Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Unexplained Mysteries > Ghosts, Hauntings & The Paranormal
Hello all, I'm new to the forums but not to paranormal experiences. I live in a small apartment and have been here for about 4 years now. I started experiencing unexplainable things early on. My experiences were always playful though, so I never worried about it. Over the past year however, my life has taken a dark turn. I have begun to have negative experiences in my bedroom, mostly when I'm in a stationary position during sleep. I've always been very sensitive to different energies, and started to feel a presence hovering above me while sleeping. Initially, the presence would get close to me, and I could always tell because my ears would begin to ring and the closer the energy got to my head, the louder the ringing became. I began talking to the energy, telling it to let me sleep, but the events became even more pronounced.
Welcome! I don't have any advice. Have you tried sleeping in other rooms? Are you sure this is something paranormal and not something with your body, like muscle spasms?

Thank you for replying, this is a serious issue for me right now. This is definitely not muscle spasms. As I have noted I have had other paranormal experiences, such as traveling out of body and seeing spirit figures in the "in-between" state. I am a 32 year old male, and know my body and surroundings. This is why these experiences are concerning me so much. It's as if I can't get any peace, whether at home or away from home.

To me it sounds like someone has latched onto you and is looking to you for comfort/contact. By acknowledging it you 'let' it in. Now, you need to get rid of it. I have never had to do this, but there are others on here who can hopefully give you some more help in that area.

Yes! Yes! Thank you. I have noticed that since I acknowledged this presence, the contact has become more palpable. This past weekend I was awakened numerous times with the feeling of this pressure on my body. No matter what position I'm sleeping in I feel this pressure. Saturday night I was awakened by the painful feeling of a thumb being firmly pressed into my side. It was so strong that after I awoke that point on my body continued to pulsate for hours. Please not that all of these occurrances have been unique. I have NEVER felt this type of pressure on my body while sleeping or had this type of ringing in my ears while lying down. I do believe this presence is female because I have seen 2 images of her face while in the in-between state over the past 2 weeks.

I read of an account, a long time ago about a woman who was experiencing a similar situation and she had to have it exorcised. The psychic said that it was a lover from a past life and he was trying to kill her so that they could be together. Not sure that I believe that explanation, but, hey, weirder things have happened. Another one I read was that a little girl had been killed and she went to an older friend and held onto her because she was terrified and didn't understand what had happened to her. So, she had to be helped to pass on. Has any died lately that you might have known? It is a possibility.
Personally, if I ever feel a little nervous or scared, I imagine that I am in a white light, supposedly this scares away anything that is dark-light cancels out darkness. Other than that, not much I can tell you. I hope you get it figured out though, it seems rather scary.
What is an "in-between state?"
The in-between state is what I consider the place where consciousness and unconsciousness exist together. I think in this place, we can experience other planes of existence that coexist with the dense, physical world that we know so well.

I am so sorry you are going through this, and I know how horrific it can be. I would say first and foremost, have your apartment and or building blessed, by an experienced team of clergy. Secondly, pray to yourself ALL the time and out loud, whether it be the Lord's Prayer or Prayer to St. Michael, say it over and over again and put IT in God's hands. When you go to your room at night speak out "this is MY space, please leave" and pray some more. Believe what you say, and say what you believe. You have more control in your little finger than that does all together and try not to let your guard down. Be strong, be brave and be self assertive, with prayer and guidance. I used to sort of say to myself in bed "I refuse to let you near me, go away" over and over and over again. That allowed me to feel stronger, and take it's power away. If you feel it near your space, simply say either outloud or to yourself "GO AWAY" (put your arms out straingt) and pray. Believe it or not, it can work. What happens is these things wear us down, emotionally, physically and then we can include sleep deprivation along with it. Then we are more vulnerable, and endure some sleep paralyisis as well. PLEASE try all those things, and let us know how you are doing. I will include you in my prayers....JN

This is a good and simple way to protect yourself. There are many various ways of doing this but they all generally have you imagining each part of your body becoming infused with bright white light. Typically you then imagine this light encompassing you in a sphere around you, and you hold that image mentally. It protects you like a shield.
Other things you can do - speak aloud to it and tell it to go.
Communicate with your spirit guides and enlist their help in protecting you and moving it on.
Use protective items around the area where you sleep - black tourmaline, a bowl of salt, white candles and also burn white sage in the room.

I've had this problem before. You are suffering from sleep paralysis, but its what's causing the sleep paralysis that's the problem. When dealing with the magnetic fields you have to change yours so that you can push the entity away. It does take a lot of effort sometimes to push it away completely.
Once I've pushed one away completely the same one has never come back.

It's really not always that simple. I get SP when I am in a great mood. A while back I created a thread of all the things I could think of that caused SP. Stress was only 1 out of 5 or so.
Try it ! i'll guarantee anyone, no more sleep paralysis.
I have 6 SP during the last 18 years.
But before...3 times a week.
After removing all my worries, it's gone !

However Fonz, she does not suffer from SP during the day while at work and or doing things around the house? Huh, does she huh? LOL...
I agree it could be SP or hypnogogic sensations but if this occurs out of sleep time as well then there's something more going on here. The sensations you describe do sound like a spirit energy coming in too close. But then again, this could be health related as well 
You shouldn't outrule getting a check up.
Like loonboy said you can learn methods to shield and ground yourself. This is a great page that goes into it here

I've had a similar experience, but not so insistent. I fill myself with energy, I refuse it. Its like willing it to leave you alone. You leave no doubt, you FORCE it away. Learning to harness chi, magic or whatever you know it by, is good for this. Whenever it happens, center yourself, and show no fear.

Agreed!
I read you think it is female. Don't be fooled this could just be a ploy to lower your defences. It appears that you are being weakened for a hostile take over.
Thank you all so much for the concern and replies. I will definitely heed all of your advice about this issue. I still experienced the pressure in my upper chest area last night, and a bit while at work this morning. I also had a great meditation session this morning for about 2 hours. During this time I spoke aloud to this energy, asking what it wanted from me and letting it know that I did not want to disrespect it. About a week ago I taunted it, out of frustration, and I now know that it wasn't the right way to approach the situation.
[indent]I am a very strong energy and will not allow myself to be afraid of the situation. I think also that this presence may be trying to help me change some negative aspects of my life as well, so it may not be as malicious as I initially thought.

I didn't read all the responses so this may already have been mentioned. The experiences you are having while you are in bed sound very much like sleep paraylis. I suffer from this too and it can be pretty frightening and unnerving when it is happening but I do not think it is a paranormal occurance. If you research sleep paralysis a little you will find that it has been studied pretty extensively by scientists and there is a lot of information out there for you to read.
Yes, I have also experienced sleep paralysis, and what I have been experiencing is not sleep paralysis. The events I described about this presence attaching itself to me were proceeded by blatant poltergeist activity in my bedroom. Once I acknowledged this presence, it started to make contact more often and with greater ease. Many of the experiences of heaviness on my body occurred when I was fully awake. Events such as these cannot always be explained by "sleep paralysis". Too often we try to downplay the magnitude of these events with medical conditions or behavioral problems. Although the medical perspective is very relevant, I believe that we have been socialized to hold onto an air of disbelief when confronted with events such as hauntings or visitations, whether positive or negative.
Maybe someone else can add to this discussion, I'm always willing to learn.
