    All at once? Or you just feel these as you walk around. Does not mean there is more then one. Cold spots are defiantly an indication of apparitions.

    Did you try talking more and getting more information. The more the information the better.

    THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN'S TO MANY PPL, IT HAPPEN'S TO ME SEVERAL TIME'S A YEAR.

    The medical establishment is quite aware of this phenomenon, but has a less sensational name than "old hag syndrome" for it. They call it "sleep paralysis" or SP (sometimes ISP for "isolated sleep paralysis").

    So what causes it? Dr. Max Hirshkowitz, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Houston, says that sleep paralysis occurs when the brain is in the transition state between deep, dreaming sleep (known as REM sleep for its rapid eye movement) and waking up. During REM dreaming sleep, the brain has turned off most of the body's muscle function so we cannot act out our dreams - we are temporarily paralyzed.

    "Sometimes your brain doesn't fully switch off those dreams - or the paralysis - when you wake up," Hirshkowitz told ABC News. "That would explain the 'frozen' feeling and hallucinations associated with sleep paralysis." According to his research, the effect only really lasts from a few seconds to as long as a minute, but in this half-dream half-awake state, to the victim it can seem much longer.

    In her article, "Help! I Can't Move!," Florence Cardinal, About.com's Guide Sleep Disorders, 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."

    - For all their explanations, however, the sleep experts still do not know what causes the brain to screw up like this, or why some people experience it more than others. But there are some theories:

    - "Episodes of paralysis can occur when the body is in any position, but happen most frequently when the sleeper is lying flat on his or her back. Intense fear is common, but sometimes other strong emotions, such as sadness or anger, are present," says Florence Cardinal in "The Terror of Sleep Paralysis."

    - For some, SP is often brought about by not getting enough sleep or being overtired.

    - Likewise, disrupted sleep schedules or circadian rhythm disturbances can produce an episode of sleep paralysis.

    - It is more common in people who suffer from severe anxiety or bipolar disorder.

    - Some research shows that SP is five times more likely to occur with people who are taking such anti-anxiety drugs as Xamax or Valium.

    - A study found that 35 percent of subjects with isolated sleep paralysis also report a history of wake panic attacks unrelated to the experience of paralysis.

    How can you prevent sleep paralysis? According to clinical research, you may be able to minimize the episodes by following good sleep hygiene:

    - get enough sleep
    - reduce stress
    - exercise regularly (but not too close to bedtime)
    - keep a regular sleep schedule

    "For some people this may not be possible, however," says Florence Cardinal, "so instead let's look at ways to escape from the grip of sleep paralysis. The best remedy is to will yourself to move, even if it's only the wiggling of your little finger. This is often sufficient to break the spell. If you can manage it, scream! Your roommate may not appreciate it, but it's better than suffering through a long and fear-filled episode. If all else fails, seek professional help.

    "Sounds like good advice. The bottom line is that you really have nothing to fear, in a paranormal sense, from sleep paralysis. That old hag you feel perched on your chest may be nothing more than the anxiety of living in a stressful world.

    I actually saw a story about the old hag sydrome. It becomes so real to the person that it sucks the energy right out of them. They become weak and scared and do not know how to stop the attacks. Thanks for bringing this up because It sure does explain things for some people and there is treatment out there.

    The story that I saw, the women tried everything and nothing helped. Then she ended up having some kind of ceremony done and lots of prayers and more. This thing or these experiances finally left her.

    It happened to me. A few time's. I thought I was crazy until I read this. IT really is soooo freaky. I've had it happen a few times a yr since 4rth grade. I remember in 4rth grade I was napping before school and when I awoke I saw the room, but couldn't move. I kept looking at my body not moving and thought I was frozen. When I glanced at the TV it had a evil face in it and I cried out ''God help me the devil is going to eat me'' LOL. In a few minute's after trying to move I was able to get up as though nothing happened. It was a horrid experience that I can still remember amazingly.

    Now, I live with my fiancé and I'm a grown adult, but I've had several time's living here that I woke up while he was working and I couldn't move. Over the year's I've learned that if I kepp trying to move and kick, it seems to snap me out of it faster. The scarest thing is that while the last 2 time's it's happened its felt like someone was tocuhing me on my face or arms... VERY scary. I think one time I cried lol. I just hope that it doesn't EVER happen again. But I doubt that I'm that lucky lol.

    I don't think that these experiances are evil being's haunting me. It simply can be explained as a sleeping phanomina. Crazy, but it makes sense.

    Now, on the subject of spirits, I'm not religious but when I was smaller I was. I lived in a regular house. In 2nd grade. My parent's weren't bad parent's then, not until I hit 12 or so. But my father watched things that weren't good on TV. Shooting people, things that kid's shouldn't see. He was a mean person to almost everyone. One day I started seeing people walkig through the house. The would go out of the TV and into my dad. They'd follow my parent's and watch me. But when they tried to enter my room they couldn't. B/c I was a christian I prayed the blood of jesus over my life and room. So they couldn't touch me. One day I fell down the stairs, and I know it was one of the ghosts because I felt its cold hand on my back. So my gram is a christian. She gave me a letter that prays for a house and that evil must leave it. I hung it on the fridge and within a few days all the spirits left. Being raised as a christian, and sort of still being one, I think these were demons that my dad and mom had inside them. They were in sin because of not living right and having me without being married. My gram told me that I had a gift called Decerning of Spirits. A gift god gives people to see into the spiritual world. So, I told god I didn't want this gift it scared me and since then I haven't been able to see anything. Wheither or not I'm christian, I still believe in spirits. I do believe that in their relm they fight all the time between good and evil. It's the balance of life. But I strongly think if you tell a spirit to leave it will. The time it doesn't is when its not a spirit it a demon and in my opinion that's when you need help the most.
