I also suffer from sleep paralysis, as well as sleep apnea. Started around the time I was in college. No idea why it started then as I'm perfectly healthy otherwise—long distance running, swimming, never smoked, etc. I've never experienced visions of any kind, but my paralysis is always accompanied by an inability to breathe. It's the most terrifying thing in the world, being conscious while you're suffocating and yet incapable of moving your limbs or even opening your eyes (I think my eyes were only open once during this experience). It's like you're sucking air through a straw until you finally snap out of it. Just horrible. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I have sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with sleep apnea and provided a cpap machine, but I often find the machine cumbersome to fall asleep with and it's really just not practical all the time. I go through periods with it.
More to the topic, a few times during this paralysis/breathing obstruction, I have also experienced a deeply ominous feeling, a kind of terror beyond the terror of suffocating, some sort of terrible, I suppose what you might describe as purely evil, presence all around and within me, and when I wake up my heart is thundering and my pulse is racing and I'm drenched with sweat and feel deeply unsettled. If malevolent paranormal beings really did exist, surely that's what their presence would feel like. But I don't believe in ghosts. I believe all those sensations I have experienced are simply physiological side effects of the extreme sleep-disruption going on. I really wish I knew more about what's actually happening inside me, but the literature and general knowledge out there on the topic are woefully meager. Doctors themselves, even the specialists, seem pretty clueless as to what's up. Funny to think in a hundred years there might really be simple explanations and cures for all sleep-related ailments. I mean, just a couple hundred years ago we had paintings of demons and succubi sitting on people's chests while they sleep.
because here is one of several links that says scientists who are quite brilliant actually are open to paranormal and some believe it

Because all those who do aren t considered reputable by yourself anymore.
I see you edited it just as I quoted you. Makes my reply seem insane.
go to place locally or internationally and record your experiences...
Congrats yes with the scientific method we can all be less douche and learn more about the world around us.
Same back at you.
exactly. Nothing more to add to that
And of course you're the biggest child here. You should be asleep. It's past your bedtime. I just hope that I didn't give you nightmares.
If you look at the reviews all the people who suffer from it give mainly a 5/5 rating ,while people who are sceptical (ignorant) give it 1/5 saying things like it wasnt scary.
These idiots dont realise it is a medical condition and a proven scientific fact.
Im just letting you know in case you fancy getting a copy,at least they have put this on the map by doing this.
Shame its taken until im 46, when i started experiencing it all when i was 8,but like i say,i usually 9/10 overpower the terror by laughing at it in my mind,by ridiculing it..just dont fall back to sleep straight away or it can come back,best to read or watch a comedy for about 15mins.
Maybe I'm dreaming someone has posted this tripe, verging on spam, on a Bond forum.
Oh, it's no spam. That I leave to you and your every post/topic. We've seen you do this in previous lives too of course. It's become rather tiresome to be honest.
Well f**king said.
When I was a kid I used to have an old couple live next to us and the old man died. About 3 months later I kicked my ball into their garden. I shinned over the fence to get it and when I looked up I swear he was in the window watching me. It spooked me out at the time but of course later I rationalised it as a child's fertile mind combining the fact that I was doing something slightly naughty (climbing over his fence for which he used to bollock us) and the natural scariness of anything to do with death.
I certainly didn't think a more credible explanation was that he had come back from the afterlife to scowl at me.
This sort of thing is great fun for kids but to still be believing in such things as ghosts, tooth fairy, the Loch Ness Monster and God once you get past 13 is pretty tragic.
Has there ever even been a case in history where loads of people had believed in something without the slightest shred of evidence and society had laughed at them for years only for the evidence finally come to light and vindicate them?
Stuff like black holes sound ridiculous but after scientists work at it for long enough they come up with enough evidence to prove their existence yet with things such as ghosts people have been looking at them for centuries yet we are no better off than when we started. All we have is anecdotal evidence from people who say they saw something. And in their heads maybe they did - the mind is a febrile and vibrant place - but seeing something in your subconscious or the mind playing tricks on you is certainly not the same as it actually existing.
Some advice. I've heard if you leave the bedroom light on the ghosts won't come.
Some advice. Stop trolling every thread.
