To Queen Victoria:
I actually just found out about this
forum. I get the scratches, but I don't
remember anyone touching before I get
them. I never know where they come from
or how I got them, but sometimes I'd get
2-4 on one night, sometimes at different
places on my body. I sometimes feel
presences in places and I'm always
expecting to see something at certain
spots. There are other things I
experience. The sleep paralysis I
experience, but I don't think I've
experienced the out of body experience.
Another thing I experience is knowing when
people have died or that they will die.
This started when I was about 11 or 12 in
secondary school (which will be middle
school in the States). I just started
saying, "what if this person's dad died
and this person and this person" within a
year, all 3 dads died. I was so afraid
and prayed that it didn't happen because i
said it. I also said that about another
student and they later died, though they
were sickly. since then, I have stopped
saying what ifs and if I do, I spend time
praying and begging God to keep them safe.
I just figured maybe I am warned so that
I can pray for them. Another thing is I
know when people close to me or (my
friends relatives) have died. I remember
one saturday when I decided to not go near
the phone whenever it would ring, because
I knew someone had died but I didn't know
who and I didn't want to be the first to
hear who. I remember when my cousin in
Nigeria died, I was awake at like 2a.m.
(I live in the States) and I just burst
out crying, really really crying in my
room, for no reason for about 5/6mins
straight and then stopped and went to
sleep. I was sooo sad and the next day I
found out that she had died, just fell
down and died and it was at the same time
I just burst out crying.
So now, I dread feeling sad and always
stop myself from just crying...instead I
pray and pray until I feel better. I am
so afraid of instances, when what ifs come
into my head; or when i start feeling
strange; or when someone keeps popping
into my head. I hear noises too in my apt
and I try to convince myself its just
regular building noises. I just moved to
a new apt and thought I was getting a good
vibe from the place, but today, as I slept
with my head facing west, I felt something
climb over me, not the regular paralysis,
and the funny thing is that, I knew it was
coming before it climbed over me. I woke
up and searched around couldn't find
anything, then few mins/secs later I heard
something fall onto the door and a door
close. I've looked around and I can't
find anything...
Because of these sleep paralysis and
something moving over my body, I pray
every night and actually sleep with my
Bible (making sure that it is touching me
at all times). That is the best I can
offer you. Pray and sleep with something
Godly.
There are good things that I experience
too, I know when I will get something, a
job, pass a test, an amount of money,
sometimes I know the exact amount or my
passing grade.
I am not sure what is going on with me,
but I feel that there is more. I feel i am
unconsciously experiencing things, and I
either can't remember or block them out of
my mind. I feel that more will come as
soon as I open up and really look, but I'm
afraid of looking by myself, lol....
One good thing that has come from all this
at least is that it helped push me closer
to God.....

