Everyone has nightmares, but few have actual night terrors. Is it possible that night terrors are the work of demons or otherkind?

Think you'll find it's your suconscious.

it can be a the work of a spirit, maybe demonic

I think night terrors are the demons of your nightmares. I think that they are close together. Just night terrors are more violent

I had night terrors starting before age 4, and they continued until I was 19 or 20...

I remember being afraid to close my eyes at night because it meant that sleep would come... Waking up with bruises, scratches, bald spots from handfulls of hair pulled out of my head... but no hair in the bedding...

i believe that night terrors are the work of demons or something else along that line.. specially when something happens to you in a dream and your body actually suffers the damage from it...

can't say that i've heard it being called night terrors before... usually when i have really bad nightmares i wake up with a blanket wrapped firmly around my neck or my throat has swelled to the point my necklace is choking me. when i was younger i got bruises and cuts.

I've never expierenced that but hmm I cud immagine man freaky *_*
but hmm I wud like to experience it
I rekon its an outer body expierence :D
Yall dont realise the evil inside -_-

LOL Believe me, you ~don't~ want to experience it! Waking the neighbors with your screams... Never knowing what true rest is... Explaining to teachers that you honestly don't know where the bruises and scratches came from, that it wasn't anyone in your family... Yes, there were enough marks on me that the school was concerned, and this was the 1970's, when teachers could hit you!

I couldn't prove it either way so this is just opinion not fact. I think they are caused by demons, but not the supernatural kind. We have strange ways of dealing with our problems sometimes.

i mainly think it'll be your subconcious but at times it could be demons or such other things that do it

I get them but its part of my mental status...Im bi polar with physcotic attriubutes.

I think night terrors are usually something that occurs in early childhood, like between 3 and 7 years old. I didn't know they went beyond that - but then I'm no expert either.

http://www.nightterrors.org/ (apparently they do go beyond childhood)

Night terrors are a known psychological phenomena usually occuring in small children and terminating around age 7, although they have been known to extend into adulthood.

I suffered from them in my childhood, and they were accompanied by sleepwalking, sleeptalking, and periods of insomnia. Experts say they don't have an explanation for these torments, but I don't believe anyone can rule out spirit attacks.

I've had night terror my entire life, all 17 of them. Though not every night mind you, bout once to twice a week. The latest one was this past week and I have a large bruise on my left arm. Its still as bright as it was mon. Last week there we svrathes up and down my arms and back. They went away mom when I got the new bruise.
But I do believe it is some sort of demons or restless spirits that do this. My house is built on an old mine, with tunnels beneath. So people had to have died down there, and their spirits remain behind.

i would still suspect that its your subconscious that is dealing with something thats bugging you in an extreme way

Sleep terrors are happened due to increased brain activity. The common thought among researchers is that a chemical trigger in the brain causes your brain to "misfire" and cause a Night Terror. These misfires can be caused by many factors such as stress and various other medical ailments.

It seems some of us never made it out of the Dark Ages.

I don't see where demons could be proved either way but I would rather believe it was medical or psychological if I was the one having them.

It is a mental and medical issue because me and my love both have them. He has them because he was in the army :(, I have them because of a extremely bad child hood, and my meds making me see things.

as of what several people have already said..most night terrors are induced from tramatic events that have happened in someones life or a fear that they have manifested into becomming a real health issue

i believe night terrors have to do with your subconcious fears.

i have apparently never experienced said night terrors, granted i've had a nightmare or so , but i'm unclear on this night terror stuff

I seriously don't know I've got really strange stories to tell.

However in the old times they were believed to be so.

Even sleep paralysis for example,were tought they were by succubi and incubi and called old hag.

But nowadays there is science.

Still have to admit certain night terrors were very strange and scared the shit out of me.

well deathnitegrl if that didnt give me something to ponder about nothing will. Now though i remember haveing dreams of imps and other lesser demons tearing away and eating my body and when i woke i had cuts and bite marks over my body

It happened to be as well.

And in the soimilar year I used to have paranormal,possibily ghoosts expiriences in my house.

they really hurt thoughand i have had no idea why i was getting them.

i have those all the time infact i have fun and let them go on my sister while my room has rune seals to keep the ghosts out so i can sleep.

Copy and pasted from my journal.

This is what happens to me.

Two years ago:

I was sleeping at night and suddenly woke up.My bad was shaking and felt like there was something under the bed.I punched the bed for twice until it stopped shaking.First I tought it was my bro who was behaving like an idiot as usual...but the door was locked so how could he enter?I was scared and went to look under the bed and saw nothing.

Then after that expirience I began to have sleep paralysis often and after some months I began to have paranormal encounters in my room...

Another one happens to me often:

It happens to me since I was a child.I feel like something wants to go out from my feet,like my spirit,but I can't exactly say my spirit since I don't know what the hell it is exactly.I am in that phase where am going to sleep but at the same time I'm awake,I get a vision or dream that am falling and feel my ''spirit'' wants to go out and I wake up suddenly!

mine was it seemed like the entire building started to warp everything drawing closer to me pressure building as it does until i passed out. you must remember i was about 10 when this happened and i was just starting to notice such things.

they say that when your in that state your in a state of limbo and thus ones spirit can enter or exit the body easyest. though yours seems to be kicking in when your subconcious starts to take over instead of when your completely asleep which is the supposed time things like that are to happen

I'm not sure....I know I have had night terrors and it felt like it was something from the outside...I couldn't wake up but I knew what was happening in my dream...

lol:D i think u watched 'they' not too long ago huh?
