Have you ever had that feeling where you feel like you are awake but you can’t move your body and it feels like there’s a heavy object on your chest ? If not then congratulations you are one of those lucky ones who have not experienced this creepy phenomenon “yet”. Many names have been used to describe this phenomenon, SLEEPING PARALYSIS or OLD HAG SYNDROME are perhaps the most common ones.

Apparently many people who experience this do it very frequently. While asleep people wake up but are not able to move their body and in that moment one can see shadows from the corner of their eyes , sometimes too close for comfort. There are many chilling stories related to sleeping paralysis. There is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon but mostly people who experience these disagree with these explanations.

During these sleep paralysis episodes people often witness some kind of sleep paralysis demons. They have different characteristics for every different person and can look really horrifying according to what some of the people might have described. This coupled with the fact that one cant even move or speak makes it alot more horrifying. Here are some of the stories of redditors who have witnessed these sleep paralysis demons.

1. u/dreams-outrageous

You know, when I was younger (and still a little bit now) I believed that having sleep paralysis was halfway crossing over to another world or dimension. And the demons that would visit me knew I was a little lost, and that thier appearance might be jarring to me, as I was little.

And maybe the habit of just being non threatening and gentle never went away as I got older. I do recall one time I managed to let out this little scared whine, and I swore, the demon shushed me and gently patted my head.

Regardless of whether or not sleep paralysis demons are real, they certainly feel real. So weird. Also good to know that I’m not the only one who has harmless sleep demons.

2. u/binmehdi

I’ve a strange demon. He is old like 50 years, is bald somewhat and has a very satanic face with a beard. He grabs me from my back and sequezes me too much that I scream and scream until my mom or brother comes to my room to wake me up. This doesn’t happen when I am sleeping straight or on the left side but happens when I am sleeping on right. That means even without any weigh on my body I feel him. It has been 4 months since I last saw him. I am poor at drawing but I’ve seen him so much that I can describe his facial features.

3. u/Bloop_bleep_bloopp My first time it was a figure in a motorcycle helmet standing in the doorway of my room. My first time living away from home on my own. It feels like your mouth is sewn shut and your tongue isn’t there anyway even if you wanted to scream, and your body is stapled you the bed, or in some thick substance that doesn’t let you move. I get it less and less often as I get older (think messing around with drugs caused it) and now when I get it I can alter my breathing enough my boyfriend wakes up and can then wake me up. It’s bloody horrible though.

4. u/TheTwiggsMGW

Through college and few years after I had sleep paralysis fairly often. It was never the same hallucination. The first experience was Samara from The Ring hanging over me and dripping water onto me (woke up drenched in sweat). I’ve also just seen the shadows of people on the wall while they spoke nonsense from the foot of my bed, seemingly with ill intent but I couldn’t understand them.

5. u/dreams-outrageous

Most of the time it was too dark for me to see, so it would just be the feeling of something pressing down on me, forcing me into the mattress, and usually accompanied by exaggerated house sounds or the sounds of nature outside of my window was open.

Usually whenever I have them, they appear in the corner of my room. They’re tall, and impossibly thin, with large and long hands, all pitch shadows with red circles where eyes should be. They sorta resemble people?

They usually just come up and sit on the edge of my bed, and pat my knee gently as if to comfort me. They aren’t mean or anything. They go between looking at me, and just looking at things around my room, reading posters, etc.

Eventually they sorta just… dissolve into thin air, and then they’re gone. Its a weird experience, but I’m glad its not deeply horrifying.

6. u/scythevettore

I used to have them when I was younger. I would always wake up and three blob-ish black masses would be at the foot of my bed. No faces but blacken (moreso than their bodies) and sunken in where their face should have been, no sharp lines or distinct figures. Just three separate blobs floor to about 6ft long. Couldn’t move, felt like I couldn’t breathe, and I would just have to lay there until they dissipated. They weren’t violent but felt malevolent. Felt like hours until they left but I had no sense of how much time would pass.

I would like to note that my mother made me collect dolls growing up and would put them in my room. I whole heartedly believe those keep the dead inside but that’s my opinion

7. u/mindfeces

There’s frequently an auditory component to my sleep paralysis.

I intuitively know “they” are on the other side of my bedroom door, soon to enter.

The auditory part consists of the times when I can “hear” (this is a bit more of a dreamlike sensation) savage knocking and rattling. That part is pure fucking torture.

8. u/Wild Sea_9827

Before I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and found out about sleep paralysis, I thought I had ghost encounters, with touching and telekinetic stuff and everything. This new information made sense of my life again.

9. Unknown

I’ve had sleep paralysis like twice. I never had any visual hallucinations though. Just auditory hallucinations. Both times it was the deafening sound of television or radio static. One of the times freaked me out because I had my radio on so I thought that something was messing with it. Tried to get up to see what was going on with it and realized I couldn’t move. Luckily I was familiar with sleep paralysis and was able to wake myself up.

