The very first memory I have is of me sitting with my head in my knees and I think I was counting because I turned around confused and my mom jumps into the room to scare me. It almost makes me feel like I’m not really me and my soul was just thrown into someone else. I don’t remember much else from that time but I know I was 3 or 4 because we lived in an apartment until the year I was to turn 5 and start kindergarten in my new town. I do also remember my hot wheels super track thing I got for a birthday, being a little bastard at preschool and other random memories. Edit: I forgot to say I recently turned 18 so I’ll prolly forget by the time I’m 30.
A memory I have of when i was three, was of my first day of primary school, but it was after class and I was sitting across from a teacher doing some sort of maze puzzle where you place your pen in the middle and try to escape, I remember the room I was in was adjacent to my classroom. I think the reason why I was there with the teach was because my mother was busy that day and would end up picking me up late. I remember sitting there for like 20 minutes bored out of life, doing this “hard” maze. I remember getting really pissed off about it and I believe I tried to leave the room. But the teacher stopped me and pulled me back into the room, but I was really stubborn, and the most memorable part of that first day was, when grappled onto the door frame and held on with all the strength in my arms, just so I didn’t have to do that puzzle. There Meat Canyon, theres a memory from when I was three
I can remember when I was three that I lived in an apartment duplex with stairs lookin' building with multiple similar buildings surrounding a playground and my teenaged brother (through unknown hijinks at the time) was the sole reason for us getting evicted and having to live with my aunt.(at the time of the memory I had no context I just remembered the building and then not living there anymore)
I find it interesting that he met Jesus in his sleep and no one cares. We have mass cases of otherworldly demons tormenting us while we are in a vulnerable state but nah mate its just a dream.. Riiight. Ok.
"mass cases" you meant to say we have many gullible people who are so far into their biases and feelings about a book with many written stories but only those usually which involve the man upstairs and only see what the book describes and whatever details aren't there z their mind makes up the rest? @@bert7651
I get sleep paralysis pretty often. The scariest demon I get is a anthropomorphic Banana man, who always smiles at me. Some nights I just hear him walking around, with wet mushy footsteps, in my house and outside my window. Sometimes he looks over my bed, looks at me and smiles a toothless smile. He stinks of brown bananas. I hate him.
A lot of these aren't sleep paralysis, they're just weird dreams. There's a distinct lack of describing the feeling of constriction or trying to scream themselves awake.
YES!! I haven’t hallucinated, probably because i never open my eyes when i get sleep paralysis but i just feel like i cant breathe properly, pressure on my chest and i just WANT/NEED to move but my body is so damn heavy i cant
8:22 I'm the most down to earth man you'll ever meet. Atheist af. I'm f*cking tall as hell nobody touches me ever, with ZERO traumatic experiences. But to even my own surprise I had a similar experience. I sleep naked sometimes because who cares and I woke up, flat on my belly, no blanket, but was paralysed completely. IMMEDIATELY as I woke up I felt as if there was a presence closing in on me all the way from downstairs. Hard to describe.. It's not a feeling I normally have. I don't feel "presences" ever. While it was coming up I tried to move but I was completely powerless. I could only fear. And fear I did. I could physically hear someone walking up the stairs AND THEN even the upstairs hallway sliding door opened.. I know the sounds of someone coming upstairs very well as I lived here all my life, but now I felt so connected to the entity coming up, even without knowing what it was. It was terrifying... It was in for me... As it finally reached my room it came in and I suddenly felt that it was my father despite me not being able to see the door (I was facing away from it). I felt INCREASINGLY embarassed in an "oh shit I'm naked and exposed!!" kinda way, but I could not move no matter how hard I tried and he didn't stop closing in without saying a word. It just came closer without slowing down. It then put his hand on my butt with his finger on my as*hole and that's the closest I've ever felt to being r*ped. Holy sh*t was that breaking my boundaries.. I immediately understood those victims better.. Why they freeze up, it was horrible. You just don't know what to do and you are only focussed on the fear. I didn't know what to do!! Hopeless as I was the emberassment switched to anger. It only took 3 seconds but I was fuming, so angry I could break this demon's neck with my gaze. My face finally was able to make the emotion of anger, then my body sprung out of the paralysis and I FLEW UP from my position with rage. There was nothing. No demon. I just sat there, alone.
