Hey all, I wanted to do something different and have this out for Halloween but I missed it by a day, it just took so long to edit. Anyway hopefully this is interesting, I put timestamps in if anyone wants to hop around as there are cases / some psychology spots in there too. Just out of interest, the US seems to be flirting with the UAP topic at the moment, has that changed your perspective on it? / what do you think is going on with that?
I love these kinds of videos as well as the missing people ones. I have had too many unexplained events including one earlier today when I was streaming my son playing a video game. I had set my mic a few feet away from me to prevent reverb from the computers speakers. I checked in on the audio of the stream and I heard a stomping noise. It was just me and my son there. Then I went back after the live to hear it better and it sounds like something was tapping and grabbing my mic.
When you say "the US", you mean the US government and military, don't you? 😏 They've known about it for ages. It's only because of some leaks of USAF footage that Congress decided to hold a hearing...
i watched the congressional hearing last year on UAP’s. if you haven’t seen it you should watch, it’s on yt. top Air Force pilots testified & showed video from their fighter jets of a couple different types of UAP’s. one testified that a crashed UAP was recovered & there was a pilot - non human pilot 🤯😱 i couldn’t believe they admitted it! very cool though
I had a non-human encounter in the middle of the night around the age of 10, which didn't involve sleep paralysis. I often had insomnia so waking up in the middle of the night was not unusual. One night I glanced around my bedroom and saw a shadow at the foot of my bed. I sat up and stared at it for what felt like 15 minutes because I was baffled at what it could possibly be. No matter how much my eyes adjusted to the darkness, it was darker than everything else in the room, but had the shape of a small humanoid with a head and shoulders.This frightened me, but I decided to keep watching while thinking of an escape plan. I eventually ran out of my bedroom and turned around to watch my doorway. After a minute, I decided to look into my room and see if it's still there. Not only was it still at the foot of my bed, but it immediately began wobbling towards me with its head bobbing side to side a second after my eyes locked onto it. It took another second for me to register what was happening as it covered half the distance towards me, and I then bolted straight to my parents room. My parents refused to wake up, so I sat on their bed watching the doorway for the next 30 minutes until falling asleep. From then on I spent most nights sleeping on the living room sofa, as I always felt safe there. Sometimes I would go back to my bedroom, but I'd often get terrible nightmares when sleeping in my bed. A while after this event, I had a sleep paralysis incident where a large dog-like creature crawled on top of me in my bed and was sniffing my face until I broke free of the paralysis. Because of this and the repeating nightmares, I decided to stop sleeping in my bed altogether. This then prompted my mother to ask my father to try sleeping in my bedroom to see if anything would happen to him, and he had the same unsettling sleep paralysis experience the night after I had that experience.
@@DissidentB He refused to repeat that experiment. A large dog-like creature crawled on top of him and was sniffing his face. The same thing happened to me the night prior in my bedroom, and my refusal to sleep in my bed prompted my mother to check if anything would happen to him if he slept in there. They then agreed that I should sleep in the living room from then on.
Glad you are going on some adventures into the paranormal on this channel. I think that evaluating mysteries with wonder and rationality makes for great storytelling
I had an encounter when i was a drug addict earlier in my life. I laid down to rest and when i woke up i couldn't move. I could feel that someone or something was beside me in bed but i couldn't turn around to look becaue i was paralyzed. I could feel it's long claws scratching my back. I was in full panic mode and didn't know what to do when suddenly i heard a voice, an audible voice that was not just my thoughts and it just said: pray. I didn't know any prayers but for some reason i was able to recite the Lord's prayer without even reading the gospels before. And instantly this entity started screaming and said: do you think that will save you? And after that it was gone and i could move again. I was so glad that i started crying ans thanking God. I became a Christian and turned my life around and now i've been clean from opiates for about 8 years
I was on acid one time and had an out of body experience. Didn’t see any aliens or anything just my body laying on the couch while I walked around the room looking out the windows
I had episodes of sleep paralysis when I was a child. They did involve beings as well. There were different beings that I interacted with, and while the majority of the time I was in a dream like state, feeling like I was outside of my body, I saw things while I was awake as well. To me, it feels like something very real happened. Although as an adult I am still a very vivid and active dreamer and am prone to both hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations. I don't know if we will ever really know whether or not the beings were real, but the experiences and perceptions are real and have had a significant impact on me for my entire life. I feel traumatized by some exoeriences and more curious about others. There is so much research that still needs to be done in this area.
I used to get sleep paralysis periodically as a kid and it would always be that there were non human beings just out of eyeshot, so I couldn't see them, but there were a few of them and they were all around me, but never came close enough to see. And they were injecting me with different things. A bit later in life I ended up staying for a bit in a room where everyone in my family has had some kind of ghost experience and in that room the sleep paralysis really came back. But in that room it was all a lot darker. One night I woke up paralysed and sat on my chest just staring at me was this piglet-goblin thing with grey skin and tusks and oozing, slimy skin. And it just stared at me with these black, evil eyes for what seemed like hours while I was frozen and couldn't make a sound and was terrified.
Your experiences sounds similar to mine. A lot of people say they have regular audio and visual hallucinations but for me when I used to get episodes (I don't anymore, which I'll get into in a minute) I could never see anything there, but just sensed the evil that was present in the room. That can be scarier then seeing it. I felt on one occasion while sleeping on my left side that there was something pushing down on my right hip. Science says its the mind waking up when the body yet hasn't and your in a semi dream state which accounts for the Hallucinations. The major flaw in that is, if this were simply that, then like dreams, we should hear an even number of people having pleasant dreams, indifferent dreams aswel as the nightmarish ones. Sleep paralysis is always, without exception (other than lucid dreaming) always terrifying. I am not really religious but during episodes of SP it somehow becomes almost instinctual to try shouting or screaming in your mind for Jesus or God almost instinctively, probably due to the sense of evil present. So anyway, after one particularly bad episode one night (and id been having at least two or three episodes a week, even a night for a short time) I came out of it finally able to move. I jumped up, and using my finger just drew a sign of a cross above the door and window in my bedroom and said allowed, "By the authority of God himself, the king of heaven, you cannot pass this threshold and enter this room ever again." And I meant it because at that point I was exhausted and these were not relenting. As I said, I'm not religious or here pushing religion, but since the day I did that, I've never had another episode In my room. I stayed over a buddies for a week and had two episodes there but that's it. I can't say that would work for everyone, or even if that's the cause of the cure in my case. I have no doubt science would say it may well have stopped the episode of SP, but not to any real divine intervention but rather, the placebo effect. I dont know, not will I speculate on which, I just know and can say hand on heart that doing that literally stopped the episodes overnight.
@@WelshChappie I know what you mean when you say it can be scarier not seeing them. The ones I used to have as a kid, I could almost see bits of them, like movement in my peripheral vision, but too distorted to make out properly, even when I tried to turn my eyes as much as I could. And I remember there was this awful battle in me where one half of me needed to see them, desperate to catch a glimpse of one of them so I could see what was doing this to me. But the other half of me desperately didn't want to see them because I could sense they were not people and I knew seeing them would be the scariest thing. I just didn't want it to be happening, but there was nothing I could do. I would be totally frozen and unable make any noise for help. It can feel like it's going on forever at the time.
Just as a sidenote, it's funny in the video that they mention marks on the body because as a kid my mum would say that I kept getting these round burn marks on my back, like someone had stubbed a cigarette out on me, and she couldn't tell what they were or where they were coming from. And I'd have no idea they were there until she said. To me it was weird that she kept questioning me about where they were coming from as I'd never seen them and couldn't feel them. And she thought I must know what they were as she said they were like burns.
@@judecieffe6769 Yeah I know, sometimes you try so hard to scream that you may manage to maybe make a kinda gurgling sound. I felt once like I was there 15/20 minutes. It was probably more 2 to 3 but felt much longer. It would make sense that at least part of you wants to see them. If I stand in front of you aggressive and throw a punch, you can defend yourself against an attack or attacker you see coming. If I keep hitting you in blindsided attacks then you can't defend yourself against that. Similar principle applies I suppose, you cannot fight or defend against something you cannot see
@@judecieffe6769As to physical marks and stuff, I can't say I remember having any of that kinda thing but what I can say is that to this day, I can picture it now and feel the sensation, I felt that pressure push down on my right hip and it felt so real that to this day I am sure there was something in the room. Whether it was a physical thing or something that could manipulate aspects of things in our reality, I don't know. Theres Many more than 3 dimensions, yet we can only see 3 dimensionally so the 4th, 5th and 6th dimensions and more are a reality all around us, we just don't have the ability to see past or into more than 3 of them. I have thought of this often, you could at this moment have something standing right in front of your face and it can see you, but you have no idea it's there if it was in the 4th dimension
I don't have any recollection of being "abducted" but I've experienced sleep paralysis on a few occasions where I woke up unable to move at all knowing someone or something was in the room with me. It's been years since this has happened but even to this day I catch myself looking in the corner of my room praying that it never happens again.