10. kirkrjordan-Bd

Before I knew what sleep paralysis was thought I was straight up haunted…now I know otherwise.

The hallucinations and feeling like you’re buried under a ton of bricks is indeed scary.

What is worse though is that you feel a malevolent presence in the room and it is somehow exerting the paralyzing force onto you… that’s even more scary.

Those 3 things are all scary on their own and worse together but they are all rational fear responses to what is happening. Sleep paralysis fear feels different…it feels like on top of all of the above the chemical in your brain that makes you feel afraid is being injected into you. Pure. Fear. In your brain…completely irrational fear..on top of all the other stuff.

That’s the best I’ve way I’ve been able to describe the horror.

Haunted houses- 50 Berkley square, London

April 17, 2022May 13, 2022Posted in blogging, paranormal, writingTagged #abandoned, #creepy, #creepypasta, #cryptids, #folklore, #ghost, #haunted #hauhtedhouse #poltergiest, #horror, #legends, paranormalLeave a comment

50 Berkley square (London)
50 Berkley square located in Berkley square, Mayfair, Central London is reportedly one of the most haunted townhouses in London. People believed that the attic of the house was the most creepy place with a lot of occurences but a lot of people credited those occurences to the wierd owner who used to sleep during day and wake up at night. It is still believed that women kind of evil lurks within the walls of the house. There is a story of a man who moved into the house along with his teenage daughters. The elder daughter immediately started complaining of a strange musty smell that according to her was of animals in cages at the zoo.

Once the elder daughter’s fiance was due to visit so the housemaid was told to clean the upstairs room for him. As soon as she went up there, the family members heard a terrified scream. When they went to check, she was collapsed on the floor muttering “don’t let it touch me. Even after the incident the girl’s fiance decided to stay in the same room. He went upstairs and locked the room, 30 minutes later everyone heard him scream, followed by a gunshot. He was found dead, his face twisted in horror. There was another man who was skeptical. He told the other occupants before going to bed that at night if he were to ring the bell once, they should ignore it but if the rings the bell twice they should come to his aid. At midnight they heard the bell once and ignored it, soon after the bell started to ring furiously, they ran to his room to find him in absolute terror. He died shortly afterwards.

There are several legends relating to the house. It is believed that the attic of the house is haunted by the spirit of a young woman who committed suicide there. She is capable of frightening people to death. Another story is that the attic is haunted by a spirit of a little girl who was murdered there by a servant. In 1872, lord lyttleton stayed in the attic with his shotgun. At night he reportedly fired at the apparition. In the morning he could only find the cartridges. In 1887 it was alleged that two sailors from HMS Penelope stayed there. One of them was found dead and the other was driven insane.
Recently there has been no reports of any paranormal activity and a family lives there.

Robert the haunted doll

April 16, 2022Posted in paranormalTagged #abandoned, #creepy, #creepypasta, #cryptids, #folklore, #ghost, #horror, #legends, paranormalLeave a comment

You probably might have heard about annabelle the doll, well this story is of equally creepy but slightly lesser known doll Robert.
Apparently this doll served as an inspiration for movies about chucky.

History

The doll originally belonged to Robert eugene, who belonged to a prominent family in the key West. The doll was bought by his grandfather from Germany in 1904 and it remained in his family home even after Robert eugene died in 1974.

Early signs
As a child Robert became infatuated with the doll and gave the doll his own name. He changed his own name to Gene and when his mother asked him why he has changed his own name, he replied” because Robert said so”.(the doll). One night Gene woke up to find Robert sitting on his bed staring at him. He started screaming, his mother came running and with much difficulty opened his room’s locked door to find Gene curled up in fear, his room in shambles and Robert the doll sitting on the foot of his bed.

The hauntings

Gene became blaming Robert for all the mishaps around the house. Gene’s parents would hear him talking to the doll and apparently hearing the doll giggling in response. Sightings of Robert running up and down the stairs and looking down from windows became a regular affair. Robert was locked up in the attic, soon people began hearing footsteps like something or someone pacing back and forth and giggling from the attic. Sometimes Gene would find the doll back in his room sitting by the window. In fact everytime the doll was locked in the attic, it came back into his room somehow. The family moved to France leaving Robert the doll behind in the attic.

The Eventful Reunion

Years later, Gene returned to live in his childhood home with his wife. He found Robert again and started playing with it. Gene would take Robert everywhere and would also talk to the doll for hours. His childhood obsession with the doll started again leaving his wife worried for his mental health.
In 1974,Gene was found dead in his attic with Robert on top of him, it’s small hands around his neck.

Aftermath

After that Gene’s wife leased the house and moved back to France. The new owners found the doll and gave it to their child. One day they woke up to find Robert in their room sitting atop a kitchen knife. Their kid was also creeped out of the doll.

They donated the doll to Fort East Marcello Museum where it remains to this day. The doll is believed to be evil,possed by a demon. Some other people belive it to be cursed by Otto family’s caretaker using black magic. However, still a lot of fans pop up at the Museum everyday to get a look at the doll.
