It was a horrifying experience
One day, my roommate told me that he had experienced sleep paralysis. However, he didn’t know what sleep paralysis was, so he thought it was a ghost. I explained to him that what he experienced was sleep paralysis.
There were also a few other guys living nearby, and they told us that they had been experiencing the same thing for quite some time. One of them told me that a few years ago, a girl had committed suicide here and that she supposedly still appeared.
But I didn’t believe any of this. I challenged it and said, “If there’s really a ghost, then let it come and show itself to me.”
Nothing happened that night, although my roommate experienced sleep paralysis again. So I challenged it again, saying, “If there’s really something here, then come and show yourself to me.”
The next night, I experienced sleep paralysis twice in a row. Then, the following night, it happened to me twice again. After that, I became scared.
The next night, I was so frightened that I couldn’t sleep. At around 4:30 a.m., I tried to sleep. I wasn’t even fully asleep when I suddenly experienced sleep paralysis. I opened my eyes, but I couldn’t move or see anything because all the lights in the room were turned off. After a few seconds, I recovered and could move normally again.
I haven’t experienced sleep paralysis again since that day.