I had sleep paralysis a few times when I was younger and had alot of trouble going to/staying asleep. Usually I would wake up facing the wall next to my bed and I could see the shadow of someone standing next to my bed (my window let alot of light into my room so shadows were common). Eventually it would start to move just walking in circles around my room making a pretty loud stomping noise while doing so. Never been so scared to move in my life
I've had a few experiences with this lately. The last two times I was too terrified to move after I was fully awake and then when I was able to get up, I turned on every light in my house and stayed awake till the sun came up. No fun.
@shawnfurness glad im not the only one. I make sure there are no lights on in my room and that I can turn the lights on from my bed to (hopefully) helo with this never happening again
I couldn't stop laughing, the voices Meat has kills me everytime, his delivery is always on point and overall just a funny fucking dude, also the stories killed me, but its the way he read them too lmao
I've had sleep paralysis a number of times, occasionally I'd have a shadow standing over me, no big deal. Though one time it happened there was a little girl and she started walking towards me, screaming. The only thing I could feel was fear and all I could do was close my eyes and hope the screaming would end. It was pretty sick, PTSD/10
I've had sleep paralysis episodes where 3 shadow figures come into my room. The tall one would lean over and breathe right in my face. Scariest thing I've ever experienced.
Two years late to this, but yeah, sleep paralysis is absolutely terrifying. I haven't seen a sleep paralysis "demon," but I did experience auditory hallucinations while sleep paralyzed. Also, for those that deal with sleep paralysis, a weighted blanket helped me a lot.
It used to happen to me much more often, and I've noticed it still does tend to happen more often when I sleep on my back and around the 3-4am hours of sleep.. I think stress or something else may play into it as well. Also, for me, I have sever auditory hallucinations mostly but every other time I'll also have some fairly vivid visual and touch hallucinations as well. It has never been anything secure for me, though.. the hallucinations are usually of a demon/ghost-like beings, usually of an old woman, which i do not recognize. Not sure why. Sometimes its a more just demon-like creature, as well. Also I don't usually get the cheat compression feeling as much, but I do get a severe sense of dread and also will be in this strange state where I am wanting to move, make noise, wake up, etc but cannot but at the same time it's like my eyes are extremely heavy but im not wanting to drift too far back into the sleep because the sensation s and hallucinations get more intense.. and also it just has this super strange feeling when it feels im slipping back into a more sleep state, so it's just.. scary, idk. So eventually I just get myself to wake up enough, get up and grab some water or use the bathroom and calm down a bit, and then try to lay back down and sleep. Sometimes it's a few minute ordeal but sometimes it will be on and off for hours, flowing into dream states and lucid dreams as well, and then back to wake but sleep paralysis. I would say its maybe a once every 2-3 months occurrence. Maybe a few more if it s abad month or something, but then sometimes ill go 6 months or more with it not happening. Still not sure what seems to set it off.
The closest I’ve ever had to a physical hallucination was having felt someone lay on top of me. Thought it was my disable uncle and tried yelling at him but only could moan. At the time I was mixing Zoloft with kratom
I had sleep paralysis once and I saw the grim reaper standing in the corner of my room and I wanted to piss myself, they just stood there staring at me from underneath its cloak and a skeletal hand holding a scythe
You should do more of these. That is, just reading ridiculous stories from the internet in your voices. Hilarious and would be a good way to keep your channels going while you take your break from animation
I remember dragging my head across the ground when I was about 3, and the reason why was because I thought I was a bulldozer. So yeah… definitely agree with the bowling ball brain analogy.
I used to get sleep paralysis every once in a while in my late teens to mid 20s. I never had any hallucinations, just woke up groggy and paralyzed with some mild panic. It never lasted long, I'd just try like a mf to move and eventually I'd get myself to sit up or roll over. It's a really odd sensation feeling your body come out of that state, it's like I could feel my body going from 0% strength and completely paralyzed back to 100% stength slowly over the course of a few minutes. That first bit of regained movement is always a huge relief, but you also briefly feel like you have the strength of a newborn baby.
The night is a very terryfiyng experience for me . Im 20 and ever since I was a kid I had this sort of weird things happen to me while sleeping. When I was a kid I would literally see myslef sleeping out of my body and my room and everything around it. Now I suffer a lot with sleep paralysis and halucinations at night and auditory hallucinations aswell. One of my most terrifying sleep paralysis stories for me is that I was once in my room trying to sleep and I see 3 shadow people. 2 small ones were on top of me at my feet, and a big large one at my right side. The big one had a big white eye and very big hands and long fingers. I was trying to not look at them while they were hurting me and it felt like they were burning me from the inside. They suddenly opened their mouths and they let out a scream. They screamed like zomibes from zombies movies or like how metal rock stars scream. A few seconds later they left and I got up of my bed all sweaty. Thats the reason why I like to sleep with the lights on. In a few occasions I even hear wolfs even when I live in an area where there arent any that I think of.
