I’ve had sleep paralysis once. I “felt” like someone was holding me down. It wasn’t fun...

This happened a lot when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Still happens occasionally. It never felt like anyone was holding me down. It was more like someone was standing over me just watching. A few times I had a feeling that someone was coming up the stairs. It's a terrible feeling because you really can't move, so you start to panic.

I’ve had sleep paralysis once.

Happen to me a few times, very frightening.

Remember praying that it go away, and I swear I heard in a clear loud voice saying, "LEAVE HER ALONE" It has never happen since then

I have sleep paralysis often.

It’s absolutely terrifying.

There is always a “presence”, but I know nothing is there, that feeling that something is and not being able to move(you can but it takes a lot of will) is crazy.

That happened to me once when we lived in Hawaii and my husband was traveling. I WAS being held down — maybe sat on. Couldn’t breathe. I yelled out loud, “Help me, Jesus!” and I was released immediately.

A few weeks later at work a group of us were chit-chatting. One local mentioned a Hawaiian legend-spirit that sits on people in their sleep. Freaked me out.

Hawaii is a very “spiritual” place - and not in a good way.
