't really sleep that night. In the morning after breakfast he told me that he had woken up to the sound of stone being dragged against stone and the sound of chains. He opened his eyes and it was walking by the foot of his bed. He commanded it to stop. It turned to him and said "you may be out of our reach..." Then it turned towards my bedroom, took a step and vanished. That's when he jumped up and ran into my room.
When i was a kid through my 20s i suffered sleep paralysis(nightmares) almost nightly. It was always the same I would "wake up" only to hear family talking about how i was dead. I couldn't move, barely breath. I'd begin by trying to tell them i was right there. This turned into soundless yelling, then silen screams. In my panic i felt like i was suffocating. Eventually I'd wake up for real and lay there in panic. This inspired me to learn lucid dreaming, to help recognize the "nightmares" and find a way to exit with out the panic.
I had a few weeks of reoccurring sleep paralysis after my mum died. I never saw the hag but could sense her just out of my vision but the strangest thing was I felt wind like I was outside I could feel my hair blowing no windows were open but it took my breath away
I used to have them as a teenager and young adult: never seen the Hag but the shadow figures, the whispers , being engulfed in shadows and slowly descending into the shadows . But also experienced something that is more of an Out of Body experience where I was able to see myself in bed with my eyes wide open while experiencing a sleeping paralysis ..... watching those types of "real" videos where they try to scare you gave me some nightmares so i had to stop watching them lol . One thing that works for me is mentioning the name Jesus Christ or Jesus is my Lord . Mind you I'm not overly religious but it does work for me
The first and only sleep paralysis I’ve experienced, happened to me when I was 15 or 16. I’m 25 now and it still has been the scariest moment of my life. When I went into Highschool I was able to move into the bedroom in the basement, I remember it being in the summer. I was home alone, and in the summers I would pull all nighters and stay up late playing video games. One day I took a nap mid day, and then I remember waking up like 30 mins later and I couldn’t move. I heard my door swing open, and I heard a crackling of a fire and I could feel something to the right of me but I obviously couldn’t move, I started feeling super hot. I snapped out of it, and I was drenched in sweat and felt hot but I checked around and nobody was home. It was terrifying and has stuck with me the past 10 years.
Love your channel. I'm so fascinated by other people's sleep paralysis experiences because the underlying theme/feeling is always the same- even when theyve never heard of it before. The history of sleep paralysis exists all over the world and predates wide spread communication by a long way! So it's always interesting to hear stories from all over the world. I had my first experience with sleep paralysis when i was 15, i didn't have one again until i was 18 and pregnant with my daughter. Since then I've experienced sleep paralysis several times a week and multiple times a night. The stories i could tell you!
I had sleep paralysis for the first time in my early 20s. It all started when a friend of mine was telling me about her strange experience while sleeping, now sounds like sleep paralysis. Well I just thought was interesting and thought no more about it. Then she and I went on a trip together and when I got back from the trip I started experiencing sleep paralysis. The first night it happened I felt as though something was entering my chest and literally trying to push me out of my body. My eyes were closed and everything was blackness. So I tried screaming at whatever this was that no it could not come into my body and I said in my mind in the name of Jesus Christ leave. I kept repeating that over and over and I felt it leave. Then I wok up and was terrified to go back to sleep. This same struggle happened every night for about a week and a half. On the final day. There again I was asleep but was aware again. This thing was thing to enter my body through my chest and push me out. I was able to push it out in Jesus name and it faded away, but before it left it whispered in my ear in a low gravely voice that it was going to get me. Then I woke up with the sun on my face. After no more visitations. I think this was some sort of attachment that I picked up from my friend.
@@TheTapeLibrary im sure working on these types of videos and doing the research needed can potentially add to your nightmares and sleeping paralysis . But i do love your style of content man . Thank you 🙏
I've had sleep paralysis and night terrors before, in which I tend to see a lot of spiders. But I had one interesting experience of sleep paralysis about a year ago, at my boyfriend's house around 4 in the morning. I awoke to a low, booming sound coming from the hallway, similar to what is called "brown noise." I could see what was going on around me, but I couldn't move. I kept trying to speak or make noise to wake up my boyfriend, but I had no control over my voice and could only manage to exhale silently. That's when I noticed there was something hovering in the doorway to the bedroom, unable to enter, staring at us. It had no form or face, just a very large, dark, static-like anomaly looming there, much like an electric-filled storm cloud. It was slightly transparent and took up the entirety of the space between floor and ceiling. It didn't seem harmful at first, and it drifted away toward the kitchen, where it waited for a moment before coming back. It made a steady electric sound, like a very low frequency that vibrated my ears. It was the noise that initially woke me, but it was getting louder. It seemed annoyed that we were not getting up to follow it into the kitchen, and I could feel its annoyance was aimed more at my boyfriend than at me. I started to feel afraid as I felt its anger rise, and by that point, I was able to make enough noise to wake my boyfriend so he could shake me fully awake. Of course, by that point, the demon, spirit, ghost, whatever you would want to refer to it as, was gone. I believe it was a demonic entity that had an attachment to my boyfriend, and I was capable of having the ability to see it while in sleep paralysis. I am unaware if it even realized I had witnessed it. Perhaps during sleep paralysis I was in another dimension where such things wander. Regardless, I have not seen or sensed its presence since.
I’ve grown to sort of enjoy the experience. I hallucinated during first few times it happened to me. In fact, I didn’t know what sleep paralysis was the first time it happened to me, and genuinely believed I had been visited by aliens until I googled it. Now I’m able to “overpower” the experience and enjoy the tingly/floating/falling feeling.
I've had it multiple times, we were living in the hood at that time, surrounded by some very nefarious people, some dark people. I couldn't make out what was in my bedroom, it was a blur or a shadow. It didn't touch me either. I couldn't move or scream, i fought so hard to no avail. It was so terrifying i will never forget those two situations, forever burned into me. Hasn't happened in 5yrs now since moving away to the country.🤷♂️💯
I started experiencing sleep paralysis on a nightly basis over 10 years ago now. I went to sleep studies, therapist, psychiatrist basically the whole modern medical field throughout the course of about 2 years. At some point I don't remember what sparked it within me could I started down the occultic research and I left no stone unturned. I started with the normal ancient texts, two things like the goatia and the three books of Agrippa etc and eventually I started buying personal grimoires with some from the modern era and others being from as late as the 1400's. I don't know what it takes to be certified as an expert in the area of occultic studies, supernatural, and the paranormal but if the amount of time, resource, an energy I have put in to my research and studies are to reflect then I do think I am very close to being a expert. Even though it was sleep paralysis that started my studies eventually it became an obsession that led to demonology, ritualistic Magic practice, ancient spiritualism and so on and so on. However all that being said I have no doubt now that sleep paralysis has nothing to do with the wakened body and is an experience of the spirit, an experience quite similar to an out of body experience with the biggest difference being that sleep paralysis is an attack of the spirit or Astral body. These spirits that attack (call it a demon, shade, or jinn) feed on human emotions. I know that sounds cliche but it is the truth. On the Spectrum of human emotions the 2 that are the strongest are love (or lust) and fear. This is why it is very common for some people to experience a sexual encounter and others experience the fear encounters. These Spirits are ancient and for the most part they are ever present and ever watching, while you are in spirit during a sleep paralysis episode because you are not conscious of that fact we are tricked into believing we are awake but unable to move but we are in fact still a spirit Tethered to our body, and breaking away from that is a process that takes time and conservative energy that most especially here in the west just aren't familiar with. So of course these Spirits used that against us and they can appear as whatever they want unless you are consciously aware of the spirit realm that you are in at that moment (if you are aware then you have a little more control over how you see them) but they are indeed masters of fear and lust. I think they choose the Haggard looking old woman because that is something that instantly strikes fear but they don't want to scare you to the point of death so rarely will you see them take a more sinister appearance. I have found a lot of accounts of people seeing evil looking children and evil versions of themselves. If they know you are consciously aware sometimes it will stop but sometimes they will just go harder, that was what happened in my case however eventually I found some things that help reduce sleep paralysis and things you can say that will end it instantly
I get it. Have done for years now, ever since spending months in induced comas. With the accompanying hallucinations, I end up in looping nightmares of a dream, wake state, only to be dreaming the entire time. Everytime you wake up, make your brew, and get on with your day only to feel/see that thing, and then you're just trapped inside your own head in sheer terror, until you "wake up" the next time. So you may get a few hours of respite until you know that you're still a prisoner in your own mind. Sometimes I'll dream an entire day, only to be in the shower before bed and that familiar ominous, oppressive feeling rocks up. I'm a veteran and still, at 37 years of age, it still makes me feel like a child.
I actually trained myself to wake up. I wish I could help people break out of this horrible scenario. To me, it is definitely evil spirits. They prey on people in bad life situations like vultures to a wounded animal.
One of the few instances of sleep paralysis I had, I woke up to ‘a man’ in my room, strangling me. Was by far the most terrifying experience of my life. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream and I knew I wasn’t alone and then suddenly I’m being strangled by someone I can’t see (don’t ask me how I knew it was a ‘man’). I hope I NEVER experience that particular hallucination again.
ive had it happen to me once i had a i know what you did last summer fisherman stood glaring at me at the foot of my bed he had a huge machete in his hand was ghostly green in colour and for some reason had a dog with him .i knew what was going on with sleep paralysis but it was still utterly terrifying. the fact i could here my parents talking through the wall was a bit of a give away it wasn't real ,as my dads dead and i dont live with them anyway !
Just subscribed to the channel. I have had sleep paralysis before, not long after my dad died I spent nights with my mom as the sudden death of my dad took its toll on us. I was 19yrs old lying in bed when I couldn't move. Fear came over me as I was struggling to move. I looked down and saw the bed sheet move as if someone had just sar down. I felt pressure on my ankles as if someone was holding them tight. It felt like ages but soon went when I heard my sister coming up the stairs. I suddenly became animates and punched out hitting my mom by accident as if some shackles had been lifted. I couldn't speak or move at the time and never had that experience before
I recently found this channel, so I'm going to tell my SP story even though it's5 months on. I was actually sleeping on the floor next to my bed because my back was bothering me and the hard floor seemed to help. I woke up not being able to move and the old hag was under the bed. Her face got really close to mine and she grabbed my neck and tried to pull me under the bed.