Used to have sleep paralysis a lot before I got treatment for sleep apnea. My most memorable dream was seeing a gray, fleshy spider with an old man's face crawling around on the floor. Before I regained the ability to move again, it introduced itself as "Meatball" and said it was pregnant, then vanished. To this day, I've never seen Meatball again, but I hope he's well. I used to hallucinate a woman with no arms who would stand over me and bleed on me too. She wasn't as chill as Meatball.
I actually really suffered with this as a kid (and can still find myself slipping back there every now and then as an adult 29) My thing was that I would wake up, which was semi real, and my bed had turned into a Iron Maiden. It would open and close on my body over and over and over again. I really believe that I felt the pain that would come with it. After several minutes I would muster the strength to jump out of bed and run to my parents room. Mid panic attack, I would cry in my parents bed, as they tried to calm me down. Eventually falling asleep in between them. This happened about once a month until I was 12/13. Not sure what changed, but I can still feel the same exact anxiety every now and again when I can’t fall sleep. I don’t sleep well.
Sleeping issues have really fueled my drug addiction over the years. I have a nightmare/sleeping disorder and when I use, I don’t dream for some reason. I was prescribed a med that makes you not dream, they don’t know why it does it, but it does. And I absolutely loved it. It’s technically a heart med and now I have heart problems (not from the med but drug addiction), so I currently can’t take it. But I’d highly recommend it to anyone with chronic nightmares, it’s called Prazosin. Helped me a lot and my kids dad who also had sleep paralysis.
Yeah sleep paralysis used to be terrifying to me but I’ve had them every night for about 5 years. So now they don’t even phase me. I’ve even learned to move in them. Which is what invokes lucid dreaming. Now I control my dreams every night. Turned a negative into a positive mate! Never slept any better :)
Only happened once, we kept my great grandmothers house after she died, so one time while I was staying the night by myself she appeared as a typical ghost and just hovered on the other side of the room. Same experience, I heard somebody enter the house, walk upstairs and rummage through stuff. Then again, I could have actually been visited by my dead grandmother while my house was robbed.
yo intertesting that people rummaging through stuff is a common sleep paralysis trope. had that happen the first few times i had hallucinations. i eventually learned to control the scenario. these days, no sleep paralysis. had it very regularly my 3rd year of college. probably cuz of a fucked sleep schedule.
I was really sick once and was on the couch, trying to watch tv, when it felt like the world froze in time. I saw the coffee table beside me suddenly shatter into splinters, this horrible roar of multiple things - buildings, streets, worlds - being ground into nothing. The next thing I knew my girlfriend was shaking me as I was screaming.
the last couple of years I've had sleep paralysis on and off pretty frequently. the weirdest shit I saw was this cartoon crumpled up beer can that looked kinda like the map character from Dora the explorer. It sat right next to my face on the pillow, and had that same smile, but it wore shades. didn't move, made no noise at all, except the shades GLITCHED up and down, covering and showing its eyes over and over with no frames between open/closed. it just stared at me with a big open smile with the shades glitching, and it pissed me off so much I wanted to grab it and throw it against the wall, but I couldn't move, so I just had to sit there looking at it taunt me until it faded away
i've had sleep paralysis 100s of times in my life. At first it was always scary with demons and shit happening. But after a while I was so used to it that I would know immediately I have it. And when that happened the demons went away and were replaced but some of the weirdest shit. One time a band from Mexico ran up to me in paralysis and started serenading me with acoustic guitars. Another time a tv appeared on my wall, and it had all these crazy fractals and shit happening and I realized I could control the fractals with my mind. I'd tell it what color I wanted and it would change to that color. So yeah sleep paralysis becomes funny and often pleasant when you stop being afraid of it. Another funny story, once I saw the Green Goblin from spiderman painting a picture of himself on my wall, and he turned around to me and laughed and said "your parents are going to be so pissed!" in Willem Dafoe's voice, then turned into spiderman kinda (more like a red and blue blob vaguely shaped like a human) and jumped into the painting and hid behind a tree that suddenly materialized in the painting, so I couldn't see him. I sat there intently assuming I would see him since he would have to walk from behind the tree at some point, and he never did, then I woke up.
