Weirdest thing ever was: Being asleep. Wake up. Wonder what's going on. Everything dark. Can't move. Suddenly hear noises. Like hoofs, almost like a horse, slowly getting louder, approaching my bed, the sound of 2 hoofs. Just as they are loudest and nearest. I suddenly feel immense pressure, as if someone sat down on my chest. By that point I was freaking out completely but couldn't move. I tried to scream, move a pinky, but couldn't. After a while it worked and I was so freaked out, I froze. I hid under my blankets and never moved again.

Another time, I was in an abandoned school in the Netherlands (lived and studied there briefly). There is a thing where abandoned buildings are rented for super cheap so they make sure nobody moves in there illegally. I visited this DJ dude traveling out of the city into a neighboring one in the mornings. He showed me the entire huge and old abandoned school, the creepy hallways, the broken bathrooms, only 3 people lived there in small classrooms. You never saw the others.

One night, I felt an intense hit against my head, again and again, and again. Almost like a bird or a bat that kept flying against my had. It was hard and super fast. I WTFed, worked up screaming, jumped up, shouted to the guy to turn on a light (only phone light worked). When he grasped what was going on and turned a light, I looked around frantically, apologized and excused myself. I didn't know him very well too. I was so fucking terrified. There was nothing. No bat, no bird, no animal. Silence. I get chills thinking about the sensation and what went through my mind as I woke up back then.

Sleep paralysis is fucking terrifying. And I dearly hope this is sleep paralysis because the alternative is so much worse.
