Attacked by a Dark Entity at Night
I am new to this site, as I found it after the incident that literally just happened to me. I'll give some background info; I'm 19 years old, I am a strong believer in Christ, yet I have some personal demons that I have been struggling with for some time. I have not always been a believer, I have my reasons for becoming religious.
I've been really skeptical about ghost stories and the like, since this stuff never really happened to me. Lately I have been feeling a little dark. I feel like something is going to happen, something bad. I have a strange gift for being empathetic, and can usually tell exactly what is going to happen in the near future.
The other night I was laying in my room about to go to sleep, when the first incident happened. It was probably after 3am and I begun to hear something moving in my room. It was a scraping or dragging noise, and it sounded like it was getting closer in intervals of about 10 seconds. Of course I got really freaked out, but I did not want to move. I knew in my mind that this was not a physical threat, and it was something I still cannot explain. It got closer to my bed until it sounded like it was almost underneath me. I finally jumped up when the poster right next to my head basically blew off the wall. I prayed a little bit and went back to sleep.
For a few days nothing happened, but I was having a really bad feeling still. I got home late again last night, and I was having a little trouble sleeping. I finally started to drift off to sleep around 4am. I began having a vivid dream about my job. Everything was fine until...
BAM - something hit me in the face. I'm not talking about a gentile poke, something forcefully hit me in the face and woke me up. I cannot explain the feeling exactly. It was not really painful, but it felt like it had some strength behind it. It also felt like it hit my entire face/front of my head with equal power. It also took me a few minutes to really think about what happened since I was deep in a dream. I laid in bed scared for about 20 more minutes. I did not want to move or do anything, as I really had no idea what the hell happened. I prayed some more and tried to go back to sleep. It's a little hard when something just hit you in the face and you have no idea what it was!
It wasn't over... I began drifting off to sleep again. By this time (after laying in bed for about an hour) it was starting to becoming light out. I felt safer and fell asleep again. I began having another dream that I was in a restaurant. In the dream I started coughing and choking, and I instantly snapped out of it again. This is when things got crazy.
First of all, I was paralyzed. I could not move and my heart rate shot up noticeably. I cannot describe the feeling of what was happening perfectly. Something was trying to control me, and was succeeding. My ears were ringing and I began hallucinating. I was not dreaming or anything at this point, I was completely awake and alert of what was happening. Whatever it was forcefully moved my head towards the right. I have a poster on my wall of a few girls, and it had turned into a picture of a hand, like a controlling, sinister hand. I begun freaking out as I fought to breath and move and break free of whatever had control of me.
I almost begun to panic, since I was being full-on attacked. I remembered to try and stay calm but it was becoming hard as whatever this was fought for control of me. I prayed some more and it seemed to give up. I was wrong. It attacked again after about a minute. Stronger and harder than before. This time my blankets even fell off my bed. I kicked my feet a little bit and prayed more. I could barely speak, and when I did I could only mumble "God help me".
This occurred not one or two times, but FIVE OR SIX. Each time there was about a minute break between. Between each attack I felt exhausted and could not get up right away. I was trying to catch my breath and it would happen again. Each time shadows would move all around my walls. On what I believe was the sixth try my door opened up. At this point I thought it was my mom and I tried to mumble something out. I managed to say "Mom help I can't move". There was no answer. My door shut and than I felt something grab my leg. I begun freaking out more than ever. My door opened again and I heard something come towards my bed, and than something under my bed. I tried to shout for my mom but no words could escape my mouth. I believe it attacked one more time before it finally left. I than realized that my mother never checked in on me this morning.
It is now 7:30am and I have yet to sleep. I am no longer scared, I actually feel a little calm. I know it is gone for a little, but am very clueless at this point. What the hell is happening to me? I've never had an experience like this before, and after reading some stories on this site I gather this is a pretty significant one. Somebody please help!

