I've heard of sleep paralysis and I do believe that when people talk about being abducted by aliens or when they're experiencing ghostly encounters are really just experiencing sleep paralysis, but I've had that happen to me before but nothing like what I posted.ElephantGuts said:EDIT: Quotes got fucked up.

I'm picking my last thread to read before bed and this is what I choose!? I'll never get to sleep now...
I found the caption picture hilarious.
I don't think that's creepy or unexplainable. More like tragic and highly illegal. Sorry to hear that. But you know what they say, you can't trust southerners.Suiseiseki IRL said:During my school district's "Prank Week" several students from South High were in the habit of nabbing North High students (my school) off the street, taping them up, and dropping them off in front of North High.
Well one afternoon a van pulls up to the curb. Two people jump out, grab me, pull me into the van, close the door, and drive off. They then wrapped my feet and arms in duct tape and covered my mouth. They then decided to pass me around like a joint, taking turns groping me and laughing while doing it. Five to ten minutes later the door slides open and out I'm tossed in front of the school.
And that also sounds like it could have been due to sleep paralysis. See my earlier link to Wikipedia. Or, you know. Just go to Wikipedia.Julianking93 said:Last week, I was sleeping in the bed, it was 3:47. I just woke up for some reason (nothing weird there, I wake up sometimes in the night) but the second I did, the power went out. It was weird because it wasn't raining. But the strangest part was when the power would come on and off. It would flicker on and off really quickly like a strobe light almost.
It became pitch black and when the power would come back on, it would be abnormally bright. And, the lights that I always leave off at night, would turn on, including the fan. I was in bed the whole time and it almost felt like I couldn't move. I could move my head though.
But just before the power came back on for good, I saw a bright, misty figure standing on the side of my bed. Add flickering lights and some strange figure not a foot away from me and I was petrified. Then, it's eyes glowed bright blue, and vanished when the power came on for good. I could move again and the figure was no where in sight.
The next thing I know, it's 9 in the morning, its bright outside and all of the lights are on. Including the one's that I left off the night before. Even my cable box and my TV were on.
I almost dismissed it as a dream until I woke up and saw the lights and TV on and what channel the TV was on.
It was on Bio and a special was on about paranormal happenings.
But, it could have been a dream, but it just seemed so real. Along with what happened in the morning and that my dad told me there was a power outage the night before.
