Sleep paralysis is a terrifying condition which is little spoken about by its sufferers as they often don’t understand what is happening.

Sufferers awaken to find they have an inability to move any part of their body, while experiencing vivid dreams, night terrors, and hallucinations – often claiming to see shadowy dark figures around them.

Or are they hallucinations?

Shadow figures (or shadow people) are black masses seen in humanoid form which are interpreted by believers in the paranormal or supernatural to representing the presence of a spirit or other entity.

Stories have long been told about these shadowy intruders, or old hags with grey hair (old had syndrome), squatting on the victims chest making it nearly impossible for them to breathe.

This is a terrifying investigation into the affliction of sleep paralysis and will leave you feeling uneasy.

Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