Happened to me when I was a kid. I had cried in my sleep or something because my eyes were crusted shut. I woke to an eerie feeling and thought there were werewolves in the vicinity; no idea why.
I have sleep paralysis all the time. I’m vaguely aware of my surroundings, but not enough to discern anything useful. When I try to move myself awake, my muscles only work at about 10 percent capacity. I have learned to basically flop like a fish until I am awakened fully by the movement. There is never any daemon around, I just hate not being able to control my body.
I've had one experience similar to this. I felt my bed move or shake during the night like something very heavy had just pounced upon it. That jolted me awake. To my absolute horror, there appeared to be a huge, black shadowy dog or werewolf-like creature straddling my body. I was completely unable to move or scream for help. After a few seconds (that felt like several minutes), I remembered to call on the holy name of Jesus, and the entity finally left. It was utterly terrifying!
I went through a phase of combined sleep paralysis and multiple awakenings, however there was never a supernatural element to the hallucinations. It tended to happen when I fell asleep on the sofa after Saturday lunch, and what I mostly experienced was waking up on the same sofa, just paralysed. Sometimes I'd just about manage to roll off it or make a sound, with a huge effort, but I'd then wake in the next cycle of multiple awakening back on the sofa. Sometimes when I woke for real I'd get very paranoid about whether I was really awake, or whether I'd "wake up" back on the sofa again any minute. I did have a sense of other people being around, and I'd try to call out ot them for help, but I never thought there was anything strange about them: since my parents were in the house, I just assumed it was them, just out of my field of view. One time in the middle of one of these episodes, I rolled off the sofa and crawled across the hearthrug to where a copy of the TV Times (a UK weekly TV listings paper) was lying, and tried to memorise the lead article. It was all about a crash of an Airbus airliner during an air show display, complete with diagrams. When I finally woke up for real, I researched it, and no such crash has ever happened (there was a famous real one where the Airbus plowed into some trees on autopilot, but that was nothing like the one I saw). Eventually these experiences just stopped.
Many people report dreams where they are flying. Sleep paralysis with feeling there is someone in the room , and missing time, 'dissociation' , sometimes with injury occring while dissociated . are common in people with PTSD, especially from childhood abuse.
Bro the images you used are absolute bangers. The alien with the glass kf water looks amazing but terrifying in a simple kind of way. Idk who did these but they're amazing.
Woke up one night in December 2015, loud horrible whirring noise and the brightest light i ever saw was blasting through my blackout curtian window. It was the 2nd most terrifying moment of my life. Couldnt move anymore and my bedroom door that i couldnt turn and look at opened and i tried to pray and lost conciousness. Had to have been about 4 or 5 AM.
As a regular sufferer, that loud buzzing noise is my cue that paralysis is about to start. I've discovered that mentally saying The Lords Prayer at this early stage can stop the whole experience, whether religious or not. It does make me wonder what's causing it.
I’ve had a few episodes of sleep paralysis. The weirdest though was a dead man crouching in between the wall and ceiling but he jumped onto my chest. And I couldn’t breathe. I found that so strange
Before my 15th birthday, I had night terrors every 2-3 a month. It started once or twice a year, but as I got older. They’ were frequent and scary awful. Odd part was my parents or older brother never woke up. Even though I made quite bit of noise and turned on lights. Worse was the feeling utterly hopeless,
I've had sleep paralysis for years, more often or not a creature will enter my room masquerading as a loved one and when they get close they drop the masquerade and sink their long fingers into my kidney area. I've had these experiences for so long that I'm no longer very afraid, mostly just furious at the audacity of them. I've also had an abduction experience but it's a long story to type out here. Life is weird.
Two things can be true at the same time. As a person who has experienced sleep paralysis since I was a child I get the cultural aspect to it. We were always told it was a witch on our chest when I was young. It can be a terrifying experience but it can also be broken. I learned to physically break out of mine. With that being said, I also have felt a presence in the room with me, once it sat on the edge of the bed. I know this because my body physically rolled toward the edge of the bed when it was depressed. I have also had my sleep paralysis witnessed by my wife. From her perspective it looks like I'm awake but screaming and fighting with someone. She says it is pretty scary to see. I don't know what it is but I don't think it's just my brain.
About 2 years ago inwoke up on the middlenof the night randomly, indidnt hear a noise or feel anything or anything but i saw a small robbed being in my room. It reminded me of the blue troll beings from Communion. I immediately fell back asleep. I have a long history of being woken up by weird noises, weird smells, being tapped or hit but only once or twice have i ever seen anything. I have never had like any kind of negative physical or mental health effects, except it is very hard for me to fall asleep and inrarely stay asleep long unless i medicate. I have slept with TV or radio or laptop or cell ohone playing some movies or shows all night. I also sleep with a fan on high all year long. I find that the movement of air and the lights make it easier to ignore non physical entities that might be bugging me.
I have more than enough experiences like these. Very serious very real. From when I was a kid up until my early thirties. At some point the experiences seemed to stop. I think once you are in the system they tend to keep you in the system. But maybe I have outlived my usefulness. Or I’ve graduated from Sleep Paralysis University.
This sounds almost exactly like the premise of an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the crew of the Enterprise are being experimented on by creepy aliens while they sleep. This episode aired at around the same time that the events of this video took place.
I've gone through periods where I've suffered from sleep paralysis a ton, to the point I immediately recognize it, and have a strategy to get out of it (try to yell while trying as hard as you can to squeeze with your fingers and toes.) it is a really unpleasant experience, and I understand why people who experienced it once might think something totally insane happened.
A recounting of very fascinationg cases and well done altogether. As forDr. Mack, I truly don't know enough to state an opinion either way. I do tend to thin k he was a sincere individual and wanted to help his patients.
I had a sleep paralysis episode one time where it felt like a demon was trying to crawl through the couch I had been sleeping on, and into my back. This went on for several minutes. Was a long time ago and it freaked me out because I’d never heard of sleep paralysis before. Then recently I woke up, unable to move and hearing the sound of a chainsaw in my room. After about thirty seconds of being unable to move, I realized what was happening, though. So not so bad the second time around. Not saying that people don’t have genuine abduction experiences, just that I didn’t.
In my experiences John was truly credible man within his work and the very reason he is not with us today. He had hidden proof that was shut down quickly. Truth is constantly covered up and nothing is as what it seems.. these experiences are very real.
After learning about, and experiencing sleep paralysis, as well as the waking hallucinations you can have before and after sleep, i'd go as far as saying that it's opened my eyes to how *so* many "paranormal" (be it ghosts or aliens) experiences happen around sleep. I think the aforementioned phenomena explain so *many* cases. I think most of us totally underestimate the dream-mind, and maybe even find the thought that they can hallucinate while awake to be more repulsive than the thought of the paranormal. It amazes me how many tales outright describe sleep paralysis without any awareness that it's a natural phenomena. Id ask you all to look out for the commonality of these extraordinary experiences happening around sleep. It's strikingly overrepresented, from what I can see
Hey Lisa, we've been together for so long that life hasn't changed much but yeah loving it, we're just in the English countryside for a week hiking and stuff
Same! I recognize it immediately. My strategy is to try as hard as I can to squeeze with my fingers and toes, while also trying to scream or yell. Works pretty well. I'm usually out of it within a minute.
Sleep paralysis is real. This notwithstanding so are some anomalous experiences, IMO. IE, Just because fake fur coats exist, doesn't mean there aren't real furs.
I’ve had it once, a being of a greyish white, female long hair NOT an old women, young and on top of me, long flowing hair, long legs, could feel the weight which obscured the face I wasn’t scared but it was a bit bizarre being molested by the entity, I could see through them the room everything, but couldn’t move, eventually the entity moved toward the window and gradually faded. Never had it since.
I've experienced sleep paralysis all my life, though less now than when younger. I never had missing time or memory of ET's or some such. I don't know if sleep paralysis is part of something more than just ET/UFO phenomena but it would be interesting to find more info.
I work nights and my sleep has been off a long while. I've endured sleep paralysis and hypnogogic states which depending on you're interests or fears, can be aliens or ghouls. I've learned how to break out paralysis when it starts, you have to really master it. Don't sleep on your back either. Paralysis is basically your body trying to hit REM when the brain isn't ready.
Wow, thank you for sharing that. Sleeping on your back must trigger a vulnerability in a lot of people. I wonder what's going on there? I've experienced some strange dreams while sleeping on my back. They seem so real.
@@anonone8954 when I break free of paralysis I use my neck to raise my head off the pillow. Sometimes depending on pillow/neck position I can tell when it's coming on and I'll start fighting it.