I've had two experiences with sleep paralysis that I remember. Neither was scary. The first happened when I was very young. I had a fever so I was delirious and in a dream I couldn't move. I must have been crying in my sleep and then I felt a hand on my chest and I woke up. It was an old woman but thankfully it was just my beautiful grandmother who was checking on me. She got me out of bed and we went downstairs for for some medication and dinner and I felt much better afterwards. The second happened a few years ago. Having a nightmare about a black figure following me and I woke up unable to move. I looked to the left towards my wife as I heard movement and I see a black figure slowly raise its head. I was terrified and then I hear a familiar meow. It was my Persian cat checking on me. Phew and I fell back to sleep. Hopefully these will be my only experiences.
My sleep paralysis only happened once. I was in Vietnam. First visit. Me and my wife went to see a fortune teller. Also my first time. It was pleasant enough. But that night... that night I had a horrible dream. (I usually have horror dreams) but this one was different. An entity was there. A spector of sorts. Floating in the air. I awake screaming. But I couldn't move. And I knew I was awake. I couldn't stop screaming until my wife shook me. There's a mirror in the room we slept in. I have an unnatural fear of mirrors. And usually slept on the side away from the mirror. But that night. I somehow slept facing it. Or at least. That's how I awoke. Frozen and screaming. When I was finally shaken out of it. I was terrified. Shaken to my core. I felt something was there. I hadn't been that scared since I was a child. Tried telling my wife. But she brushed it off. For good reason. If you ignore it. It goes away..
I've experienced SP a number of times, the last time it happened was strange in the sense that I was fully aware of what was happening, but I simply couldn't move
Between early 2003 and late 2008 I lived in my first council property which was a bungalow, then all of a sudden I woke up in the night not being able to move a muscle in my body apart from my eyelids, I would just constantly flicker my eyelids, if I’m totally honest with you I didn’t see anything at all, and I’ve been a spiritual person since my childhood and I’m 61 years old now buddy but anyway, waking up and going through that experience right throughout the time I lived in that bungalow, and it terrified me like nothing before. I have nerve damage, I ripped my sciatica nerve whilst block paving in Cardiff many years ago, and that’s what I kept putting it down to, my nerve damage, because I had never heard of sleep paralysis or the old hag before, the one thing that really does puzzle me is, I had never suffered from it before I went to that bungalow and I left that bungalow in late 2008 and believe it or not I’ve never suffered from sleep paralysis since I left that bungalow, about 3 and a half years ago I told my doctor exactly what I have written in this comment and she said to me, that’s very interesting that was her exact words when I told her that I had never suffered from sleep paralysis before I moved into the bungalow and I’ve never suffered from it since I left the bungalow. Even being a spiritual person myself I saw nothing, I just felt like I was being crushed with my quilt I couldn’t even move my toes or anything apart from my eyelids and to me that’s just totally fucked and to be honest with you I just hope and pray that I never go through anything like it ever again and that’s a fact. I hope that everyone that’s listening to this video, and have gone through sleep paralysis themselves they never go through it again and bless those that do go through it.
Thanks for sharing that! I think that experiencing the feelings without any visual element is fairly common. Super strange that you only got it in that bungalow though
I also had regular sleep paralysis while I was in the last place I lived. There was definitely a dark entity involved in the experience (though it wasn't a hag or hat man), and there were times where I felt like half my body was levitating and a couple of times where it felt like I was being swung around violently by my feet or thrown around the room. It wasn't my physical body being moved around, so I guess it was the other one. It hasn't happened since I moved to my current place, which is a different studio in the same apartment building, on the same floor. I don't know how you explain that other than there was something about the old place, but not the whole building.
I found this channel yesterday and absolutely love the content as well as the production quality of the videos. Have you ever thought about doing self hypnosis sessions or guided meditations? Your voice would be perfect for that. Anyway thanks for your work Love your videos
I have occasional well scary nightmares occasionally with sleep paralysis after I wake up! I feel scared out of my wits and frozen with fear trying to rationalize my waking reality.I suffer from acute loneliness and isolation and deoression and tske a 45mg mitazepine anti depressent which may or may not be responsible for the SP and nightmares!
I was on mirtazapine for quite a few years until yesterday, when I (hopefully) had my last dose. It makes me sleep longer and makes it harder to get up, so there's more opportunity for nightmares as I spend more time asleep. It could be a factor. I was getting SP regularly for a few years while on it, but it seems to have stopped in the last year, after I moved to a different place. I'm not sure if it was something related to that place, or maybe it stopped happening because I had started insulting my SP Demon. First, I asked it what its name was. It gave me a name, but it could've been nonsense, or a lie. Then, a while later, I asked it to "show me something I've never seen before", as it was getting boring seeing the same things over and over (it had been terrifying for years, but it was happening so often I was getting numb to it). By demanding it do something to impress me, it seemed to lose some of its power, because it wasn't as scary after that. It helped the SP nightmares, but not all nightmares. I'm also really isolated, so I can relate, and I hope things get better for you.
Last night.. I had a dream that I was asleep in my childhood bedroom and woke up with sleep paralysis. I was staring out my bedroom door and thought the silhouette of my dad was standing in the doorway, I got this intense feeling that something was about to happen and had to look away but couldn't. Then just when I knew it was going to happen a creepy shadowy face peered around the door frame. Then I was what felt like electrocuted, intense shaking from fear. My dream continued and was really wierd. Felt real. My old childhood dog came in my room and woke me up, then I went downstairs to see my dad cooking some wierd food. I made a sandwich and that's when I really woke up.. only to be totally confused where I was..
Other times it happens I feel like I was roaming my room. I’ve only had it once living in my apartment. I just woke and said I felt like I just walked around my room briefly. Other times living with my parents. I had roamed my room there too. My worst night terror I was beating and whipping a snake in my dream by killing it. I woke up my brother to my scariest blood curdling scream as I was beating my arm on the dresser. It hurt. I bruised my arm.
This is a fantastic channel, you speak with such engagement. In regards to these sleep paralysis stories I have a few myself. As a child and into my teens, I remember this dark smoke like entity in the shape of a humanoid figure. It would stare at me and I would try to ignore it, and as soon as it realised that I knew it was there, it would come at me, drag me off the bed and try take me out of the house. Those were repeated dreams, or scenarios throughout my childhood. The other one was in my teens, I remember waking up, (or thought I had woke up) and this cloud of black smoke hovering right above my face, at this point it went straight down into my throat. I woke up, (again) with a choking sensation. Absolutely terrifying. As an Adult I haven't had these since.
Had sleep paralysis many times, have never seen entities during the episodes. However, they usually start with a seemingly infinite sequence of waking up thinking im actually awake and going about my day then becoming paralyzed and falling over into the exact position im sleeping in, but each time the time period between waking and becoming paralyzed gets shorter and shorter. Sometimes, a few of the false awakenings will have red lights coming from the windows, but all i can see outside is the red light. Then eventually i cant get out of bed in the dreams and i realize im awake and cant move. Sometimes they are preceeded by odd dreams. One was a dream where i saw what looked like 3D blueprints of some mechanism and a voice telling me that this was thensingle most important thing for humanity, then i woke up paralyzed seeing nothing but blue lights flashing and pulsing, a deep vibration running through my body and a sound of a pulsing, deep oscillation similar to an engine, but without any noise, instead comprised of distinct tones. And i heard laughter... Another time i had a dream i was in a theatre and realized i was dreaming, then everyone else in the theater got a blank expression and stood up and started walking out like zombies, then the dream fell away into what i can only describe as a dream construct and a black sphere was there telling me with feelings and images that i was its builder and it needed me to enact its plans then i awoke into sleep paralysis. I have seen that sphere in my dreams many times....
I have suffered from this for years since I was a teenager. Its a horrible experience if you have ever been through it. I think it's something bad because before i found god it was really bad . Since then its all but ended.
I’ve experienced this a couple of times. One time a ghostly face was right next to me and the other time was in a hotel and was just a black shadow with glowing red eyes. The only weird part of this is that on both occasions I didn’t feel scared or threatened in any way.
I had SP one time in my life. There was a short dark figure at the end of my bed. I was trying to wake by boyfriend up but all i could manage was a whisper. I was so frightened i just pulled the covers up and covered my eyes. I remember nothing after that.
I went through this for over a year and I mean like 4-5 nights a week. I got so used to it, that in the end the fear part had diminished and I was provoking it in my mind while it was happening. Then it stopped.
I have sleep paralysis. It’s truly terrifying. One night I was lying in bed when I woke up and couldn’t move at all. All I could do was lay in bed and stare at the figure standing at the foot of my bed. It told me in a creepy female voice “wait till you see what I do to your husband”. Then it climbed in bed between us. I can still feel the coldness of it touching my skin. As soon as I was able to, I sat up and it was gone.
Are you in America if you are I hope you’re having a great and happy thanksgiving yourself. I’m in England so we don’t have thanksgiving and to honest with you I have absolutely no idea why you have it America but like I said I really hope you’re having a great time. From Stevie boy in England.
Was so excited to see your video, your narration is so relaxing, calming and the stories are creepy just perfect to listen just before bedtime, thank you.
I suffer regularly from this sleep paralysis and sometimes it's so terrifying I'm dripping with sweat and almost crying ( I never cry for any reason usually) . The contact is not with witches or hat men etc it's always tall bright alien types and always being taken through a bright corridor ( as far as I know they are not hurting me) . I woke one night as I floated towards my walk in wardrobe ceiling where there was a bright blue light waiting for me and I had to fight hard to stop actually being swallowed up by this light but I never could recall if I was ever successful. I have marks on my body that shouldn't be there and woke up with some kind of yellow jel under my armpit and shoulder ( right hand side only). This has been happening since I can remember and ongoing and is now just part of my life. Its something I need to talk about with someone who knows about this sort of thing but I don't know who to contact ( without being seen as some weirdo etc) for help etc. I'm 100% being truthful and not the kind of person to make stuff up for attention etc.
I’ve never seen anything during my episodes, but I’ve heard the weirdest and creepiest shit. Most of my episodes start as dreams that I come half lucid out of and realize something is in my room. The last one was so profound that I took my son, who was in bed with me, and went to sleep with my mom. It happened again about an hour later but in my mom’s room. Part of me thinks the 2nd time was actually my dad who had passed a few months before. I think he was trying to reassure me that I was safe and ok. The first attack was weird, it was an entity that got right into my ear and whispered something to me. I couldn’t make it out, but it sounded like white noise. Freaked me out tremendously! I was more worried for my kid. I told it it could not touch my son, and called on God. I’m not religious,but it worked
One last thing I know I’ve shared enough comments here is don’t do things to get in that paralysis I’ve only had it because I wrecked my sleeping schedule and pulls a few all nighters. Get proper sleep. And remain strong if it dose happen. I encourage everyone to fight it and break it if you get in that situation. You begin to learn more about consciousness and if our consciousness is apart of a greater plane of existence.
