Anyone had an encounter with a Night Hag ?

Question

Its when u wake up in the middle of the night and cant move, your aware of ur surroundings but you cant even speak and it happens alot to me, does this ever happen to anyone else? Or have i just gone mad??

Answer 1

Sometimes happened. Must be tired.

Answer 2

It is called sleep paralysis. Your body does this so you don't flop around when you are asleep. When you wake up, you just woke up before it wore off. That's why it takes some time before you can move. Have you ever has a dream that you were fighting, and you woke up punching the air. That is why we get sleep paralysis. So we don't  get hurt. Back in the day people didn't know what it was, so the said it was an old hag sitting on your chest. Now we know everything. People also say that is what happens to you when you are abducted by aliens. When the bring you back they do this so you will not move till they are gone. This has happened happened to me a lot, the sleep paralysis not the alien thing. But there was this one time when it did happen to me and I turned to see 4 "things" walking out of my room.

Answer 3

Its a type of temporary paralysis, you may be awake but your body isn't. It has happened to me before, not very nice but it's pretty common.

Answer 4

It's happened to me a few times.  It's really scary at first but then you forget it.

Answer 5

I sleep walk, does that count?

Answer 6

Sleep paralysis huh?

I met somebody the other day who regularly suffers from the 'night hag' syndrome.

I'm just glad it doesn't happen to me!
