The witness was asleep when he suddenly woke up, making a strange growling sound, and his body shook. 

He opened his eyes and saw a dark-robed, hooded figure standing over him. He was standing in front of the window, and the light from the street lamp seemed to pass right through the creature. 

It had round, very large eyes, at least three times the size of normal ones, and they glowed with a black glow. His eyes were completely black, but they shone brightly. The eyes and face were expressionless and stared coldly at the witness. The entity never spoke or touched the witness. 

The witness was partially paralyzed and struggled to free himself. At last he was able to break free, sprang to his feet, and struck a blow with his fist at the figure, but it had evidently disappeared from view.

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.