I've only had sleep paralysis twice that I can remember. The first time I saw a strange distorted creature. It appeared beside my bed, just glaring at me. The second time I found myself unable to move or scream and I just had this overwhelming feeling that I was in danger.
You are a true hero for the work you do. I know you don't need verification, but you are truly appreciated and commemorated for the information you drop on us and your brilliant storytelling abilities 😌
One time I was having an awful nightmare, and out of nowhere, I felt something pin me down and strangle me, and I woke up. I couldn’t open my eyes or move. I tried to shout and pray but I couldn’t remember them. I could sense something awful and in a gurgly snarly voice something told me “roll over so you can see my face”. I then snapped out of it and didn’t fall back asleep until 6am
I used to have terrible sleep paralysis... I would always feel a sense of dread... if i was sleeping with or around anyone , they would get up and walk out the room leaving me alone... then I would hear whispering in my ear then screaming... then I'd feel something get on top on me... I would try and violently shake it out... sometimes this would happen over and over.. I'd be physically exhausted in the morning from the fighting.... the last 2 times it happened were interesting... I was falling asleep and felt the dread feeling coming on and a sort of jolted up , I felt a gust of wind going away from me... I thought maybe I scared it.... I very last time this ever happened to me i did the same thing when I felt it come on but this time I saw a goblin looking woman on my chest and I had grabbed her bottom jaw and the top of her head... I pulled off the bottom jaw and she screamed and ran off... when I was fully awake after I was probably imagining it all but it's wierd that it stopped after that
I experienced this one time , for a few moments in a dream then a few seconds in my wakeful state . In my dream a spirit was forcing me down with it's emotions and I could feel the hate and malice pinning me to the ground. I woke in a panic and could not move for almost a min.
working my way through all your videos and just come across this one.... Usually I have no personal connection with them and just find the stories facinating. This is the second video that I can truely relate to though (the other being the Enfield haunting as I grew up and lived in Enfield not far from the house for 27 years). I have experienced sleep paralysis on and off for my while life. Some times it's just not being able to move. Other times full blown audotory/ visual "halucinations". The halucinations do seem to change depending on where I have been. At my parents house it was always the paralysis on it's own. No halucinations but it did feel like something was squeezing the air out of my chest and making it very difficult to breathe. At an ex's house in Manchester I would see a black mass.... not exactly human shaped but not formless if you know what I mean? it would float around the room, coming close to me then moving away.. sometimes I would see boney looking fingers coming around the door frame before the black mass would enter. I woke up with a start drenched in sweat more than a few times whilst staying in that house. My first house when I lived alone was the worst. I would "wake up" in the middle of the night, hearing what sounded like someone stomping around down stairs. sometimes it sounded like they were in the kitchen smashing plates. Then I would hear them on the stairs. The house was small and had an iron spiral stair case in the corner. it was very loud when walking up and down it. The sound of whoever it was on the stairs scared me. I couldn't move and my eyes (although aparently closed) were fixated on the partially open door to my bedroom. The stamping on the stairs getting closer to the top. Then. Silence. Just as I was thinking things had stopped and that I would be able to shake myself awake the door would slam open and a very disgusting looking, old "homeless" man would come rushing into the room! slamming into everything screaming absolute nonsesnse at the top of his lungs. I could never see the features on his face despite him rushing around the bed and screaming directly in my face. I can still remember the heat of his breath on my face and how loud the screams were in my ears. He never touched me but would scream and laugh while wrecking my room. Finally I would wake up. He would vanish and everything in my room was fine. No one had been there at all. First time this happened I got dressed, despite it being around 4 in the morning. Went out to my car and drove to my office to spend the rest of the night there. I didn't return to my house for 2 days. eventually I got used to it but it never became any less scary. in the 5 years I lived in that house it must have happned atleast a few times a month. Not always as vivid as this but when it was bad... it was really bad. I am not ashamed to say that I woke up crying my eyes out at how terrifying it was more than a few times. I'm now 37, live with my wife and 2 children and although once in a while I still get sleep paralysis it is just the paralysis part and nothing more. Thankfully I can deal with this and know how to shake myself awake. If you ever do another episode going over sleep paralysis stories I'd be more than happy for you to share mine. I've only given brief descriptions of what I've expierneced above but would be happy to go into more detail. I find it helps me to talk about it and makes the memories less scary.
Concentrate on your breathing. It's the only thing that isn't paralyzed. I soon as you find yourself in that state, start taking deeper breaths, and you'll snap out of it. I've had sleep paralysis more than enough times, and that has worked for me.
I've been lucky and never had to go through sleep paralysis. I couldn't imagine how frightening it must be. I'm gonna go check out the other video you made about the old hag.
Coming from the PH, we've got stories of nature spirits and enkanto. A tree near my room had been cut by the neighbors. I've experienced sleep paralysis for a whole month. Sometimes, in my dream, I'd wake up with sleep paralysis. Only to later truly wake up and find myself in sleep paralysis for real. Anyone who slept on my bed that time also experienced sleep paralysis and nightmares.
I had this when i lived in an apartment i was raised in,,my parents would tell me i would scream in the middle of night always around 3am,,i could'nt move,,my eyes would be open,,and i would feel someone grabbing me,and a weight on top of me, in one point i seen a black mist over me with a skeleton feature,,,i knew deep down in my soul,,,it was death letting me know that it was near,,these were times when i was heavy on drugs and alcohol,
I had the most calm sleep paralysis experience of all, I could initially hear breathing right by my head and had the overwhelming sensation that there was something beside me looking right at me, my flight or fight chose fight so I went to jump at it but found myself unable to move, having listened to and heard so many sleep paralysis stories before I immediately realized what was happening and became completely calm, I was even excited, when I opened my eyes I could see a black dot start to form on the ceiling of my bedroom, I decided to just close my eyes in case the black dot turned into a demonic figure, I could still hear audible hallucinations of breathing or moving right beside both my ears but I wasn't worried, I just tried to test the paralysis and see how much I could movie myself, after I while I could manage to get my right arm on my head which was very interesting and exciting, untill suddenly I could just move freely and my ears and eyes went back to normal
I’ve only ever had sleep paralysis once, it was a stressful time as we had just moved and to relax me and my partner watched a stand up comedy show on Netflix by the comedian Greg Davies. I woke up laying on my side not being able to move, all I could hear was footsteps like pacing behind me with Greg Davies’ voice going ‘YOU BETTER NOT TURN AROUND’ repeatedly. I would occasionally see him pacing out the corner of my eye, I was sweating like mad and my partner was fast asleep. I eventually was able to move slightly and my heart was pounding, I knew my phone was next to me so I pulled myself together, quickly grabbed my phone with my hand and spun around with the torch on, obviously nobody was there. I mean..with all these stories about demons, witches, how the hell did I get sleep paralysis about Greg Davies?! 😂 But yeah..just thought I’d add a bit of a different story to the mix
I've only ever had one Sleep Paralysis event, I woke from a terrible Nightmare and knew that to fix it to get back to sleep I needed to roll over to change where blood was focused in my brain. I actually managed to break it, and then roll over which fixed the nightmare issue; however boy it certainly hurt some of my muscles.
i dont know if it was sleep paralysis, but i remember seeing something on top of my wardrobe almost the shape of a slumped over cat and yet at the time we had no animals, the hallway used to freak me out too it always felt like there was something watching me a black dog in a house that i spent a lot of my teen years in. i dont know if it was related to the stress of being on the autism spectum, being bullied, and having an abusive father in the house that was psychotic along with ocd and had paranoia.
I've met the old hag in my dreams, although I wasn't paralyzed, and there was more than one lady, just different ages, although they were all exuding a bad feeling. They stood outside the door to my apartment, and I felt safe that they couldn't enter because I hadn't invited them in, but then the old lady crawled in on all fours like a dog, and tried to latch on to my legs. I woke up just as she grabbed me, and was afraid to go back to sleep for the rest of the night.
Ive had 4 different instances if sleep paralysis, and each time there was some shadow person in the room that would walk up slowly to me. The third time it bent down to look me face to face and scared me to death
I sleep with my hands crossed over one another over my lower stomach and hip area. I felt hands gripping my wrists like vices and pushing downward pinning me although I couldn’t move anyway. I couldn’t open my eyes either so couldn’t see what was really happening. My mind was saying “why is my husband doing those”? I finally was able to see and open my eyes and my husband was not around and of course didn’t do that. My mind still can’t make sense of it. The distinctive grip of hands on my wrists pushing was so real.
I sleep with bowls of water under my bed... when I feel that paralyzed feeling set in.. I focus my mind to the water... and it guides me AWAKE... just some FYI for anyone who suffers in silence like I use to... waking up STUCK with that cold , fuzzy, dense feeling of something holding your legs or arms down... That moment when you moan as hard as you can in an attempt to speak... or with all you might try and JERK and part of your body just wake yourself... feeling like your throat is closing... YEAH, BEEN THERE!! ALOT OF TIMES!!
I had a similar experience with the ring wraith, here it goes: While I was asleep I suddenly opened my eyes and this very tall very thin shadowy figure standing at the end of my bed with long arms and dark shadowy claws black long hair a no face (identical to a ring wraith from LoTR) was just standing there looking like it was ready to pounce, I couldn't move or yell and I was petrified, suddenly the thing at light speed grabbed my legs and I finally woke up screaming after I calmed down I checked what time it was, it was 03:03 AM. Thankfully it was the only experience I have ever had with whatever that thing was.
Sleep paralysis is such a terrifying experience. Luckily, I've never seen anything while experiencing it but not being able to move or yell for help is scary enough to me!
I’ve had this happen to me a few times. I never saw anything. But I could feel it was coming. Getting closer. I couldn’t move at all. I tried calling out for help. But nothing came out. I could barely see the area it was coming from. It was in my peripheral vision. I kept trying to turn my head to see better but I couldn’t no matter what I tried. As it got closer I could see and hear things moving. Then I was able, through a Herculean effort of pure will power, to scream out HELP!!! A trickle at first. But the more I tried the louder it got until I was skaken by my girlfriend. She told me I was screaming in my sleep.
I used to hear a language of screeching sometimes. But one time I actually heard a ZX Spectrum loading sound while experiencing Sleep Paralysis also. Very weird.
I have had it many times, started during the pregnancy of my 2nd son but I have never seen anything. Things look weird like in 2D so my comforter looks like a frozen in time ocean wave.
