The odd story on sleep paralysis

Hey People!

Special greetings to you all. Hope you're good?

I came across an article this morning and it got me wondering because it's totally the opposite of what I/we have believed to be true. You can read it here, article by @baned

I grew up to believe that witches have a way of attacking while someone is at sleep, it's more like a spiritual attack but it happens only during sleep and usually at night.

The movie also contributed alot to this believe because they portrayed this character very well.

I watched a lot of movies where a witch transformed into an animal (a beast) and went to where the victim is, started pressing the person on the neck trying to stop her from breathing and the person would be rumbling from dreamland trying to get off the beast from her neck while everything is being pictured or displayed on the dreamland.(I mean the victim would be seeing everything on the dream while the manifestation of the witch is real in the real world). The victim succeeds and wake up, she will be grasping for breathe cos she just defeated a demon in her fight in the dreamland. In as much as it looked like a dream, the scratches of the beast on her body will appear physically on the body and that makes it obvious that it was truely a spiritual attack. ANYWAYS, THAT'S FOR MOVIES.

COMING TO REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES...

My mom and neighbours have confirmed to the realness of this demonic attack in the dream that comes out to be real in the real life. They ones told us stories of their various attacks. They said they their enemies would come in the form of an animal (often times pussy cat) to fight with them in the dream and which they'll be rumbling on the bed in the real world. They said also that some time these demons are often times their enemies because they come in human form too. After a long tough Battle of survival, the demon give up if the person refuses to die and that's the moment they wake up to see that it was a dream, and not just that but they'd see sweat all over them to testify that really they just finished a battle.

All these things made me wondered alot. I'm totally person that give attention to these kind of superstitious talks. I've been wanting to have this kind of experience to see its realness. Yeah, I really want to experiment all these💪 to see if what these people have cooked up in their stories are real or just fallacy.

So when I read Baned's article this morning, he pointed that all those fights in the Dreamland that make people think that spirits are pressing them on the neck or fighting them are placed on what's called SLEEP PARALYSIS.

And this sleep paralysis is being caused when someone has been deprived of sleep for a long term coupled with Hardwork. I didn't make researches to relate more to what he said but I gave it a deep thought to see that it might be true because people in my village are known for hardwork (farming). I don't mean the kind of farm work you do in your backyard, but the one that's attached to the source of income for a whole family...you can imagine it now. I remember those days we used to go to farm for straight four days, afterwards the waist would be like it's being tied to a bag of cement and hard to bend down hahah.

If it's really true that those stories from the village about being attacked by a spirit are just mere assumption, then I'll call my mom to give her the full lecture.

Before I drop my keyboard, there is another Experience I heard and saw the victim. Rat chopping the part of a body(usually the palm of the leg) while the person is sleeping. You've heard of this?🥱

Thanks for reading
