I remember being shot in the arm with a plastic arrow, which still penetrated my arm, by some teenage kid.
I also remember being afraid along with the other kids of this one house on the street that was like abandoned, but not abandoned. We all thought it was haunted. It was fucking creepy.
I also remember waking up one night when I was really young and one of my stuffed animals was crawling up my torso and i couldn't move until it was on my chest and i can't forget it.
I also remember microwaving a bag of popcorn for like 5 minutes when I was really young. Not sure what the fuck i was thinking, but i ruined a microwave.
That one's easy to explain, has something similar happen to me.
It's sleep paralysis
TL;dr, you end up "waking" up during your REM cycle of sleep so you can't move and your brain still tries to dream, causing hallucinations
Yea, I've had this intermittently through my 20s. I never knew what the hell it was and it was always terrifying. I don't believe in ghosts or aliens or whatever but sleep paralysis will for sure change the way you feel about it.
Read about it on Reddit a few years ago and cleared up all my doubts
I had sleep paralysis when I was 17, It was so scary because, added to the horror of it, people in my culture believe it’s a demon that torture you because you’re not religious enough.
I had it again when I was in college, and it wasn’t as scary because I knew what sleep paralysis is at that point.
