Hello there! May I ask you if you have ever heard of sleep paralysis? If not, then you've come to the right place.

It happens right when you wake up, or right when you go to sleep. You basically, have fallen asleep. In other words, you can't do anything. No movement, speech, you can only wander your eyes. The worst part, is that your STILL concious the whole time. This causes a shock-fear that causes severe/sinister hallucinations commonly mistaken for alien-like/monster encounters.

Will it happen to you? Maybe, it happens to around 40-50 percent of the population at least one time in their life. It's usually brief, like a few minutes however..

When does it happen? It only occurs when the person first wakes up, or right before they fall asleep.

Anyway, here is what happened to me..

It was September 2nd, 2010 when I had my experience...Although, this one is different than most. I saw a hairy creature crawling on my bed and on my walls, then even stared at my face. I managed to say "Hello to it" then followed it's gaze, standing up in the process. It didn't go away though.

My tiredness took control of me, so I fell asleep that night; not realizing what last night meant.

When I woke up, I took a few minutes to think about if I should see a doctor about this  or not. That's when, with an unsettling feeling in my chest, I noticed that I had TALKED to the creature last night, I had spoken to it last night.

Which means...I wasn't paralyzed at all.
