Two Sleep Paralysis Experiences In The Same Night

by Aliyah
(Michigan)

It was a normal day and this was the first time it ever happened to me. I didn't do anything out of routine. I went to sleep that night at about 10:30 and was very tired. Around the middle of the night I suddenly felt conscious and awoke. I than realized I could not move my body.

My breathing got heavier and I started to panic, I was already terrified, however on top of that I saw a black ghost-like creature sitting on the edge of the bed, close to me. It slowly went away and so did my sleep paralysis.

I was so frightened that night and curious. I then fell asleep once again. In that same night I woke up again to the same frightening experience!

Can you believe it? I had to go through that terror all over again in the same night, and I saw that same dark figure I saw before!

 Same thing happend to me
by: Charlie

Same thing happend to me, I seen this black figure standing at the door and all of a sudden I was under my bed being throw around in there (almost like hitting my back on the floor and hitting my front on the bottom of my bed). I was yelling for help and it felt so real. It lasted for about a minute then I woke up on the floor. After that I called my grandma in the middle of the night (shes a pastor) and asked her to pray for me. It worked, it stopped for about a year until today, where it happend it twice, but it just regular, someones holding me down and i'm yelling for my life kinda thing.
