Ghost on top of you????
-
Ok, some of us may have experienced this before...
At nite, u're sleeping soundly and suddenly you feel a weird sensation all over your body and u're paralysed.. U cannot move nor talk.. as if something is "on top" of you...
Many people claim tt it's because a ghost was sitting on top of of you..
But some say tt it has to do with the human body, something about the brain not being awake yet.. blah~ (I've forgotten the scientific explanation)
My frens have encountered such stuff before, one claim to have seen a black thing above her forehead when she experienced this horrible feeling...
And I myself, tot I saw a black thing at the foot of my bed but I cannot confirm if it was really there or if my eyes were playing tricks on me... Usually I experience weird stuff when this happens to me, I sometimes hear voices and sometimes I see evil things...
Another friend claimed tt she woke up paralsyed and her photoframe on the wall was shaking..
So what's exactly behind all these... is it supernatural or can it be explained with science?? -
hmmm... many colleagues say they have felt this before also...
then in the army, during NS, some of them say the same thing...
usually the same thing is said.. someone's sitting on them, they cannot move, cannot speak...
or someone pull their legs and arms, they cannot lift them.. always, they are in a stage of semi-consciousness... -
scary...
-
mi also. last many many moons ago i went and stay at a hostel and then during the night i felt something on me. I can't talk, move, or even shout lah. I can feel something pressing on mi but i can.t do anything about it.
So I pray to God very earnestly and after a while I can move again.I think maybe supernatural or something -

heres some more info on "ghost sit on top of u"!!!
Have you ever been asleep and suddenly woken only to be paralyzed, seen a dark evil shadow looming over your bed, felt somone sitting on your chest or body holding you down trying to choke you, or perhaps heard strange noises and felt an eerie feeling of evil descending upon you? Chances are you are more than likely a suffered a Sleep Paralysis.
Symptoms
Paralysis whilst entering or exiting REM sleep (dreaming).
Total body paralysis, with sparing of respiration and eye movements. It lasts from seconds to minutes and can be a bizarre and usually terribly frightening experience.
With the paralysis you can experience some of these common things:
A feeling of being choked or suffocated
A feeling of someone pinning you down or sitting on you (your chest in particular)
Being able to hear noises including footsteps and voices close by
Being able to see beings or dark shadows surrounding or standing near the bed
A frightening feeling of evil descending upon you
Shaking of the body or rumbling sensation (ringing) in the ears
A feeling of untold evil surrounding you or trying to suffocate you
Noises such as knocking or banging on the walls
The feeling of being in a dream like state but yet thinking you are awake
I'm sorry to say that all these symptoms mean that you are most probably not being abducted by aliens or experiencing a spirit visitation or a paranormal event. They are all symptoms of the sleep disorder known as Sleep Paralysis (SP).
When you sleep your brain shuts off the signals from your brain to your muscles therefore you don't get up and act out your dreams. For people with sleep paralysis, you come into consciousness before your brain returns control of your muscles which in turn makes your feel paralyzed and gives you the symptoms that sometimes are very frightening and realistic.
If you suffer from this disorder you are not alone, it's actually quite common and it's estimated that quarter of the population of America suffers from it. It's a hereditary disorder so if you are suffering from it chances are that someone else in your family is also suffering from sleep paralysis and not owning up to it.
I can't find any logical reason as to why most cases report a feeling of being choked, suffocated or someone sitting on their chest - but it seems that being in this state brings out your very worst fears. Some sufferers have reported such things as loud banging on the walls, spinning objects in front of their face, dark evil figures standing over the bed, calling out of their name, and the most common is a feeling of evil descending upon them.
It is generally thought that some people who believe that they have been abducted by aliens whilst sleeping at night such as in the story "Communion" could actually only be sufferers of this phenomenon. Some people use Sleep Paralysis to induce Lucid Dreaming or Astral Projection, although most people have no idea how to induce an episode of Sleep Paralysis.
Sleep Paralysis can be a symptom of another sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This is a more severe sleeping disorder and would need treatment by a Physician.
The visions you see and the things you hear whilst in this particular state are just sensory hallucinations that are very difficult to distinguish from reality.....think of it as being awake but having a nightmare that is terribly realistic. In the eastern U.S. & Canada in the 19th Century people would say that the Old Hag came last night and sat on their chest during their sleep. But however no matter how much danger that you think you are in you cannot be harmed whilst in this state, even though you feel as if you are being chocked or suffocated - no harm will be done!
Being involved with the paranormal myself I find that Sleep Paralysis is one of the most common ghost stories I hear - people always start telling me how an evil spirit was sitting on their chest at night trying to choke them - I always stop them and to their great dissappoinment tell them about Sleep Paralysis. It's sad to see someones face fall when you know that they've been telling all their friends and relatives for years how they had an experience with an evil spirit. People quite often refuse to believe it's Sleep Paralysis - but I'm afraid to say it's a scientifically proven thing - there is untold evidence available on the net regarding this condition - People don't want to believe because it all seems to real. I have suffered Sleep Paralysis myself on various occasions and I can say that YES it is realistic and YES it is difficult to believe that you are not going to suffocate and die, but belive me if you let yourself go and fall back asleep, you'll wake up later thinking it was all a dream - with no harm done to yourself.
A Few Suggestions on How to Escape Sleep Paralysis
Willing yourself to make a sound or at times just moving your finger will help you to get out of this state
Travel at least 350 miles away
Scream out loud and carry on after you wake up for a while
Sleep in a hammock that automatically swings all night
Seek professional help - there are actually many drugs and treatments used for this condition such as antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Strategic napping
Regulation of sleep/wake scheduling
Scheduled vigorous exercise and avoidance of sleep deprivation
Vigorously move the eyes, then flutter the eyelids, and then move the facial muscles
I find that shaking my head does it every time - I get scared and feel as though I'm not awake properly so I start dreaming of shaking my head from side to side
Many will tell you that you need to cry out the Lord's name and that will save you - but to be honest you could call out Mel Gibson's name and you'd still come out of the paralysis and not be eaten by an irate demon. SP usually only ever lasts a few minutes and rarely has any negative effect - it's virtually a harmless state to be in - just very frightening. -
woah...... now i know...

