I Thought I Was Possessed - Don't Open Your Eyes

(Los Angeles)

I must've dozed off that night. When I opened my eyes I felt tired and heavy. It seemed that I woke up in the middle of the night. I wanted to get up but I didn't; I don't know why but I just didn't. I felt heavy. There was a tugging at my blanket, I was terrified but couldn't turn in any way to see what it could've been. I tugged back with the little strength I had and it just pulled harder.

All of the sudden the closet started to shake; I was frozen, paralyzed. I couldn't move, or scream out for help. It ran from under my bed into the doorway. It was skin colored and ran on all fours. It even had horns I think.

It was gone, but the fan started turning faster and faster, I struggled to move but couldn't budge or talk. I heard a freight train sound and cars zooming fast with horns past my window. My head was ringing and my body was stiff.

I squeezed my eyes shut and when I opened them my room was back to normal, and as I woke up I yelled "help." I ran to my moms room. She has had sleep paralysis as well, and I know that it is hereditary. I never knew what she was talking about until that day.

Ever since then I've had them occasionally. Each time I am more aware that I'm having SP, but that doesn't change the demonic hallucinations. I recently had one where my boyfriend, who was sleeping next to me, had black demonic eyes and kept staring at me and smiling. I tried to ask him to wake me up through my dream but he just kept staring.

The best advice I could give is if you know when you're having SP, close your eyes and tense up your body tightly. Until you wake up, and don't let it trick you. The more you see the longer it lasts. Don't open your eyes.
