Dear readers, this is my third story submitted to this website. Just a couple of weeks ago, I submitted a story called Paranormal House. Just after typing in that story, I decided to read some other stories on this site and I came across a story about demon hauntings at night and that reminded me of a memory that I had almost completely blocked from my memory because I thought I was crazy and that I was the only one that had experienced such things. I soon began reading more and more stories about the same subject and I also watched some documentaries about it too. So, these are the memories that I had pretty much forgotten until now.
When I was little, I remember that I used to fear the dark terribly (and I actually still do, because of this). Whenever my grandmother would put me to bed, I would cry before she left the room and ask her to please leave the light on. But sometimes, she wouldn't leave the light on and she would also shut the door, and that's when the attacks would begin. I would be lying there, trying to get to sleep, then all of the sudden, I could feel it coming over me. The feeling that I was becoming paralyzed from the feet up. I could suddenly hear tons and tons of voices carrying on outside my door and then in my room and then, everything would become silent, but I still couldn't move or talk or close my eyes. Then, I would start to see the image of a dark and disfigured face of what I knew was a demon (even though I was very young at this time) and he would start talking to me in this very scary and deep voice. He sounded very threatening! Anyway, I haven't had these attacks in years, but the memories are so very vivid. Anyway, I have discovered that this is called sleep paralysis. The documentaries I was watching are all over YouTube.
Please tell me if you think I'm crazy, or is there anyway you can relate to my story?

It was about 10 am, I was lying in my bed awake, and sort of drifting off. I started noticing some kind of thumping on the end of my bed as if someone was slighty hitting it. I didn't really think much of it so I never bothered to look. After about 5 or so thumps, this overwhelming force suddenly washed over my whole body from my feet upwards. I instantly felt cold, goosebumps shot up all over me, and I now felt unable to move (like the infamous sleep paralysis). I tried to call out but couldn't and I felt suffocated and paralysed. Then almost as suddenly as it started, it was over.
I'm not really sure what to believe here; although I firmly believe in the paranormal, I'm still not quite sure wether it was paranormal or not. Maybe it was just a crazy half asleep dream. Either way, it freaked me out.
