The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have known that I am a vampire I have pretty much learned to accept it. I moved into this house and everything was fine until one night I here my floors creaking. I first dismissed it thanking that this is just a old house. Then over the next few months I here things like someone scratching behind a wall.

This one night as I layed sleeping I woke up and couldn't move at all, I couldn't say anything and then my blanket starts to move off of my body slowly. Well then the blanket gets ripped off of me, i fight it and i was able to move again I reached for my knife and took a swing and got nothing but air. Well that was about a month ago since then I just have the feeling that something is watching me and trying to attack me at night.

Well I went to go to bed and as I layed down and enjoyed the darkness. I get this feeling that there is something in the room and again I couldn't move but this time I didn't even get a chance to go to sleep. this thing just felt like it was getting closer and closer coming in for the kill. When I would close my eyes I would see a gray wrinkled face with orange cat eyes and a chin that went all the way down to the top of his chest.

It felt like he was going to charge at me any moment the only thing I could do was scream. I managed to get the stregnth and got up and ran for the light switch I could feel his energy I knew he was only about a foot and half away from me. He is still here I can feel him now does anyone have any ideas on what to do?

You may get a lot of ideas in this thread. If it were me I would ask it to leave and try to remain calm. Whatever it may be it could possibly feed on your fear. Try not to be scared. It really sounds like it is trying to scare you. There are numerous things you can do but I would start with telling it to leave and it didn't belong there. If that doesn't work then move on. I am assuming you never went to sleep and it isn't night terrors/sleep paralysis?

umm... I think you need to leave the shrooms alone man LOL just kidding!!! Seriously though, you are not possessed. Possession happens when they take control of your entire mind and body. It sounds like you were having a panic attack, which is very very scary and causes immobility, and takes away your ability to speak or scream sometimes as well. I know because I get them too. The face you saw could have been a hallucination caused by the panic attack which is also a symptom of a very bad panic attack. The worst panic attack I ever had I thought there were evil demon children in my back yard. Of course there weren't. The difference is I had the ability afterward to be able to distinguish reality from fiction. Whatever this thing is that you saw has scared you so bad that you are now afraid to go to bed, am I correct? If I were you, I would try sleeping in a different room for the night. Even if you gotta sleep on the floor or the couch, just do it. Then when you have a well-rested mind, try to go to sleep in your own bed the following night. Try not to think about it. The best way to get rid of night time panic attacks is to think of stuff that makes you happy when you're lying in bed. Try to imagine the sounds of the ocean. Imagine being in your favorite place. Think happy thoughts and you should be alright.

If this does not work and you still are having a problem, I would try seeing a doctor about some anxiety medication. I am on Klonopin 1mg three times a day and it works wonders for me. The medication will definitely diffuse the situation. Let me know how everything works out!

SteelIndigo makes a valid observation, this could well be a combination of
night terrors, and sleep paralisis.

I would also consider the possibility that someone is hoaxing you.

If it wanted to kill you, it would have. If a mere switching on of a light can dispatch it, what kind of power does it actually have? All the suggestions here are good. When I heard things go bump in the night repeatedly I didn't ask it to leave. More like, Bring it on motherfucker or leave, I have an early appointment and need to sleep! Slept like a kitten after that.

haha... that was great advice bloodtrope. you see, the mind is a very powerful thing, more power than you think. There's nothing better than good old power of suggestion. If you tell yourself it's not there or not real, than it has no power over you ^_^

yes i would take a stand and tell it to leave that it is your house and your room and that it has no power over you. it shows no fear on your side and makes you feel better and if it is something with your mentality it should reassure your psyche if its not then it will let the bugger know you mean business and demand respect in your home for most of the time they just want attention :P and yes you might need meds or you might not i wouldnt just run off and say hey i need pills to deal with this thats bad medicine explore your options both physically and spiritually no matter what your beliefs are

consider you physical, and mental load, are you holding grudges, too many new associates to juggle?

Do you have an active period at least once a day.

Have you been eating bigger portions priour to bed time?

How is your environment? Cluttered? Perhaps spring cleaning with " flow out negativity". You could well be experiencing belated cabin fever.

Sage all your rooms, open windows, unclutter.

If you are partying at all, consider
The company you keep, and how they may intimadate you directly or indirectly.

Atonia=Atonia, REM sleep : A frightening form of paralysis that occurs when a person suddenly finds himself or herself unable to move for a few minutes, most often upon falling asleep or waking up. Commonly called sleep paralysis, the condition is due to an ill-timed disconnection between the brain and the body.

The symptoms of sleep paralysis include sensations of noises, smells, levitation, paralysis, terror, and images of frightening intruders. Once considered very rare, about half of all people are now believed to experience sleep paralysis sometime during their life.

