Scratches And Bites
Sleep Paralysis Or A Demon?
This happened early in March or April, but I had taken a new sleeping pill, but it didn't seem to be working
So at 11:30 I got up, used the restroom, and came back to my bed
The moment I lay on my back I had left this world
I couldn't not move, breathe or speak
Commonly known as sleep paralysis
My jaw was locked as I tried to scream
In my left ear was a horrible roaring, like some creature out of a movie. In my mind I saw myself dancing with a man, a man in clothes from another century as was my gown
When that image faded I saw an ancient cathedral, with tolling bells in the distance
Eventually I was able to open my eyes; it was as if my body has been released
But to my horror at the foot of my bed was a shadow. Thick and black, seeming to have no shape, yet I saw a bald head, large dark eyes of obsidian and a leering grin
He/it just stood there and I closed my eyes for only a second but when I opened them again he was gone
I looked at the clock
Midnight
Only a half-hour had passed yet it felt like seconds
I was so scared I could only lie there under the covers, not daring to look back at the foot of my bed. I don't know what he/it was, or why I've experienced sleep paralysis all my life, when the average person only has it about twice in their life
I've researched the topic many times, from the legends of a witch sitting on your chest, to the incubus that like to stalk the women at night. Being an insomniac I have NEVER fallen asleep as fast as I did that night
I want to know more about what I saw and experienced.
