PS I never said I was human

My sister has the same4 things sometimes, she is 21, she said she saw a hooded figure kind of like death on ly that sounds realy lame and made up...

any way she said it drained her of her energy and she was too tired all the time to do anything, then she moved into my aunties joint for a month or 2 and it still happened only it wasnt as bad and she didnt see it.

it also opened a lock on her closet and it hasnt shut properly ever since

this is at a couple of different houses as well...

This is probably just a case of the "old hag." That is something during sleep paralysis, you start feeling evil spirits and the such.

hi, Reading what you wrote mate was scary,
I havn't really got a answer to what exactly you were seeing but i have had similar but not as bad experiences as yourself.
When i was young, only being about 5 or 6,
When going to bed at night i always had my door open and it use to overlook the hallway. One night i woke up and after returning from the toilet i got back into bed, lay down and as i did i could see what i could only describe as a 4 ft ugly, scary looking figure. It would walk right up to my door and just stand there, not saying anything i too like yourself would not be able to move at all. i could hear its footsteps and i know i wasnt dreaming. After seeing it from waking up in the night over the course of about a year i would see this same thing. It wouldnt always be after waking up, sometimes after i had just got into bed. Most time i would run into my mother and fathers room, When l did go into my mom and dads room i would be lying awake scared stiff and if i looked to the doorway i would see two red eyes staring at me. I told my mom this but she said i was dreaming and that nothing was there.
At a very young age i had phsycological problems and that resulted in what they call night terrors ( basically i would have real bad nightmares, that i would wake up from they would continue while i was consious and iwould be acting out these nightmares but i would not know i was awake ) I am 100% i was not asleep or dreaming as it happened like yourself, more times that i can remember and every time slightly it happened it slightly changed. I now too keep my door closed. I Havnt had this since i was about 7 and im now 21.

Jwest777, at night when I was little, I occasionally saw people/images floating in my bedroom and sometimes I would hear frightening sounds. I never told anyone and simply slept with the covers over my head.

Perhaps seeing and/or hearing things is due to having an extremely vivid imagination and is a precursor to being able to LD (so many people replying to this post have experienced it).

Reading your posts I could feel your fear, your desperation for understanding and for just one reply that could ease your mind.

Sadly I have no answers for you. I can only wish you peace.. peace of mind and peace of spirit.

Be strong...

Thanks. It is disturbing and has been for the past 20 years. I can understand how and why some people may think I was hallucinating or dreaming or some sort, but if this same thing happened to them, they would think the same as I did. I mean, I want to go to a doctor or someone and say something, but the last thing I want is someone trying to put me on medication or saying I'm just imagining things when I know 100% I was not... I regret that I didn't push my parents harder to borrow a video camcorder or something at the time to at least try in some way to record the events that happened. Now, I may never truely find out..

In reply to the first topic (I haven't read all replies up until this point), it sounds like Sleep Paralysis. It is clearly a hallucination (in my opinion, of course, it didn't happen to me ), and it involved intense fear, and made you wake up... Similar to the old hag, except you're 4, and fear weird shit like people cramming dynamite in your mouth . I would guess it reoccured only because the first time it made you very afraid, and it compounded. Then when you hit that same state, you were almost expecting it to happen. I suspect the very first time this happened isn't the exact same as when you were 12. I would guess the fear has evolved, and that you might not be able to notice the evolution of it, because the more detail you demand from the experience, the more that has to be created.

*shrugs* Don't know if what I said made sense .

EDIT: video camera is a good idea :-).

A few things I want to address to the previous post. At the age of 4, I had no thoughts about people putting dynamite into my mouth (I was 4 for crying out loud) Second, I wasn't always fearful when the experience happened to me. When it first happened ( as far back as I can remember, i was 4) I wasn't afraid at all, I was more curious like " What is happening to me?" Third, this experience has happened in the same exact way every single time and has not been different at all except for one instance in which it was about to come around the corner to come into my room, and I turned my head towards the wall before I made eye contact with it. I had my toys (I was 6 or 7 during this time) all over the floor. I heard it's steps as it came into the room, and next thing I know, I heard the sound of glass breaking which lasted for about 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly it stopped. When I turned my head, it was gone... I never quite understood why that happened. And I didn't leave the toys out there on purpose. I didn't think about them until the next morning when I got up and noticed that some of them were turned over.

I read more of the previous posts as well, and I have been looking more deeply into this, but I'm cautious. I don't want people labeling me as crazy or psychotic or something simply because I want to understand something that happened to me during my childhood and teenage years. It took me more than ten years since the experience last happened, for me to gather the courage to post it on the internet to see if anyone else had this experience.

In that case, I would most definitly suggest a video camera, and trying to re-create the experience. I'm the type of person where one strange experience bugs the hell out of me until I can figure it out...

I dont think u should waste money on any therapy, you know better than anyone if you were awake or not especially if it happened more than once. Your story really creeps me out but I dont discard it, I think there are things that are just unexplainable, and I think that it has something to do with that house, like someone else said a haunting or something along that way, I just wouldn't sleep in that house ever again, Im surprised after all that youve actually gone back, I know I sure as hell wouldn't

Back again. It's been awhile since I have even checked this forum. Close to a year has gone by since I last checked this site and still to this day I have not been able to explain whatever it is that has happened. I think I'll actually take the advice of peebrain and try using a video camera to try to recreate the experience, but since it's been over 10 years, I'm not sure if that's even possible. But at least, it is worth a try. I'll post again if I get anything at all (although I doubt this). Thanks everyone for your input. I truely appreciate it.

Yes yes, I agree with Peebrain, I think its sleep paralysis. I watched a TV show, people that were claiming to be abducted by aliens, see people standing and running into their room, and even see witches fly around in their room had just been experiencing cases of sleep paralysis. Not just having the inhability to move, but seeing these people, objects and creatures.

when I wake my mother up before I go to school, a couple of time's she has had something kinda like that. The first was, I knocked on the door and yelled "mum! it's 8:00! get up!" and I was just on my way down stares when I hear her screaming and yelling "oh my god" so I run back up and open the door and my mum is going "look! look!" and pointing at the ceiling...of course there was nothing there, but it was kinda wierd when she was running out the room and turned around she could still see "it" I would think if you look away, it would dissapear? anyway she described the thing to look like a beetle the size of her head that's body looked like loads of elastic band's strung together in clump. The second time it was a Big spider coming out of a flower pot
kinda wierd since 1. she is not a mentalist
2. she isn't scared of bugs
your "thing" sound's a bit like "Frank" from Donnie Darko

Sometimes we fall asleep without even relising it, I used to do this were I swore I was just laying there in bed when I just start dreaming out of nowhere.

It's kind of freaky, I think it only happened once, then I was paralyzed, and floating around the room.
but don't take it from me I'm just to sceptical of all this paranormal stuff.

Almost certainly a dream then. I've had dreams that I can't wake from, and the only way to end it is to scream like you've never screamed before. D The same is for normal dreams, screaming really loud and hard will usually end the dream.

I visciously shake my head from one side to another, however sometimes when i do that i go into FA's