Sleep paralysis strikes as a person is moving into or out of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the deepest part of sleep. During REM sleep the body is largely disconnected from the brain leaving the body paralyzed. Sleep paralysis is the result of premature (or persistent) mind-body disconnection as one is about to enter into (or exit from) REM sleep.

Sleep paralysis occurs most often after jet lag or periods of sleeplessness that interrupt the normal REM patterns. It affects both sexes equally and occurs at all ages but is most common in teenagers. Sleep paralysis can be familial and may be genetic (inherited) in some cases.

An attack of sleep paralysis is usually harmless and self-limited. It tends to be over in a minute or two as soon as the brain and body re-establish connections and the person is able to move again. However, the memory of the terrifying sensations felt during sleep paralysis can long endure. (Some scholars believe that sleep paralysis may account for some of the old claims of attacks by witches and the more recent "reports" of nocturnal abduction by space aliens.)

A rare fatal form of sleep paralysis may, it is thought, underlie the cases of healthy teenagers, mainly in Southeast Asia, who die in their sleep, sometimes after fighting for breath but without thrashing around.

Sleep paralysis goes by a number of names, including the "old hag" in Newfoundland (for an old witch thought to sit on the chest of the paralyzed sleeper), "kokma" in the West Indies (for a ghost baby who jumps on the sleeper's chest and attacks the throat), "kanashibari" in Japan and "gui ya" or ghost pressure in China (because a ghost is believed to sit on and assault the sleeper). Medically, sleep paralysis is sometimes called waking paralysis, predormital (before-sleep) paralysis, and postdormital (after-sleep) paralysis.

You might want to do some research on vampire ghostlike entity attacks, some cultures call them 'night hag' or 'old hag' attacks, others call them psychic vampire or astral attacks.

From what i have read of them, yours sounds like a very classic case.

Apparently its something that happens to at least 15% of people at some point in their lives. Paralysis is common, and people have often reported sinister shadowy figures with glowing eyes.

If you really feel that it is something in your room attacking you then a banishing or cleansing ritual of some kind would probably help you, and put your mind to rest.

However if you go down the more scientific route and see it as nothing more than "Sleep paralysis" a condition where you wake up but are still dreaming and often your body itself is still sleeping so cant move, then the condition should sort its self out in time.


I found this which was quite intresting and might help put you at ease:

In her article, "Help! I Can't Move!,"Florence Cardinal writes: "Sleep paralysis is often accompanied by vivid hallucinations. There may be a sense someone is in the room, or even hovering over you. At other times, there seems to be pressure on the chest, as though someone or something perched there. There may even be sexual attacks associated with the hallucinations. The sound of footsteps, doors opening and closing, voices, all can be a very frightening part of sleep paralysis. These are known as Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic Experiences and they are what make people dread an episode of sleep paralysis."

We have talked about this so many times in here.The biggest culprits are sleep deprivation and stress.Anyway,here is some more inmformation about it.Link included for further reading...


Preventing and Coping with Sleep Paralysis
Stress: Among the most common precursors of sleep paralysis are stress and sleep disturbances. These two often occur together. Indeed, a reasonable hypothesis is that the effects of stress on sleep paralysis are mediated through disruption of sleep. In any case our respondents very frequently mention, quite spontaneously, that they experienced more than usual amounts of stress during bouts of sleep paralysis. Some older respondents have mentioned that they had experienced sleep paralysis many years ago, but had gone for many years without any problems until they began to experience family-, professional-, or job-related stress. Knowing that one's sleep paralysis may be caused by stress may seem of limited utility. One is almost certainly already highly motivated to reduce high levels of stress and likely would have done so if it were easily done. Realizing, however, that the stress may be mediated through sleep disturbances at least affords one some strategies of dealing with stress-related sleep paralysis even if one cannot eliminate the stress itself. Periods of stress are often associated with insomnias, including difficulty falling asleep, multiple and prolonged waking during the night, and early waking. The first likely leads simply to a general sleep deprivation, while the later two may have a relatively greater impact on deep sleep and REM sleep. Since sleep paralysis is thought to be a REM-related problem, not being able to remain asleep for sufficient periods to accumulate normal REM may predispose one to enter REM prematurely, as it were, immediately upon falling asleep and hence cause the person to experience sleep paralysis. The most direct way of coping with this is to maintain a regular schedule and maintain one's normal times of retiring and rising. These are frequently disrupted during periods of stress. Eating large amounts late into the evening, drinking beverages containing caffeine and alcohol, and excessive smoking are common reactions to stressful conditions and can be quite disruptive both of sleep in general and of the normal sequencing of sleep periods more specifically. Clearly avoiding any of these, especially in the late evening, will help prevent sleep loss and hence bouts of sleep paralysis. A serious Sleep Debt, which tends to take a greater toll on REM, might well contribute to increased incidence of SP.
Sleeping position: It has been long suspected, and frequently reported, that lying in the supine (face-up) position seems to be associated with sleep paralysis. In our own work we have found that lying in the supine position is five times more likely during sleep paralysis that it is during normal sleep. If one is trying to avoid sleep paralysis then avoiding the supine position is strongly advised. For people who normally sleep in this position changing may prove difficult. However, sleeping on one's back appears to be relative rarely in our international samples, with only 10%-15% of people reporting that they normally sleep in this position. Since, about 60% of sleep paralysis episodes are reported to occur in the supine position obviously many people who are experiencing sleep paralysis are in, for them, an unusual position. The effect of sleeping position is quite evident in the following figure. The supine position is among the least frequent positions during normal sleep whereas it is clearly the most common position. It is also evident, however, that sleep paralysis may occur in any position for some people (Labeled 'Variable' in the Figure). There are also a few people who appear to have sleep paralysis preferentially in on of the other positions. Nonetheless, a number of respondents, after following our suggestion to try to avoid sleeping in the supine position, have indicated that sleep paralysis episodes have declined or ceased.

