well last night I don't know if it's a ghost or it's a sleeping disorder (where u can't feel or talk) Anyways it happens to me where I can't move, talk could feel my heart racing fast I could open my eyes and I saw like a black hand shadow that try to strangle me. Or is it just my imagination? After that happens I don't dare to sleep alone or sleep in the dark But it's damn scary.

it sounds scary :eek:
even though I haven't seen a ghost or any supernatural beings yet, I believe that they really do exists...
my cousin had experienced something similar to that before but the only difference is, after experiencing that he's tummy suddenly ached so much... doctors couldn't exactly tell what's wrong with him so my aunt had took him to a quack doctor... after a few days, he was back to normal... the quack doctor said, someone must have cursed him with witchcraft

Sometime is the way you sleep. You should never sleep on the back. Always sleep on the side or have a blanket on your chest. I have that happen to me when i laid on my back with nothing on top of me.

Americans call it ... Sleeping Paralysis (i think). But Lao n Thai folkz call it ... Pee Um. Itz when a ghost sit ontop on you and cross your arms over your chest, cover your mouth and stuff. The best thing to do is call out to buddha if you're a buddhist (visit the temple and ask a high senior monk what to say when Pee Um you). Or you can wiggle your fingers and toes and open/close your eyes constantly. It usually last 10-15 seconds before you can move again. When U do move again. Don't fall back asleep. Go get a drink of water. Wash your face. And don't forgot to hit your pillow and turn it to the other side. Than go to sleep.

Pee Um....only happens when your really tired and usually when you about to wake up but fall back asleep.

Why I know? Cus it happens to be often but Not all the time LoL

i never had this experiences before but i know lots of ppl who had. this also happens in the hmong culture. it's like a demon or monster sitting on you making you unable to move etc..

when my cousin had it.. her dog was barking non-stop. dogs and animals can see the spirits and such that we human can't. my cousin gained conscious thanks to her dog ^_^..

I remember that happend to my dad's cousin once. My mom and her were at a casino just for fun and she suddenly collapsed. My mom drove her to the hospital and she was suddenly all fine but when she waited for my mom to find a parking space outside of the hospital, she collapsed again and she described it as if a black hand covered her face. :/ Really scary.

I just usually wear my buddha bracelet (the one with all the colors like a rainbow) and I'm fine.

If you don't meditate or believe in Buddha ... its no use to wear the necklace. It's helpful tho if you wear a Buddha necklace that you 'Nop' 'Wai' first ... then go to sleep. Even if you don't have a Buddha necklace ... its good to Nop/Wai. And yea ... try not to sleep on your back with your arms on your chest or side. But it really doesn't matter how u sleep. It all depend on if your tired and weak. That's when it usually happen .... when you about to wake up and you really tired n weak.

Its called "old hag" well its what my friends call it.
It happens when you don't get much sleep, or you sleep too much.
I forgot which, but its either one. Hahahaha.

It happens to my friends all the time, they tell me all these scary stuff that happens when they are paralyze.
But its only your imagination, its best too just close your eyes not think about anything and go to sleep.
I never had it before though, but I want to experience how its like once. LOL.

One of my christian friend said one theory she heard and believed was that it is satan who comes to visit good christians.

So all of you who have experienced it must be really good christians that satan wants to convert. 5555

Yeah I've had this experience plenty of times..>i hate it...it usually happends to meeh when I'm really tired or yes about to wake up. You feel suffocated and you shou and scream and try to kick or reach out for someone to wake you up but no one hears you. It's really scary. Sometimes though when i'm really tired and trying to go to sleep then sometimes I would see ghost shadows standing in front of me and I can't move. I hate it. Good idea on actually getting up and getting a drink of water or something. I usually just wake up and am too tired to get up so I fall back alseep and it happends agian and agian several times within the hour.

Yeah, I think it's sleep paralysis. You're probably imagining the part about having your eyes open because I've had that happen many times before.
Then again, I didn't even think of the spirit think until my Vietnamese friend bought it up and she said it was the way I was sleeping, so I changed the way I slept and haven't had that problem since. So...it could go either way. :D Seriously though, I think it's just sleep paralysis. The way I was sleeping before was much like a dead person it could very much be because of the way I was sleeping and the blood circulation.
