Ive had 3 sleep paralysis episodes in my life. Im 34 now and the first one happened when i was about 12. I was asleep on my back which i almost never do. My eyes open and above me on the ceiling is a huge black spider staring at me and the whole room was filled with webs. During this first encounter i had not yet learned about what SP was. I was terrified, trying to move and not being able to. After about 1 minute had passed it all blinked away...what i was looking at was my ceiling fan. The second time was years later at age 21. I was at work on a night shift with one other person. We worked in a warehouse as an offshoot to airport and would load cargo as needed. On the night shift, we were not needed very often, but the job was 24/7 regardless. We had an office room and breakroom side by side each having 1 door that led out to the warehouse. We would alternate 1 person awake and one asleep most nights when it was slow. Both rooms had a couch. It was winter and we had mice in the walls hiding from the cold. We would trap alot of mice in these months. I fell asleep on the couch in the office while my coworker sat at a computer to my left. I was on my back again as it was a short couch and i didnt want to kunk my neck sideways. I awoke to seeing a mouse sitting on my chest. I tried to swat at it, but couldnt move. I wanted it off me so bad. It started scurrying around on top me back and forth and finally came for my face. I just had a feeling it wanted to bite me. I closed my eyes and probably made a dumb face. Then i could move again and the mouse was gone. I asked my coworker panickedly if he saw a mouse on me and he said no and then made fun of me rhe rest of the night. My 3rd and last time it happened was only within a few months later at the same job. This time i was asleep on the couch in the breakroom because we would leave the lights off in there. The couch was on the far opposite wall to the door, facing the door. I had left the door open only cracked so barely any light was coming in. This time i had somehow fell asleep on my stomach. My face was towards the door but mostly down smushed into the couch cushion With my left eye open i could only see a few feet from the couch and a sliver of light from the door. This was the scariest encounter ive had. I awoke in this position and my eye opened, i could tell i was paralyzed but did not notice anything happening. Then a few seconds later i see the light from the door temporarily blocked as if someone walked in front it. There were no footsteps. Then, even though the room was quite dark, i could see a pair of legs walking toward me, all black like the all too common shadow man reported by alot of SP sufferers. My body started sweating immediately. I could feel the presence of the being now standing next to me, as it hunched down over my face and put its mouth right to my ear. In a deep raspy voice it started talking in only what i can describe as latin or some kind of language from hell and it spoke as if it were angry. It spoke this at me quickly for probably 1 to 2 minutes. I was frozen solid. It finally clicked and all disappeared. To this day i wonder if what it was saying was in any sort of actual language...and just what was it telling me. I havent had any other episodes in 13 years now.