Used to have sleep paralysis weekly as a child and would wake up with my bed soaked in sweat because of how terrified i was. I've only had it twice as an adult and it's always the same thing without fail. An old hideous hag slowly mumbling and walking toward the bed and leaning over with her face right in mine grimacing
I went through a stage when my life was really difficult and sleep paralysis would happen several times a night. I’ve had shadows and people in the room and near me but never on top. My two main memories are trying to scream and nothing coming out, and staring at the wall and seeing old 70’s style wallpaper peeling off the walls. My real walls were just plain magnolia 😬
I have experienced sleep paralysis many times - too many to count. I will share here in case it can help anyone else. At first when i was young, it would happen and i would immediately be terrified. Typically i would think i was going to die, and there would always be an accompanying feeling of dread and often a vibrating noise that had a darkness in it as if a force of evil. There was a presence in the room. Sometimes i would see a dark figure at the end of the bed. Sometimes i felt the thing on top of me. Thankfully i only remember seeing a face once, and it was a hag or demon. Smiling at the side of my bed. I chose to ignore it and it went away, as it always eventually does. I have lost the fear of sleep paralysis now. At first i would respond with fear and anger and desperation, but i slowly realised it didnt help. There was not much to be done, just try to relax, focus on breathing, and ignore any entities you perceive. I no longer suffer it very much, but the last time it happened was this year. I have become a believer in god and the afterlife in the last year, so this time, as the feeling of dread began to intensify, i calmly and "loudly" (i guess in my head) called out to god "God, help me!" - and it stopped immediately and my eyes opened. I was awake and free. Then went to sleep again and no more. I didnt necessarily think it would work and was sort of shocked that it had so immediately. It's a horrible thing, but when you experience it remember it will pass, do not fight it with fear and anger. Do not look at any entities if you can help it - do not give it that power, instead feel for your own inner power. Believe in it, you will find it, and if you believe in a higher power, call out to it - never know, might help :)
I've had SP many times over the years once it was an Indian lady sat on my chest with no face I remember all the colours of saris she was wearing. I've had a cat with its skin falling off. Hands grabbing my ankles to pull me out of bed all sorts of things just tell them to leave me alone now. Some have been very scary some sexual. It's horrible
Sleep paralysis is spiritual. I suffered for a long until somebody told me to call out for Jesus and it will stop. Long story short it works every time and eventually it has stopped happening all together.
sleep paralysis just sucks in General. My only creepy experience is was my first one where my vision became fuzzy and grey and a dark matter was above me. Lasted about 5mins and was scared to go back to sleep. Never slept on back ever again.
I have a similar experience except I was visited by what I can only describe as 2 demonic creatures who came to collect me for death. With the heavy feeling of evil and despair I tried to move but couldn't. I could feel my heart beating like crazy as I heard one say not yet but soon .I had a heart attack a few days later and almost died. It was the scariest experience I ever had in my life. Hope to never see them again.
This is legitimately one of the highest quality horror channels on RUclips. Fantastic production quality across the board. If you keep it up, you will blow up.
Thank you!
@@TheTapeLibraryI once had a nightmare were I was about to be attacked by the night hag but before she could reach me In the dream I called out for help and saw a tall man who looked like a demon lift the hag by her throat he began to choke her and slam her around my room he threw her against the wall and then she left and I've never seen her in my dreams since
@@TheTapeLibrarya little strange I know 😆
I've seen the Fedora ghost before. It was carrying a body pillow and katana. It smelt like cheetos and Mt dew. Truly terrifying the way it spoke broken Japanese.
That guy owes me bitcoin 😤
I recently subscribed to this channel, I have suffered twice with paralysis but was awoken by not being able to breathe, nor move. The only movement I could make was my eyes. I tried to awaken my partner who was asleep beside me because I couldn't breathe but I couldn't move even my pinky finger. I could see my bedroom and was fully aware and awake. The second time it happened was the very same except I could see a huge shadow and the feeling I got was it was definitely demonic. It slowly took on a form of a head and shoulders, it felt like it was so strong, like a mass amount of strength. I started praying and repeated in my mind the prayer with more intensity and finally was able to breathe and got out of bed. Since we moved I hadn't experienced it anymore, thank God!!! This has been my experience with this very scary sort of thing.
Thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel!
Same thing here, nothing since moving 5 years ago. Your experience is scarier than mine for sure.
@@TheTapeLibraryas someone who had tons of sleep paralysis, I got used to it and to not panic or try to move during this phase. However I remembered seeing something unusual in my room, it was like an old ink pot but it looked like a square wooden artefact near my door, after the sleep paralysis was gone, this object was also gone too. It was super weird.
I don't often remember these seeing things during these sleep paralysis phase, but the one I mentioned, I remember clearly seeing an object I've never seen before
Twice your lucky I got it a lot in college like 3 times a week or more
@@TheTapeLibrary when we moved, I never had it happen again.
“A lady popped her head out of my care bear sleeping bag” ok that fear brought tears to my eyes
right?! I love that it’s so short and so traumatising
That would scare the crap outta me
Jesus just the thought three months after hearing that still makes my blood run cold 🥶
I supposed I should feel grateful. I've suffered from sleep paralysis (it's basically a glitch in sleep phases) my whole life. I used to freak out because it felt so claustrophobic, but I've never seen anything during my episodes. Great episode though! I'm hooked on this channel!
The scariest thing that was adjacent to sleep paralysis but not sleep paralysis for me was when me and my partner both heard a feminine voice speak to us from the bed itself, for lack of a better explanation. There was only one word like careful or caution, and we both said "what?" To each other. Then we both realized the sound didnt come from the actual room, but from the side of our head that was laid down on the pillow.
I've had SP a handful of times. The first (and scariest time), I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a preasure on my legs. I looked down at my legs, and there was a small demon on my legs. He had actual weight to him... his added weight depressed the mattress springs down further. The demon slowly crawled up to my chest. My body now sunken deeper into the mattress from the demons added weight. It sat on my chest and just stared into my eyes while it slowly turned its head. This is similar to what a dog does when it's trying to listen to the owners command. I was finally able to move my body, and the demon disappeared. It took all the strength I had to move and break out of it. This took place in Vilseck, Germany, around 2012. Scariest thing that ever happened to me. The definition of terrifying.
That is scary
I’ve suffered from sleep paralysis since I was 15 after a traumatic experience. It started out nightly with auditory hallucinations. As I got older, the hallucinations became visual, from shadow people to seeing family members who would talk to me and tell to stop fighting it, which I learned after the fact that that never happened. For days each episode, i would feel drained and discombobulated. Later into adulthood, the episodes became sexual, though these moments were few and far between and now my episodes only occur a couple of times of year, and not near as intense, but still terrifying. On one occasion I felt myself leave my body and observed myself being pulled through the floor while my body was in the bed. To me, it felt like good and evil were fighting over my soul. I’m also a frequent sufferer of lucid dreaming. I understand the science behind it, but it doesn’t mitigate the fear I feel each time it happens.
Thanks for sharing
I had an instance recently where I saw a shadowy girl standing in my room, she asked “do you need me to get you some water?” and I blinked and she was gone. Finally able to move; I sat up and said “hello?” Thinking it was my roommate hearing me have a nightmare prior to the encounter, but nobody responded. Creepy as hell, but this was my third time encountering sleep paralysis, so now they’re just spooky stories I tell my friends.
Girl just letting you know you’re dehydrated. Btw, make sure you drink plenty of water and eat something. You matter and I hope ya have a good day ❤️
At least she was offering to do something nice
I have just stumbled upon this channel, and this made my hair stand on end. I have suffered from sleep paralysis my entire life, even as a baby. It is terrifying as I am unable to breathe and I’m slowly suffocating, before suddenly gasping for breath. A few years ago I fell to sleep in my attic bedroom. I was suddenly awake and unable to breathe, but this time there I was aware that there were many people in the room, even though I couldn’t open my eyes. Suddenly I could feel gentle touched over my abdomen and chest and could knew without opening my eyes that there were many pale disembodied arms from just below the elbow, striking from the centre of my body outwards. I knew that these were female and were helping me; there was a warm peaceful feeling. Suddenly there was a wrenching sensation and I came out of my body and hovered over it for the distance of 12 inches. I was terrified and I thought I was awake and had just died. I couldn’t move or speak but was thinking about my family and children and was so frightened. Suddenly I opened my eyes and I was back in the bed. This terrified me so much I was afraid to sleep.
Some years later following a stay in Hospital, it was found that I had sleep apnoea and used to stop breathing many times during the night. I now use a machine t help me breathe, and haven’t had a sleep paralysis since.
I didn't know the 2 were connected
@@bezoticallyyours83neither did I, I don’t think it is medically recognised, but as a life-long sufferer, it cannot be a coincidence.
@@countesscable it makes sense that your subconscious would try to scare you awake when your struggling to breathe
It's horrible..always in my room but in a different dimension.. trying get back in body
I’m so happy I found this channel. You have a wonderful narrative voice.
I wanted to share one of many of my sleep paralysis experiences that has affected me the most. I was under a tremendous amount of stress after moving to another state, leaving my sick father behind in a hospital, while also 4 months pregnant & raising a 1 yr old. The move was meant to be a great thing for me & my new little family but so many awful occurrences happened in that move. Anyway, I awoke eyes wide open while on my back because my son was crying in his room. My head felt heavy & though I could move my eyes, I couldn’t get my husband’s attention right next to me. Suddenly I was grabbed by my legs, right below the knees and violently pulled towards the foot of our bed. All I could see was the closet, dark and wide open, but the darkness moved and grew bigger. I would crawl back, all the while keeping the comforter tucked in between my legs for protection, being violently tugged forward and crawling backwards frightened of what would happen to me if I left the bed. I felt this tug of war must have lasted a half hour, maybe longer all the while my son’s screaming was becoming louder and more panicked. I felt utterly helpless as my husband deeply slept a foot away from me. My concern was not just for myself but moreso for my son. I could feel pain from the pressure of the hands gripping the top of my calves every time I was yanked down. In my head, that comforter was somehow preventing me from being raped by whatever that darkness was at the foot of my bed. Suddenly, it stopped. The only sound I could hear was the thudding of my heart and nothing else. I only needed a few seconds of composure before I leapt out of bed and ran into the bedroom next to ours. There my son slept, arms splayed out above his head & legs out to both sides: his deep comfort baby sleep position. I ran my hand along his cheek and it was baby soft and completely dry. I made it out to the hall before I wept uncontrollably. In my mind, I survived nearly 30 minutes of the most frightening and hellish moment of my life. My husband woke up and had to help me back to bed. After revealing what I had just experienced, he naturally started to explain how it was all just a dream and nothing to really worry about. I couldn’t fall back asleep completely after that. That morning, before climbing into the shower, I discovered bruising on both of my legs. You could clearly make out where a thumb was as well as 3 long fingers on the other side. I couldn’t have possibly down this to myself unless I took the time to awkwardly bend and contort my hands in a position like this someone was facing me. I just wouldn’t have been feasible. My husband is so logical to a point of annoyance but admitted it was definitely strange but just that. About a month after that occurrence, I sat up in bed, asleep, and announced that I had lost the baby but it was okay. Falling back against my pillow, all the while fully asleep. My husband was pretty freaked out and tried to wake me but I was so exhausted I could barely stay awake long enough to comprehend what he was saying. The next morning, I was shocked after he told me what happened. A week later, I suffered a miscarriage at nearly 6 months pregnant. This felt like ages ago (2009) and though we never got another child but are deeply lucky to have the son we do, that dream was only the beginning of my sleep paralysis. I don’t think any have taken such a toll on me like that one did, especially since I had physical marks that coincided with the events ‘in my head’. Every other one is a cake walk compared to that first one.