i am not good in english,
but i will try to make my story in
detail.. here it goes...
my problem started when i was a kid..
as i remember, my 1st experience... while
sleeping.. i felt my spirit was outside my
body, i saw my room.. i saw myself
sleeping beside my younger sister.. when
i woke up, all is same position..
sometimes, i thought my eyes is still
open, and heard footsteps outside my door,
then i heard someone was knocking (3 loud
knocks), i open my eyes, get up my bed,
open the door and there was no one.. at
that time, i just smile and say.. oh i was
dreaming! so embarrassed!..
when i was 1st year high school.. one
night, i can't sleep... i just close my
eyes... maybe 30 minutes has past, i heard
someone was laughing.. i open my eyes.. no
one was there.. so i thought, maybe there
was someone who passed infront our house..
i closed again my eyes, i heard it again,
it felt very near to my ears.. and cold..
i get up to bed, i checked inside our
house.. there was no one.. then i
thought.. maybe i fall to sleep, that i
was just dreaming.. i went to bed again..
i closed my eyes.. just a seconds had
past... i heard it again.. but i decided
not to open my eyes.. the laughed was
getting louder and louder.. then i saw a
man, a pretty face man & i got scared
when i saw he has 2 horn on his head! i
tried to open my eyes, but i can't.. my
whole body got numb!.. i tried to shout,
but i can't.. then i succeeded moving my
right foot, then my eyes open... i was so
confused.. am i dreaming? did i fall to
sleep?
after that experience... any places,
anywhere i go.. every time i fall asleep,
and heard 3x knocking at the door... i
know i have a visitor... people that i
don't know.. (i guess their dead people)..
they were watching me... every OBE
experience gets worst and worst.. they
trying to pull my spirit outside my body.
sometimes they sing my favorite song!
(weird huh!). this February 2007, the
episode was, a shadow man sitting beside
me, he was singing while touching my left
cheek.. i saw everything in my room, i saw
my computer was still on.. my green light
lamp shade was still on, i saw my
partner.. she moved beside me, i felt my
partner's body at my back.. i try to
move... but i can't... i try and try until
i succeeded moving my right foot... then i
saw everything the same... my girlfriend
was shocked, asked me what happened?,, i
asked my partner did she move, she said
yes.. then she noticed my left cheek... i
had a scratch... scratch looks like came
from a cat! no blood.. very red scratch
that has no blood... (its hard to
describe, poor english).
i know there's something wrong with me..
but im still hoping there's a medication
for this...
im 31 years old and still having OBE
experience... the quack doctor told me, i
have a gift.. he said, every time my eyes
close... my 3rd eye open.. he didn't give
me an explaination... he just told me, i
should talk to a psychic... to get help,
and learn to handle this, he also told me,
that it has no cure.. the best way is to
accept the power that was given to me..
i hope someone can help me... i am
scared... what if.. i have no more
strenght to fight this... what will happen
to me...

Funny that I found this thread. I always
felt so alone with this problem because
not many other people I know have had
this. My doctors, therapist, and
psychiatrist have all dismissed this
problem and haven't tried to treat it.
It started when I was about 8 years old.
I'd wake up in the middle of the night
completely paralyzed. I'd always hear a
buzzing sound, and I'd usually see lights.
I almost always felt as if there was some
menacing presence nearby, something evil
near. I never knew what was causing this.
My dog used to jump on me and start
licking me when I had this problem. I have
absolutely no idea how she even knew I was
having it, considering I didn't sweat, I
didn't scream, my breathing didn't change,
and my heart rate didn't change (despite
being panicked).
It eventually got to the point where I'd
have it every single night multiple times.
I would be absolutely horror stricken to
the point where I'd be scared to go to
sleep.
As I got older, the experiences got more
and more weird, but at the same time, I
became less and less afraid of these
experiences. At about age 15, it changed
from being a every-night occurrence to a
seasonal thing (i.e. I'd go about 3-9
weeks without a single occurance then go a
few weeks with it happening nearly every
night).
From age 18 till about 20, it was very
minimal. I'd typically have a random two
or three day period of having these
problems maybe once per night, and then
not have it again for months.
Over the last few months (I'm still 20
years old) it's been getting more and more
weird. One time I had it last for over 10
minutes (it usually lasts 10 seconds to 2
minutes). Last night, I actually hard
talking while paralyzed, which has never
happened before (by this I mean talking
that isn't really going on. I usually
sleep with my TV on, but this talking
wasn't coming from the TV or any other
real source). It's getting to the point
where it's really interfering with my
sleep again. I'm going to talk to my
therapist about this problem.

Woozie, your experiences are very similar
to the way mine used to be. I haven't ever
heard of another person hearing the loud
buzzing sound before. Mine started around
8th grade but stopped when I was in
college. I occasionally get them every now
and then but just pray like crazy. I have
heard voices during these episodes as
well. I have also had those out of body
like experiences.
I did go to a sleep clinic and had three
different sleep studies. I was officially
dx with mild narcolepsy. I go immediately
into REM sleep (within 15 minutes or so)
and fall asleep within 5 minutes. I don't
really hit stage 2 and 3 sleep or at least
a very small percentage of my sleep is in
those two stages. That is the reason why
the doctors state that I have the crazy
sleep paralysis. I am actually half asleep
and half awake when I go into REM sleep,
which is why the dreams seem so real. Does
this make sense?
I honestly still think that there is more
to it. I did very similar things as Nadra
did as well. It would freak me out and
again, I would pray like crazy. I haven't
really thought about those episodes for a
few years now because I really haven't had
those experiences lately.

