The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A few nights ago, I was in deep sleep until I felt an amazing pressure in my chest. I couldn't breath and I opened my eyes and I saw something.. I saw it, but it wasn't there. I looked toward my window and I swear on my life I saw a face, it wasn't human. I told my grandpa what had happened and he said I was being "bothered" as in by demons. My granpa is a priest and he does say things like this alot, but this time I'm not completely doubting it. I personally don't believe in god, but I do believe in demons. I can't say if it was a demon or not. But I've been terribly scared to sleep since and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this.

well i've never had it happen to me as far as my chest goes but i have felt someone touch my head .... i was alone and i could feel the pressure of a hand on me.....not sure if it's the same but..... hope it helps you

Yeah thats what I felt at first, then it grew to a smothering feeling. I had my eyes open and didnt see anything.

i never did see mine.... maybe thats a good thing....

Its a scary thing. I felt like I was gonna die or something

well mine wasn't that bad .... it just felt like someone had thier hand on my head pushing down.....have you been bothered sence?

This is a classic description of a psy vampire attack. Konstantinos talks about this in his book "Vampires:The Occult Truth".

A psy vamp attack? Really?

I havn't been bothered since, just terrified of going to sleep again.

i can't blame you one bit

I'm not saying that this is what really happened. But if your talking vampires...

I understand what your saying.

shit i havnt had that happen 2 me but i hav seen things out of the ordinary and it scared the living hell out of me and i caouldnt sleep 4 a month

my oldest daughter went to bed one night and started to say her prayers and she ran out of her room crying.... she said she heard someone wisper "shut up"

There can be no heaven without hell... It sounds as if you were visited by the demon, Sorath. This demon rules the energy of the "id", psyche, ect... my prayers are with you...

Sounds like a attack by a 'astral vampire', they feed like psy. vampire's. They are spirit's that feed off you while you are sleeping. Did u wake up feeing drained in the morning? If so it most likely was this.

This happen to me once also. Check out my story on this thread i did a few weeks back.
here

sorry, messed up link

here

I have had something similar happen to me, I was sleeping when I felt a pressure against my body. I came fully awake thinking someone was in bed with me and there was no one. The pressure went away after I yelled out to get off of me. It scared the crap out of me......

Yeah. It's pretty scary.
All I can tell you to do, is if you find out the demon's name, DO NOT say it aloud. You'll be bothered worse.

i have something similar happen to me..So this is saying it was either Demon or Vampire..Which btw i do believe in both.. And there has been mornings where i have woke up competely drained..Knowing i had a good nights sleep...Will check out the links

yes i can understand it was a very terrifing experence for you but in all the times it has happened to me it was like someone was sqeezing my wrists and ankles and i had my mom cleanse my room and the house and after that i was fine maybe you should have you room spirituallt cleansed and then you might feel at peace again and be able to sleep i hope this helps you ..because i know the fear you feel...

Sugar that sounds scary! could also be that perhaps you were dreaming and suffer from a condition called sleep anopea. This would give you a crushing sensation as you can't breathe proper...

It also sounds like you have been visited by a succubus. A female vampiric demon who would usually sit on mens chest and squeeze them, draining their energy. That is at least how I remember the story.

Sleep Apnea - sleep apnea happens during sleep...mostly in infants but can happen in adults...loss of breath or breathing...tightness in the chest...can also happen while having a dream or nightmare.

Not always something "supernatural"

ok well first off since when do priest's have children, that being said i have had that happen to me, but could not see anything, only could feel it.

Before you start blaming things on vampires, it's probably best to look for a mundane solution.

This sounds like a condition known as Sleep Paralysis. This condition so frightened people in the past, that they attributed it to a demonic visitation.

Sound familiar?

