User blog comment:Vookvook/Has Anything Paranormal Ever Happen to You?/@comment-1186783-20140709020027

(maybe supernatural, maybe a run of the mill hallucination, which are common with sleep paralysis, but I think it was something else)

I had sleep paralysis, saw a shadowy, humanoid figure in my doorway. My parents were down the hall (I was visiting from college), and I tried to scream (couldn't form words for the sleep paralysis, but could make incomprehensible sounds). They never came (thought I was talking in my sleep), but I eventually heard them say something. Whatever it was, it panicked, turned to smoke, and drifted off.

Eventually I was able to get myself moving again by starting with my toes, and working my way up.
