Shadow
Hi everyone I'm new to this site.... Well about 2 weeks ago on a Monday I went to bed as usual around 10pm and this is where it begins.
I woke up to a dream later that night around 11:47. I can't remember what that dream was about but I had uneasy feeling about it. Anyways, I managed to fall asleep again. Sometime later I woke up to a nightmare and this one I can remember. It was about a pair of hands chocking me and I remember hearing a voice that said something along the lines of "it can hurt you", and then I woke up. This is when things got scary.
When I woke I saw a dark figure at the foot of my bed. This thing was huge! It covered the view of my door (my bed is in front of my bedroom door) completely. I couldn't move or make a sound. IDK if it was because I was terrified, or for some other reason. Well back to the thing... The whole time, which seemed like forever, it didn't move and I remember closing my eyes hoping that it would go away. I did this a couple of times, but it was still there. I closed my eyes again this time asking god to protect me in my time of need after a while I managed the courage to open my eyes and it was gone I immediately went for the lights.
During the whole encounter I had the strong feeling that this thing could hurt me and when it was over I felt completely drained.
After that night nothing has happened like it. I want to know if anyone has had any experiences like this, or what it was. Oh and I am sorry about the long read
thank you in advance.

If there is indeed something in your home trying to get your attention and you feel like you need help, check the internet for a local ghost investigation organization. (If they don't do it for free, don't let them in!) There are lots of caring people out there who can come in and investigate your experiences along with you to give you some peace of mind, and perhaps a better night's rest!
Best of luck to you.

Far from alone. If you've been browsing this site's stories, there's a ton of 'em with the same plotline. Espenolle is right when he calls it 'sleep paralysis' but WHAT that thing is exactly is still up for debate. Espenolle's suggestions are on target: you can go down the medical road and see a doc (don't need a shrink, you're not crazy), spiritual (get a holy person if that's your thing), or call in an investigation to help confirm if there is something in your home or not. As scary as the encounter was, remember that even if you get the feeling that it 'can' hurt you, in most cases they never do.

Ignore the terrible grammar when I say, 'in most cases, they never do'. That was dumb.

It is good that u called on "god" but most of them time ( not trying to break any ones religon) but it was your own energy trying to force the thing away from you (good thing you are stronged willed) Thats why u felt so drain the demon/shadow thing must of been strong.

I've had similar experiences- I once lived in a place that that happened almost every night. I've always found that asking God for protection works.

God may not be able to help..no offence i think something is upon us all. Very scary coz things like this have been happening to me at school. boy in the class are calling me crazy and the girls call me deluded i have a school phsyciatrist and i am a crazy but things are upon and i have seen them everywhere this illusion is actually a supernatural force coming down on us...

i beleive your story about the shadow but you might want to try sprinkling a full circle of pure salt boiled in holy water (sounds crazy but it tends to help in these sorts of situations) and if it does not help TRY NOT TO ANGER THE ENTITY! Angering the entity will only fuel the it. if tou have any more problems send a email to me at lordcal@embarqmail.com

What you had was something called sleep paralysis.... that occurs when your in something called REM sleep REM stands for rapid eye movement, when your in a deep sleep you dream and your eyes mive rapidly, sometimes when your in this dream state you can wake up still feeling like your in that dream. That is why you body is paralysed the body paralyses itself to protect you from acting out your dreams, I believe in all this too a tee but I cant explain why a demon appears and attacks you, some see aliens too.... its real to me and I believe they attack at that moment cuz your you most vonroable
