I had this happen many times when I was younger, it was scary but it doesn't happen to me anymore.

They happen most often when you are in a deep sleep and are awakened by a noise or something.
Your body is still in sleep mode but your mind is now conscious and awake.
Those with anxiety and depression tend to have it more often and also see “shadow figures”. This happens because your body is in a state of panic and alert.

I've never experienced that even though I've been struggling with depression.

I had this a lot when i was a kid. I have them infrequently now. I used to call the "shadow figures" the "chocolate monsters" when I was 5

They'd hangout in my doorway. I definitely felt paralyzed by fear.

I had this happen once and only once, thankfully. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw two blacker than black figures standing in my bedroom doorway. One was as tall as the ceiling, the other was slightly shorter. Both had skinny bodies and big heads. I've heard some really freaky stories about these things on your ceiling or right in your face, I honestly would have shit myself if my experience was anything but what I had

It happened a few times when I was younger. That was way before I partied too. Most situations were like the textbook accounts experienced by the majority of people who had sleep paralysis. Some of my old hags and shadow people came from the wrong side of the paranormal tracks, though.

I was half asleep when I heard shuffling sounds in our hall, like slippers on carpet. It wasn't my dog or my parents, either. I felt a presence enter my bedroom, and it moved towards my bed, and I then felt a second presence, and it gave information to me via telepathy. The first presence pressed down on me when I received it.

This back and forth went on for a bit, and I tried and failed to move or speak as the first presence pressed harder with each telepathic message from the second presence. It reached a point where I lost control of even my thoughts when it blocked the mental message (from the second presence). It felt like it drained my life force when I sensed fury from it over the information that I received. I forced myself to break free, but I felt somewhat drained throughout the whole next day.

Creepy! What were the telepathic messages?

In one, i saw a dark large spider crawl across the ceiling just before I was able to move again...even when fully awake after that, I was half-expecting to see it return. The trying to scream with nothing coming out sucks too.
