Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date: 
04.02.1982
Location: 
Графство Тайрон
Ireland

The witness suddenly woke up after hearing a strange noise. Then he noticed that his bedroom was slightly distorted. 

Thinking it was a dream, he fell asleep again, but woke up later and noticed a dark figure standing in the corner of the room. As he tried to move, he realized that he was paralyzed, but after some effort, he managed to get up and noticed a short, dark male figure, apparently without a neck and with long hair. 

The figure approached the witness and turned sideways, opening two large faceted eyes that widened and closed and had a black pupil like a keyhole. The creature made a purring sound. 

Then the creature melted into the wall and disappeared, then the room brightened and returned to normal.

The witness suddenly woke up after hearing a strange noise; he then noted that his bedroom was slightly distorted. Thinking he was dreaming he went back to sleep but woke up later and noticed a shadowy figure standing in the corner of the room. As he tried to move he realized he was paralyzed, but after some effort he was able to prop himself up and noticed a short dark male figure, apparently without a neck and with long hair. The figure came towards the witness and turned sideways revealing two large faceted eyes, which widened and closed and had a black keyhole-like pupil. The creature made a purring like sound. The creature then blended into the wall and vanished, the room then brightened and returned to normal.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Сонный паралич

  • In a moment, the man suddenly feels on top he bore down on something very hard and does not allow him to breathe, as if strangling.
  • Quite often people say that in that moment, when they sleep, they feel that they can move neither head, nor foot, nor arm, literally nothing. Among other things, a person becomes unbearable fear.

The state of sleep and dreams

Sleep is a natural physiological process of stay in a condition with minimal level of brain activity and reduced reaction to the world around us.
