My Second Ghostly Incident
Read here for more on Part 1
About 2 years after the weird experience, I had one more last encounter with the unseen. That night, I remember falling asleep quite early in the evening. As I was sharing the same bedroom as my sibling, I remembered that my sibling was still outside watching tv and I was alone in the room. After sleeping a while, I did not know what woke me up suddenly. Conscious of my surrounding, I decided to get up for a glass of water.
To my surprise, I could not move a muscle. Some would call it sleep paralysis but I was confident that it was not because I was pretty sure I was awake at that moment. I tried calling up for help but it seemed to be unless. As much as I hated the way thing were at that point of time, I realized after a few seconds that I was not alone. My bed was parked right next to the wall so out of the 4 corners of my bed, 2 corners were away from the wall. That time, I could see from the corner of my eyes that the 2 corners were occupied by shadows. Although I could not really see clearly who or what it was, but there was many of them. In fact, I could see each one of them surrounding my bed.
Then I remembered one of my schoolmate telling me that if any case these sort of stuff happens, one should always recite their prayers. Being a Buddhist, I started reciting Amitabha. I kept repeating and repeating the words in my head. Slowly, I felt the shadows leaving me and as the shadows left, I felt my body coming back to its senses slowly. This, is why I don’t believe that what I had experienced was sleep paralysis. I could clearly feel the pressure that was causing me not able to move slowly dispersing. From my neck then to my body then hands then feet, I could feel the pressure lifting as I calmly recited my prayers.
As soon as the shadows all disappeared, I quickly ran out from my bedroom. My parents were of course surprised to see me running out but I did not want to scare them and only explained that I was having nightmares.

If not sleep paralysis (a scientific reason for all sleep immobility but with a clear consciousness), this sort of experience is spiritual attack. These malevolent spirits or demons usually go for the feet first, so as to enter the body. I had one particular experience of a female entity pinching (like a pair of scissors) my big toe with her long and sharp finger nails. Her image was blurry , pitch black and menacingly silent.
Just say a prayer and they will leave in a hurry.
