Are You There?
Paranormal or Supernatural Activities, are they real – or
just a wild figment of one’s imagination? It’s up to you to believe or not.
1st Story
For the first story, Lionel Yee and his friends decided to
go to Kuala Terengganu for their vacation. Kuala Terengganu is located in the
state of Terengganu which lies in the eastern region of Peninsula Malaysia.
One night they decided to go for dinner at a well-known
local food stall and by the time they got there it was already after 8 pm. The
food stall was packed with customers and they had to wait for their turn. While
waiting for their turn they went to an empty nearby field to chit-chat and to smoke.
The field was relatively dark as the lights from the food stall were facing the
other side. However there was a partial moon with moonlight shining dimly in
the darkness.
Lionel suddenly felt something had hit him hard on the lower
back directly above the head and he staggered wildly towards his friends. His friends
were shocked as they rushed to help Lionel asking anxiously him what was wrong.
Lionel spurned around turned and angrily glared, as he was sure that it was one
of friends but…there was no one, not even a soul!
They went to their hotel after their meal at the food stall and
Lionel kept complaining about the ache on his back. As he was undressing he
looked at the back of his T-shirt but did not find any tear, not even a sign of
a cut on the fabric. As Lionel was busy inspecting his T-shirt when one his friend
accidentally looked up and was extremely shocked to find that Lionel’s back
shoulder was bruised with a vicious blue-black mark!!
Was it a supernatural or paranormal spirit……
2nd Story
Did she go through a
terrifying but so-called natural scientific encounter of “Sleep analysis” or was
it something else?
16 year old Dewi lived in a fairly new neighborhood with her
parents, her younger brother and baby sister. The family stayed at a bustling
town of Sitiawan which is located approximately 10 km from Royal Malaysian Navy's Naval Base at Lumut in the state of
Perak, Malaysia.
This particular incident happened when Dewi went for a
school excursion and when she got back from the trip, her father together with
the rest of her family drove her home. She was extremely excited and was busy chatting
about what they saw, her friends and their latest gossips.
The rest of the night was actually quite normal except for
their pet cat, Princess a Persian cat, who seen strangely engrossed peering in
the direction of the bedrooms on the first floor. When Dewi went to pat the cat
she was surprised that Princess actually swiped her with her front paw before
sprinting away to a small gap beneath the cupboard in the living room. Despite
coaxing from the rest of the family, Princess absolutely refused to come out.
Having a somewhat hectic day, Dewi was feeling tired and decided
to get some sleep. She had a harrowing nightmare that a blackish man was
hunting her & family and they were frantically looking for a way out. Suddenly
she woke up with perspiration on her body, when she felt somebody was on her
bed…something was straddling on her body!!! She horrified she jumped & twisted
her entire body from the bed but she could NOT move…not even a single muscle,
her entire body seemed paralyzed…even her eye lids were closed shut!
Taking a few long deep breaths trying to anxiously calm herself,
she said her prayers and she secretly plan that she will trick the “spirit” by pretending
to relax…and then without warning opened her eyes! She got her wish when her
eyes burst opened and was momentarily blinded by the semi darkness…as she
adjusted to the darkness, she saw a pitch black figure with long white hair
& shinny white teeth smiling, mere centimeters away from her face!!!
Totally & utterly shocked ….. she simply
fainted.
There are some people
who believe in the scientific explanation of “Sleep Paralysis” whereas other
may believe in the Chinese saying “ghost pressing on body” or in Malay, “kena
tindih”. Although the episode was so real to Dewi, she would probably go for
the “Sleep Paralysis” explanation as she did not really believe in the
supernatural but…
When Dewi was cleaning her bed she found 2 strands of white
hair…. but none of her family had white hair!!!
Hi Christopher
ReplyDeleteThanks for the many interesting posting. I enjoyed reading all of them.
When coming to this posting on sleep paralysis, I felt the need to share on what goes on (as I am a sufferer).
Firstly, When it happens, your eye lids don't shut tightly. You can see. And yes, you can hear. It is just that you cannot move.
Secondly, you don't faint during sleep paralysis. Goodness gracious. You would jolly try your very best to force yourself to be awake, body & mind. It is never a nice experience.
Thirdly, a presence is felt, not seen. And that awful vibrating hum ...
Yes, it's not a pleasant experience and we tried very hard to force ourselves awake. I also experience breathing difficulties and yes, the awful humming..
DeleteHi Anonymous, So glad you like the stories. I also like your personal accounts of sleep paralysis! thks.
ReplyDeleteI had sleep paralysis at certain times in life and it started during my teen years. I'm coming to 50 in a few years time. I strongly believe it is nothing supernatural but some body-mind occurrences. I did even consulted a psychiatrist and I got a very good answer for it - lack of potassium in our blood. This happens after a long day or exercise. And dewi did have a hectic day in the story , though I can't explain the strands of white hair and the dark shadows.
ReplyDeletePotassium can be easily found in fruits or isotonic drinks, btw.
Hi ChrisAu, Must have been a scary incident for you. Hard to understand whether its scientific explanation or its supernatural.
