The Dark Figure
by Jason T.

About five years ago, I had my first experience of sleep paralysis. I was sleeping on my back when I awoke to find a dark figure standing over me. I was unable to move or speak/scream. As I looked up at the figure, something reached from under my bed across my body, grabbed my shoulder and pulled me off the bed. The moment that I hit the floor, I was able to move again.

Another of the many occurrences happened when I was dreaming that I was talking to my cousin and his girlfriend in my living room when I felt the figure coming. (I can usually feel it happening or about to happen because I can hear and feel vibrations.) I told them that he had come and that I was going to deal with him. I walked into my room and looked down at my bed to see myself lying there trying to move my hand. At the same time, the figure was standing over me. While watching this, I also became paralyzed, trying to move my hand and there was another figure standing next to me. About three months after that, I confronted the figure and hadn't seen or heard from it for about 14 months, but know it has in a sense come back. I haven't seen the figure, but have awoken paralyzed sensing it nearby. I know that I will have to confront it again, but it is very hard with the intense fear that comes when it is around.
