I have never experienced this, but have known many personally who have. Old Hag Syndrome or Sleep paralysis is the experience of waking up paralyzed and feeling a heavy weight on your chest. It is often accompanied by the visage of a ghost atop of you or beside you, and according to Old Norse stories (where the term Old Hag comes from), it is often in the form of an old woman.
Medical doctors have identified this condition as sleep paralysis, however, all the individuals that I've known who have experienced this are convinced that they had experienced a ghost or a demon. This is a great video on the experience.
So have any members experienced this?