Thank you for sharing, especially something so personal and I’m sure traumatising. I wish you and your family well. Hopefully these experiences will end for you one day.
@@TheTapeLibrary Thank you for taking the time to read my long comment & respond with such kind wishes. You certainly have my support! If you ever decide to cover children’s imaginary friends that resembled slender man before there ever was a ‘slender man’, then I’d be happy to tell you about my ‘friend’. I was shocked to find many people who go on to describe, with similar eerie details, of their incredibly tall shadow friends. I’m now 40, so this was 32 years ago but I can still recall fragments of him, sitting awkwardly head bent, in the corner of my room asking me about my day. I promise I’m not insane lol… obviously highly imaginative but sane 😁
@@queengenyfur I’m not sure when I’ll next do a ‘viewer episode’ but if you fancy writing your experience up at some point you can find my email in the description :)
I believe you. These things are very real and completely evil ,filled with hate. Please rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you and your loved ones and stay strong please @queengenyfur
Oh my gracious goodness I feel for you. I've also been attacked by unexplainable entities but not nearly as horrid as what you went through! I commend you for having the courage to even attempt to sleep after that again 😓
I used to get paralysis attacks. I used to see 2 really tall, think black figures, and a feeling of electricity in the atmosphere. Once staring up at my bedroom window, and later in my room. However, i since learned that i could control these attacks, and haven't had them since, bar the occasional not being able to move while half asleep, episodes.
Do you know a way to break out of it? I haven't had sleep paralysis in ages, but I would still like to know because it is really, really nasty.
Sleep paralysis usually happens when you're lying on your back. That's why i always sleep on my side. During sleep, we are at our most vulnerable. Our body temperature is at its lowest, our guards are completely down, and our soul consciousness can be in other realms of existence. Now, sleep paralysis induces a state where we are conscious of our environment and the temporary paralysis of our bodies, but we are also aware of or feel the presence of supernatural entities that causes a sense of dread. It is in this state where our "third eye" is open and we can see what these entities or interdimensional beings look like. When the third eye is closed, it brings us back to our day-to-day consciousness and mundane reality. It can be dangerous if these entities enter our world through a break or tear during the time when we are asleep.
I sleep on my side and still get it.
That’s what I thought too, so I decided to sleep on my side and I got sp again🤦🏻♂️
What helped me not get SP is by not watching scary videos before I sleep
I was diagnosed in 2020 with type 1 diabetes. While in the hospital, being treated, i would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and see a man, or at least the figure of one, standing at the entrance to my room, just behind the curtain. The last night i was in the hospital, i saw it again but only for a brief moment, in the bathroom right next to me. To this day i dont know what it was, but the nurses would tell me that other people on my floor saw similar things pretty regularly
I've just found this channel. I tend to binge MrBallen, Creepypasta, Whispered Diaries and other similar channels. Your storytelling is the best yet. So calm and relaxing yet totally engaging! I also prefer the british accent as I live in the UK. I can't wait to binge all your content 😁😁😁 I'm so pleased to be here early too, I'm sure this channel will blow up. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort to make quality content 👌🥰
Ah that’s lovely to hear! Thank you and I hope you stick around for a long time! :)
Absolutely agree 👍🏼💯😊
Happy new year my dear 💞🎊
I agree as well. ❤
If you like Paranormal and Ghost Hunting shows and channels. I can give you from Australia where I live called Amy's Crypt and Adelaide Haunted Horizons 👍🏻😊😎❤️
Whispered diaries? 📝 on my way 👀 😂
This happened to me as a teenager. I was in my bed trying to nap and I saw a man in my room. He walked to my bed and leaned over me and got very close to my face. I pretended to be a sleep but could see him because I had my eyes open just a little bit and it was getting dark, but some light was still in the room. I remember him leaning close over me and I was desperately trying to hit him in the chest to knock the air out of him to get away, but I couldn’t move or anything. It was very scary and I remember thinking about how he even got in my room in the 1st place without my mom or sisters noticing (they were home). Eventually he moved away to where I could no longer see him and I guess I must of snapped out of it because I was finally able to move and when I looked around he was gone. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.
One night I was sitting up in bed at my dad's house, a couple weeks after he had been baptized. I was 12 at the time and was up late reading a book. It was around 2am. The right corner of the wall I was facing began to get dark, and out of the darkness stepped a tall hooded being, black, darkness emanating from him and dark liquid dripping from his sleeve. As he stepped out of the darkness it sounded like stone being dragged on stone and the sound of chains. It just stood there and I was frozen for a second before throwing the covers over my head. Just then my dad burst through the door shouting my name. I took the covers off and he said "was it in here?" He took Holy Water and blessed the room. I didn't really sleep that night. In the morning after breakfast he told me that he had woken up to the sound of stone being dragged against stone and the sound of chains. He opened his eyes and it was walking by the foot of his bed. He commanded it to stop. It turned to him and said "you may be out of our reach..." Then it turned towards my bedroom, took a step and vanished. That's when he jumped up and ran into my room.
The secret to break sleep paralysis is anger with "you will not over write my will power !" Eventually you won't ever get it again .
When i was a kid through my 20s i suffered sleep paralysis(nightmares) almost nightly.
It was always the same
I would "wake up" only to hear family talking about how i was dead.
I couldn't move, barely breath. I'd begin by trying to tell them i was right there. This turned into soundless yelling, then silen screams. In my panic i felt like i was suffocating.
Eventually I'd wake up for real and lay there in panic.
This inspired me to learn lucid dreaming, to help recognize the "nightmares" and find a way to exit with out the panic.
I had a few weeks of reoccurring sleep paralysis after my mum died. I never saw the hag but could sense her just out of my vision but the strangest thing was I felt wind like I was outside I could feel my hair blowing no windows were open but it took my breath away
I used to have them as a teenager and young adult: never seen the Hag but the shadow figures, the whispers , being engulfed in shadows and slowly descending into the shadows . But also experienced something that is more of an Out of Body experience where I was able to see myself in bed with my eyes wide open while experiencing a sleeping paralysis ..... watching those types of "real" videos where they try to scare you gave me some nightmares so i had to stop watching them lol . One thing that works for me is mentioning the name Jesus Christ or Jesus is my Lord . Mind you I'm not overly religious but it does work for me
Omg ! I experienced the same thing. I would also name Jesus and the shadow figure would scream and go away.
The first and only sleep paralysis I’ve experienced, happened to me when I was 15 or 16. I’m 25 now and it still has been the scariest moment of my life. When I went into Highschool I was able to move into the bedroom in the basement, I remember it being in the summer. I was home alone, and in the summers I would pull all nighters and stay up late playing video games. One day I took a nap mid day, and then I remember waking up like 30 mins later and I couldn’t move. I heard my door swing open, and I heard a crackling of a fire and I could feel something to the right of me but I obviously couldn’t move, I started feeling super hot. I snapped out of it, and I was drenched in sweat and felt hot but I checked around and nobody was home. It was terrifying and has stuck with me the past 10 years.
Love your channel. I'm so fascinated by other people's sleep paralysis experiences because the underlying theme/feeling is always the same- even when theyve never heard of it before. The history of sleep paralysis exists all over the world and predates wide spread communication by a long way! So it's always interesting to hear stories from all over the world.
I had my first experience with sleep paralysis when i was 15, i didn't have one again until i was 18 and pregnant with my daughter. Since then I've experienced sleep paralysis several times a week and multiple times a night. The stories i could tell you!
I had sleep paralysis for the first time in my early 20s. It all started when a friend of mine was telling me about her strange experience while sleeping, now sounds like sleep paralysis. Well I just thought was interesting and thought no more about it. Then she and I went on a trip together and when I got back from the trip I started experiencing sleep paralysis. The first night it happened I felt as though something was entering my chest and literally trying to push me out of my body. My eyes were closed and everything was blackness. So I tried screaming at whatever this was that no it could not come into my body and I said in my mind in the name of Jesus Christ leave. I kept repeating that over and over and I felt it leave. Then I wok up and was terrified to go back to sleep. This same struggle happened every night for about a week and a half. On the final day. There again I was asleep but was aware again. This thing was thing to enter my body through my chest and push me out. I was able to push it out in Jesus name and it faded away, but before it left it whispered in my ear in a low gravely voice that it was going to get me. Then I woke up with the sun on my face. After no more visitations. I think this was some sort of attachment that I picked up from my friend.
Brr, after working on this video for a while I keep having sleep paralysis related nightmares. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@TheTapeLibrary im sure working on these types of videos and doing the research needed can potentially add to your nightmares and sleeping paralysis . But i do love your style of content man . Thank you 🙏
I've had sleep paralysis and night terrors before, in which I tend to see a lot of spiders. But I had one interesting experience of sleep paralysis about a year ago, at my boyfriend's house around 4 in the morning. I awoke to a low, booming sound coming from the hallway, similar to what is called "brown noise." I could see what was going on around me, but I couldn't move. I kept trying to speak or make noise to wake up my boyfriend, but I had no control over my voice and could only manage to exhale silently. That's when I noticed there was something hovering in the doorway to the bedroom, unable to enter, staring at us. It had no form or face, just a very large, dark, static-like anomaly looming there, much like an electric-filled storm cloud. It was slightly transparent and took up the entirety of the space between floor and ceiling. It didn't seem harmful at first, and it drifted away toward the kitchen, where it waited for a moment before coming back. It made a steady electric sound, like a very low frequency that vibrated my ears. It was the noise that initially woke me, but it was getting louder. It seemed annoyed that we were not getting up to follow it into the kitchen, and I could feel its annoyance was aimed more at my boyfriend than at me. I started to feel afraid as I felt its anger rise, and by that point, I was able to make enough noise to wake my boyfriend so he could shake me fully awake. Of course, by that point, the demon, spirit, ghost, whatever you would want to refer to it as, was gone. I believe it was a demonic entity that had an attachment to my boyfriend, and I was capable of having the ability to see it while in sleep paralysis. I am unaware if it even realized I had witnessed it. Perhaps during sleep paralysis I was in another dimension where such things wander. Regardless, I have not seen or sensed its presence since.