Sleep paralysis is just downright frightening! The good news is you grow out of it in your 30's :)

well I have had some pretty unexplainable things happen in my life like, heard strange voices' when no-one but myself was in a certain room and seen shadow's of figure's that weren't there, but the scariest was when I was thirteen I was pushed down a flight of step's by a set of hand's I had felt touch me but as I fail I turned to see who had pushed me and there was no-one there. when I had wen't back up-stairs to investigate everyone up there was still asleep yet I know someone had pushed me.

i had something like this happen once my grandpa pased away... i was asleep and i felt some one holding me, not in a frightnening way though as you had, just holding me like you would a baby, when i woke up i had goose bumps, and didnt have any idea what had happened... at first it scared me but i then realized that i had been visited by a spirit... has any one close to you passed away? it doesnt have to be recent just some one really close to you?

MistressElly

You mention that your Grandpa often talks of demons etc.....have you grown up in an environment where such things are talked about much ?

Others have mentioned two likely medical causes.

Perhaps a medical cause with an attached dream which would explain the face at the window ?

Whatever it was I hope you are able to rid yourself of your fear and sleep soundly.

I did see a man walk through a bus once when I was a kid.

i have had a few experiences like that.it all happens for a reason and i cant say that i havent ever felt that pain

i have that happen to me before and i all so feel like i am falling and i wake up and it scare me alot..hehe

No.

When I was a kid (about 6 or 7), I felt a pressure on my chest while I was laying on the couch watching T.V.

This happened to me a few months ago...
I live in a dorm, and my friend came banging on my door one night. She said there was "something" in her room, and that it was trying to hold her down on the bed...
I've been to her room before and never felt anything...
She described it as a huge man-like creature, tall and skinny, with a face that was clown-like... It scared me to hear about it.
The next day, we went to her room.. her bed was next to a wall with a window... On the wall near the window was a huge brownish staint that wasn't there before. She said that was where it came from.
After that, I think whatever it was followed me to my room. I woke coughing, unable to breathe well. I opened my eyes further and saw a shadow of a tall thin man over me... I heard it breathe. My room mate woke up and she said she saw a shadow fly through the window - Like a big strip of cloth. And she doesn't believe in things like that.
It hasn't come back... but it is indeed scary. It was worse because I actually saw it, as well as heard and felt it.

yes i know exactly wut u r talking about and its really freaky at first

This happened to me a week ago...
I was sleeping in my room with the computer on and all of a sudden, it felt as if a sword had peirced through my chest. I quickly woke up and felt my chest. I saw blood,but no wound or blade. I searched the room and saw a trail of blood leading out of my closed window.

I have never hthat sounds sad that happen but it sounds scary. I am curious how come god you cant beleve in but demons you can?

You have nothing to worry about, something or someone wants you to be watched over, if you were meant to be harmed then you would certainly have already endured it.

i beleve with nks

I have had a few of those episodes in my life....still do. It is my personal belief that it's the soul leaving or entering the body...astral projection to be exact. I have learned not to panic when I cannot move or talk, instead I tell myself to calm down and within seconds I awake feeling a little scared, but none the worse. I have tried to "go with the flow" when I am falling asleep, but I just can't handle the vibratory sensations related to astral travel. If you have any questions regarding astral travel and the such, message Enigma, he seemes to very knowledgable on matters of these kinds.

sorry, I also forgot to add another little tidbit that might help. upon closing my eyes for the night, I call upon protecting forces to watch over me and visually envelope myself in white light, so as not to have anybody or something try and invade or disrupt my sleep.

The Crushing Geist...I am familiar with this you can contact via online a local (district)Para normal research chapter and they have a quetioneir and information as well.They document these occurances.Age group matters most stop having them by 20.They tend to happen to people that are grieving.there are other common things that are more personal but understand
that others have had this happen and called it alien abduction they have no physical expaination (they do have reading though.So the research is on going.

I've had some intense and realistic dreams, but not like that.

omg i would totally flip out

Its a scary thing. Im glad you all can relate. Ill be definatly looking into the sleeping disorders. Thank you all very much!

never had this happen to me

am I the only one that would want to see something like that?

