Ghosts - Sometimes there really is no one there!
There's a common misconception held about some ghostly encounters. Some people feel they are being haunted after having experienced a dark presence in their bedroom, followed by a scary feeling of being held down, touched or shaken. Sometimes they can even feel totally paralysed.
Of course, this is disturbing but the truth is in the majority of cases this has nothing at all to do with the presence of a malevolent spirit.
They are, in fact, experiencing, a well-recognised sleep disorder called 'sleep paralysis' or 'night terrors. This usually occurs when you're somewhere in between being asleep and awake, and it's during these times that our brains begins to play tricks on us. Most people never experience this unpleasant phenomenon, while other might occasionally suffer from it. A few people will, unfortunately, experience it on a very regular basis
But before you go running off to a local exorcist to clear your home of an evil spirit that you sense when you're dropping off to sleep at night, it might be more sensible to first speak with your GP about it.
There's more than likely to be a very non-supernatural reason for what you are experiencing unpleasant as it!
