Sleep Paralysis or Being Attacked by a Ghost/Spirt?

In the realm of the esoteric and occult, there exists a phenomenon that has perplexed and intrigued practitioners for centuries: sleep paralysis. Is it a mere scientific occurrence or a spiritual encounter with the ethereal realm? Join us on a captivating exploration as we delve into the depths of this enigmatic experience and unravel its mysteries, drawing from ancient wisdom and modern research.

Unveiling the Science

Sleep paralysis, at its core, is a natural state that occurs during the transition between wakefulness and sleep. Exploring the scientific aspects behind this occurrence enhances our understanding of its foundations. Researchers have discovered that during sleep paralysis, the body experiences a temporary paralysis, effectively safeguarding us from acting out our dreams and potentially causing harm to ourselves. This state is believed to result from a disrupted sleep cycle, irregular sleep patterns, or underlying sleep disorders.

The Supernatural Encounter

While science provides a rational explanation for sleep paralysis, it often fails to capture the extraordinary experiences reported by those who have endured it. Many practitioners believe that sleep paralysis can serve as a gateway to the spirit realm, allowing encounters with ethereal beings and astral entities. Countless ancient texts, such as the grimoires and sacred books, shed light on rituals and spells that can be employed to navigate and protect oneself during these encounters.

Mystical Practices for Transcendence

Drawing from the wisdom of witches, shamans, and meditation practitioners throughout history, there are several array of practices to empower individuals when facing sleep paralysis or supernatural encounters. These rituals may include:

  1. Protection Spells: Tap into the energy of the Earth and invoke ancient incantations to create a protective shield against malevolent forces.
  2. Astral Projection Techniques: Delve into the mystical art of astral projection to explore the astral plane consciously and with intention, transforming sleep paralysis into a spiritual journey.

Shamanic Rituals

Shamans, with their deep connection to the spiritual realm, possess invaluable knowledge and rituals to assist individuals in navigating the realm of sleep paralysis. Incorporating these practices into your spiritual toolkit can provide a sense of empowerment and protection:

  1. Dreamcatcher Ceremony: Create and utilize a sacred dreamcatcher infused with intention to filter out negative energies and promote peaceful and lucid dreaming.
  2. Spirit Animal Invocation: Call upon your spirit animal during sleep paralysis to guide and protect you through the encounter. Connect with their energy and wisdom to navigate the ethereal realms.

Balancing Science and Supernatural

While it’s important to honor both scientific and supernatural perspectives, finding a balance between the two can provide a more holistic understanding. Recognize that sleep paralysis is a scientifically acknowledged phenomenon, while also acknowledging the spiritual significance it holds for many practitioners.

Bridging the Gap

In recent years, researchers have begun to explore the connection between sleep paralysis and the mystical experiences reported by practitioners. Studies have suggested that certain neurological conditions and states can induce hallucinations during sleep paralysis, blurring the line between scientific and supernatural explanations.

Sleep paralysis remains an intriguing and multi-faceted phenomenon, weaving together elements of science, spirituality, and the unknown. By embracing both scientific discoveries and ancient wisdom, we can navigate these ethereal encounters with greater clarity and empowerment. Remember to approach sleep paralysis with an open mind and a respect for the mystical realm, allowing it to unveil its secrets and offer profound insights into the nature of our consciousness.

This has happened to me 2 or 3 times over the course of a year, and it’s honestly scared the living shit out of me.
I was completely sound asleep, and then I was awoken by this horrible presence. I just felt like there was a very evil presence looming right over me. I was awake, but I could not open my eyes, and I could not move a muscle no matter how hard I tried. I started to panic, and I remember telling my limbs to physically move, but I could not move any part of my body to save my life. Then I felt something pushing me down further into my bed. Whatever the presence was, it felt very evil. I just felt overwhelmed with fear. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn’t. I tried to scream, but I couldn’t.
Now, I’m Catholic. I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus. But I’m not one of those extremely religious people. So I’m not just some crazy person making up a story here. I don’t really go to church, but I pray sometimes when I feel the need to. And when this episode was happening to me, I desperately felt the need to pray to God. I was afraid that I was being possessed or something. So I started saying Hail Mary’s in my head because I could not speak. I prayed in God and I asked him to make this evil presence go away. Literally as soon as I did that, I felt something lift off me. I could move again, and I woke up, shaken. I couldn’t sleep in my bedroom for a couple of nights. I was seriously disturbed. That was about a year ago, and just a couple of nights ago, it happened to me again.
I just dont know what this is. I remember in my psychology class that I read something about sleep paralysis, but it was something that scientists could not fully understand what causes it. Was this just sleep paralysis that I was feeling, or was it what I really think it was…an evil spirt that forced itself onto me, and restrained me? It was the most scary, unusual thing that’s ever happened to me. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Does anyone have a logical explanation, or any information regarding this phenomenon?

