I had experienced sleep paralysis years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I would hear ACDC music blaring really loud and the sound of someone coming up the stairs to our apartment. I could hear the floors creaking as the foot steps came into our bedroom and stopped next to the bed. I would be completely paralysed - unable to move or wake up. I remember this scenerio happening several times.
I've had it happen twice myself. It can be pretty scary. When it happened to me, I was in bed and woke up. I thought I was awake, as I could see the window across from me in the room, but I couldn't move or breathe. I could see a shadowy form on my chest, that was weighting me down. I had this feeling of dread come over me, like this thing was evil. The really scary part was not being able to breathe. In my mind I commanded the thing to leave me in the name of Jesus. Instantly, I was able to breathe again.
The funny thing is, many years after this happened to me, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have to wonder now whether this was a beginning sign of it that I didn't recognize at the time.
I wonder if that was a soul that previously lived there? The music is interesting, do you remember the particular song? Pregnancy is already so crazy with a human growing and hormones on high. Did that entity visit you or your unborn child you think?
This is the classic sleep paralysis I've experienced, only the sounds I hear tend to be more of a crowd of voices so thick that I can't make out anything they are saying and the music I hear sounds old, like an old jazz bar from the 40's or something. And it all sounds like it's far away and the sound is drifting on the wind to me. Such a weird thing. I've had this happen only when I was sleeping on my side, not my back. So I think it's something to do with my ear pressing against the pillow, muffling sounds from the room fan, and my sleep paralysis brain filling in the rest. I hate the footsteps one though, and the actual feeling of being paralyzed. It's so terrifying.