I’ve had them since I was like 5 years old, getting dragged out of the bed and shit or having E.T. as the “demon” haha. Creepiest one I had was just some wraith whistling some really disturbing tune next beside me. Now I just focus on moving my pinky in the sleep paralysis and it’s over in like a sec
I've found that the only time I experience sleep paralysis (which I didn't believe in for the longest time til it started happening to me) is when I listen to one of those relaxing forest/nature/rain videos to sleep. And when it happens I just basically start yelling to try and wake up, but it comes out as either gibberish or just moaning. And usually when it happens there isn't really a demon per say but more like I just feel that presence in the room. Then my girl usually wakes me up saying I was moaning loud lol
I sometimes wake up and I'm unable to move my body but it usually only last for like 10 seconds. Also I don't hallucinate any demons or anything. It usually occurs during siestas or like when I am really tired. Is this sleep paralysis or something else?
@@user_2793 Yes it's sleep paralysis... well 95% chance it is. The not being able to move your body is the hallmark of sleep paralysis. I have had plenty of sleep paralysis where nothing happened.
when i was 3 i remember my nana got stung by a scorpion, dont remember the whole thing but i DO remember seeing her jump up and crawling to investigate before being abducted by my mother from the scene. she didnt show up much in my life as i grew up so it stuck with me. deserved.
I DO have a memory from when I was 3 years old actually. But, to be honest, it was because an adult broke one of my legs. It was traumatic enough that it stuck with me and to this day I can recall my days and nights in the hospital with a lot of clarity. I had this mechanical brace/bar thing surgically attached to my leg to hold the femur bone together while it healed. I can remember the weeks having that thing sticking out of my leg with 6 barbs drilled all the way through and down into the bone itself. Left me with 6 good scars too. So, in conclusion, it is possible to hold memory from that far back. Though I doubt dreaming about a monkey would be traumatic enough to retain memory the way I did. They say children suppress trauma so they don't remember, but that's not at all the case with me.
@@virtzrl same but I was 5 not 3. Sledding off a hill I lived on and flew off the edge. Ice was roughly 2" thick because we lived in a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Busted my head open pretty bad. I remember getting airborne, hitting my head, the giant blood splotch growing under me, when my grandma panicked and I didn't (probably in shock, i just knew my grandma was really worried and i didnt seem to care) taken to the urgent care and got stitches. And then the memory fades.
@@EeekItsSnek You're story sounds way more exciting than mine lmao. I busted my head on a fucking tv stand. I ended up having to get 3 stitches and 3 staples because of it.
I wish this video was longer. I really like listening to you, not to mention the funny visuals. Your voice is really calming I could listen to you for hours haha
I’ve had sleep paralysis twice in my life, once when I was a kid and once about a week ago. When I was a kid, the nightmare was me paralyzed and blind, and the terror that I felt, feeling that I was blind and would never see again, it really terrified me beyond description. The second one was like I couldn’t get out of bed, every time I tried to sit up, I would make no progress, but for some reason I wasn’t scared at all, I just kept trying to get up until I woke up and realized I had been asleep.
I've had a few experiences with these situations. I used to work security for a ship yard and was under alot of stress. During your duty days you slept on the facility in their barracks. I don't know what time it was when I woke up, but in the dark room I could make out the couch we had, and there was something crawling around doing circles around the couch. It looked like it was a big dog, but it's hair was so long that it touched the floor and the way it moved resembled a human crawling on all fours. I was paralyzed with fear and just kept watching it. It felt like 5 minutes passed by when it stopped on the back edge of the couch and I could tell it was looking right at me. That's when I started to yell for the other guys to wake up cause there was something in the room with us. The lights came on and the only thing in its spot was my back pack. I swear that place was haunted.
I woke up at almost dawn, it was cold, i was covered in cold sweat, heart beat go brrr, i tried to sleep, but couldnt. Lied there for a good while, until i realised that backpack in the corner of my room wasnt a backpack, it was a skinny man with dark skin sitting, an by dark skin i mean like grey, black kinda skin. It was horrifying, couldnt look away, im sure you wouldnt turn away from a thing sitting in your room, stared at each other for what felt like hours, eventually i fell asleep, i never had the intention to try to move, but to think about it now, could i have moved?
I've had 3 years of sleep paralysis, where the average episode would go as follows: Strange tingling bug feeling on the back of my neck just before I slipped into the limbo. There is a faint ambience that gets louder the more i try to move, and i hear people screaming, but their screams sound like jet turbines, and i feel the wind of their screams on my face. Often times I'd feel hands holding the sides of my abdomen down, and if I open my eyes there would most likely be a fuzzy figure looking at me from the middle of the room. It isn't a nightmare, it's a waking nightmare, dude.