It does seem like that at first, but it really does get to you. I felt like I was going to die or something

ive had something sort of similiar yes i saw something but didnt pretty sure it was a demon....dont know what else but i guess your not alone so thats comforting right? sorry if i dont help at all

I have experienced something sort of like that...an unseen hand pulled a chunk of my hair literally out (it is quite long and it seemed to have grabbed it from distance away because it was standing out from my head). I found the clump of my hair lying on the floor.

i say everyone that posted on this thread has great views on what happened to them but until we can research them more clearer who's to say what we all saw wasn't real phenomina

The Crushing spirit is an active theory I hear others relate to.

I have seen some things and I believe the more you fera them the more power they will have over you. If you can get yourself to relax and slep, what ever it is can't have that much power over you, and it won't be able to scare you

i think everyone in a life time will have this happen but in different ways

I've never had that happen to me but I have seen a lot of things, like something that resembled a demon walking down my driveway. And my aunt and cousins have told me they've experienced things that you have, but when they woke up from it they couldn't move or talk or anything.. they weren't quite sure on what had caused it..

I have never had this happen in the way you explained. I havent had the pressure on my chest. But over the yrs I have seen dark shapes around, some shaped in human form others just a mist but always dark or a shade of grey.

i have been bothered as you mention, but at home... i can see things... even in my new house... it seems that these "things" follow me, but they dont bother me at night.

The supernatural possibilites are endless. As stated, it could be a demon, a psy vamp, or a succubus. You don't want to base it solely on that though, because it could be sleep apnea as a couple of people have stated. It would cause the pressure you felt, and lack of oxygen could have led to you hallucinating the face you saw.

Im very greatful for all the support! Thank you all so much. I did a protection spell last night and it helped me sleep for a bit.

this kinda things had happened to me. about 8 years ago when I was 20, I was laying in my bed, headphones on and I had opened my eyes...I saw a person "not real" standing over me. They were just starring down. It was the creepiest feeling ever. Yes, I was scared to sleep for quite a while after that.

I have not had it happen to me but have heard of it and read about it. It possibly could be a demon. All you can really say is that it is paranormal and has bad intentions. (I have never heard of it happening when there were good ontentions.) If you are scared you could ask for your room to be blessed, or even your whole house.

Most likely if you ask your grandpa (it is ur grandpa right...) he wil have at least one good idea on how to get rid of it. Otherwise there are some good books out there and you could probably find one in your local library.

This have never happened to me, however it does sound like something that happens in Hawaii. The things that do it are the choking spirits (if I'm not mistaken), however their intent is not to harm anyone. I think that you should listen to your grandfather, and perhaps ask him to further help you in this.

I haven't seen anything persay but I have felt things and woken up with marks before

Yes, I have gone through something like that. only I was in a deep sleep and I woke up to loud screams and things flying all around my room. Not to mention pounding on my walls. No one else in the house heard it or anything. Just me. They were all passed out.

A friend has had something like that happen to her. She said while she was asleep in the Wharenui (sleeping house) at her families marae (a tribal home) she woke up feeling like someone was constantly pushing down on her chest. She said that it happens alot to others at the marae aswell

I have never had anything like that to happen to me, i can see why you are scared i would be 2 :-s

I've seen plenty of things in my life. Some a bit more intense than your experience. But usually its something small and just interesting.

that has not happened to me yet .

i have had something like that to me but mine didn't scary me. if i had a bad dream a male will come to me and make me feel better. the odd thing was a male did not live with me at that time. the only thing i can remember about the person is his voice. so keep in mind not all of the people that come in the night can be good too.

Yes I ihave experienced it and many others, a sudden pressure, darkness, and a feeling of being unable to move, there is something there but you can't see it, also there is often a loud ringing in your ears during the episode. Medical personel have given it some fansy name but can't say why it actually happens, some say it is a demon that sits on your chest, what its purpose is no one really knows but it is terrifying, I hate it when it happens and I can't get it out of my head for weeks after, be safe, take care.

this is really interesting to read, i have never had anything like that happen to me but i do remember when i was working as a school cleaneri felt someone pinch my bum and i looked behind me ready to punch and there was no one there.

