I have been posting sleep paralsyis questions on disccusion forums

First of all, I know I still have not summed up the documentary yet, it is in rough draft, and will hopefully get that up for you soon.

I have been trying to find as many discussion forums as possible asking the following question

I am currently studying sleep paralysis AKA old hag. Sleep paralysis with a "supernatural twist" which is when you are just about to fall asleep and you are suddenly paralyzed. You feel a menacing presence either in your room or entering your room. Mostly it is a black robed figure that stands beside your bed, and you feel complete terror while the presence is in your room. You will sometimes hear whispering in your hear and much more. If you have had these experiences, please respond.

The response has been really surprising. I was thinking I would get one or two hits, but I have really gotten a lot of feedback that I am trying to copy their experiences over to the old-hag forum, so they will be in one place versus, 20 different discussion forums. You can read some encounters that I have pasted here

I hope to be able to put some time in the web site /forum to add a ton of research that I have gathered for you very soon as well. As always please provide any feedback the good and the ugly to admin@old-hag.com

Thanks Again and don't forget that praying does help. It is proven that in most cases praying releases you from the paralysis....

Remember also this occurs globally as there are names around the world for the same occurrences, this could not be as we all have different cultures, and are nightmares would change according to our cultural beliefs.

here is a name for these events all over the world, for instance in

* In Tamil and Sri Lankan Culture, this particular phenomenon is referred to as 'Amuku Be" or 'Amuku Pei' meaning "the ghost that forces one down.

* In Malay of Malay Peninsula, sleep paralysis is known as 'kena tindih'(or 'ketindihan' in Indonesia), which means "being pressed Incidents are commonly considered to be the work of a malign agency; occurring in what are explained as blind spots in the field of vision, they are reported as demonic figures.

* In Newfoundland and Labrador, it is known as the 'Old Hag' In island folklore, the Hag can be summoned to attack a third party, like a curse. It is also believed in thier local culture the way to call the Hag is to recite the Lord's Prayer backwards.

One final note, I have checked out about 30 books from the library from Freud to dream interpretation, so please check back often, for more compelling evidence.