That's creepy whatever it was
I’ve grown to sort of enjoy the experience. I hallucinated during first few times it happened to me. In fact, I didn’t know what sleep paralysis was the first time it happened to me, and genuinely believed I had been visited by aliens until I googled it. Now I’m able to “overpower” the experience and enjoy the tingly/floating/falling feeling.
I've had it multiple times, we were living in the hood at that time, surrounded by some very nefarious people, some dark people. I couldn't make out what was in my bedroom, it was a blur or a shadow. It didn't touch me either. I couldn't move or scream, i fought so hard to no avail. It was so terrifying i will never forget those two situations, forever burned into me. Hasn't happened in 5yrs now since moving away to the country.🤷♂️💯
I started experiencing sleep paralysis on a nightly basis over 10 years ago now. I went to sleep studies, therapist, psychiatrist basically the whole modern medical field throughout the course of about 2 years. At some point I don't remember what sparked it within me could I started down the occultic research and I left no stone unturned. I started with the normal ancient texts, two things like the goatia and the three books of Agrippa etc and eventually I started buying personal grimoires with some from the modern era and others being from as late as the 1400's. I don't know what it takes to be certified as an expert in the area of occultic studies, supernatural, and the paranormal but if the amount of time, resource, an energy I have put in to my research and studies are to reflect then I do think I am very close to being a expert. Even though it was sleep paralysis that started my studies eventually it became an obsession that led to demonology, ritualistic Magic practice, ancient spiritualism and so on and so on. However all that being said I have no doubt now that sleep paralysis has nothing to do with the wakened body and is an experience of the spirit, an experience quite similar to an out of body experience with the biggest difference being that sleep paralysis is an attack of the spirit or Astral body. These spirits that attack (call it a demon, shade, or jinn) feed on human emotions. I know that sounds cliche but it is the truth. On the Spectrum of human emotions the 2 that are the strongest are love (or lust) and fear. This is why it is very common for some people to experience a sexual encounter and others experience the fear encounters. These Spirits are ancient and for the most part they are ever present and ever watching, while you are in spirit during a sleep paralysis episode because you are not conscious of that fact we are tricked into believing we are awake but unable to move but we are in fact still a spirit Tethered to our body, and breaking away from that is a process that takes time and conservative energy that most especially here in the west just aren't familiar with. So of course these Spirits used that against us and they can appear as whatever they want unless you are consciously aware of the spirit realm that you are in at that moment (if you are aware then you have a little more control over how you see them) but they are indeed masters of fear and lust. I think they choose the Haggard looking old woman because that is something that instantly strikes fear but they don't want to scare you to the point of death so rarely will you see them take a more sinister appearance. I have found a lot of accounts of people seeing evil looking children and evil versions of themselves. If they know you are consciously aware sometimes it will stop but sometimes they will just go harder, that was what happened in my case however eventually I found some things that help reduce sleep paralysis and things you can say that will end it instantly
I get it. Have done for years now, ever since spending months in induced comas. With the accompanying hallucinations, I end up in looping nightmares of a dream, wake state, only to be dreaming the entire time. Everytime you wake up, make your brew, and get on with your day only to feel/see that thing, and then you're just trapped inside your own head in sheer terror, until you "wake up" the next time. So you may get a few hours of respite until you know that you're still a prisoner in your own mind. Sometimes I'll dream an entire day, only to be in the shower before bed and that familiar ominous, oppressive feeling rocks up. I'm a veteran and still, at 37 years of age, it still makes me feel like a child.
I actually trained myself to wake up. I wish I could help people break out of this horrible scenario. To me, it is definitely evil spirits. They prey on people in bad life situations like vultures to a wounded animal.
One of the few instances of sleep paralysis I had, I woke up to ‘a man’ in my room, strangling me. Was by far the most terrifying experience of my life. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream and I knew I wasn’t alone and then suddenly I’m being strangled by someone I can’t see (don’t ask me how I knew it was a ‘man’). I hope I NEVER experience that particular hallucination again.
ive had it happen to me once i had a i know what you did last summer fisherman stood glaring at me at the foot of my bed he had a huge machete in his hand was ghostly green in colour and for some reason had a dog with him .i knew what was going on with sleep paralysis but it was still utterly terrifying. the fact i could here my parents talking through the wall was a bit of a give away it wasn't real ,as my dads dead and i dont live with them anyway !
as scary as this sounds, have such a sweet spot for that movie.
Just subscribed to the channel. I have had sleep paralysis before, not long after my dad died I spent nights with my mom as the sudden death of my dad took its toll on us. I was 19yrs old lying in bed when I couldn't move. Fear came over me as I was struggling to move. I looked down and saw the bed sheet move as if someone had just sar down. I felt pressure on my ankles as if someone was holding them tight. It felt like ages but soon went when I heard my sister coming up the stairs. I suddenly became animates and punched out hitting my mom by accident as if some shackles had been lifted. I couldn't speak or move at the time and never had that experience before
I recently found this channel, so I'm going to tell my SP story even though it's5 months on. I was actually sleeping on the floor next to my bed because my back was bothering me and the hard floor seemed to help. I woke up not being able to move and the old hag was under the bed. Her face got really close to mine and she grabbed my neck and tried to pull me under the bed.
I've had two experiences with sleep paralysis that I remember. Neither was scary. The first happened when I was very young. I had a fever so I was delirious and in a dream I couldn't move. I must have been crying in my sleep and then I felt a hand on my chest and I woke up. It was an old woman but thankfully it was just my beautiful grandmother who was checking on me. She got me out of bed and we went downstairs for for some medication and dinner and I felt much better afterwards. The second happened a few years ago. Having a nightmare about a black figure following me and I woke up unable to move. I looked to the left towards my wife as I heard movement and I see a black figure slowly raise its head. I was terrified and then I hear a familiar meow. It was my Persian cat checking on me. Phew and I fell back to sleep. Hopefully these will be my only experiences.
Seems like they were definitely looking out for you. 😊
My sleep paralysis only happened once. I was in Vietnam. First visit. Me and my wife went to see a fortune teller. Also my first time. It was pleasant enough. But that night... that night I had a horrible dream. (I usually have horror dreams) but this one was different. An entity was there. A spector of sorts. Floating in the air. I awake screaming. But I couldn't move. And I knew I was awake. I couldn't stop screaming until my wife shook me. There's a mirror in the room we slept in. I have an unnatural fear of mirrors. And usually slept on the side away from the mirror. But that night. I somehow slept facing it. Or at least. That's how I awoke. Frozen and screaming. When I was finally shaken out of it. I was terrified. Shaken to my core. I felt something was there. I hadn't been that scared since I was a child. Tried telling my wife. But she brushed it off. For good reason. If you ignore it. It goes away..
I've experienced SP a number of times, the last time it happened was strange in the sense that I was fully aware of what was happening, but I simply couldn't move
Between early 2003 and late 2008 I lived in my first council property which was a bungalow, then all of a sudden I woke up in the night not being able to move a muscle in my body apart from my eyelids, I would just constantly flicker my eyelids, if I’m totally honest with you I didn’t see anything at all, and I’ve been a spiritual person since my childhood and I’m 61 years old now buddy but anyway, waking up and going through that experience right throughout the time I lived in that bungalow, and it terrified me like nothing before.
I have nerve damage, I ripped my sciatica nerve whilst block paving in Cardiff many years ago, and that’s what I kept putting it down to, my nerve damage, because I had never heard of sleep paralysis or the old hag before, the one thing that really does puzzle me is, I had never suffered from it before I went to that bungalow and I left that bungalow in late 2008 and believe it or not I’ve never suffered from sleep paralysis since I left that bungalow, about 3 and a half years ago I told my doctor exactly what I have written in this comment and she said to me, that’s very interesting that was her exact words when I told her that I had never suffered from sleep paralysis before I moved into the bungalow and I’ve never suffered from it since I left the bungalow.
Even being a spiritual person myself I saw nothing, I just felt like I was being crushed with my quilt I couldn’t even move my toes or anything apart from my eyelids and to me that’s just totally fucked and to be honest with you I just hope and pray that I never go through anything like it ever again and that’s a fact.
I hope that everyone that’s listening to this video, and have gone through sleep paralysis themselves they never go through it again and bless those that do go through it.
Thanks for sharing that! I think that experiencing the feelings without any visual element is fairly common. Super strange that you only got it in that bungalow though
I also had regular sleep paralysis while I was in the last place I lived. There was definitely a dark entity involved in the experience (though it wasn't a hag or hat man), and there were times where I felt like half my body was levitating and a couple of times where it felt like I was being swung around violently by my feet or thrown around the room. It wasn't my physical body being moved around, so I guess it was the other one. It hasn't happened since I moved to my current place, which is a different studio in the same apartment building, on the same floor. I don't know how you explain that other than there was something about the old place, but not the whole building.
Owwww!!!! 😢 That sucks about ripping your nerves
I found this channel yesterday and absolutely love the content as well as the production quality of the videos. Have you ever thought about doing self hypnosis sessions or guided meditations? Your voice would be perfect for that. Anyway thanks for your work Love your videos
Haha a few people have asked me this. Big fan of meditation myself so I would love to, but it's such a competitive area here on youtube
I have occasional well scary nightmares occasionally with sleep paralysis after I wake up! I feel scared out of my wits and frozen with fear trying to rationalize my waking reality.I suffer from acute loneliness and isolation and deoression and tske a 45mg mitazepine anti depressent which may or may not be responsible for the SP and nightmares!
I doubt it's your medicine causing it. More like a evil entity. Please believe me, as they are very real.
I was on mirtazapine for quite a few years until yesterday, when I (hopefully) had my last dose. It makes me sleep longer and makes it harder to get up, so there's more opportunity for nightmares as I spend more time asleep. It could be a factor.
I was getting SP regularly for a few years while on it, but it seems to have stopped in the last year, after I moved to a different place. I'm not sure if it was something related to that place, or maybe it stopped happening because I had started insulting my SP Demon. First, I asked it what its name was. It gave me a name, but it could've been nonsense, or a lie. Then, a while later, I asked it to "show me something I've never seen before", as it was getting boring seeing the same things over and over (it had been terrifying for years, but it was happening so often I was getting numb to it). By demanding it do something to impress me, it seemed to lose some of its power, because it wasn't as scary after that. It helped the SP nightmares, but not all nightmares. I'm also really isolated, so I can relate, and I hope things get better for you.