I've suffered from regular episodes of sleep paralysis since I was a kid. My brain has now mostly replaced the creepy dark entities with my husband checking on me and trying to wake me up. It's not every time but it's definitely a relieving change even if he's not really there waking me up, it is very comforting. In real life he can't usually tell if I'm having an episode, even if he's awake right next to me
I have a very spiritual life, and am very connected to my animal and human family that have crossed over. I have video evidence and other people have seen things as they happen. This is my direction, why is it not possible that people could have experiences with beings from somewhere else. After all I've seen and if only 1% of what I've read is true, then anything is possible
I had an OBE..in 1978 in a Hotel Room Brighton UK. 3 Entries in my room. I wasn't asleep. .. looking down at the two single beds. One went to strange my girlfriend . Absolutely true. I I will never forget. Absolutely terrified after.
I’ve had one sleep paralysis hallucination it was my cousin Dustin who has autism but I hallucinated him in a sleep paralysis he started screaming when I noticed him. I believe it was my brains way of comprehending god watch over me in my sleep before when I was to young to picture what he looked like. So he showed up as loved family member but my rational brain freaked out when I noticed because I knew he was over 50 miles away in another town at 11 at night.
At this point I do think there is something outside of our understanding happening to some people. Some, I am sure, may fit into one of the other, more "normal and widely more accepted" explanation categories, I do nor think they all do. There seems to be a certain percentage where these "normal " explanations don't seem to fit....
I've had many sleep paralysis episodes. I researched it a lot and read it's sometimes related to alien abduction. Personally, I've had terrifying audio hallucinations, shadow people, the hag, and an unknown entity violently shaking me, usually falling asleep, as opposed to waking up to paralysis. After I had learned how to relax while going through a sleep paralysis episode, the fear subsides and my state of mind becomes pleasantly comfortable. It's a gateway for lucid or very vivid dreams. Nowadays, demons don't even show up anymore during sleep paralysis episodes
It's happening everywhere mate and all around the world very similar experiences long before TV, the internet which many are blaming it on if you get what I'm saying. It's real. Stay safe and stay strong make it difficult for them and fight it if possible.
@britishpatriot7386 i hear ya. I do believe in God, aliens, ghosts, clairvoyance, and the mysteries of parapsychology. I have had more than a few strange encounters. (Mainly Ghost sightings and haunting) There's so much evidence of extraterrestrial beings. It could be government intentional misinformation in the attempt to deny their existence..... it's sad that some people don't tell their story in fear of being dismissed and labeled mad or crazy. There's so many things out there that either we don't know or science can't explain.
I actually have been abducted, My Mom also, we both discussed. When l was 10.. I didn't know what Grey's were ...but we saw them! And no our eyes weren't closed. I'm 70 now.
Idk If I've been abducted if I have I don't recall but I've seen them (once that I am able to recall anyways) as a totally sane logical and very much awake adult. It changed my thinking even more so
I've had night terrors for most of my life.. up until my late 20's it happened several times per week. Now it happens only once or twice per month, but I am still afraid to sleep. While it feels supernatural, it never felt like any kind of abduction to me.
I also believe sleep paralysis/out of body experience is also your own soul/god watching your body while you sleep and can freak people out who don’t understand
I’ve had many experiences with sleep paralysis and have felt a presence during. I did experience hallucinations but attribute that to not being fully awake at the time. Although I do not believe it was anything extra terrestrial I found it ironic that the times the sleep paralysis was most often was in homes were there was other paranormal type experiences with everyone else in the house as well.
You should never go into hypnotic regression (as either subject or therapist) looking FOR a specific thing. You should make it much more open-ended, and maybe just restrict it to a specific time and place, like "what happened on November 1st up on the moor", etc etc.
As professor John E. Mack said: "The difficulty for our society and for our mentality is, we have a kind of either/or mentality. It's either, literally physical; or it's in the spiritual other realm, the unseen realm. What we seem to have no place for-or we have lost the place for-are phenomena that can begin in the unseen realm, and cross over and manifest and show up in our literal physical world. "So the simple answer would be: Yes, it's both. It's both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it's also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off."
Those 'learning processes' he talks about, is the mass brain-washing of the public to ridicule and have cognitive dissonance about the spiritual encounters they have. I touch on this in my video 'Away With The Fairies'. There is, whether we like it or not, overarching powers that have taken over/created the scientism we suffer now. Reducing our understanding of anything paranormal. John was a threat to that. Chris French, though he seems to represent a fair look at it, indeed is a gatekeeper.
Sleep paralysis. I have the vaguest memory of this when young, under 8 or 10 years of age. When you mentioned early childhood trauma then it made sense. I have never experienced anything like the experiences others had. Hallucinating. In my youth, while very ill, I saw a person duck into my room. I was on my parents’ bed and saw the foot and bottom of a robe as well as a wing. We were religious so that, perhaps, was a way to cope with my sickness. No other hallucinations have been experienced. Could that happen while under SP? Sure. We are complicated networks. Interestingly, as a child I thought everyone else was a robot, but not me, of course. That was another way to cope with a domineering mother and a father gone a lot on military TDY. The will to survive is strong in our DNA? 😅
As a hypothesis, I cannot help but wonder if any such memory-wiping drug were used on those abducted, if one effect of the drug is an inability to accurately identify features of the creatures. Memory is very malleable, and it's possible the "grays" is just a placeholder the human mind defaults to as a result of the drug. The image is pervasive in pop culture, and those abducted with no memory would use it as a surrogate image for what they've forgotten. Just a thought.
As someone that has regular bouts of sleep paralysis....there are no demons or shadow people. The best way to describe it is basically going into a trance so to speak. The worst thing about it is you can get 8hrs of "sleep" and wake up just as tired as you were when you went to bed.
The "Poll" did NOT ask people if they believed they were abducted! The questions in the poll asked specific aspects that they related to those who are abducted and made the inference based on the results that those who polled in the affirmative would be considered abducted. The poll results make false equivocations that are not causative or even correlative, it ignores the fact that there may be more than one source that may cause someone to attribute their affirmative answer to one or more of those questions.
Something I've noted about certain kinds of alleged paranormal encounters is that some of the symptoms overlap with Irukandji syndrome, as both can have periods of vomiting and an overwhelming, and seemingly unexplainable, sense of doom. Some Siezures and heart conditions can also bring this on. What's needed to solve the question about alien abduction cases is that we need to know the full capabilities of the human brain first and foremost. If someone has an experience that science says is impossible for the brain to even come up with, let alone lie about, then these experiences need to be taken more seriously. Otherwise it's just likely caused by one of a host of possible medical conditions. It's quite a conundrum since how is humanity supposed to be able to identify something that we can't even conceive of? Oddly enough this very question was brought up independently by Neil Degrasse Tyson.
I work 3rd shift as well. Im leaving for work in 20 minutes... It has screwed me up real bad. Sleep paralysis is part of it. And my digestive system is schizo. I live at night, and then for 1 and 1/2 days of the week I try to flip back to normal to optimise my time with my family. Its not going good. I pass out from tiredness in the middle of the day, not able to focus or really tune in on any activity. Too old for it, thats what I think. I have been at it for a bit over a year, I have a financial change coming hopefully in a couple of months and I can do something else.3rd shift differential is great according to pay rate, but it is a young person, or single persons game. ( I meant to leave this as a response to another persons comment. See? I even screwed that up. Lol. The sleep paralysis episodes are almost guaranteed on my one night that I try to sleep in the normal pm cycle with my family. I dont see spirits, but I do sense an evil presence)
I thought that what i experienced growing up was sleep paralysis but thinking i had already woken up and spending about an hour or more thinking i am living my life only to wake up forreal was very strange to me. But experiencing actual sleep paralysis. And waking up in the complete light of day to be sensing uter dread then having something crawl up the side of my body slowing touching me til i got to my eyes and i don't remember anything after that but waking up. Pure nightmare daremare i wouldn't wish that terror uppn anyone
I learned a trick for those who have sleep paralysis. Wear a sleep mask. The guy who did that said his SP stopped forever after wearing one of those. He opens his eyes and it's just black, no shadow ppl in his room creeping closer, breathing on him, strangulation feeling, faceless black mass that is intelligent, old hag, etc...whatever your sleep paralysis are. If you wear a sleep mask over the eyes. It stops.
My first sleep paralysis was kind of weird. Nothing crazy. I was sleeping on my stomach with my arms by my side and my head looking left on my pillow. I woke up with my lamp dim and I couldn’t move. I felt a little panic but I didn’t really feel too scared. If maybe lasted 10 seconds before I passed out and woke up curious
I had an experience once where I "woke up," and something was on my chest. Lots of hands and I was trying to push them away and there were more and more hands as I desperately tried to push this thing off my chest. I couldn't see anything and after a time I REALLY woke myself up. Sweaty and breathing hard. I went to another room and laid on the floor and eventually went to sleep, Trying to figure out just what had happened. It was a bad thing. I knew that. I had sleep paralysis on one other occasion but no monsters. Just couldn't move. Eventually gave up and woke up in the morning okay. No monster that time.
