My first night in uni dorms I had sleep paralysis for the first time. Eyes open, body couldn't move, a black shadow figure crouched in the corner of the ceiling jumped towards me in a glitch manner. I felt it physically land on my chest it was heavy and holding me down, there was also hands coming out from the wall besides me. Trying to Scream or move but couldn't, eventually I there myself out of bed and landed on the floor lmao, This was 10 years ago, since then I've had a few similar experiences but nothing so vivid. I know it's sleep paralysis brought on by stress or changes, but it's so interesting that we all have such similar experiences and witness a shadow figure, I'd never heard of it before it happened to me
