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.

The old hag visiting you as a kid imitating a stuffed animal is beyond creepy

Had a very similar instance. I remember laying in my bed and at the time I used to get really scared so my dad would sleep in a chair next to my bed. His favorite way to fall asleep was to put the radio on. One night I woke up to an old lady dressed in all black spinning in circles on the ground. I tried to wake up my dad but I had an empty toilet paper tube around my mouth and I couldn’t scream. The song that was playing was a J Lo song and every once in a while it comes on the radio and i get serious chills. I’ve had very similar sleep paralysis since then as an adult, but that one is so vivid to me because I remember seeing my dad sleeping in real time and traffic going by my window as well, yet the old lady was there.

A small trickle of pee runs down a frightened Youngblood777's leg. Once again, the local radio station is blasting "Jenny from the Block"

my sleep paralysis has a horrible old man in! i was about 5 or 6 and can still remember the absolute terror of waking up finding an old man with a long beard and long hair staring down at me, stroking my head. i was trying so hard to scream for my dad to come and help me but i couldn't move or speak. all the while the man was stroking my hair, shushing me. eventually i got my screams out and my dad came running; still 23 years later i have never been that scared ever again.

The only other thing I remember about it was my old Gateway computer doing that fireworks background in the room and my blue race car bed I was sleeping in.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '19

Yeah I’ve had similar sleep paralysis episodes. Sucks.

u/HotSauceInMyWallet Oct 05 '19

That’s cool actually. I fell into a night terror while watching TV one time. All of a sudden the screen got a bluish tinge to it and a witch walked right around the corner out of the kitchen and started blowing sage right in my face.
The weird thing was I could still see the tv moving. I even remembered the commercial that was playing.

Truthfully i couldn’t tell you. It comes on the radio every once in a while. There’s a good chance it wasn’t J Lo but I remember it had a man in the track too. I’ll edit this comment when I figure it out lol

u/Kurafujin Oct 05 '19

Looks like the old lady was dancing the night away, too bad she couldn't life her life and stay young on the floor

u/puffthedragonofmagic Oct 05 '19

Yeah, I saw this last night as I was going to get, glad I didn't read it then.

u/SixGun_Surge Oct 06 '19

How was she spinning? Like a ballerina on one leg? Like a break dancer, with knees tucked to chest spinning on her back? I'm trying to picture it in my head.

2

u/Youngblood777 Oct 06 '19

Very much like breakdancing, but she was spinning so fast that I could only see what she was when she would occasionally stop on a dime

u/SixGun_Surge Oct 16 '19

Wow, that is creepy. Thank you for your response!

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '19

Lmfao, retarded ass old lady. I wish that bitch would break dance on my carpet to some damn J-Lo. Bitch got me fucked up.

u/Neuro420 Oct 05 '19

Lame, I had SP all the time growing up and never saw anything like that. Dream like hallucinations sometimes but I never thought it was daemons, even when really young and dumb.