I woke up and sat up and saw something small in my room then I was knocked out. I also saw something fly low over my house. It was beautiful. Must be related I’ve never had sleep paralysis and wasn’t paralyzed when this happened. The incidents occurred 18 months apart
@@britishpatriot7386So they actively seek security out to discuss non security personnel who are late or absent?I've done security myself+would barely see the boss nevermind converse with them about non security personnel but i suppose it depends on setting say if you were store security or the like
Just because he sympathized with her, Doesn't mean he believed her. Those guys are very careful about calling their patients liars. He knew there was a possibility that she was just sick, or lying, but he's not going to make someone he thinks that came to him for help feel like he's the last person they should talk to.
Well if we ourselves travel around the planets we will definitely do what these beings are doing to study the beings of the planet they are visiting... it's quite logical and clear.
Sleep paralysis happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. Started about 20 years ago..I'm not really sure about any of the other stuff on the checklist. Any thoughts?
In mine i heard a whirling sound...the walls seemed todance..and then they walked through wall..it went on for a few months..i concentrated on my arm the last time..somehow i managed to gain control of my arm by concertaiting..i grabbed 1 by the neck ..i cant remember after but i never had any more experiances
Wrong maybe on details or some specific cases....Not wrong in general theory. Actually, even those cases marked by paranoia and suggestion may ultimately be included as real examples of...this phenomenon. I especially want to address the somewhat forced "perplexity" on the part of researchers about the "ghost" vs. "alien" narratives. When surrealistically fiddled with by otherworldly entities seemingly something a bit beyond mere flesh and blood, what exactly is SUPPOSED to be the difference between ghosts and aliens? Say we, as you have yourself articulately explored, we just decide to call all these things faeries or The Fae. Or the Djinn. Or elves or whatever. All that seems to mean is otherworldly entities, human and otherwise. I also want to intuit both the repeat types (Aryans, Greys, Reptilians, Insectoids) as evidence of something quite real and highly naturalistic/Darwinian AND the extreme and bizarre diversity of reported entities over time, which includes even outright Boschian or Lovecraftian forms, as a indicator that this is more than cultural programming. Not that persistent, universal symbolism in human myth and lore cannot be its own evidence. Hell, easily the most contested and dismissed of all the alien types, the so-called Reptilians, could as easily be seen as also THE most mythically, folklorically, maybe even paleotologically documented and referenced thing in worldwide human cultures flung far and wide across time and space. Who can fail to see all the foundational myths of dragons, serpents, or even "merfolk/fish gods" all seemingly similarly sourced and character-cast in disparate societies from profoundly ancient times? The evol psych types will claim it's some genetic memory of snakes and raptor birds from primordial fruit-eating tree-dwelling primate ancestors, but is that any less silly than actual predatory dinosaur monsters from negative hyperspace? And how exactly would any theory of evolution or neurological adaptation produce the jazz ensemble of weirdness from the tropologically non-conforming entity contact lore, be it UFO-associated or not. We forget that probably MOST entity contact even now has nothing ostensibly to do with UFOs, and only so much of it even seems to specifically indicate anything like advanced ETs from a planet "over there somewhere," though I do personally think some sort of technological aspect is objectively involved in at least some of these experiences and documented phenomena. A lot of this stuff on either side of the "alien" fence seems to rather heavily rely on some sort of Cartesian assumption about reality. An implicit assumption not seemingly born out by either common sense or cutting edge physics, and absolutely in defiance of pretty much all ancient mystical, philosophical, and religious comprehension (All is One). I absolutely love this channel. I enthusiastically cheer you on especially in these more Fortean areas. You clearly have a talent and possibly a calling for it really.
Its very strange that 99 percent of these encounters involve 2 grey little men. Happened to me. Next day could not even move my neck and had a scar on my arm. How can this be just sleep paralysis when there is physical proof? I still have the scar.
Sorry, it's not letting me edit, or I'd just add this to my comment(s) I don't suffer from SP, but with all the similar experiences, they can't all be making it up. I mean I could also make up one hell of story. Mainly b/c I've followed ufology for 40 yrs. Heard everyone's testimoney. It's quite easy to fabricate an abduction story. Unless some kind of proof is needed. It's easy to do and anyone could do it. SO I used to have mixed opinions on abductions. Not anymore. NOT since Richard Doty, I think thats his name. I hope I got it right. He was part of a military unit back in the day that preyed on feeble minded, mental prob. or whatever. He said they dressed up like aliens and pretended to abduct ppl. He said he wasn't proud of it....with a damn smile. Then went on to say, but that was the orders and I had to follow orders. btw, glad this is late lol. Halloween night, nothing happened here at all. QUITE BORING. Few kids trick or treating when usually we are swamped. So hubby sat in his area watching whatever, and I sat feet away, watching yt. Few of my fav. channels(paranormal) didn't do jack for Halloween. Not anything I was interested in.
I think Mack was open to non western ontological interpretations and this is greatly stigmatized in academia. He never said he knew what was happening, he said simply that he didn’t know what was happening, and that whatever it was, he didn’t think that psychology held the answer.
In my opinion (I am Not a doctor or medical practitioner) It’s not paranormal but it’s also not psychosis in a small percentage of the cases in my opinion. Something is going on. Whether anyone believes a person having these experiences or not.
I’ve suffered sleep paralysis on and off for most of my life. It SUCKS lol. That said, the experiences in this state are not the ones described by abduction experiencers. You KNOW you’re experiencing sleep paralysis while it’s occurring. You don’t lose time or have detailed encounters with other entities during an episode either. It’s mild hallucination, plays of shadow and light and feeling an eerie presence. It’s vague and creepy. The detailed encounters experiences of abduction report are far less nuanced. I do think that many cases of reported abduction are the result of creatively inclined ufo enthusiasts misidentifying dreams for encounters subconsciously or willfully. But I, for example, have read a LOT on this subject- I suffer from sleep paralysis- but I’ve never had an abduction encounter. So the skeptical attempt to lump all of this together as sleep paralysis is grossly inaccurate and stems from the researchers own presupposition that the abduction experience is false. Some of these people are truly experiencing something unusual. I think the boundaries of what we think of as consensus reality are far more blurred than we want to admit and that we only experience a sliver of reality through the narrow lens of our limited senses. If you READ some of John Mack’s work, you’ll quickly see that he doesn’t actually lean in to the reality of the stories he’s given from experiencers- he maintains a clinically impartial stance while being OPEN to there being some sort of reality to these individuals experiences. He was wrongfully flayed by his peers just for his willingness to listen to, record and report the phenomena described to him. I think as the reality of the UFO phenomenon inevitably becomes an established fact, and we learn more about the intelligence behind them we will find a that a lot of the indirmation that mainstream science has shat on and suppressed for decades is actually correct. The cutting edge of science has ALWAYS been poopooed by academia, whether it was the earth not being the center of the universe or the shape of the planet being spherical- I think a few decades from now humanity will have a VERY different view of itself and the cosmos. L..
I like your balanced approach to this topic. I know sleep paralysis is real and I am far from sure about the abduction experience. The reason is logistics. If millions are being unknowingly taken then there must be industrial scale engineering to make it happen. On any given night in North America thousands must be taken for the math to make sense. Is this really happening ever single night?
Hey all, I wanted to do something different and have this out for Halloween but I missed it by a day, it just took so long to edit. Anyway hopefully this is interesting, I put timestamps in if anyone wants to hop around as there are cases / some psychology spots in there too.
Just out of interest, the US seems to be flirting with the UAP topic at the moment, has that changed your perspective on it? / what do you think is going on with that?
I love these kinds of videos as well as the missing people ones. I have had too many unexplained events including one earlier today when I was streaming my son playing a video game. I had set my mic a few feet away from me to prevent reverb from the computers speakers. I checked in on the audio of the stream and I heard a stomping noise. It was just me and my son there. Then I went back after the live to hear it better and it sounds like something was tapping and grabbing my mic.
Put a video every week please. Love the channel and quality!!
🎃🙂👍
When you say "the US", you mean the US government and military, don't you? 😏 They've known about it for ages. It's only because of some leaks of USAF footage that Congress decided to hold a hearing...
i watched the congressional hearing last year on UAP’s. if you haven’t seen it you should watch, it’s on yt. top Air Force pilots testified & showed video from their fighter jets of a couple different types of UAP’s. one testified that a crashed UAP was recovered & there was a pilot - non human pilot 🤯😱 i couldn’t believe they admitted it! very cool though
I had a non-human encounter in the middle of the night around the age of 10, which didn't involve sleep paralysis. I often had insomnia so waking up in the middle of the night was not unusual. One night I glanced around my bedroom and saw a shadow at the foot of my bed. I sat up and stared at it for what felt like 15 minutes because I was baffled at what it could possibly be.
No matter how much my eyes adjusted to the darkness, it was darker than everything else in the room, but had the shape of a small humanoid with a head and shoulders.This frightened me, but I decided to keep watching while thinking of an escape plan. I eventually ran out of my bedroom and turned around to watch my doorway.
After a minute, I decided to look into my room and see if it's still there. Not only was it still at the foot of my bed, but it immediately began wobbling towards me with its head bobbing side to side a second after my eyes locked onto it. It took another second for me to register what was happening as it covered half the distance towards me, and I then bolted straight to my parents room.
