recently one of my friend said that he felt like ghost sat on his chest with pressure and heaviness he could not able to breathe and move for a while this afternoon though i laughed at him first but in reality i too felt same way quite a few months back...
I had this kinda feeling few times in my life some time it happens while in deep sleep when eyes are not opened during this time i could not open my eyes no matter how hard i try to, but most
of the times it happens to me when i am half awake in the sleep that is i can see the things in the room, i could see the bed, ceiling, i could feel everything around me as normal yet still i could not move my hands, turn my head, overall i could simply not move.Though most of the elders attribute this to devils, ghost and god in medical terms it is a phenomenon called "Sleep Paralysis" a state between (Rapid Eye Movement)REM sleep where dream occurs and wakeup time, actually this is our bodies natural defense system to cut the connection between brain and body movement avoiding harming ourselves while we are in dream, but some times delay between different parts of the brain to turn off from dream state and give the body back its movement controls results in hallucination and frightening
After googling for a while i came to know that this kinda a phenomenon is attributed in different way in different culture such as Incubus(if this happens to female) where it is said that male demons try to have a sexual intercourse with female to produce offsprings :) and Succubu(oppoiste to Incubus), Old hag(for an old witch thought to sit on the chest of the paralyzed sleeper) syndrome in Newfoundland, "kokma" in the West Indies (for a ghost baby who jumps on the sleeper's chest and attacks the throat), "kanashibari" in Japan and "gui ya" or ghost pressure in China (because a ghost is believed to sit on and assault the sleeper)etc etc
I believe it as the medical interpretation of body delay in giving back the movementary control in transition from dream state to wake state, but my friend believe it has some spirit or supernatural phenomenon, so what is your theory?

never felt it, except once I had the after effect of anasthesia( i ahd a small sugery) where I did everything like in a trance and didnt remember much afterwards.
Hmmm...
Now I am wondering why I read this post at night time. Never happened to me but now who knows....
Oh maaan me tooo... me tooo me tooo...
but i got to hear sounds too at the time, plus i felt a heat wave come over me. it quite freaks you out. i had to tell my self to calm down and slowly it went away. thanks a ton for findin the technical term for it.
Ok... to tell you.. the sound was that of a man talking to me.
I knew there should be some logical explination for it and supernatural wasn't one of them
I have felt it choke me, and felt it on my chest. I remember hearing the story of the "old hag" before as well. I hear it is supposed to get worse and worse. Also if having this problem it may be "Astral Catalepsy" Gives u the sensation of chest pain and cant breathe! i DO THAT AS WELL...
it is i demon baby im going to kill u in your sleep
hahaha...........i have lot of frnds in this case
sometimes it may supernatural .........i felt it may the attack of evil when we live the belive of god
Had the same thing just last night, hence the search to find out what it was. Really quite frightening when it happened, and just goes to show just how powerful the mind is. Thanks for finding the medical explanation, helps rationalize what just happened a great deal.
In between stage 1 of sleep and being awake some people experience hynogogic hallucinations. Hypnogogic jerks are the twitches you may feel while you're falling asleep. The hallucinations are just those... you hallucinate, and often times you may feel like someone is sitting on your chest. I get experience this all the time. It may have a lot to do with anxiety.
i personally dont believe that it is psychological i feel its supernatural... not denying that the defense system might break the body contact with brain.. this is possible but will someone see a figure on the chest due to this or for that matter see the exact time in the night when this happens along with the same scenario of the ceiling, bed when u wake its the exact same thing... how can someone explain this. for things that no one can explain immediately a psychological reason is attached to it simplifying it.
I have this kind of experience very frequently atleast twice in a week. :( Feels like someone try to get inside me and though my real self out. i mean he wanted to take over on my body. I felt also he is pulling my shirt and want me throw out of bed..
THIS JUST START HAPPENING I WAS ON MY COUCH SLEEP ON MY BACK AND THEN I WOKE UP AND TRIED TO GET UP IM POSITIVE I WAS UP CAUSE I SAW MY MOM ON COMPUTER AND WHAT WAS ON TV I COULD ONLY MOVE MY EYES AND BREATHE THATS IT I LOOKED AT MY ARM BUT CLOULD MOVE IT NO MATTER WHAT THEN I SAW A SHADOW OF A MAN WALK CLOSE TO MY FEET TRIED YELLING TO MY MOM BUT COULDNT THEN THE EVIL SHADOW START LAUGHING AT ME AND WALKED IN MY ROOM THEN I FINALLY MOVED MY ARMS AND LEGS AND STARTED TELLING MY MOM BUT SHE SAID SHE DIDNT HEAR ME I WENT TO SLEEP IN 5 MORE MIN BUT TOLD HER 2 WAKE ME UP IN 2 MIN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT NEXT TIME YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO STRUGGLE OR U WILL LOOSE AIR AND CHOKE A LITTLE BIT U JUST HAVE TO MOVE SMALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY LIKE TOES AND EYE BROWS AND NO MATTER WHAT U SEE U HAVE 2 STAY CALM
It happens if you sleep face up and hands on the chest in open air. It happens to males also and it is not sexual in any way.
craz
No this is true the scientfic explanation makes it sound simple but d fact is its beyond science. Our body is just matter for the real power our Soul if it leaves our body we die. But it needs its time so wen v go into rem sleep whch is 6times a nite it leaves us and sees what it wants to see. Thts why at times we go to a place for the 1st time we sumtimes feel we been thr b4, cause our soul has. Sumtimes our body tries to awaken wen the soul is not there thats the time we experience all these things. Never force urslf to awaken jes lie still neway u cannot move if u do n ur soul is not yet back ur going to die with a heart attack. 75% ppl who die wit heart attacks get them in their sleep so beware. I can share so much wit u ppl on my personal science calls them outerbody expirences. So if it hpns 2 u evr ur going 2 rembr me n ths article trust me u will. Lay sillent enjoy d exprnc n ask ur soul to return as u want to wake up it will return. You will feel a rush of heat frm ur right shoulder going to the center of your chest :) its a nice feel. Souls are vry nice dont fear thm n dnt mess with them.......... I did n paid the price for it......