May be causing this, it needs to be identified and immediately removed--permanently.
You best know of any such relevant factors.
Hope you're able to accomplish what's needed to bring relief.
It sounds like you need some sound advice.
Usually, these things do happen to people whom are empathetic, because we are easily influenced by words, ideas, stories, people.
You may feel safe sometimes at night, and then other TIMES, feel this presence, a feeling, something there undoubtably around you.
Your Conviction, Inner Strength, Determination are your Armor, Shield, Weopons.
Sometimes prayer is not enough, especially when you blindly pray, I mean just going through the routine, lacks enthusiasm and energy, because we forget the power of prayer.
Do This, go to Church get some Holy Water in a Bottle. Sprinkle some around your Bed, say a prayer, but, talk to God with Sincerity. Give power to your prayer, because it gives Strength to Your Words, basically saying, "I Mean Business",
"God I Need You Help".
It seems to me that you may have more than one entity working against you. These things are actually Cowards, think about it they Attack at night when you are asleep, or resting, and build strength on your fear. However, this can wear you down, especially if it happens Night After Night.
Now I don't mean to say no possible way it could not be "sleep paralysis", maybe, but maybe not. No one really know...
Think about this One Hundred Billion Stars in the Galaxy, and there are Hundreds of Billions of Galaxies, so, there are a lot of things out there we do not know exist.
We are a very primitive culture, still evolving Emotionally, and Intellectually.

Sometimes, we all need help, especially in certain circumstances.
Over the course of Christian history, it has been a well-observed phenomenon that the most pious and dedicated Christians have been systematically attacked and tortured by demons seeking to draw them away from God. Saints, disciples, church leaders and myriad devoted believers have suffered demonic torment in return for their dedication to God. This may be what you're experiencing and I really suggest you see your pastor/priest about this, as he/she may be able to help you. He/she will not think you're crazy.
Otherwise, keep fighting it and keep praying. I know this sounds like the same old thing and you may feel like praying isn't working and that may scare you more than the attacks themselves... But by praying you have already won the battle. These attacks may stop or they may not, but as long as you keep your faith, you're going to be fine. They may hurt you or scare you, but your soul belongs to God - that's the one thing they are after and the one thing they cannot touch while you remain faithful.

around 6 years old and I am 40 now. I have studied the paranormal and demonology for a lot of years to try and understand these things better. This is just a personal theory. Sounds like you have some dark entities that are trying hard to win you from the faith of God and goodness. Demons are very tricky and their whole existance is to sway humans from God and to the dark side. Keep your faith strong and they will tire of you and move on. Like I said just a personal theory. Good luck to you and GOD BlESS YOU.
PHave a nice day!
Holy water/oil anointed on the entrance of the room. You should be able to get this from a church, if you talk to a priest/pastor you should be able to ask for some. Make sure you participate in the blessing of said water/oil.
Hanging a cross above your bed may help as well, similar to the St. Benedict, you need to believe in it.
Good luck.

Kane has obviously been watching a little too much, "Supernatural", on the tele. I love the show too Kane, but you just can't use plain old Mortons house salt. It must be pure rock salt and blessed. I checked this rumor before I posted this.
Anyhoo,good luck and God Bless!
Since you are religious I would say pray pray pray. Pray about it when you think about it. Take great steps to improve your faith if you can. See a priest. He may be able to give some comfort and perhaps a blessing.
Try wearing a medal of Saint Benedict. In my research I have read that a monk who was wearing it was approached by a demon and the demon could not harm him because of the medal. You must believe in its power for it to work. <-Untested.
Try finding a reason why such beings would want to hurt/control you. If you can find it and get rid of it, they might go away. You might also try placing salt along any entrance to where you sleep (i.e. All doors, windows, floor vents, etc.) Supposedly the purity of salt will repel evil spirits and they can't cross a SOLID LINE blocking an entrance. <- Again, untested.
If I find anything in my continuing research that might help I'll let you know. Again, all that I have mentioned are just ideas and I don't know if they'll work. Try them only at your own will. Sorry for the long windedness. Let me know if any of this helps. I hope you find some peace in all this.

I may be able to help a little;
Have you played Ouija or practiced tarot?
And next time you are attacked, try "religious resistance" which is visualizing yourself in Jesus's Light. I have heard it helps, along with Holy Water.
Hope I helped!
Merry Christmas,