I find that changing the position of your head once you awake helps prevent further eposides... hmmm

time for a song
Narcolepsy - Third Eye Blind
I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm,
And there's a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm,
And there it goes, my last chance for peace,
I lay me down, but I get no release,
I try to keep awake, I try to swim beneath,
But still I find this narcolepsy slides,
Into another nightmare.
And there's a demon in my head who starts to play,
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday,
And I hold my breath 'till it's more than I can take,
And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake,
I try to keep awake,
I try to keep awake,
But still I find this Narcolepsy slides, into another nightmare.
I read dead Russian authors, Volumes at a time,
I write everything down except what's on my mind,
Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound,
And then I know that I will neer get back out,
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink,
In a crowded room where the glasses clink,
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep,
Because that keeps me from falling asleep,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide slides, Into another nightmare,
Keep awake. Keep awake, Keep awake,
Still I find this narcolepsy slides... -
hmm......

usually when that happens i just keep wriggling my fingers and toes until i wake up.
last time young used to get it quite often. my last experience was few months ago, the 2nd last before that was years ago.
it is definitely not anything supernatural. -

Interesting topic
I believe that many ppl have experienced this before.. -
I experienced it before. It happened when i was Sec2. When i tried to sleep, i sorta lose control of my body, but my mind is still awake, then i felt something pushing me on my body.
As if its not bad enough, i heard sounds of laughters ringing in my ears!! I freaked out and i started to pray very hard and i struggled to wake up and turn to my side! I managed to turn and struggled to sleep on my side ,while praying all the time. Then the force began to push me from the back! Its like something is pushing me from the back with a very huge force but yet i am not moving forward! After a few mins,that the force seem to be lesser and it was gone eventually.I couldn't sleep that night though.
Next day i told my sister about it immediately, she told me she experienced it too, its what they call spiritual oppression. When the enemy sees that you are on fire for God , all the more he will try means and ways to instill fear into your heart and make you waver in your faith. So its actually a good sign that i am walking right with God. Phew! So after that it was the first and the last time since i experienced that. I just prayed and everything will be fine! -
woah..... I've experienced it alot of times... it usually happens when Im about to sleep and I start 2 worry that it would happen and it would REALLY happen... so e best is not to think abt it...Originally posted by saintboy:I experienced it before.

I usually hear voices or laffter.... and once I saw a smoky outline of the devil's face... spoooky?? -
THe more one thinks about it, the more one feels it's real. -
WowOriginally posted by *evanesence*:I usually hear voices or laffter.... and once I saw a smoky outline of the devil's face... spoooky??
That's one spooky encounter! -
Its all in your mind. Your mind is a battlefield. Sometimes such encounters are possible when the devil has a stronghold in a person's life. I think its good if you can just do a reflection on your spiritual life and see what needs to be done if there is any. Sometimes we allow little openings to the devil through "small" sins that we cherish and refuse to let go. hehe...anyway its good to find someone more mature and probably solve the issue once and for all.Originally posted by *evanesence*:woah.....