My parents refused to wake up, so I sat on their bed watching the doorway for the next 30 minutes until falling asleep. From then on I spent most nights sleeping on the living room sofa, as I always felt safe there. Sometimes I would go back to my bedroom, but I'd often get terrible nightmares when sleeping in my bed.
A while after this event, I had a sleep paralysis incident where a large dog-like creature crawled on top of me in my bed and was sniffing my face until I broke free of the paralysis. Because of this and the repeating nightmares, I decided to stop sleeping in my bed altogether. This then prompted my mother to ask my father to try sleeping in my bedroom to see if anything would happen to him, and he had the same unsettling sleep paralysis experience the night after I had that experience.
That's crazy, what did your dad say about his sleep paralysis episode?
That's crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!did your dad finish in your mouth 😢
@@DissidentB He refused to repeat that experiment. A large dog-like creature crawled on top of him and was sniffing his face. The same thing happened to me the night prior in my bedroom, and my refusal to sleep in my bed prompted my mother to check if anything would happen to him if he slept in there. They then agreed that I should sleep in the living room from then on.
@@devriestownIt might seem normal to you but it wasn't. I'm sorry your dad did that to you.
@@mmstickI wonder if something strange happened in your room before your family moved in.
This is by far the scariest video you’ve made. Sleep paralysis is no joke it's so scary.
It's more annoying than scary.
Glad you are going on some adventures into the paranormal on this channel. I think that evaluating mysteries with wonder and rationality makes for great storytelling
I had an encounter when i was a drug addict earlier in my life. I laid down to rest and when i woke up i couldn't move. I could feel that someone or something was beside me in bed but i couldn't turn around to look becaue i was paralyzed. I could feel it's long claws scratching my back. I was in full panic mode and didn't know what to do when suddenly i heard a voice, an audible voice that was not just my thoughts and it just said: pray. I didn't know any prayers but for some reason i was able to recite the Lord's prayer without even reading the gospels before. And instantly this entity started screaming and said: do you think that will save you? And after that it was gone and i could move again. I was so glad that i started crying ans thanking God. I became a Christian and turned my life around and now i've been clean from opiates for about 8 years
I was on acid one time and had an out of body experience. Didn’t see any aliens or anything just my body laying on the couch while I walked around the room looking out the windows
I had episodes of sleep paralysis when I was a child. They did involve beings as well. There were different beings that I interacted with, and while the majority of the time I was in a dream like state, feeling like I was outside of my body, I saw things while I was awake as well. To me, it feels like something very real happened. Although as an adult I am still a very vivid and active dreamer and am prone to both hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations. I don't know if we will ever really know whether or not the beings were real, but the experiences and perceptions are real and have had a significant impact on me for my entire life. I feel traumatized by some exoeriences and more curious about others. There is so much research that still needs to be done in this area.
I agree, it' leaves us to Evaluate ourselves and trying to figure out how to do so in an unbiased way eludes us.
Excellent video! Sorting through the people who are somehow deluded, and genuine cases could drive you to drink.
I used to get sleep paralysis periodically as a kid and it would always be that there were non human beings just out of eyeshot, so I couldn't see them, but there were a few of them and they were all around me, but never came close enough to see. And they were injecting me with different things. A bit later in life I ended up staying for a bit in a room where everyone in my family has had some kind of ghost experience and in that room the sleep paralysis really came back. But in that room it was all a lot darker. One night I woke up paralysed and sat on my chest just staring at me was this piglet-goblin thing with grey skin and tusks and oozing, slimy skin. And it just stared at me with these black, evil eyes for what seemed like hours while I was frozen and couldn't make a sound and was terrified.
Your experiences sounds similar to mine. A lot of people say they have regular audio and visual hallucinations but for me when I used to get episodes (I don't anymore, which I'll get into in a minute) I could never see anything there, but just sensed the evil that was present in the room. That can be scarier then seeing it. I felt on one occasion while sleeping on my left side that there was something pushing down on my right hip.
Science says its the mind waking up when the body yet hasn't and your in a semi dream state which accounts for the Hallucinations. The major flaw in that is, if this were simply that, then like dreams, we should hear an even number of people having pleasant dreams, indifferent dreams aswel as the nightmarish ones. Sleep paralysis is always, without exception (other than lucid dreaming) always terrifying.
I am not really religious but during episodes of SP it somehow becomes almost instinctual to try shouting or screaming in your mind for Jesus or God almost instinctively, probably due to the sense of evil present. So anyway, after one particularly bad episode one night (and id been having at least two or three episodes a week, even a night for a short time) I came out of it finally able to move. I jumped up, and using my finger just drew a sign of a cross above the door and window in my bedroom and said allowed, "By the authority of God himself, the king of heaven, you cannot pass this threshold and enter this room ever again." And I meant it because at that point I was exhausted and these were not relenting.
As I said, I'm not religious or here pushing religion, but since the day I did that, I've never had another episode In my room. I stayed over a buddies for a week and had two episodes there but that's it. I can't say that would work for everyone, or even if that's the cause of the cure in my case. I have no doubt science would say it may well have stopped the episode of SP, but not to any real divine intervention but rather, the placebo effect.
I dont know, not will I speculate on which, I just know and can say hand on heart that doing that literally stopped the episodes overnight.
@@WelshChappie I know what you mean when you say it can be scarier not seeing them. The ones I used to have as a kid, I could almost see bits of them, like movement in my peripheral vision, but too distorted to make out properly, even when I tried to turn my eyes as much as I could. And I remember there was this awful battle in me where one half of me needed to see them, desperate to catch a glimpse of one of them so I could see what was doing this to me. But the other half of me desperately didn't want to see them because I could sense they were not people and I knew seeing them would be the scariest thing. I just didn't want it to be happening, but there was nothing I could do. I would be totally frozen and unable make any noise for help. It can feel like it's going on forever at the time.
Just as a sidenote, it's funny in the video that they mention marks on the body because as a kid my mum would say that I kept getting these round burn marks on my back, like someone had stubbed a cigarette out on me, and she couldn't tell what they were or where they were coming from. And I'd have no idea they were there until she said. To me it was weird that she kept questioning me about where they were coming from as I'd never seen them and couldn't feel them. And she thought I must know what they were as she said they were like burns.
@@judecieffe6769 Yeah I know, sometimes you try so hard to scream that you may manage to maybe make a kinda gurgling sound. I felt once like I was there 15/20 minutes. It was probably more 2 to 3 but felt much longer.
It would make sense that at least part of you wants to see them. If I stand in front of you aggressive and throw a punch, you can defend yourself against an attack or attacker you see coming. If I keep hitting you in blindsided attacks then you can't defend yourself against that. Similar principle applies I suppose, you cannot fight or defend against something you cannot see
@@judecieffe6769As to physical marks and stuff, I can't say I remember having any of that kinda thing but what I can say is that to this day, I can picture it now and feel the sensation, I felt that pressure push down on my right hip and it felt so real that to this day I am sure there was something in the room. Whether it was a physical thing or something that could manipulate aspects of things in our reality, I don't know.
Theres Many more than 3 dimensions, yet we can only see 3 dimensionally so the 4th, 5th and 6th dimensions and more are a reality all around us, we just don't have the ability to see past or into more than 3 of them. I have thought of this often, you could at this moment have something standing right in front of your face and it can see you, but you have no idea it's there if it was in the 4th dimension
I don't have any recollection of being "abducted" but I've experienced sleep paralysis on a few occasions where I woke up unable to move at all knowing someone or something was in the room with me. It's been years since this has happened but even to this day I catch myself looking in the corner of my room praying that it never happens again.
Were you sleeping on your back?
Happened to me when I was a kid. I had cried in my sleep or something because my eyes were crusted shut. I woke to an eerie feeling and thought there were werewolves in the vicinity; no idea why.
It happens to me a few times a year. Always hear something running around me. I'm not saying it's supernatural, I just don't like it.
I have sleep paralysis all the time. I’m vaguely aware of my surroundings, but not enough to discern anything useful. When I try to move myself awake, my muscles only work at about 10 percent capacity. I have learned to basically flop like a fish until I am awakened fully by the movement. There is never any daemon around, I just hate not being able to control my body.
I've had one experience similar to this. I felt my bed move or shake during the night like something very heavy had just pounced upon it. That jolted me awake. To my absolute horror, there appeared to be a huge, black shadowy dog or werewolf-like creature straddling my body. I was completely unable to move or scream for help. After a few seconds (that felt like several minutes), I remembered to call on the holy name of Jesus, and the entity finally left. It was utterly terrifying!
Never again before bed! Love this channel!