Last night.. I had a dream that I was asleep in my childhood bedroom and woke up with sleep paralysis. I was staring out my bedroom door and thought the silhouette of my dad was standing in the doorway, I got this intense feeling that something was about to happen and had to look away but couldn't. Then just when I knew it was going to happen a creepy shadowy face peered around the door frame. Then I was what felt like electrocuted, intense shaking from fear. My dream continued and was really wierd. Felt real. My old childhood dog came in my room and woke me up, then I went downstairs to see my dad cooking some wierd food. I made a sandwich and that's when I really woke up.. only to be totally confused where I was..
Other times it happens I feel like I was roaming my room. I’ve only had it once living in my apartment. I just woke and said I felt like I just walked around my room briefly. Other times living with my parents. I had roamed my room there too. My worst night terror I was beating and whipping a snake in my dream by killing it. I woke up my brother to my scariest blood curdling scream as I was beating my arm on the dresser. It hurt. I bruised my arm.
This is a fantastic channel, you speak with such engagement. In regards to these sleep paralysis stories I have a few myself. As a child and into my teens, I remember this dark smoke like entity in the shape of a humanoid figure. It would stare at me and I would try to ignore it, and as soon as it realised that I knew it was there, it would come at me, drag me off the bed and try take me out of the house. Those were repeated dreams, or scenarios throughout my childhood. The other one was in my teens, I remember waking up, (or thought I had woke up) and this cloud of black smoke hovering right above my face, at this point it went straight down into my throat. I woke up, (again) with a choking sensation. Absolutely terrifying. As an Adult I haven't had these since.
thanks for sharing and for the kind words
Had sleep paralysis many times, have never seen entities during the episodes. However, they usually start with a seemingly infinite sequence of waking up thinking im actually awake and going about my day then becoming paralyzed and falling over into the exact position im sleeping in, but each time the time period between waking and becoming paralyzed gets shorter and shorter. Sometimes, a few of the false awakenings will have red lights coming from the windows, but all i can see outside is the red light. Then eventually i cant get out of bed in the dreams and i realize im awake and cant move.
Sometimes they are preceeded by odd dreams. One was a dream where i saw what looked like 3D blueprints of some mechanism and a voice telling me that this was thensingle most important thing for humanity, then i woke up paralyzed seeing nothing but blue lights flashing and pulsing, a deep vibration running through my body and a sound of a pulsing, deep oscillation similar to an engine, but without any noise, instead comprised of distinct tones. And i heard laughter...
Another time i had a dream i was in a theatre and realized i was dreaming, then everyone else in the theater got a blank expression and stood up and started walking out like zombies, then the dream fell away into what i can only describe as a dream construct and a black sphere was there telling me with feelings and images that i was its builder and it needed me to enact its plans then i awoke into sleep paralysis. I have seen that sphere in my dreams many times....
Been attacked since I was 9yo. Only recently at age 50 have things simmered down. Followed since that very haunted house.
I have suffered from this for years since I was a teenager. Its a horrible experience if you have ever been through it. I think it's something bad because before i found god it was really bad . Since then its all but ended.
I’ve experienced this a couple of times. One time a ghostly face was right next to me and the other time was in a hotel and was just a black shadow with glowing red eyes. The only weird part of this is that on both occasions I didn’t feel scared or threatened in any way.
I had SP one time in my life. There was a short dark figure at the end of my bed. I was trying to wake by boyfriend up but all i could manage was a whisper. I was so frightened i just pulled the covers up and covered my eyes. I remember nothing after that.
I went through this for over a year and I mean like 4-5 nights a week. I got so used to it, that in the end the fear part had diminished and I was provoking it in my mind while it was happening. Then it stopped.
I have sleep paralysis. It’s truly terrifying. One night I was lying in bed when I woke up and couldn’t move at all. All I could do was lay in bed and stare at the figure standing at the foot of my bed. It told me in a creepy female voice “wait till you see what I do to your husband”. Then it climbed in bed between us. I can still feel the coldness of it touching my skin. As soon as I was able to, I sat up and it was gone.
Move to another house, quick!
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the upload! 🖤
Are you in America if you are I hope you’re having a great and happy thanksgiving yourself. I’m in England so we don’t have thanksgiving and to honest with you I have absolutely no idea why you have it America but like I said I really hope you’re having a great time. From Stevie boy in England.
Hope you've had a good one :) and thank you for watching as always!
Was so excited to see your video, your narration is so relaxing, calming and the stories are creepy just perfect to listen just before bedtime, thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them :)
I suffer regularly from this sleep paralysis and sometimes it's so terrifying I'm dripping with sweat and almost crying ( I never cry for any reason usually) . The contact is not with witches or hat men etc it's always tall bright alien types and always being taken through a bright corridor ( as far as I know they are not hurting me) . I woke one night as I floated towards my walk in wardrobe ceiling where there was a bright blue light waiting for me and I had to fight hard to stop actually being swallowed up by this light but I never could recall if I was ever successful. I have marks on my body that shouldn't be there and woke up with some kind of yellow jel under my armpit and shoulder ( right hand side only). This has been happening since I can remember and ongoing and is now just part of my life. Its something I need to talk about with someone who knows about this sort of thing but I don't know who to contact ( without being seen as some weirdo etc) for help etc. I'm 100% being truthful and not the kind of person to make stuff up for attention etc.
I’ve never seen anything during my episodes, but I’ve heard the weirdest and creepiest shit. Most of my episodes start as dreams that I come half lucid out of and realize something is in my room. The last one was so profound that I took my son, who was in bed with me, and went to sleep with my mom. It happened again about an hour later but in my mom’s room. Part of me thinks the 2nd time was actually my dad who had passed a few months before. I think he was trying to reassure me that I was safe and ok. The first attack was weird, it was an entity that got right into my ear and whispered something to me. I couldn’t make it out, but it sounded like white noise. Freaked me out tremendously! I was more worried for my kid. I told it it could not touch my son, and called on God. I’m not religious,but it worked
One last thing I know I’ve shared enough comments here is don’t do things to get in that paralysis I’ve only had it because I wrecked my sleeping schedule and pulls a few all nighters. Get proper sleep. And remain strong if it dose happen. I encourage everyone to fight it and break it if you get in that situation. You begin to learn more about consciousness and if our consciousness is apart of a greater plane of existence.
I've only had sleep paralysis twice that I can remember. The first time I saw a strange distorted creature. It appeared beside my bed, just glaring at me. The second time I found myself unable to move or scream and I just had this overwhelming feeling that I was in danger.
You are a true hero for the work you do. I know you don't need verification, but you are truly appreciated and commemorated for the information you drop on us and your brilliant storytelling abilities 😌
That’s very kind, thank you!
Thank you for this video, as someone who suffered with sleep paralysis all my life i can relate to most of this.
Happy Thanksgiving from Texas !
Kerrville, Texas!
i gotta poop😫😫😫
Hope you've enjoyed your day!
One time I was having an awful nightmare, and out of nowhere, I felt something pin me down and strangle me, and I woke up. I couldn’t open my eyes or move. I tried to shout and pray but I couldn’t remember them. I could sense something awful and in a gurgly snarly voice something told me “roll over so you can see my face”. I then snapped out of it and didn’t fall back asleep until 6am
Great vid, now make one on how to get a visit from the old hag cause despite the risk, I seriously wanna experience it myself.
I used to have terrible sleep paralysis... I would always feel a sense of dread... if i was sleeping with or around anyone , they would get up and walk out the room leaving me alone... then I would hear whispering in my ear then screaming... then I'd feel something get on top on me... I would try and violently shake it out... sometimes this would happen over and over.. I'd be physically exhausted in the morning from the fighting.... the last 2 times it happened were interesting... I was falling asleep and felt the dread feeling coming on and a sort of jolted up , I felt a gust of wind going away from me... I thought maybe I scared it.... I very last time this ever happened to me i did the same thing when I felt it come on but this time I saw a goblin looking woman on my chest and I had grabbed her bottom jaw and the top of her head... I pulled off the bottom jaw and she screamed and ran off... when I was fully awake after I was probably imagining it all but it's wierd that it stopped after that
Got woken up by a ghost figure once, wasn't sleep paralysis thankfully. Great channel ! Cheers
Thanks for sharing!
I experienced this one time , for a few moments in a dream then a few seconds in my wakeful state . In my dream a spirit was forcing me down with it's emotions and I could feel the hate and malice pinning me to the ground. I woke in a panic and could not move for almost a min.
working my way through all your videos and just come across this one.... Usually I have no personal connection with them and just find the stories facinating. This is the second video that I can truely relate to though (the other being the Enfield haunting as I grew up and lived in Enfield not far from the house for 27 years).
I have experienced sleep paralysis on and off for my while life. Some times it's just not being able to move. Other times full blown audotory/ visual "halucinations".
The halucinations do seem to change depending on where I have been.
At my parents house it was always the paralysis on it's own. No halucinations but it did feel like something was squeezing the air out of my chest and making it very difficult to breathe.
At an ex's house in Manchester I would see a black mass.... not exactly human shaped but not formless if you know what I mean? it would float around the room, coming close to me then moving away.. sometimes I would see boney looking fingers coming around the door frame before the black mass would enter. I woke up with a start drenched in sweat more than a few times whilst staying in that house.
My first house when I lived alone was the worst.
I would "wake up" in the middle of the night, hearing what sounded like someone stomping around down stairs. sometimes it sounded like they were in the kitchen smashing plates. Then I would hear them on the stairs. The house was small and had an iron spiral stair case in the corner. it was very loud when walking up and down it. The sound of whoever it was on the stairs scared me. I couldn't move and my eyes (although aparently closed) were fixated on the partially open door to my bedroom. The stamping on the stairs getting closer to the top.
Then. Silence. Just as I was thinking things had stopped and that I would be able to shake myself awake the door would slam open and a very disgusting looking, old "homeless" man would come rushing into the room! slamming into everything screaming absolute nonsesnse at the top of his lungs. I could never see the features on his face despite him rushing around the bed and screaming directly in my face. I can still remember the heat of his breath on my face and how loud the screams were in my ears. He never touched me but would scream and laugh while wrecking my room.
Finally I would wake up. He would vanish and everything in my room was fine. No one had been there at all.
First time this happened I got dressed, despite it being around 4 in the morning. Went out to my car and drove to my office to spend the rest of the night there. I didn't return to my house for 2 days. eventually I got used to it but it never became any less scary.
in the 5 years I lived in that house it must have happned atleast a few times a month. Not always as vivid as this but when it was bad... it was really bad. I am not ashamed to say that I woke up crying my eyes out at how terrifying it was more than a few times.