I get sleep paralysis infrequently. It seems to happen more frequently when I’m stressed out. A common one that happens is a shadow man walks in the room and stabs me in the chest. This will happen multiple times until I snap out of it and actually wake up, so when you get up you’re terrified it’ll happen again. One time it happened when I was younger I hallucinated voices outside of my room when I was home alone. I heard two burglars break and say “just kill anyone you find” and since I was paralyzed I was just freaking out I was going to be killed as I heard them move around the house.
@@nouna3037 I sleep with barely any light in the room. For me it usually happens when I'm falling asleep or an hour or so after I'm out (so probably after the first sleep cycle).
So growing up, my mom has always been a very spiritual person, and throughout my childhood she would mention she thought the spirit of an older woman and a young boy stayed in the house we lived in (just go with it). As I got older, I didn’t really think much of them because I’ve found myself to be more of a realist for a lack of better phrasing. I just remember about 2-3 years ago, I woke in the middle of the night and looked to my wide open door. The boy my mom spoke of came to mind unexpectedly and just me using my imagination, I pretended that if I had seen an intruder I’d had “shot them” using my fingers as a pretend gun. I don’t know why I did that, but I just did. Anyways, I rolled over on my side and coved myself up to try to go back to sleep. Moments later I feel someone breathing close to my exposed ear and then the deep voice of an old man says right in my ear, “He doesn’t like that.” and right then I realize I was completely paralyzed. A few seconds later, I felt the presence leave and that I could move again. My heart racing, I went to my mom’s room to tell her of the encounter.
My only experience is confusing. One time I woke up facing the window right next to my bed. The window looks out into my backyard where my family has a little patio with motion activated lights. The lights were on when I woke up and I was paralyzed so I just stared out into the backyard. I remember hearing what sounded like a little girl crying/or laughing from somewhere in the backyard or something but i couldn’t tell it was really quiet. After a little bit it went away and I kept straining to hear it but I just couldn’t. I then heard what sounded like the floorboard behind me creak and I immediately like it dawned on me that the crying or laughing was coming from actually inside my house. The little girl or whatever then screamed like as loud as it could into my ear and i jolted “awake” or whatever you would call it when you become in paralyzed.
I’ve had sleep paralysis twice, but only hallucinated once. My demon is the stereotypical demon. Tall black figure with white eyes, and a creepy smile. It walked up to my bed and pressed on my chest, which was scary as hell. I couldn’t speak, but the worst part was that I had to piss really bad. What’s weird though is that I only have sleep paralysis right before I get sick.
I've only ever had sleep paralysis one time, I hallucinated that an honest to god little green goblin was laughing at me, and then just left. It wasn't scary at all just kinda funny.
I’m jealous. I love goblins and they are real. They probably came to you in the dream realm (which they can travel to) I have seen goblins in the woods before and they have civilisations where they lock people like you in their dungeons
@@cocoduck7745 well I’ve never dared to eat one because that’s scary. They would lock me in their dungeon if I did, besides I can speak their language so I’m a goblin king of sorts
A year late, but I legitimate have memories from when I was around 18 months. Backed up by a very surprised mum who can remember the situations I'm remembering. So I can remember something that happened 30 years ago, but not what I had to breakfast. Thanks, brain.