It sounds like you had sleep paralysis.

yes ive encountered demens itsvery scary ,but to say you believe in demans and not God is silly .one wouldnt excist with out the other

I have felt pressure on my chest and woke up, but I didn't notice a face.

there was someone of the other world in your room hun

I have never had that specific thing happen, but i have had dreams that were soo lifelike, and i would wake up feeling like i was being watched, or that something evil was lurking. Im not saying that ur grandpa is weird or anything, but my uncle is a minister, and a fruitcake at that. He cheases me down and tried to douse me with holy water, telling everyone that i am satan in carnate.

Some one mentioned the ringing in the ear...and a near medical explaination.I am beginning to like the results of this thread.

No can't say that it has however I'm not ruling out the possibility that it won't.

Well I've never actually seen anything, but sometimes I'll get the feeling that there's another prescence in the room with me.

Once when I was a child I had an experience like this and chalked it up to ongoing stress of childhood.

As an adult every now and then I get a feeling that there is someone about but cannot see him or her. I have associated it, over the years, with family members checking up on me that are no longer amongst the living.


I know that my wife had experienced these feelings from time to time.

Yes I experienced it many times and was reading a medical study on it, they say its a sleep disorder of some kind, but I can't remember the name of it, honestly I read the article but I can't say I agreed with it, its very possible that it is medically related, it is said in almaost all victims of the incident, they experience the rigning in the ears, and the tight chest, followed by feeling paralized and panic'd, I know It has happened to me many times and honestly I ahev always beileved soemthign was holding me down, usually I see things days before or after this incident, I will try to find the article on it again, it makes interesting reading.

I have had this happen to me once, but i was not afrade...I was actully calm and controlled...But its was slightly disturbing on the other hand...I remember seeing a mans face, long black hair empty eyes and a pail face...I could go into deeper detail but i don't want to write that much

That sounds like it was a bit odd, UTAHVAMP?

i havent had that stuff done but had something similar happen my friend has been praying for me every night and at the same time my chest would start hurting real bad she stopped praying and i stopped hurting it is real weird

i haven't had that happend to me in that way but almost

I'm glad that has never happened. I think it would be cool on some levels, but scare the hell out of you at the same time. What a rush.

Nope.. thank goodness too

I have had several experiences in which I have woken up and felt a pressure (but more like...a change in atmospheric pressure), and I have seen faces/forms in my room several times. I'm well aware of the fact that I am inclined to seeing spirits of different types. I can't say I've ever seen a "demon" per se...but definitely terrible spirits. I do hope that you figure out what it is. Perhaps if you try a cleansing ritual?

I have never felt the physical presence of these demons but more than once I've felt a sense of deep unease that I believe hinted at the presence of demons.

I've never had that sort of thing happen, but I can imagine the terror! Try protecting yoruself the best way you know how. Anything you are most comfortable with. It might sound silly, but grab that old teddy bear you used to sleep with. If you believe it will ward off what's "bothering" you then it will.

if you believe in demons than you must embrace the opposite which is God? Or it could be something else to you. If your grandfather is a priest than you need to sit down with him and talk it out because this story I have heard before of people with a crisis of religion and to understand what it is you have to accept both sides of the coin white/dark negative/positive because there needs to be a balance.

You don't need to start worship, you just need to accept it. Than you will sleep peacefully.

funny I did not see a post that thought it was a succubus or an Incubus. Odd.. Maybe I missed it.. That would be the supernatural explanation for it.

The scientific explanation is as many have said sleep paralysis,

Interestingly said, PS.

you did miss it - i saw one that suggested incubus / succubus. i have experienced it too, only being unable to open my eyes, and it being dark anyway, i've not seen the "demon". the medical explanation is quite sound - when we wake up suddenly, we can still be partly in a dream state. for instance,how often have you been holding on tight to something in your dream, and can still feel it in your hand when you wake up? unfortunately, the feeling of a great weight on your chest could be indicative of a heart defect, and it would be wise to get that checked out (that turned out to be the cause in my case).

thx NocnaMora - I think Ive also seen it done in a movie too... you can't believe in the Devil without believing in God because there wouldn't be the one without the other.