Life is strange

Ive always had bad sleeping habits but this has to be one of the weirdest unexplained things. Mine are very similar but sometime it feels like someone is trying to lift me to float or push me off the bed. Sometimes its just my feet or hands trying to float. It seems like im fully conscious but cant move any part of my body on my own will. I never see anyone but i definitely feel a presence. On occasion i can even feel the hands that are trying to lift me but mostly its just a force. Its to the point now where instead of being frighten about it im just curious.

gabriel

i just had an experience smiliar to this about 10 minutes ago. i was just about to fall asleep when i relized i couldn’t move. i couldn’t open my eye or do anything besides think. i felt a very strong evil presence or vibe.i started freaking out, but then i started to focus. i think my mind was too strong for the spirit or ghost or whatever it was because it could only disable my body functions for about 30 seconds to a minute. afterwards i still felt the spirit and told it to go away in my head. and if it’s trying to communicate with me. then do so in a less frighten manor. after i did that i had to turn on some source of light. went down stairs came back up turned on all the lights in my room. felt as if it has left me alone….for now.

this has happened to me since i was a child and im a very light sleeper, if anyone walks into my room i wake up from theyre presence alone most of the time. ive always had the paralysis happen to me and im convinced its not a natural human function becaause over the years it has affected me diffrently especially when i moved at the age of 16. im also not very religious but believe in a higher power. i have felt a tingling feeling crawling up my foot to my thigh and i wake up immobilized and i would have to fight and struggle to move…theres a breaking point wher i put enough effort and im free, i even tested the phenom and let it take over me (bad idea) thats when i would feel a shock going deep into me, maybe my soul. well those have no solid direction as to the cause or rational reasons but last night i was sleeping and my brother snuck into my room 1:30 am and just off his presence i woke up! he was watching my tv and after a bit i told him to leave because i couldnt sleep with him in the room. it then got hot in my room so i opened my window and turned a fan on the slept on my back perpendicular to the bed with no sheet on and my hands behind my head..i woke up paralyzed of course but for the first time i actually saw a shadow of a being right over my face like it was about to kiss me, i didnt have strength to focus my eyes, out of my periphial vision i could see its body going down to the floor…it was a shadow with the false presence of my brother with no eyes, mouth, ears, nose or facial definition BUT! i heatd it breathing. any way after i found strength to move it simply vanished.. i then got under the cover terrified and my mother walked into the room to see if i was going to work….i gave her a hug and told her the story…this just happened LAST NIGHT and its the only reason im on here posting this because i saw with my eyes and felt the false brotherly presence from another being!! i think these beings steal energy or take something from you other wise there would be no reason for it to occur multiple times…theyre takin something from you or trying to do something….I WANT AN ANSWER…I KNOW WE WHERE ALL BORN INTO THIS WORLD WITH NO MANUAL GUIDE LINE OR ANYTHING BUT PEOPLE ARE SMART AND I KNOW THERES SOME ONE THAT CAN REAALLLLY EXPLAIN WHATS GOIN ON THANKS

I had a similar situation happen to me just last night. It started with a dream I was having, in my dream I got into a physical fight with a friend which caused my body to start moving. Soon as I moved I woke up and rolled over to the side of the bed when I did that It felt like I was laying on someone’s legs. I avoided it and rolled back the other way I thought about what was going on and instantly decide to push this thing off my bed as soon I tried to push I felt something pushing me back into my bed. It was a quick pushing between me and whatever this thing was. I shut my eyes real quick and as soon as I opened the center turned into a white blur. I brought one of my dogs into the room to sleep with after it happen. They say dogs can sense spirits so at least ill get a heads up if this thing returns.. Just wanted to share my experience

Last nite was my first and hopefully last. I was sleeping but was awoken by the sounds of chains cranking, rolling as if to lower something….I thot I woke up and looked doWn and saw a hand on my arm….I was sleeping with my 6 year old so I thot it was her. Then I looked to my other arm and I saw another hand. I tried to move my arms but the hands were holding my arms down. I tried telling my it’s just a dream. The chains started cranking again altho this time it felt as tho my bed was tipping backwaRds slowly as the chains cranked. I would try to wake up it would stop but then it wud continue and I kept tipping backwaRds. And I knew I was goin somewhere dark, scary…I opened my eyes. I cuddnt move my arms, all I cud think of was call my husband….my lips were sealed shut. I cuddnt scream. I tried saying my husbands name…I kept goin backwards. Then I kept making noise what I cud to try to scream and finally it stopped. I was lying in the normal position again…all I did was make sure my daughter was ok. And I believe I prayed to God to protect me and my room looked normal again. Not so dark, blacK…I’m still scared today. And terrified to sleep tonite. I know almost evryone seen dark shadows….is it safe to say this is not the same thing. Altho I can’t explain it…it just was NOT my typical scary dream. My chest feels so heavy and can’t breathe today. Severe anxiety setting in now….