Oh man this is SO my topic! Thought I was gonna be institutionalized years back when my sleep-paralysis episodes were full swing. I think lack of sufficient sleep, partying, booze, energy drinks, sleepless study nights, stress were the main culprits. So, late teens, early twenties. Sorry, I'll write down a lot here. I've had terrible vivid nightmares often my whole life. But regarding sleep-paralysis, it all started(I think. There was one other being-paralysed-while-fully-awake-situation in my early teens, but I'll chalk it up to a simple nervous breakdown) with me "waking up" in the middle of the night to a glowing orb floating above, caressing me. Terrified, I pulled the blanket over me, as if that'd protect me somehow. So I lay there panicked, yelling like a sissy, seeing the strong glow through the thick blanket. And then it left through the wall. Took off the blanket, still terrified out of my mind and... Well, I did not wake up - wake up, as it usually is with sleep-paralysis. I just picked up a book and read until morning. To this day I'm fuzzy if that was dreamed or some sort of ball lightning or something. Anyway, that impacted my ability to sleep well in a major way. Which lead to more sleep-paralysis. Like a feedback loop. Next major episode was I "woke up" terrified in the middle of the night, as is tradition, to the strange sensation that I as being watched by an entity in my room. Nearly sobbing I "open" my eyes and in the faint moon-light coming through the window I perceive a being, standing by my bed, looking on the area of my legs. The thing looked just like your standard short, grey, big-headed, big-eyed aliens. But this one was clothed, had a stylish leather vest, or tunic and a full head of back-swept luxurious dreadlocks. Kind of like Predator from the movies. So, I feel that it sensed that I was awake and slowly turned its head to meet my gaze. The terror in me was palpable. I screamed and swung out with my feet, kicking what I felt was nothing. That's it, it's gone. At some point I must've wake up - wake upped, so I turn on the light - nothing there. Of course, no falling back asleep. This followed by me either sleeping with the bedside light on or going to sleep only as the early morning the night starts to fade away. Which, in turn made the whole ordeal worse. Soon after I turned to a psychiatrist who prescribed me several "crazy pills" which, apart from knocking me clean out and turning me into a "drooling zombie", did not help at all. I am also surprised the dr. did not know I was describing sleep paralysis. After a year of this I stumbled upon people describing their similar experiences and found out it was sleep paralysis, not demons, not aliens, not crazy. It's much easier to fight a monster you know, than a something you don't know. Next one I'll probably remember until my dying bed, was a little bit funnier one, albeit, at the time scary as all fuck. So I "wake up" to this weird sense of immense presence behind my head on my neck and a sort of a thumping, tearing sound. I try to look backwards and after straining enough I see a skull. An alive one, twitching and moving about. Panic mode. I reach out with my hands and feel that the skull is connected to my spine. I jump out of the bed, terrified, run to the mirror, the skull-thing still flailing about behind me I feel. I look in the mirror and see that there's a whole-ass half a skeleton trying to bust out of my back, wiggling and straining like a dragonfly from it's nymph body. I see ribcage, arms, pressing against my shoulders. I fear that I will be lost and none the wiser as to why. Then I wake up - wake up. Cold sweat rolling down, I check out the back of my neck in the mirror, relieved as my skeleton is not ripping itself out of its fleshy prison. Note that this was before all the spooky scary doot skeletons memes. (quick addition: maaany years later I had a trip where I dreamed I was flying through parallel universes and in one of them there was a full on civil war between flesh and skeletons. So, that's kind of funky) Between these more notable episodes there were many, many more, but those were, in comparison, boring. Just this immense presence of dread, an entity of immeasurable eldritch power, helplessness, loud noises that weren't noises per say and so on and so forth, you know. The usual. I'd lie if I told you I didn't try to seduce these "demons" at one time or another... If I'll be going through this other-worldly terrifying experience often, might as well negotiate a metaphysical nut or two out of it. Didn't work out.
Thank you for going through the trouble to write all these experiences out. Your a tremendous writer I pictured the whole thing in my head and it was truly terrifying. The skeleton one reminds me of Evil Dead, I could see something like that happening to Ash. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed your stories.
Such an interesting read. I get a light ball one too but it's just loads of white strands flailing around and it's just fly's towards my face with these seemingly blinding bright strands. When I come back to reality I find my head is already turned Asif getting my eyes away from fuzzy ball
I have sleep paralysis quite often. Once I gain the impossible strength to jerk myself awake, I have to close my eyes for 10 seconds or else I’ll see DMT level demons and frightening faces and monsters. Like extremely detailed.
I'll give you the only thing that worked for me to get out of it. I had this happen for 20 years if I sleep on my back. Take all your thoughts and focus them on moving your index finger. This helps take away the panic and can help you snap out of it quicker
I had sleep paralysis once after taking some medicine and going to bed. Had no idea about it before that or heard of “sleep paralysis demons”. First thing I noticed was the noise from the fan in my room got more intense. I was able to open my eyes and saw a really tall dark, shadowy figure slowly walk into my room. It had to suck a bit to go through my doorway. It walked toward me extremely slowly. I couldn’t move or speak so I just sat there watching it. It walked over to the side of my bed and just stood over me for a bit, then it bent down and started whispering in my ear. No idea what it said, the words sounded like gibberish to me - but I remember all the hairs on my neck standing up when it happened. Then it stood back up straight and just stayed there for a while before fading away. It was pretty horrifying at the time. The next morning I told my girlfriend at the time and she was convinced an evil spirit attacked me. I don’t believe in that stuff so I did some research. That’s when I found out about sleep paralysis/night terrors. The interesting thing is that apparently what I experienced is common among people who get sleep paralysis. Weird that different people, some like me who had never even heard of this sort of thing, having the same experience. I told her that it wasn’t a spirit, just a night terror, but she remained convinced that I was haunted/attacked by a spirit. I just gave up and dropped it at that point.
