The witness, 45-year-old Edith P., woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the night light. Still not herself, she went to the bathroom. Then she went back to the bed and turned off the light. 

She was lying on her left side, her right hand lying outside the sheet. She had evidently dozed off, but was soon awakened by strange noises coming from the stairs. After the sound, she heard a loud laugh. Right after that, she felt her entire body go numb. At the same time, she felt a strong blow on her right arm. 

She was able to turn her head and saw a silhouette resembling that of a "dwarf" in a brown pointed cap hanging from one side of his head. She could see the blurry features of the face: a huge beard, a large nose pointing down, and a small mouth just under the nose. She wasn't sure, but she thought that the figure's height was no more than 80 cm; his clothes were also brown. 

Then the figure ran towards the stairs, letting out a louder laugh, its clothes seeming to change color and become slightly luminous. Then he was gone.

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.