Ok my family have had experience with this all my life, i come from a line of spiritually powerful people. i’am born british but from an asian country and those countries are rife with the supernatural so we get to learn about things in detail more so than others. The women in our family are more attuned to the supernatural than men i am a male so my abilities are not as strong as my mother for instance but i make up for that with more knowledge.
Anyway i will let you know their are different kinds of ghost, spirits and demons and depending on the surroundings and description of attack you can figure out roughly what is attacking you. I wont say anything in detail because believe it or not ignorance will protect you the more scientific or logical minded you are the more protection you have the more you believe in ghosts and spirits the more open to attack you are.
i will let you guys know of some basic protection
1. the room your being attacked in clean it – dirty rooms especially containing feaces of rats attract the supernatural
2.you yourself should be clean the more clean you are the more protection you have.
3.keep some type of holy scripture from your religion in the room but make sure its not on the floor that can cause the opposite effect
4. the room that has the problem should be kept social with lots of people in it example have friends over hang out in that room talk a lot the more quieter a room is kept the easier it is for something to dwell there
thats some basic pre-emptive protection. If you do all that and something still bothers you it means it can be attached to you or the dwelling and that takes a higher level of action to sort out.

Hi I’m Bo. On occasions his problem happens to me especially when I’m very tired to the point I’m use to it. Is very scary but I don’t give in to it I call on Jesus name an it goes away. I’ve heard that a “witch or the devil” riding your back. I don’t now exactly what it is but with God on your side you can overcome it.. By the way if u take a bible an put it under your pillow when you sleep it don’t it hardly ever comes back. So, I’m thinking it can be a demonic experience. Be blessed everyone!

suki

You guys need to stop panicking.see i dont have any faith in god.i felt that too.i always used to sleep at 3.00 am in the morning.i felt more times that someones pushing me into bed i coudnt talk.Be always happy all the time.infact i saw the image of ghost.nowadays if i feel something like tht i used to wake up and drink some water and laugh back.watch some serials.If u feel that again start fighting manup.There is noone in the world can stop u.good day all

Tyler Self

My name is Tyler Self. I’m 13 years old and I think I had one. I know you think I’m bullshitting and wanting attention. But please listen. My dad and my two brothers have been having experiences. Mine was pretty strange. I was half asleep and that’s when I started to hear like a static noise. I kinda got an image in my head like I was just in the shower. But I still heard my TV the image went away but couldn’t open my eyes whenever I tried to shout but my throat rumbled and nothing happened. I tried moving my head but couldn’t move it a budge. But the really really strange thing was that I could sorta move my arms so I kept doing that I tried telling it to go away and that its not welcome. I was scared and I had a feeling it was making it worse. But at one point I sunk deeper and deeper into my bed. But I told myself that I wasn’t giving up. I was asking god but it took a few minutes. I could partially open my eyes and that’s when I saw something even more odd. Their was like a black dot on my left hand right where they say the devils symbol is. At this point I was even more scared and I tried asking god for forgiveness and told him sorry for what I have done wrong over my lifetime. The force stopped and I directly sat up and talked to my dad. He gave me a short prayer to recite I did it a few times and I got my grandfathers cross that came from his coffin out. I now stand here searching for gods forgiveness and love.

Jo

Not sure what this means!
This weekend we stayed in the Premier Inn in Barry, UK. My son woke to see a black figure, no eyes, staring at him. He was scared but was able to go back to sleep. He woke again later the same night to see the same black figure lying on me. I woke and witnessed my son staring at me, I was unaware of any ghosts but did feel creeped out, not sure why. My son said as soon as I said his name the figure disappeared. What does this mean?

john

happen to me before. best way to fight it is not always sleep flat on your back or stomach. because you wont be able to move while its happening. sleep side ways helps me and when this happen i started punching that thing and end up waking up while throwing punches…lol but yeah its not cool at all so make sure to always be ready because this happen to me alot before and i got mad at it cause i couldnt sleep so start fighting back guys!!!!!!!!!!