I've had the out-of-body experience during
sleep paralysis a few times, but never
really thought too much of it.

i also had that experience... there was
one time.. i don't know if im just
imagining things or im just paranoid...
i'm at the top of the mountain... i saw
many people below me.... then there was a
man holding a stick like i saw at the
movies, moses stick ( i forgot what its
called). he raises the stick and the sand
raises... like in the story when moses
divide the sea in the middle so that the
people can pass through.. the different
was, when he put down the stick, the sand
ate all the people.. they died... then i
wake up.. that was really weird.. after a
few days.. there was a global news,
tsunami.. and many people died..

I Had Another Scary Sp Experience......i'm Terrified! Posted: 10-24-07 16:24pm
Hi there. I just began reading the posts
here and I am amazed at what I see here.
It makes me feel better to know that I am
not crazy or alone -- yet i dont want this
thing! I am in my 30s already and this
has been happening since i was 19 or so.
I have had my body flow out a few times
-->> once in a very violent "shaking
way -- with like a static loud buzzing
sound. That was back in my college dorm
in NY.
Now its more the SP moments I get -- like
the one I had 4 nights ago) where I saw
and felt a "body" over me... a man or some
evil being.....ahhh! and then I cant even
move or scream.
I find myself reading the bible more
often now hoping this will help. I have
read all about this "disorder" yet I
believe there is more to it than we
think. Who knows when they will get more
done to help us -- if ever??
I think there is something evil about
it...because almost each time it happens
-- there is something over my body...and
I sense like it has a sexual / evil
interest in me....i am terrifed!!!
Weird thing was that I even heard it in
the bathroom outside our bedroom....and I
knew it was coming into the room before it
even happened! pretty creepy -- don't u
think.....its like I sensed it ! I saw
myself in the bed....wearing the same
clothes and yet, I was powerless....unable
to do nothing.
I am not sure what it wants....and why it
is that it only bothers some of us - bt
not all. Anyway.....I feel like its evil,
male. powerful, and its sexual interest
is driivng me to the point where i dont
want to fall asleep. Not even my hubby
can help me --- cause u cant even make a
sound
Good luck to all of u who deal with this "
gift" --> yeah right.
I was reading the post by Queen victoria
and I totally feel bad about those
events.. No one should have to go through
all that.....without true help! I AM SO
SORRY THAT NO ONE HAS HELPED U MUCH. WHAT
A SHAME.
Thanks 4 letting me vent.....I cant tell
just anyone this or they will think I am
losing it! :

I have experienced sleep
paralysis many times. It is a sleep
disorder. There is a chemical in your
brain that does paralyze you whenever you
go to sleep and this is a normal
every-night experience for most people
during the REM period of sleep (it is the
same chemical that prevents you from
sleepwalking while you are dreaming).
From what I have read, sleep paralysis
occurs basically when your REM sleep and
chemicals in your brain don't sync up or
turn on and off at the same time. I know
it produces alot of anxiety because you
are not in control of your body. What
works best for me is as soon as I feel one
of these episodes coming on (the first
sign for me is this ringing in my ears), I
try to relax myself and think reassuring
thoughts (i.e. this is just a dream, I'm
safe) and they I try very hard to move my
arms or legs because as soon as I can move
them the episode stops. It's really hard
to do at first but once you realize that
this is what's happening, it gets easier
every time. These episodes happen to me
for 2 main reasons - one being medication
(the first episode I had, I was recovering
from surgery and was on narcotic pain
killers) and laying on my back- these
episodes have NEVER happened while I am
laying on my side.
I've tried sleeping on my side and it
doesn't help. The other morning I was
laying in bed.. on my side.. and all of a
sudden I hear a loud buzzing sound, I felt
like something was holding me down..
pining me down.. trying to get me to my
back. I tried to fight it but failed..
Lately I've been sleeping on my stomach..
I'm not sure if its helping since I don't
get sleep paralysis everynight. I get it
once a month or so.