Best of luck with the night invaders!!

Night terrors, are another occursnce.

Triggers for night terrors are as I mentioned above.

Bad diet.
Hectic social disturbances.
Cluttered environment.
Unreconciled Hostilities.
Seasonal effective disorder.

Airing out ones environment, is important especially after winter.





May I ask?

Why do you feel " being a vampire" factors into this?

I would say take a good look at all suggestions provided above. I used to have visits by what i call "the shadow people" and have personally felt them when close to me. To some, they could be energy feeders, or as another suggested to me privately on here, beings of another dimension perhaps. I choose not to define what they are considering we do not have the means to put things under a microscope and all things are a matter of what is "felt" to be what it is, or what it "could" be.
The answers are not always the correct ones but all advice should be appreciated regardless of that. I handled my situation by emotionally growing tired of it happening randomly and saying aloud for it to go away and leave me alone. Never had that problem since.

for the night terror/sleep paralysis side of things, there are some great ideas already in the thread.
if you are given reason to believe this is truly an intelligent entity, then you might try first commanding it to go...leave no doubt that this is YOUR home.

if that doesnt work (and the chances are high that it will), then try having an exorcism. it doesnt matter what brand of belief you have, it seems to have a good success rate.
~W~

What ever you do, you should never challenge a demonic spirit or demon or whatever...cuz then they'd actually will take on the challenge and might try to posses you and hurt you or anything to scare you or phisclly hurt very bad....but yeah you should just tell them too leave and that they have no right to be there and you must believe that while to yell it out be stronge and dont show any fear or doubt, only just force it out with your will like you are telling another person to get out of the house....if that does not work you should look up:

http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa010300a.htm

I hope this will help you...

im not sure i understand your post...what do you mean by challenging it?
i had thought that telling it to leave is a challenge? telling it to recognize your authority is a challenge/
~W~

Whatever the case may be, it should be treated the same as you would an intruder in your home. It is an entity plain and simple, whereas a physical person may not take your authority as seriously without more force. One must never allow such things to keep persisting in your life. One must always take charge of that fear and face them. Show them your dominance, strength in your energy, and most usually things will take the hint, and listen to your demands.

Not everything can be explained by loss of sleep, diet, ect... Many supernatural experiences happen without any of the deficiencies listed.

There is no such thing as the super natural. Quit watching the Chiller Channel on Cable.

...I beg to differ

I don't see anything standing in the way of new possibilities
There is no black and white answer here

as stated in the forum header ( with attention to detail) this is a case for Sleep Paralisis.

Vampirchica,

' no black or white'?

does not default something as paranormal.

Here we have a thread created by a person that clearly had a disturbing occurance. I do not question this tesimony, the structure, and detail supports it.

A text book case of sleep paralisis.

There is nothing here that supports spooks. What significance does it serve to keep tugging the matter to some spook possession, or what have you?


Ahh that is a topic for another thread.

Why? Even after something formerly mysterious is fittingly related to some
mundane physical occurance, do paranormalist persist with " You just never no-ing"?


I am concerned for the children of such people, when their children experience sleep paralisis, the paranormalist parent is predicably going to further traumatize the child with far fetched notions, then tell the child they need to perform rituals devotely to " protect themselves".

Trying to help this person regain assurance.