not alone

This happened to me and another person on the same night and neither of us knew the other experianced it. My friend wad living with me but wasn’t borne again yet. I was a new Christian about 20 yrs old , 28 now, and I had been deperately trying to give him the good news of jesus christ paying our sin debt etc. (Just read the new king james bible ppl, start with the gospel of john and acts) as his life was filled with strife and destruction. His mom overdosed, family broken, he was on drugs, lost, depressed, etc. Anyway he’s saved now. I don’t experiance this anymore. Happened 3 times. Its a demon. You will be attacked when you’re weakest. You’ll likely be sleeping and wake up to the feeling of a presence but nobody is there.you can’t even bump you’re spouseto wake her you can’t move.you might not be able to open your eyes and may see red even in a dark room. You feel like it wants to kill you but it can’t. Pray to God, give your life to jesus. He’ll take it from there. Read the bible and use its knowledge to protect yourself. Its called the armor of God because this is a spiritual war. Don’t listen to this advice about psychic groups and new age religion.its bs.just another angle satan uses to attack you. Satan controls this world and will sift you like wheat. Know the truth and be still and know that God is in ultimate control. Give your life to jesus and your name will not be stricken from the book of life.

Name

Something similar has happened to me. They will go away if you use Jesus’ name to rebuke them. (there were times I could t speak either, so calling on God in my head worked for me too) Don’t be afraid because the space that they were taking, or trying to take in your life, God will fill. It took me a long time to accept, and I am just starting to understand that they can’t actually hurt me because God is actually way more powerful than them.

Kathy

Oh my goodness. This has been happening to me and just like you it has absolutely terrified me. It happens in the early morning after my husband leaves for work. I hear and feel someone walking into my bedroom. The closer they get the more terrified I am. I feel something touch me. One time it was my face and last time my wrist and shoulder. I scream no, no, no but no words come out. When I finally can open my eyes I am shaking. Then I have a very difficult time sleeping in the nights to follow. Now, I get up when my husband leaves because I am so scared. I am 47 years old, a professional, normal, open-minded woman. This is making me feel crazy!

sandy

I was trying to have a baby, unfortunately had a miscarriage. The doctor said to wait 3 months and try again and I did. I got pregnant right away, but I was bleeding for 5 months. That morning I went to the doctor he said I want you on total bed rest. That night I did not sleep with my husband. Our 7yr old son always slept between us even though he had his own room. He was a bad kicker in his sleep. I went to his room and slept out of fear that he might kick my stomach. I woke up in the night and got up to turn the heat up I was chilly. I climbed back into bed in my sons room after laying down and closing my eyes I heard my husband and son talking in the other room. Just then I thought my 7 yr old son was coming down the hall way to where I was. I could tell that a small entity was at the door. So I tried to open my eyes to see my son. So I thought. I was laying on my side facing the door. My eyes would not and could not open, I immediately got scared and tried to speak. I could not move my legs. At this point i am trying to scream, and move with all my might. I literally felt a force of energy hit me in the chest and go right into my stomach. Right after it hit my stomach I broke free and kicked the wall so hard, and screaming bloody murder. My husband and son came running down the hall and said whats happening. All I could say is that a spirit got me! I said I am going with you guys I am not staying hear alone. This is really true I never bled another day after. And I had another healthy son. This small spirit at the door was a baby’s soul, or God healing me, or an alien. I don’t know. But I had a baby. It was a miracle. No more bleeding after that night.

ok so this had happened to me before when I was younger.. I’m in the kardecian spiritual religion. we read about this all the time. what happens is that we are all psychics in one level, it all depends on how you
manifest it. the feeling of spiritual beings around you is right. we are always surrounded by spirits. when you have a greater psychic ability the “weaker” spirits are gonna try to get to you first. what needs to be done is go to a spiritual center where you will be able to open up yourself for spirits and people that need your help. I recommend pick up a book called the book of mediums by Allan Kardec.

I had this happen to me here about a month ago …. I was sound asleep and all of a sudden i could see everything around me…. My infant son and fiancé were sleeping inches not a foot away…. And i could ot move a muscle and no matter how hard i tried to tell my muscles to move it would not happen…. So i started to pray in my mind and tried to get screams out frantically as it seemed. After about 6 attempts at screaming my voice slowly started to come back to me and my cries for help came out very very weak and almost childlike… I am a 28 year old male and my voice was surprisingly soft almost like i was being choked but without being choked if you know what i mean. Once my fiance heard me and she awoke i was instantly fine but VERY scared. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and came back in and very hesitantly went to sleep again. I NOW PRAY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT BEFORE BED. I thank god for the day for my life and my family and ask that any stray spirits be taken to there final resting place where they can be at peace.