That fan thing is pretty interesting, because for me it was my old ass alarm clock that gradually began getting louder. Was sleeping sideways so I was facing the wall away from the noise, the tick tocks of the clock growing louder and louder, and when I turned around, red light filled the room and the old alarm clock was HUGE, filled the entire room. as the clocks hands hit twelve it stopped and i woke up. weird how objects play into them sometimes too
I remember wrapping myself up in a particularly splotchy patterened peach coloured curtains. I’d stand under one and twirl it around letting it wrap around me tightly like a cocoon, sometimes with my arms out if I was holding something. One time I remember I was doing this at lunch and had a slice of tomato in my hand when I tried to eat it, through the curtain. I remember pushing curtain into my mouth with the tomato and think something along the lines of “well how was that ever gonna work, stupid?”. Those curtains were in a house we moved out of (went overseas) before I was 4. Entirely possible my memory just replaced the curtains, but the new house we lived in didn’t have any long curtains like that, and I have a handful of other memories of that old house.
I have snippets of memories from being 3! I remember standing in daycare for the first time being scared of the other kids (lol), having to introduce myself & some other kid said "that's my name too!" (first friend unlocked), being on the swings, hugging my stuffed animal cat when I couldn't sleep, picking the marshmallows out of lucky charms like a psychopath, crying when my dad dropped me off at daycare, staring at a fire ant on the ground. Little 2-3 second snapshots but nothing longer than that. I don't think I have any continuous/longer memories until 4-5 years old. I've got even shorter bits of memories from older than that (eating cheerios in the stroller, seeing two scotty dogs being walked in the snow, really just like still images at that point. Not even enough to remember a few seconds) but idk if I was 2 or 3 at the time, just that it was before I started preschool (& I know from my parents that I started preschool/daycare at 3, so that's the only reason I know I was 3 for some of those. I've got a tiny handful of pre-daycare memories, but most of them pick up after I started there.) That being said, there's no way I'd be able to relay "one time when I was 3 an orangutan came to my room and talked to me". Closest I can come to is remembering that I had reoccurring nightmares with the monster under the bed in rugrats, which I saw at preschool. However I think I was prob 4-5 at that point and I can't even remember what exactly the bad dreams were, just that they scared me bad enough to wake up crying for a while. I was a very timid child lol
I’ve had sleep paralysis a couple of times and have never seen anything. The only thing that happened to me was that I felt like I was getting dragged off my bed but idk. It felt real af tho
I've had sleep paralysis, on and off and on the occasion, but every single time I've had it, no demons. Every night, Seasons 1-6 of SpongeBob SquarePants play on my Roku's Prime Video app nonstop on loop, and I have a theory. Does having SpongeBob on during sleep paralysis cause the demons to go away? During my several sleep paralysis sessions I would actually watch the episodes because of the position I sleep in with accordance to my television. I have never, ever once had a demon, and I think it's because of SpongeBob.
That's interesting. I've had the same thing happen to me. I don't think there was ever any figure or demon for me either. Anyways, I go to sleep watching stuff I like, not sure what I was watching when this happened. I couldn't see the tv but I remember hearing voices, and not being able to move or breathe, also being scared as shit. I woke up or whatever from it pretty fast I think. Oh I remember trying to yell for help. Another time it happened longer ago and I wasn't watching anything. That time I thought 100% I was dying, and I was trying to scream for help, but couldn't do or say anything, just lay there frozen.
I've had sleep paralysis once for like 10 seconds. if you don't know what it's like, it's kinda like you forget how to move and you can't think straight. It kinda feels claustrophobic In a way
This happened to me yesterday, it was my sister's birthday so i had to stay up until 1am to wait for the relatives to leave from the house to go asleep and i kept waking up and it was 4am while there was a storm and i had some kind of nightmare and when i woke up the image of what i saw in the nightmare was in front of me which scared the shit out of me and had me looking at the same spot for like 10 minutes straight without moving at all
When i get the sleep paralysis, my head is fully awake and the body is still in deepsleep, as if the connection between head and body is lagging behind.