Awesome as always thanks your videos are amazing really appreciate all your hard work ❤
Thanks so much Mecah, appreciate you :)
This is one of my top five favorite “paranormal” videos. Well done! This was interesting af. 👍
Awesome thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed
I went through a phase of combined sleep paralysis and multiple awakenings, however there was never a supernatural element to the hallucinations. It tended to happen when I fell asleep on the sofa after Saturday lunch, and what I mostly experienced was waking up on the same sofa, just paralysed. Sometimes I'd just about manage to roll off it or make a sound, with a huge effort, but I'd then wake in the next cycle of multiple awakening back on the sofa. Sometimes when I woke for real I'd get very paranoid about whether I was really awake, or whether I'd "wake up" back on the sofa again any minute. I did have a sense of other people being around, and I'd try to call out ot them for help, but I never thought there was anything strange about them: since my parents were in the house, I just assumed it was them, just out of my field of view.
One time in the middle of one of these episodes, I rolled off the sofa and crawled across the hearthrug to where a copy of the TV Times (a UK weekly TV listings paper) was lying, and tried to memorise the lead article. It was all about a crash of an Airbus airliner during an air show display, complete with diagrams. When I finally woke up for real, I researched it, and no such crash has ever happened (there was a famous real one where the Airbus plowed into some trees on autopilot, but that was nothing like the one I saw). Eventually these experiences just stopped.
Many people report dreams where they are flying. Sleep paralysis with feeling there is someone in the room , and missing time, 'dissociation' , sometimes with injury occring while dissociated . are common in people with PTSD, especially from childhood abuse.
This one’s gunna be a banger 🔥
Hi Adam ❤ A new video!!! Yea!!!!❤❤❤
Bro the images you used are absolute bangers. The alien with the glass kf water looks amazing but terrifying in a simple kind of way. Idk who did these but they're amazing.
Woke up one night in December 2015, loud horrible whirring noise and the brightest light i ever saw was blasting through my blackout curtian window. It was the 2nd most terrifying moment of my life. Couldnt move anymore and my bedroom door that i couldnt turn and look at opened and i tried to pray and lost conciousness. Had to have been about 4 or 5 AM.
As a regular sufferer, that loud buzzing noise is my cue that paralysis is about to start. I've discovered that mentally saying The Lords Prayer at this early stage can stop the whole experience, whether religious or not. It does make me wonder what's causing it.
I’ve had a few episodes of sleep paralysis. The weirdest though was a dead man crouching in between the wall and ceiling but he jumped onto my chest. And I couldn’t breathe. I found that so strange
The fact that the validity of the alien abduction and military abduction programs continues to be questioned is wild.
Before my 15th birthday, I had night terrors every 2-3 a month. It started once or twice a year, but as I got older. They’ were frequent and scary awful. Odd part was my parents or older brother never woke up. Even though I made quite bit of noise and turned on lights. Worse was the feeling utterly hopeless,
Thank you Sir, for all your hard work! This Channel is one of the most awesomeness channels on RUclips!
I've had sleep paralysis for years, more often or not a creature will enter my room masquerading as a loved one and when they get close they drop the masquerade and sink their long fingers into my kidney area. I've had these experiences for so long that I'm no longer very afraid, mostly just furious at the audacity of them. I've also had an abduction experience but it's a long story to type out here. Life is weird.
Two things can be true at the same time. As a person who has experienced sleep paralysis since I was a child I get the cultural aspect to it. We were always told it was a witch on our chest when I was young. It can be a terrifying experience but it can also be broken. I learned to physically break out of mine. With that being said, I also have felt a presence in the room with me, once it sat on the edge of the bed. I know this because my body physically rolled toward the edge of the bed when it was depressed. I have also had my sleep paralysis witnessed by my wife. From her perspective it looks like I'm awake but screaming and fighting with someone. She says it is pretty scary to see. I don't know what it is but I don't think it's just my brain.
About 2 years ago inwoke up on the middlenof the night randomly, indidnt hear a noise or feel anything or anything but i saw a small robbed being in my room. It reminded me of the blue troll beings from Communion. I immediately fell back asleep. I have a long history of being woken up by weird noises, weird smells, being tapped or hit but only once or twice have i ever seen anything. I have never had like any kind of negative physical or mental health effects, except it is very hard for me to fall asleep and inrarely stay asleep long unless i medicate. I have slept with TV or radio or laptop or cell ohone playing some movies or shows all night. I also sleep with a fan on high all year long. I find that the movement of air and the lights make it easier to ignore non physical entities that might be bugging me.
I have more than enough experiences like these. Very serious very real. From when I was a kid up until my early thirties. At some point the experiences seemed to stop. I think once you are in the system they tend to keep you in the system. But maybe I have outlived my usefulness. Or I’ve graduated from Sleep Paralysis University.
This sounds almost exactly like the premise of an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the crew of the Enterprise are being experimented on by creepy aliens while they sleep. This episode aired at around the same time that the events of this video took place.
One of my favorite episodes
Alien abduction was a popular topic in American culture in the late 80s and early 90s
I have had a lifetime of weird events and abductions, but i have never suffered from sleep paralysis.
Great vid doc
I've gone through periods where I've suffered from sleep paralysis a ton, to the point I immediately recognize it, and have a strategy to get out of it (try to yell while trying as hard as you can to squeeze with your fingers and toes.) it is a really unpleasant experience, and I understand why people who experienced it once might think something totally insane happened.
A recounting of very fascinationg cases and well done altogether. As forDr. Mack, I truly don't know enough to state an opinion either way. I do tend to thin k he was a sincere individual and wanted to help his patients.
I've always found it strange that during sleep paralysis, we can't move a single muscle, yet we can move our eyes.
You simply can't explain the terror of sleep paralysis to someone who's never had it.
I had a sleep paralysis episode one time where it felt like a demon was trying to crawl through the couch I had been sleeping on, and into my back. This went on for several minutes. Was a long time ago and it freaked me out because I’d never heard of sleep paralysis before. Then recently I woke up, unable to move and hearing the sound of a chainsaw in my room. After about thirty seconds of being unable to move, I realized what was happening, though. So not so bad the second time around. Not saying that people don’t have genuine abduction experiences, just that I didn’t.
Amazing illustrations!
These videos are good enough for television.
Thanks for covering the work of John Mack.
In my experiences John was truly credible man within his work and the very reason he is not with us today. He had hidden proof that was shut down quickly. Truth is constantly covered up and nothing is as what it seems.. these experiences are very real.
After learning about, and experiencing sleep paralysis, as well as the waking hallucinations you can have before and after sleep, i'd go as far as saying that it's opened my eyes to how *so* many "paranormal" (be it ghosts or aliens) experiences happen around sleep. I think the aforementioned phenomena explain so *many* cases. I think most of us totally underestimate the dream-mind, and maybe even find the thought that they can hallucinate while awake to be more repulsive than the thought of the paranormal. It amazes me how many tales outright describe sleep paralysis without any awareness that it's a natural phenomena.
Id ask you all to look out for the commonality of these extraordinary experiences happening around sleep. It's strikingly overrepresented, from what I can see
Really enjoyed this video. Very insightful and measured. Thanks!
2nd! Lol. Thank you Adam i hope married life is treating you well 😁👍❤️❤️
Hey Lisa, we've been together for so long that life hasn't changed much but yeah loving it, we're just in the English countryside for a week hiking and stuff
@MissingVoidTV Aww lovely! Thank you for your reply, have a great weekend both of you 😁😁👍❤️❤️
Excellent video
Had it so much to the point i knew what was happening. I try to wiggle my toes and it brings me out of it. Its an awful thing to experience.
Same! I recognize it immediately. My strategy is to try as hard as I can to squeeze with my fingers and toes, while also trying to scream or yell. Works pretty well. I'm usually out of it within a minute.
Sleep paralysis is real. This notwithstanding so are some anomalous experiences, IMO. IE, Just because fake fur coats exist, doesn't mean there aren't real furs.
💯👍
I’ve had it once,
a being of a greyish white, female long hair NOT an old women, young and on top of me, long flowing hair, long legs, could feel the weight which obscured the face I wasn’t scared but it was a bit bizarre being molested by the entity, I could see through them the room everything, but couldn’t move, eventually the entity moved toward the window and gradually faded. Never had it since.
HELLO FRIENDS❤
-All i have to say is, u better work-
Sweeeet duuude, ty AdAm
I've experienced sleep paralysis all my life, though less now than when younger. I never had missing time or memory of ET's or some such. I don't know if sleep paralysis is part of something more than just ET/UFO phenomena but it would be interesting to find more info.
I work nights and my sleep has been off a long while. I've endured sleep paralysis and hypnogogic states which depending on you're interests or fears, can be aliens or ghouls. I've learned how to break out paralysis when it starts, you have to really master it. Don't sleep on your back either. Paralysis is basically your body trying to hit REM when the brain isn't ready.
Wow, thank you for sharing that.
Sleeping on your back must trigger a vulnerability in a lot of people.
I wonder what's going on there?
I've experienced some strange dreams while sleeping on my back. They seem so real.
@@anonone8954 when I break free of paralysis I use my neck to raise my head off the pillow. Sometimes depending on pillow/neck position I can tell when it's coming on and I'll start fighting it.