Today the 30/01/2013 I went to bed at approx 1 am.
I felt unusually relaxed and at peace/calm. I remember thinking that it was a great feeling but that it was extremely unusual for me to feel this way. Anyways i drifted of to sleep and i remember dreaming a chaotic dream.The dream was that there was someone trying to brake in to my house and that i was aware of this and preparing to confront the intruder.
I then suddenly felt as though someone grabbed both of my feet with two hands . It felt as though it was a extremely hard grip and i remember thinking that this was not good or that whoever or whatever it was had very bad intent indeed. When i felt whatever it was grabbing both of my feet i was in what i would describe in a state of full awareness but i was still asleep.I remember that when it happened that i screamed but in a very high pitch and then a feeling of warmth and comfort started rising up in to my whole body but it started from my feet .This was especially scary as it felt bad / harmful and the feeling of warmth on top of that.Then i somehow forced myself to turn around and there was nobody there and i woke up but i did not feel myself what so ever. I felt very dazed and confused and even light headed .The scariest thing is that both of my feet are now hurting right where i felt that i was grabbed and it is now 15:17 and i am fully awake and aware . Also as this happened i felt extreme discomfort in the left side of my chest and i had palpitations and pain in my heart. In all honesty there was a stage where i thought that it was my time to go / That my life was at an end. Can anyone please explain as to why i feel pain in my feet now ? I checked my feet but there are no marks or signs at all. Overall i would say that this was the strangest most uncomfortable experience that i have ever had .P.S. .I had an out of body experience once when i was asleep. And i have seen a black shadow kreeping towards me once that felt very evil indeed in the middle of the day but i never had this experience before. The fact that my feet now ache really does concern me.

Mamita January 26, 2013
My mom owns her house and while living there strange things has happened to all of us and my boyfriend as well. One night I was sleeping and I wake up to see that I was getting pulled of the bed. I guess I was in shock because I didn’y say anything maybe seeing were this was going to take me. But realizing that I was getting closer of the bed I franticlly woke my boyfriend and told him what just happened. I told him to lie to me and tell me he did it, but I know he didn’t do it. That day I slept holding my knees making sure I was high in my bed as i could. I still hear footsteps and someone walking around when everyone is sleeping. What I sometimes do that seems to work out is keep the tv on low but it dosent work out all the time so I just ignore it untill it scares me again….

Hi, everyone I looked at this sight and found it very strange that people from around the world are having the same type of dreams that I have. I think I have had almost 15 to 20 experiences of this matter in a dream or I think I am dreaming. Just recent I had one where I was laying in bed and something or someone was behind me pushing me down in my bed. I tried to move but the only thing I could move was my eyes in front of me and I barely could move them. I tried to call out to Jesus 3 times but I couldn’t get the words to come out. I knew something was wrong cause I get these dreams mostly when I’m doing something bad, thinking something bad, or not praying to the Father at all. I finally grabbed an arm but I could not see the are from behind me, I tried to lift the arm away but the strength was so strong I couldn’t move it away from me. Eventually I started to pray hard and call out to Jesus and then I got up from my bed. I ran to the bathroom in the dream and grabbed my blessed oil and through it on the bed where I thought the spirit was. I went back to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and my mouth was full of white foam. From dream sources it symbolizes a filthy angry mouth and bad heart. I was just cussing at a bf before he left and I was angry with him before I had the dream. I then looked in the mirror of my bedroom and found me praying and singing a spiritual song “Shine Jesus Shine” by Crystal Lewis. If you guys never heard of that song then please look it up and see what her lyrics are in that song. I say all this to say that these dreams are not by coincidence, I do not believe it’s sleep paralysis from all my experiences. But what I do think is that when we are away from Christ spiritually whether in the heart or mind or both then he gives us a warning on what’s going on when we’re not close to him. The devil and his demons come after us and we give them the power to kill us spiritually resulting in spiritual death when we don’t acknowlege Jesus as our savior and repent from all our sins. We should pray each day when we have a bad thought and repent to God that he will deliver us from evil. There is a spiritual warfare out there and we need to get it together before its to late for us as a people or we will die in sin. Romans 7:9-25 says, “Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin,seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. So then the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good. Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might be come utterly sinful. We know that the law is spiritual but I am unspiritual sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do, And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to — this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me who does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am? Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.” Meditate on that whoever is reading this and have a blessed and Godly day!