Do Not Be Afraid Posted: 11-19-07 00:04am
There is so much fear conveyed in some of
these posts. Some of the fear is a
natural response to what is happening with
the body and nervous system.
Some is fear of the unkown and
unexplained.
Some is fueled by fascination.
If it is really true that you have had
enough of these things occurring try to
relax the fascination. Then understand
that there is automatic fear and this will
pass.
Realtive to the fear of the unexplained.
Science and medicine can only explain so
much.
I believe that part of why this happens
most often to teenagers and those in there
twenties is that during this time there is
a natural developmental awakeing of a an
etheric and pshychic conection to the
world.
It can also corrispond to a the beginning
of a spiritual crisis in which your
vibration is being lifted higher then
everything around us so you end up
attracting all kinds of etheric energies.
I believe this is where all the lore about
being tempted by demonic energies comes
from. The key here is to use whatever
connection to the divine you have and make
a commitment to light and love, some of
this is testing that will make you
stronger.
It is easy to become fascinated but there
are all kinds of things to become
fascinated with, particularly in this very
materialistic and anti-psychic culture
most of us live in.
Ultimately this is a gift that wakes you
up to what is greater.
Love is the most important thing!!! Affirm
love. Prayer is good but don't buy into
conventional religious belief and dogma.
I have passed through these kinds of
events myself.

it was so strange the other morning, i was
sleeping pretty sound, my husband had just
woke me up to say goodbye he was going to
work, and i was sleeping on my side. for
some reason, something kept almost forcing
me to sleep on my back. i would be on my
side, and actually feel myself going back.
it's never happened to me before. is it
strange to anyone? or maybe it's just a
fluke? i'm not sure but it made me
nervous. i got up and stayed up that day

Hi Guys, For as long as i can remember me
and my older brother have been suffering
from Evil Nightmare's, we get attacked and
attacked over and over again, i myself
have had this strange feeling of being
awake and i cant move, and that same
buzzing sound that feels like your brain
is going to explode, the fear, etc. But
while this was happening i Said the words
- Reveal yourself and face me - A spirit
did apear, he said i can speak, i told him
In The Name of Jesus Christ Go away, he
laughf at me, Then i said, I pleed the
blood of Jesus Christ over me, and i woke
up.. me and my brother have exactly the
same nightmare's.. i doesnt stop.. I am
sure it has something to do with My
parents when they were younger, or so i
was told by one of these spirits one
night,,i wanto Fight them!! Please tell me
how.

weird this is and i thought i was the
only1 who got this sleep disorder ive had
it about 6 times in the last twelve months
and i must admit its terrifying.
its always when ive already woke up in the
morning and decide i want too have another
nap never at night,at 1st i thought
nothing of it just a dream maybe even the
second time i thought nothing.
it was the 3rd time i had it when i could
here everything that was going on around
me and even slightly managed too open my
eyes and could see everything in the room
but i could not move at all.
and while in this state a white mist was
round me and i heard a ticking noise i
thought this was it 4 me and felt i was
slipping away but then i managed too jerk
myself out of it and everything seemed
normal again.
then nothing 4 about 6 months, but its
happened again 3 times in the last two
weeks and from what ive read about it ppl
are saying things about having
allusinations, but im not having nothin
like that because i woke this morning my
misses was next too me and i went too have
another nap and it happened again while i
was in this state i managed too slightly
open my eyes and i saw my misses with the
baby on her chest asleep and i could hear
what was on tv and when i fought my way
out of it and woke back up what i heard on
the tv was on the tv and the baby was on
my girlfriends chest asleep so i wasn't
allusinating and now this as really
paniced me.
although i know other ppl have this i
doubt it will ease the thought of it
happening again im gonna see some1 about
this next week and hopefully get some
imformation of what causes it, and i will
post what i am told so hopefully other ppl
can read it and know more about it cuz i
really know what your going through in the
meantime ill see u soon sleep tight ppl.