@ed4253 Yes, your brain understands what is going on, and you can avoid the nightmare.
I've suffered from regular episodes of sleep paralysis since I was a kid. My brain has now mostly replaced the creepy dark entities with my husband checking on me and trying to wake me up. It's not every time but it's definitely a relieving change even if he's not really there waking me up, it is very comforting. In real life he can't usually tell if I'm having an episode, even if he's awake right next to me
I have a very spiritual life, and am very connected to my animal and human family that have crossed over. I have video evidence and other people have seen things as they happen. This is my direction, why is it not possible that people could have experiences with beings from somewhere else. After all I've seen and if only 1% of what I've read is true, then anything is possible
I had an OBE..in 1978 in a Hotel Room Brighton UK.
3 Entries in my room. I wasn't asleep. .. looking down at the two single beds.
One went to strange my girlfriend . Absolutely true.
I I will never forget. Absolutely terrified after.
I’ve had one sleep paralysis hallucination it was my cousin Dustin who has autism but I hallucinated him in a sleep paralysis he started screaming when I noticed him. I believe it was my brains way of comprehending god watch over me in my sleep before when I was to young to picture what he looked like. So he showed up as loved family member but my rational brain freaked out when I noticed because I knew he was over 50 miles away in another town at 11 at night.
At this point I do think there is something outside of our understanding happening to some people. Some, I am sure, may fit into one of the other, more "normal and widely more accepted" explanation categories, I do nor think they all do. There seems to be a certain percentage where these "normal " explanations don't seem to fit....
💯 And I wouldn't believe Susan Blackmore further than I could throw her!
I've had many sleep paralysis episodes. I researched it a lot and read it's sometimes related to alien abduction. Personally, I've had terrifying audio hallucinations, shadow people, the hag, and an unknown entity violently shaking me, usually falling asleep, as opposed to waking up to paralysis. After I had learned how to relax while going through a sleep paralysis episode, the fear subsides and my state of mind becomes pleasantly comfortable. It's a gateway for lucid or very vivid dreams.
Nowadays, demons don't even show up anymore during sleep paralysis episodes
It's happening everywhere mate and all around the world very similar experiences long before TV, the internet which many are blaming it on if you get what I'm saying. It's real. Stay safe and stay strong make it difficult for them and fight it if possible.
@britishpatriot7386 i hear ya. I do believe in God, aliens, ghosts, clairvoyance, and the mysteries of parapsychology. I have had more than a few strange encounters. (Mainly Ghost sightings and haunting)
There's so much evidence of extraterrestrial beings. It could be government intentional misinformation in the attempt to deny their existence..... it's sad that some people don't tell their story in fear of being dismissed and labeled mad or crazy.
There's so many things out there that either we don't know or science can't explain.
I actually have been abducted, My Mom also, we both discussed. When l was 10.. I didn't know what Grey's were ...but we saw them! And no our eyes weren't closed. I'm 70 now.
Idk If I've been abducted if I have I don't recall but I've seen them (once that I am able to recall anyways) as a totally sane logical and very much awake adult. It changed my thinking even more so
This story is sooo scary, so scary to think people like these so-called professionals actually exist. Even scarier that you are publicising this ..
Go with love, and not fear, they treat you better that way, they like it when we're calm on the tables...
I don't recall ever experiencing sleep paralysis when I was a child, just as an adult. The most recent episode was several years ago.
I've had night terrors for most of my life.. up until my late 20's it happened several times per week. Now it happens only once or twice per month, but I am still afraid to sleep. While it feels supernatural, it never felt like any kind of abduction to me.
I also believe sleep paralysis/out of body experience is also your own soul/god watching your body while you sleep and can freak people out who don’t understand
Ironically im going to listen to this when I try to fall asleep 😮😂
❤️🔥👽🔥❤️
Irish in Liverpool 🔥
I've only heard of tony dodd thru richplanet.
I’ve had many experiences with sleep paralysis and have felt a presence during. I did experience hallucinations but attribute that to not being fully awake at the time. Although I do not believe it was anything extra terrestrial I found it ironic that the times the sleep paralysis was most often was in homes were there was other paranormal type experiences with everyone else in the house as well.
You should never go into hypnotic regression (as either subject or therapist) looking FOR a specific thing. You should make it much more open-ended, and maybe just restrict it to a specific time and place, like "what happened on November 1st up on the moor", etc etc.
As professor John E. Mack said:
"The difficulty for our society and for our mentality is, we have a kind of either/or mentality. It's either, literally physical; or it's in the spiritual other realm, the unseen realm. What we seem to have no place for-or we have lost the place for-are phenomena that can begin in the unseen realm, and cross over and manifest and show up in our literal physical world.
"So the simple answer would be: Yes, it's both. It's both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it's also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off."
Those 'learning processes' he talks about, is the mass brain-washing of the public to ridicule and have cognitive dissonance about the spiritual encounters they have. I touch on this in my video 'Away With The Fairies'. There is, whether we like it or not, overarching powers that have taken over/created the scientism we suffer now. Reducing our understanding of anything paranormal. John was a threat to that. Chris French, though he seems to represent a fair look at it, indeed is a gatekeeper.
I've experienced this many times. It's not so scary anymore though. 😊
This happened to me the same hour my moms boyfriend died of a heart attack, behind the wheel.
Sleep paralysis. I have the vaguest memory of this when young, under 8 or 10 years of age. When you mentioned early childhood trauma then it made sense. I have never experienced anything like the experiences others had.
Hallucinating. In my youth, while very ill, I saw a person duck into my room. I was on my parents’ bed and saw the foot and bottom of a robe as well as a wing. We were religious so that, perhaps, was a way to cope with my sickness. No other hallucinations have been experienced. Could that happen while under SP? Sure. We are complicated networks.
Interestingly, as a child I thought everyone else was a robot, but not me, of course. That was another way to cope with a domineering mother and a father gone a lot on military TDY. The will to survive is strong in our DNA? 😅
As a hypothesis, I cannot help but wonder if any such memory-wiping drug were used on those abducted, if one effect of the drug is an inability to accurately identify features of the creatures. Memory is very malleable, and it's possible the "grays" is just a placeholder the human mind defaults to as a result of the drug. The image is pervasive in pop culture, and those abducted with no memory would use it as a surrogate image for what they've forgotten. Just a thought.
Yep, happen to me a couple of times. It's awful.
Your claims that hypnosis will just pull "whatever you're looking for" is completely wrong.
Yep, agreed. And I notice the comment came from Chris French, who is a renowned sceptic of all things paranormal.
As someone that has regular bouts of sleep paralysis....there are no demons or shadow people. The best way to describe it is basically going into a trance so to speak. The worst thing about it is you can get 8hrs of "sleep" and wake up just as tired as you were when you went to bed.
The "Poll" did NOT ask people if they believed they were abducted! The questions in the poll asked specific aspects that they related to those who are abducted and made the inference based on the results that those who polled in the affirmative would be considered abducted. The poll results make false equivocations that are not causative or even correlative, it ignores the fact that there may be more than one source that may cause someone to attribute their affirmative answer to one or more of those questions.
Something I've noted about certain kinds of alleged paranormal encounters is that some of the symptoms overlap with Irukandji syndrome, as both can have periods of vomiting and an overwhelming, and seemingly unexplainable, sense of doom. Some Siezures and heart conditions can also bring this on.
What's needed to solve the question about alien abduction cases is that we need to know the full capabilities of the human brain first and foremost. If someone has an experience that science says is impossible for the brain to even come up with, let alone lie about, then these experiences need to be taken more seriously. Otherwise it's just likely caused by one of a host of possible medical conditions. It's quite a conundrum since how is humanity supposed to be able to identify something that we can't even conceive of? Oddly enough this very question was brought up independently by Neil Degrasse Tyson.
I work 3rd shift as well. Im leaving for work in 20 minutes...
It has screwed me up real bad. Sleep paralysis is part of it.
And my digestive system is schizo. I live at night, and then for 1 and 1/2 days of the week I try to flip back to normal to optimise my time with my family. Its not going good. I pass out from tiredness in the middle of the day, not able to focus or really tune in on any activity.
Too old for it, thats what I think. I have been at it for a bit over a year, I have a financial change coming hopefully in a couple of months and I can do something else.3rd shift differential is great according to pay rate, but it is a young person, or single persons game.
( I meant to leave this as a response to another persons comment. See? I even screwed that up. Lol.
The sleep paralysis episodes are almost guaranteed on my one night that I try to sleep in the normal pm cycle with my family. I dont see spirits, but I do sense an evil presence)
I thought that what i experienced growing up was sleep paralysis but thinking i had already woken up and spending about an hour or more thinking i am living my life only to wake up forreal was very strange to me. But experiencing actual sleep paralysis. And waking up in the complete light of day to be sensing uter dread then having something crawl up the side of my body slowing touching me til i got to my eyes and i don't remember anything after that but waking up. Pure nightmare daremare i wouldn't wish that terror uppn anyone
I learned a trick for those who have sleep paralysis. Wear a sleep mask. The guy who did that said his SP stopped forever after wearing one of those. He opens his eyes and it's just black, no shadow ppl in his room creeping closer, breathing on him, strangulation feeling, faceless black mass that is intelligent, old hag, etc...whatever your sleep paralysis are. If you wear a sleep mask over the eyes. It stops.