This happened to me this morning. It was a bit creepy, considering that i had just had a nightmare about two dead girls... But thanks for clearing that up for me.
I had this happen to me this morning at around 4am. It is the second time I have felt this in my life. The first time was a few years ago. This time round it felt worse and felt as if it went on for longer. I was completely paralyzed! Could not move a thing. I was trying to reach out to my girlfriend but I could not move. I started to panic and tried to shout to her for help but I could just about make enough noise to wake her. As soon as she pushed me I broke out of the paralysed state. It has freaked me out. I can laugh about it though but just dread it happening again. I heard it is related to/caused by stress. D
Believe what you want, but I call this demonic attack. I can relate to the shadow of a being, feeling completely tied up like in a strait jacket, innability to move or talk, and an overwhelming sense of fear. this is a spiritual attack from the demonic realm. My best advice to you is to call on Jesus to help you deal with this situation. I hope you will become a believer in Christ because I believe he is the only ally you will have to help you with this situation. The ennemi does not want to be found out and will use this tack tic only as a last resource. Somehow we do things that open the door for those demon to come and attack us but we usuallly are oblivious to what we are doing and the consequences of our sins. My best advice to you is ask God to reveal to you why this has happen, how you open the door for this spiritual attack, ask for forgiveness, repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. If you are not sure about how to do this go to a Christian Church and speak to a Pastor about this and see what he sais to you about all this. You can ask him questions about the Bible, Jesus Christ as your Saviour and opression from the ennemi or what I call spiritual warfare. Bless you. P.S. You can always call on Jesus name to come and help you with this. He hears even your thoughts and will respond quickly, but you have got to have faith in Jesus for this to work. Bless you.

yes, I too had such experience very often ...couldnt move for an inch, wanted to cry but unable to make even a small cry , a state of devilish really...
i have had this weird feeling for the past 2 mornings, each morning i have woken up, with a very heavy feeling on my chest, as if someone has been sitting on it all night, it's a weird feeling and wears off about 2 hours after i've woken up....... can anyone help?
My experience was similar. I was baby sitting my cousin two kids one night and after I put them to sleep in they're room I laid down on the coach and watch t.v. Next thing I know I could see the pantry door open in the kitchen, where the kitchen pantry door wasn't visible from where i was. And when it open I saw this trace it moved fast and it moved directly towards me and it hit my chest, when it hit my chest my eyes open my whole body was paralyze , i tried moving my arms but couldn't. So I tried screaming for the kids to wake up, and i couldn't scream, So i tried moving my arms, I tried with everything I got and lifted my arms up and I flipped it off and when I did that everything just stopped and i came into a normal state again.. It was weird because when people talked about it I also laugh and said yeah right what ever.. but when it happened i turn into a believer...
it is a sleep apneoa
few reason behind this phenomenon,
during sleep your hand rest on your chest and due to bad dreams,it last for 10 to 12 second.
1)I Feel Some Is Sitting On Me, Some Times I Got Up From My Body, Discuss With My Friends Souls, Saying That I Could Not Able To Stand Properly , Feel Differently. And Again Come Back To Same Position.2)this experience is too strange, my dead grandma came to me and Sat beside to me in dream, consciously i found in sleep, that she was dead before 4years. immediate i prayed to GOD “OHM ”out side by closing my eyes, in this moment the dream is running.my grandma, she has moved away from me in dream.
i also felt this experience once but wnot in sleep.
i was in deep sleep and suddenly i felt something on my chest i opened my eyes and to my surprise my bodly was totaly frezzed . all i was able to move was my pupils (eye) . then after some time after struggling a lot went to sleep again without any fuss
This just happened to me three times in a row. I kept changing positions and it didn't help. It was only a ten minute span for all three. I feel like my room is possessed. And it is a horrifying feeling too. And im only 16 years old and it's freaking me out. I can't fall asleep tonight without that feeling.
This happened to me too once and I think it is all spiritual.. I was at my parents house sleeping, my dad at the time was extremely sick stage four lung cancer and bone cancer. me and my siblings were staying overnight in the event he was to pass. I was sleeping next to my sister when I felt a presence in the room. I saw a shadow of an older women and a young boy. I now believe it was his mom and young brother that passed years ago waiting for him. Next thing you know I could not move speak breath I felt as the boy was on me perhaps he noticed I got a glimpse of him. I tried to push him off and yell my sisters name next to me but couldn't, only moan. A few moments later I finally pushed him off or he simply left. I have never in my life felt like that or even believed in after life. My dad died days later but since the passing of my dad I have seen felt differently. I do believe now our loved ones come for us when it s our time, the moment my dad passed we were by his bed side it was extremely hot that day no wind or breeze. Seconds before he took his final breath a breeze flew through the window which was open next to him circled the room and departed. Of course we were all stricken with grief and didn't mention it till later but the shade closed and none of us shut it. I now know that they came and took him and that it was his way of telling us he was leaving us. I do believe he is in a good place and I do have faith that I will see him again
