Wouldn't with sleep paralysis on my worst enemy. Whatever it is, or what causes it, It's a feeling of pure terror that words can't do justice.
Totally agree. My mum used to say about my interest in the Paranormal, "you'll not sleep tonight". In reality I didn't anyway. Not really well. First time I bought Sky was in 2006 during the Ashes. I told my mates at work it was so I could watch the Cricket. In reality that was when my sleep paralysis started. I didn't want to sleep out of fear. It isn't that regular and hasn't happened as much since I moved to Rotherham. Oddly when I'm lied next to Laura it doesn't scare me as much because I know she's there beside me. Also having someone at the side of me has made me rationalise it more and accept that it might not be anything sinister as she would see what was happening to me too.
This thread is a great example of how confirmation bias makes people believe something that’s impossible.
Read about a man who said he saw George Michael and Freddie Mercury’s ghosts , now that would put the willys up you
It's an odd one. I used to love going to sleep by myself, that period of time before you go to sleep all warm and cosy imagining all sorts of nice things before drifting off to sleep. Took a while to get used to sharing a bed with a partner but then you get used to it and hate sleeping alone! But you soon get used to being alone again, the worst is thinking the kids are crying, deciding they aren't and drifting back to sleep and then they come into your bed and take all the room!
I’ve had a few experience of that sleep paralysis thing, but I’ll not go into that. This is about something that I didn’t personally directly experience. My wife is very sceptical about supernatural things, she was then and she is now. My daughter is now over 40 and at the time she would have been 2. We lived in Wombwell in a three bedroom terrace on Barnsley Road. My wife put my daughter to bed for an afternoon nap and when it came to the time to pick her up she heard her laughing and jumping on the bed holding the headboard. The thing is she heard the voices and laughter of two children as she approached. She opened the door and there was only one child there. My daughter said “Mummy why did you frighten the little girl away”. We registered it, but thought nothing more about it. Anyway a few months later we were talking to the old lady who lived next door. She told us that she used to have our house. I asked her why she moved to the house next door and her answer surprised us both. She said she had a little girl and she was about the same age as my daughter when she died. The old lady was never happy in our house after that and when next door came up they moved. She told us that her daughter had died in the room that my daughter was sleeping in. We moved her after that. I have an open mind about stuff we don’t know as well as stuff we think we do know. I’m now at an age when I’d like to think there was something else, but I just don’t know, same as everybody else.
There's a bloody good book in there, I reckon. I have a couple of books by James Lovegrove, who combines Sherlock Holmes with HP Lovecraft. Sounds like it could fit into that series quite nicely. "Sherlock Holmes and The Trilby Terror".
I try to keep an open mind , used to be really sceptical but as you hear different stories from different folk , kids not going to bed because of the children already on it , kids talking about the old man that walks through the room etc. I knew a young lass that went to a medium and was full of it so decided to go prove it was fake as I knew she would have talked and given lots of clues. I said nowt and allI can say is they must have been a bloody good guesser because a lot of what they said was spot on, stuff that they really shouldn’t have been able to come up with because As I say I just sat there and gave no feedback
