I laid down to get some sleep when with my eyes closed I could see a dark shadow standing by my bed I tried to ignore it but then it touches my forehead it felt like electricity then it leaned over and asked me if he woke me up the only thing that came to mind was say the our father it must be very scared of our father Jesus Christ because it disappeared the second I started praying

Were you high at the time?

Must have been some good stuff...

Actually, this is a relatively common occurrence. There are people researching this and related experiences.

Look up symptoms of sleep paralysis and waking dreams.

It isn't magic or spirits, it's a sort of a side effect of the way that our brains work.

I've experienced sleep paralysis too & it's usually demonic related...I've had them on very rare occassions & a long time ago but it's very real. Sleep paralysis often comes with bad dreams or images of scary **** & although a person is semi conscious during it they can not move. When it happened to me i had to fight it & I was fighting something until I broke out of it.
If I ever get horrific dreams with demons or any supernatural force I fight it & beat it then wakeup

I agree with you. However in some of my experiences I was fully awake and not lying in bed. I don't take drugs, nor anything to numb my mind. I have had sleep paralysis happen to me, but this was on an entire different level. They were demons attacking me. They are very afraid of the word God or Jesus, and you have to fight them, not fear them. Fear makes them strong as they feed on vulnerability.

that is a sleep disorder
by that time probably u were half asleep and half awake
a combination of those 2 with a disorder of brain instructions.

the praying part is your instincts, it happened the same way to me. and it is known that person automatically thinks about God etc at those moments as a saviour.

nothing to worry about
i had it 1000s of times, thousands!
after searching and finding the scientific reasons of it, it wont happen again or happen less..

i still have it sometimes
i just think "go awayyy!! i know what it is." and it finishes.


byw, i do not know what the health factors were for the thread opener
but it happens more when u are detoxing after a "party hard" time.

and also depression times, when ur mind is full and stretched with problems, thinking too much.. stress.. no need to mention these common and well-known factors.

if it happens a few times, you get to feel the symptoms while u are about to fall asleep. then.. if u are sleeping face down, try to lay on ur right side, not left side - avoid putting pressure on your hearth. it may help.

Oh FFS, these scientists always come up with a way to spoil a good ghost story.

I once had a friend sleep over, in my old house which was quiet creepy. I gave him the spare room at the back. In the morning as I was awaking I saw my friend sitting in an armchair, facing my room, as my door was slightly opened. He was scared and told me that he had a strange experience. Apparently when he went to bed, he couldn't fall asleep immediately, and started hearing crackling sounds in the middle of the room. He stated that out of nowhere these ball like objects appeared and were glowing bright white, green, and purple in colours. I assume he saw orbs. At first he was scared thinking that the orbs would harm him, then he gained courage to leave the room. He wanted to wake me up and show me what's in the back room. When he came to my room, as my door was slightly opened, he said my whole room was illuminated with purple light, and while I was sleeping like a baby, a mass of purple light, like a blanket was floating above me. He decided to wait till the morning, and sat in the chair waiting for me to wake up. He told me that he is scared to sleep over, and I told him that I had the best sleep ever. A lot of strange things happened in that house, I even saw apparitions on a few occasions. Mainly a man in his 60's with ginger hair, wearing a chequer shirt and brown trousers, passing by from the back room, and would disappear next to the laundry. When I asked some of my neighbours, the description matched a guy that lived and died in that house many years before I bought it. All I can say that there are a lot of unexplained things, and science may not be able to provide all answers.

holy house :o
or holy you..

very interesting and creepy..

did u carry on living there?
did you not feel scared?

Shoot first...ask questions later...

and tend to those sheets first thing in the morning...those fitted sheets are a pain in the ***, sometimes.

I moved out from that house. It took me a year. I tried to start repairing things around the house, only to realise the more I tried to fix things, the more it was resisting and breaking more. I spent heaps of money, to realise it's going down the drain. I left, selling it away. I feel sorry for the next people who bought it, I did it through a real estate agency, so I don't know who the new owners are. Ever since I moved out, it's like it took me about six months to start picking up, and enjoying life. Today I live in a beautiful 2 bedroom villa apartment, full of natural light, and it really feels good, I can feel the positive energy. The old house was always dark and dull inside, no matter what I tried. Oh well.....it is in the past, and I ain't looking back.

what a story!!
wowwww !!

what a shame that it ended at the 1st episode :'(

I have experienced many unusual happening in my home. I saw an old woman come through my bedroom window with a blanket in her hand she passed by my bed and across the hallway into my grandson's room ( his door was closed and he was asleep )my grandson moaned ,like a child will do when they want you to leave them alone. I guess she was covering him with her blanket

i got gooseflesh :s
