Hearing a bears breaths as I was laying in my tent. I saw the tracks in the morning… but I also smelled it as I laid there awake.

Sleep paralysis. My worst episode was realizing I was full sp mode with my face stuck in the wedge of cushions on my couch. Couldn’t breathe and couldn’t move. Figured I’d snap out of it once I started dying. To make matters worse my family was in the room- I could hear them talking but couldn’t get their attention.

I woke up from a pretty dead sleep to hear my dog growling at the corner of my room. I lifted my head and saw what looked like an alien with these ridges down its spine, sharp teeth and large eyes. It hissed and rushed the bed and next thing I knew I blacked out. Who knows how long later but I suddenly came to, my dog was now outside of my room whining to be let in and once she was she licked my face and whimpered. When I went back to sleep I had a dream about my spine being pushed forward to my stomach. Freaks me out to this day.

Not me but when I was younger I used to sneak into my sister’s room while she was sleeping and surround her bed with autobiographies and biographies, basically any books with faces on the cover. I’d turn on the light and she’d wake up to see twenty~odd celebrities staring at her in her sleep, she screamed like a jackal!