I'm now 37, live with my wife and 2 children and although once in a while I still get sleep paralysis it is just the paralysis part and nothing more. Thankfully I can deal with this and know how to shake myself awake.
If you ever do another episode going over sleep paralysis stories I'd be more than happy for you to share mine. I've only given brief descriptions of what I've expierneced above but would be happy to go into more detail. I find it helps me to talk about it and makes the memories less scary.
Concentrate on your breathing. It's the only thing that isn't paralyzed. I soon as you find yourself in that state, start taking deeper breaths, and you'll snap out of it. I've had sleep paralysis more than enough times, and that has worked for me.
I've been lucky and never had to go through sleep paralysis. I couldn't imagine how frightening it must be. I'm gonna go check out the other video you made about the old hag.
my favorite channel
Coming from the PH, we've got stories of nature spirits and enkanto. A tree near my room had been cut by the neighbors.
I've experienced sleep paralysis for a whole month. Sometimes, in my dream, I'd wake up with sleep paralysis. Only to later truly wake up and find myself in sleep paralysis for real.
Anyone who slept on my bed that time also experienced sleep paralysis and nightmares.
I had this when i lived in an apartment i was raised in,,my parents would tell me i would scream in the middle of night always around 3am,,i could'nt move,,my eyes would be open,,and i would feel someone grabbing me,and a weight on top of me, in one point i seen a black mist over me with a skeleton feature,,,i knew deep down in my soul,,,it was death letting me know that it was near,,these were times when i was heavy on drugs and alcohol,
I have never encountered the hat man but the old hag and child are most common in my SP
I had the most calm sleep paralysis experience of all, I could initially hear breathing right by my head and had the overwhelming sensation that there was something beside me looking right at me, my flight or fight chose fight so I went to jump at it but found myself unable to move, having listened to and heard so many sleep paralysis stories before I immediately realized what was happening and became completely calm, I was even excited, when I opened my eyes I could see a black dot start to form on the ceiling of my bedroom, I decided to just close my eyes in case the black dot turned into a demonic figure, I could still hear audible hallucinations of breathing or moving right beside both my ears but I wasn't worried, I just tried to test the paralysis and see how much I could movie myself, after I while I could manage to get my right arm on my head which was very interesting and exciting, untill suddenly I could just move freely and my ears and eyes went back to normal
I’ve only ever had sleep paralysis once, it was a stressful time as we had just moved and to relax me and my partner watched a stand up comedy show on Netflix by the comedian Greg Davies. I woke up laying on my side not being able to move, all I could hear was footsteps like pacing behind me with Greg Davies’ voice going ‘YOU BETTER NOT TURN AROUND’ repeatedly.
I would occasionally see him pacing out the corner of my eye, I was sweating like mad and my partner was fast asleep. I eventually was able to move slightly and my heart was pounding, I knew my phone was next to me so I pulled myself together, quickly grabbed my phone with my hand and spun around with the torch on, obviously nobody was there.
I mean..with all these stories about demons, witches, how the hell did I get sleep paralysis about Greg Davies?! 😂
But yeah..just thought I’d add a bit of a different story to the mix
My sleep paralysis has always been sounds. Like I’m frozen and can’t move, also can’t open my eyes but I hear voices.
That's you in a half awake asleep state of mind. It's like getting all the audio of your dreams but not the visual. It's kinda interesting.
@@bezoticallyyours83 that’s super interesting. It only has ever happened when I take antibiotics to add to the weirdness.
@@cannibalcatgirl I see. 🤔
Lol Lilith trying to seem more conspicuous. “ Hi! I’m Lily 😘”
I've only ever had one Sleep Paralysis event, I woke from a terrible Nightmare and knew that to fix it to get back to sleep I needed to roll over to change where blood was focused in my brain. I actually managed to break it, and then roll over which fixed the nightmare issue; however boy it certainly hurt some of my muscles.
Excellent channel and the sleep paralysis issue is one I am very familiar with unfortunately.
Just found your channel and I love it! Your voice is so lovely to listen to. Not everyone is a gratis story teller but you are! Subscribed!😊
i dont know if it was sleep paralysis, but i remember seeing something on top of my wardrobe almost the shape of a slumped over cat and yet at the time we had no animals, the hallway used to freak me out too it always felt like there was something watching me a black dog in a house that i spent a lot of my teen years in. i dont know if it was related to the stress of being on the autism spectum, being bullied, and having an abusive father in the house that was psychotic along with ocd and had paranoia.
I've met the old hag in my dreams, although I wasn't paralyzed, and there was more than one lady, just different ages, although they were all exuding a bad feeling. They stood outside the door to my apartment, and I felt safe that they couldn't enter because I hadn't invited them in, but then the old lady crawled in on all fours like a dog, and tried to latch on to my legs. I woke up just as she grabbed me, and was afraid to go back to sleep for the rest of the night.
Ive had 4 different instances if sleep paralysis, and each time there was some shadow person in the room that would walk up slowly to me. The third time it bent down to look me face to face and scared me to death
I sleep with my hands crossed over one another over my lower stomach and hip area. I felt hands gripping my wrists like vices and pushing downward pinning me although I couldn’t move anyway. I couldn’t open my eyes either so couldn’t see what was really happening. My mind was saying “why is my husband doing those”? I finally was able to see and open my eyes and my husband was not around and of course didn’t do that. My mind still can’t make sense of it. The distinctive grip of hands on my wrists pushing was so real.
I sleep with bowls of water under my bed... when I feel that paralyzed feeling set in.. I focus my mind to the water... and it guides me AWAKE... just some FYI for anyone who suffers in silence like I use to... waking up STUCK with that cold , fuzzy, dense feeling of something holding your legs or arms down... That moment when you moan as hard as you can in an attempt to speak... or with all you might try and JERK and part of your body just wake yourself... feeling like your throat is closing... YEAH, BEEN THERE!! ALOT OF TIMES!!
I had a similar experience with the ring wraith, here it goes:
While I was asleep I suddenly opened my eyes and this very tall very thin shadowy figure standing at the end of my bed with long arms and dark shadowy claws black long hair a no face (identical to a ring wraith from LoTR) was just standing there looking like it was ready to pounce, I couldn't move or yell and I was petrified, suddenly the thing at light speed grabbed my legs and I finally woke up screaming after I calmed down I checked what time it was, it was 03:03 AM. Thankfully it was the only experience I have ever had with whatever that thing was.
Sleep paralysis is such a terrifying experience. Luckily, I've never seen anything while experiencing it but not being able to move or yell for help is scary enough to me!
Love your channel! Fab content, really love the tape recording sound effect in the background ❤
Im always in my room but its somewhere else..or once was nr a horrible building i couldnt enter
I’ve had this happen to me a few times. I never saw anything. But I could feel it was coming. Getting closer. I couldn’t move at all. I tried calling out for help. But nothing came out. I could barely see the area it was coming from. It was in my peripheral vision. I kept trying to turn my head to see better but I couldn’t no matter what I tried. As it got closer I could see and hear things moving. Then I was able, through a Herculean effort of pure will power, to scream out HELP!!! A trickle at first. But the more I tried the louder it got until I was skaken by my girlfriend. She told me I was screaming in my sleep.
Scary stuff.👍💛👊
I used to hear a language of screeching sometimes. But one time I actually heard a ZX Spectrum loading sound while experiencing Sleep Paralysis also. Very weird.
I have had it many times, started during the pregnancy of my 2nd son but I have never seen anything. Things look weird like in 2D so my comforter looks like a frozen in time ocean wave.
Used to have sleep paralysis weekly as a child and would wake up with my bed soaked in sweat because of how terrified i was.
I've only had it twice as an adult and it's always the same thing without fail. An old hideous hag slowly mumbling and walking toward the bed and leaning over with her face right in mine grimacing
I went through a stage when my life was really difficult and sleep paralysis would happen several times a night. I’ve had shadows and people in the room and near me but never on top. My two main memories are trying to scream and nothing coming out, and staring at the wall and seeing old 70’s style wallpaper peeling off the walls. My real walls were just plain magnolia 😬
Great show
I have experienced sleep paralysis many times - too many to count. I will share here in case it can help anyone else.
At first when i was young, it would happen and i would immediately be terrified. Typically i would think i was going to die, and there would always be an accompanying feeling of dread and often a vibrating noise that had a darkness in it as if a force of evil. There was a presence in the room. Sometimes i would see a dark figure at the end of the bed. Sometimes i felt the thing on top of me. Thankfully i only remember seeing a face once, and it was a hag or demon. Smiling at the side of my bed. I chose to ignore it and it went away, as it always eventually does.
I have lost the fear of sleep paralysis now. At first i would respond with fear and anger and desperation, but i slowly realised it didnt help.
There was not much to be done, just try to relax, focus on breathing, and ignore any entities you perceive.
I no longer suffer it very much, but the last time it happened was this year. I have become a believer in god and the afterlife in the last year, so this time, as the feeling of dread began to intensify, i calmly and "loudly" (i guess in my head) called out to god "God, help me!" - and it stopped immediately and my eyes opened. I was awake and free. Then went to sleep again and no more. I didnt necessarily think it would work and was sort of shocked that it had so immediately.
It's a horrible thing, but when you experience it remember it will pass, do not fight it with fear and anger. Do not look at any entities if you can help it - do not give it that power, instead feel for your own inner power. Believe in it, you will find it, and if you believe in a higher power, call out to it - never know, might help :)
Thanks for sharing!
I've had SP many times over the years once it was an Indian lady sat on my chest with no face I remember all the colours of saris she was wearing. I've had a cat with its skin falling off. Hands grabbing my ankles to pull me out of bed all sorts of things just tell them to leave me alone now. Some have been very scary some sexual. It's horrible
Thank you for sharing! Sounds awful :(
@@TheTapeLibrary yes it's been on and off for years. It isn't pleasant
Sleep paralysis is spiritual. I suffered for a long until somebody told me to call out for Jesus and it will stop. Long story short it works every time and eventually it has stopped happening all together.
sleep paralysis just sucks in General. My only creepy experience is was my first one where my vision became fuzzy and grey and a dark matter was above me. Lasted about 5mins and was scared to go back to sleep. Never slept on back ever again.
I have a similar experience except I was visited by what I can only describe as 2 demonic creatures who came to collect me for death. With the heavy feeling of evil and despair I tried to move but couldn't. I could feel my heart beating like crazy as I heard one say not yet but soon .I had a heart attack a few days later and almost died. It was the scariest experience I ever had in my life. Hope to never see them again.
