Let me first say that I am Mexican American and the morning after this happened to me, i called my grandmother to ask if she knew of any stories that sounded familiar. She is no doctor, but the hallucination i had was horrifying. It felt like I was living a bad nightmare. Nevertheless, I do believe in ghosts and things out of the ordinary because creepy events have happened to me. Well, my grandmother ended up telling me about " El muerto que se sube" which means "the dead that lies on top". I described everything; I woke up conscious and i could hear but my eyes were closed. I tried to speak and i could feel my mouth moving but my voice was gone. Trying to move was of no use because my body felt like it was held down by massive weights. The scariest part of all this was the fact that i tried to pray but for some reason, i couldn't remember prayers in full. (and i KNOW my prayers). This for sure wasn't a dream because during this even i heard my stereo on. When i recovered and fully woke up, the stereo was still on. I've heard of sleep paralysis and it might be scientifically proven, but i know that people who have experienced it disagree with just the science explanation. I believe that some other kind of energy took over my body that night. I can say i've never felt so sure that something or someone else was in my room, that night with me.