🎉 new vid!
My first sleep paralysis was kind of weird. Nothing crazy.
I was sleeping on my stomach with my arms by my side and my head looking left on my pillow. I woke up with my lamp dim and I couldn’t move. I felt a little panic but I didn’t really feel too scared. If maybe lasted 10 seconds before I passed out and woke up curious
I had an experience once where I "woke up," and something was on my chest. Lots of hands and I was trying to push them away and there were more and more hands as I desperately tried to push this thing off my chest.
I couldn't see anything and after a time I REALLY woke myself up. Sweaty and breathing hard.
I went to another room and laid on the floor and eventually went to sleep,
Trying to figure out just what had happened. It was a bad thing. I knew that.
I had sleep paralysis on one other occasion but no monsters. Just couldn't move. Eventually gave up and woke up in the morning okay.
No monster that time.
I woke up and sat up and saw something small in my room then I was knocked out. I also saw something fly low over my house. It was beautiful. Must be related
I’ve never had sleep paralysis and wasn’t paralyzed when this happened. The incidents occurred 18 months apart
Do Employers go+discuss their feeling to security about non security personnel? seems odd
They do where I'm a security officer
@@britishpatriot7386So they actively seek security out to discuss non security personnel who are late or absent?I've done security myself+would barely see the boss nevermind converse with them about non security personnel but i suppose it depends on setting say if you were store security or the like
Just because he sympathized with her,
Doesn't mean he believed her.
Those guys are very careful about calling their patients liars.
He knew there was a possibility that she was just sick, or lying, but he's not going to make someone he thinks that came to him for help feel like he's the last person they should talk to.
❤❤🎃🎃awesome void❤❤
Well if we ourselves travel around the planets we will definitely do what these beings are doing to study the beings of the planet they are visiting... it's quite logical and clear.
Sleep paralysis happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. Started about 20 years ago..I'm not really sure about any of the other stuff on the checklist. Any thoughts?
Perfect time
Human kindness is often used against us but it doesn’t mean we should lose our humanity 😊
I believe the appropriate phrase is "Ma-hockey!"
24:10 hear me out bros
In mine i heard a whirling sound...the walls seemed todance..and then they walked through wall..it went on for a few months..i concentrated on my arm the last time..somehow i managed to gain control of my arm by concertaiting..i grabbed 1 by the neck ..i cant remember after but i never had any more experiances
Wrong maybe on details or some specific cases....Not wrong in general theory. Actually, even those cases marked by paranoia and suggestion may ultimately be included as real examples of...this phenomenon. I especially want to address the somewhat forced "perplexity" on the part of researchers about the "ghost" vs. "alien" narratives. When surrealistically fiddled with by otherworldly entities seemingly something a bit beyond mere flesh and blood, what exactly is SUPPOSED to be the difference between ghosts and aliens? Say we, as you have yourself articulately explored, we just decide to call all these things faeries or The Fae. Or the Djinn. Or elves or whatever. All that seems to mean is otherworldly entities, human and otherwise. I also want to intuit both the repeat types (Aryans, Greys, Reptilians, Insectoids) as evidence of something quite real and highly naturalistic/Darwinian AND the extreme and bizarre diversity of reported entities over time, which includes even outright Boschian or Lovecraftian forms, as a indicator that this is more than cultural programming. Not that persistent, universal symbolism in human myth and lore cannot be its own evidence. Hell, easily the most contested and dismissed of all the alien types, the so-called Reptilians, could as easily be seen as also THE most mythically, folklorically, maybe even paleotologically documented and referenced thing in worldwide human cultures flung far and wide across time and space. Who can fail to see all the foundational myths of dragons, serpents, or even "merfolk/fish gods" all seemingly similarly sourced and character-cast in disparate societies from profoundly ancient times? The evol psych types will claim it's some genetic memory of snakes and raptor birds from primordial fruit-eating tree-dwelling primate ancestors, but is that any less silly than actual predatory dinosaur monsters from negative hyperspace? And how exactly would any theory of evolution or neurological adaptation produce the jazz ensemble of weirdness from the tropologically non-conforming entity contact lore, be it UFO-associated or not. We forget that probably MOST entity contact even now has nothing ostensibly to do with UFOs, and only so much of it even seems to specifically indicate anything like advanced ETs from a planet "over there somewhere," though I do personally think some sort of technological aspect is objectively involved in at least some of these experiences and documented phenomena. A lot of this stuff on either side of the "alien" fence seems to rather heavily rely on some sort of Cartesian assumption about reality. An implicit assumption not seemingly born out by either common sense or cutting edge physics, and absolutely in defiance of pretty much all ancient mystical, philosophical, and religious comprehension (All is One). I absolutely love this channel. I enthusiastically cheer you on especially in these more Fortean areas. You clearly have a talent and possibly a calling for it really.
Its very strange that 99 percent of these encounters involve 2 grey little men. Happened to me. Next day could not even move my neck and had a scar on my arm. How can this be just sleep paralysis when there is physical proof? I still have the scar.
Sorry, it's not letting me edit, or I'd just add this to my comment(s) I don't suffer from SP, but with all the similar experiences, they can't all be making it up. I mean I could also make up one hell of story. Mainly b/c I've followed ufology for 40 yrs. Heard everyone's testimoney. It's quite easy to fabricate an abduction story. Unless some kind of proof is needed. It's easy to do and anyone could do it. SO I used to have mixed opinions on abductions. Not anymore. NOT since Richard Doty, I think thats his name. I hope I got it right. He was part of a military unit back in the day that preyed on feeble minded, mental prob. or whatever. He said they dressed up like aliens and pretended to abduct ppl. He said he wasn't proud of it....with a damn smile. Then went on to say, but that was the orders and I had to follow orders.
btw, glad this is late lol. Halloween night, nothing happened here at all. QUITE BORING. Few kids trick or treating when usually we are swamped. So hubby sat in his area watching whatever, and I sat feet away, watching yt. Few of my fav. channels(paranormal) didn't do jack for Halloween. Not anything I was interested in.
I think Mack was open to non western ontological interpretations and this is greatly stigmatized in academia. He never said he knew what was happening, he said simply that he didn’t know what was happening, and that whatever it was, he didn’t think that psychology held the answer.
In my opinion (I am
Not a doctor or medical practitioner) It’s not paranormal but it’s also not psychosis in a small percentage of the cases in my opinion.
Something is going on.
Whether anyone believes a person having these experiences or not.
I’ve suffered sleep paralysis on and off for most of my life. It SUCKS lol. That said, the experiences in this state are not the ones described by abduction experiencers. You KNOW you’re experiencing sleep paralysis while it’s occurring. You don’t lose time or have detailed encounters with other entities during an episode either. It’s mild hallucination, plays of shadow and light and feeling an eerie presence. It’s vague and creepy. The detailed encounters experiences of abduction report are far less nuanced. I do think that many cases of reported abduction are the result of creatively inclined ufo enthusiasts misidentifying dreams for encounters subconsciously or willfully. But I, for example, have read a LOT on this subject- I suffer from sleep paralysis- but I’ve never had an abduction encounter. So the skeptical attempt to lump all of this together as sleep paralysis is grossly inaccurate and stems from the researchers own presupposition that the abduction experience is false. Some of these people are truly experiencing something unusual. I think the boundaries of what we think of as consensus reality are far more blurred than we want to admit and that we only experience a sliver of reality through the narrow lens of our limited senses.
If you READ some of John Mack’s work, you’ll quickly see that he doesn’t actually lean in to the reality of the stories he’s given from experiencers- he maintains a clinically impartial stance while being OPEN to there being some sort of reality to these individuals experiences. He was wrongfully flayed by his peers just for his willingness to listen to, record and report the phenomena described to him.
I think as the reality of the UFO phenomenon inevitably becomes an established fact, and we learn more about the intelligence behind them we will find a that a lot of the indirmation that mainstream science has shat on and suppressed for decades is actually correct. The cutting edge of science has ALWAYS been poopooed by academia, whether it was the earth not being the center of the universe or the shape of the planet being spherical- I think a few decades from now humanity will have a VERY different view of itself and the cosmos. L..
Had anyone had the experience of being waken to flood lights in their bedroom, and being abducted?
I like your balanced approach to this topic. I know sleep paralysis is real and I am far from sure about the abduction experience. The reason is logistics. If millions are being unknowingly taken then there must be industrial scale engineering to make it happen. On any given night in North America thousands must be taken for the math to make sense. Is this really happening ever single night?
Uh oh. I have all 5 of them.
I've had 7 of those questions of yours lol. is that bad ???
