Has anyone ever experienced a MALE "hag"??

Question

Just doesn't seem fair that they only see female ones. Anyone have an experience when a man -hag appeared to them at night one of their sleep stages?

Answer 1

I've never experienced either because I will only allow beautiful women (imaginary, hallucinatory or real) in bed with me and so those just refuse to show up. Of course they might just be afraid of my wife ;)

There is a very good scholarly book on this subject called

"The Terror that Comes In the Night: An experienced-centered study of supernatural assault experiences" by David Hufford.

Yes, many stories are about male demons, incubus etc.

Answer 2

I am pretty sure they would be called "Incubus", since Hag specifically refers to a female.

Incubus would be the equivelent sleep paralysis experience for women as the Old Hag or Succubus experience.

I have had the Old Hag experience once in college, which is when I learned about sleep paralysis, even though I've suffered episodes of it frequently throughout my life.

Of course being a guy, I can't tell you, but I am pretty sure that females would have similar experiences with the Hag. However, Sleep Paralysis hallucinations are very much subject to cultural expectations, and quite frankly, the "Old Hag" just isnt as much a cultural icon anymore. She has been replaced by aliens.

Answer 3

Yes...I don't think that hallucinations in sleep paralysis are limited to female "hags" in fact many people claim to see aliens, demons, etc.

In my own personal experiences, once I felt someone brushing my hair away and murmuring into my ear, and it was definitely a male voice.  It was very creepy!
