When I was younger I used to wake up and see myself sleeping. I could walk down the stairs and mull around my house while out of my body until things started growling and snarling at me.
Things took a dark turn when every night I was plagued by sleep paralysis. I couldn’t move and there was a sharp pain in my back, things that looked like shadowy people were all around me whispering, screeching, all that crazy stuff.
I learned if I forced myself to move I’d wake up, or if I prayed they’d go away. At some point I was able to scream back at them and I’d wake up.
These things happen to me every once in a blue moon. I’m looking at it more so as a disorder than a paranormal thing, though paranormal isn’t completely off the table for me. What do you guys think?