What I remember from being three is sitting in my grandmothers minivan and playing the man running across the power line game (you’ll know it if you aren’t an iPad kid). I then started going on about how “when I was 2 I could fly. When I was 2 I could jump tree to tree” etc basically just thinking I used to be Superman since I couldn’t remember anything. I’m now 22.
I had one where I somehow saw behind me (laying on my side) and "i" was standing behind me but the the me that was standing didn't have a face and it slowly reached for my neck and when it touched the back of my neck and suddenly it was like I was being deafened by loud non stop booming, the scariest part was the initial fear turned into this unbearable rage that actually somehow hurt to feel, and this was before I even knew about sleep paralysis so obviously I thought something was trying to possess me or something lol
MeatCanyon you Godchild. Keep trying new things! You’re fucking hilarious dude! As talented as you are at your horrifying art, you’re genuinely an entertaining individual and I love all of your content!
Ive got HELLA sleep paralysis stories, but my favorites are probably when my closet turned into a giant mouth and tried to swallow me, when a three-eyed silhouetted alien tried to tickle me, when an old woman in black and a creepy hat appeared in the hallway in a flash of lightning, and when my fourth grade teacher ran up the stairs (I heard him coming), levitated up in my bedroom, and whipped pillows around him Magneto-style while laughing evilly
Damn, my dude, that sounds much more than just sleep paralysis. Most of my sleep paralysis is simple creepy shit like me seeing my mom or my sister standing over me or sitting on the bed, feeling the weight on the bed, then actually waking up and there being nobody there. You've got some crazy shit going on in your life.
They seem kinda cool😂 did you get your hog out and assert dominance?😂that was so funny…also I know this comment was from a year ago but have you experienced more? Or still? Coincidentally my dreams or sleep has been getting worse then I seen this meat video😂hopefully I don’t get any crazy dreams
Bro, yeah, I've got some wild stories. One time, I saw an old lady with rotting skin, sitting in a rocking chair, upside-down on the ceiling. That's one of the tame ones. When I have sleep paralysis combined with night terrors, I always have issues breathing and feel like I'm suffocating for the entire time.
My favorite one that I had is when this grey cat with glowing green eyes, jumped up on my bed and was jumping around my feet angry like he was gonna bite the shit out of them. Terrifying at the time, but kinda funny afterwards.
I have but one memory of when I was 3. I was at a spring with my family and I was walking around the shore and these older girls started making fun of me because I was small. But I told them I wasn't small because I was 3 and 3 is big. Then we started arguing over at what age you become "big." That is the only legitimate memory I have of when I was 3.
My family inevitably tells the tale of my "walk about" that I had when I was three. Evidently, when I was 3, I got away from a family get together and took off across a large field. My parents drank and are pretty irresponsible, so this story doesn't surprise me. Anyways...I was gone for nearly 20 hours when I showed up on a strangers door about 6 miles from my parent's home. The sheriff, police, and a local national guard post were all dispatched to find me and I clearly remember loosing a shoe in some mud. The cops found my shoe and were dredging the pond where they found me. My stoned ass parents forgot that part of the story and only remembered it when I asked if I were in a mudpit. I also remember being in a briar patch and thinking birds were pecking me. So that's my Memories of my 3 year old self. I also remember the neighbors having one of those airstream campers. That was also true.
I have this pretty severely but I know when it’s happening so I pretty much just chill and wait it out. Now they have gone from scary shit to me just chilling waiting for it to end. Now I just have fake conversations with my wife and when I wake up she’s still asleep.
hearing you randomly do Dylan and King's voices and then going back to your own without missing a step really shows off your skills. Also my housemate claims her sleep-paralysis demon looks exactly like me, but thankfully only did a really stupid dance.
As someone who suffers from something similar to this, other then the constant anxiety among other things on the plus side it definitely makes every horror/ thriller movie a lot funnier and more tame
I had sleep paralysis one time in my life it was recent. I was sitting at a dinner table I think it was Thanksgiving, with Ryan from Supermega and Meatcanyon....we were opening fortune cookies and my fortune kept saying bad things so I went to the bathroom. I locked the door because I couldn't help shake this feeling. There was a fortune cookie in the toilet (weird I know) so I reached in and grabbed it, what was even weirder was it was dry when I held it. I opened it and it said "Don't Breathe" then all of a sudden Meatcanyon was knocking on the door asking if I "was doing okay baby" he was "worried about me". He tried to open the door while slamming on it with his hand. I just remember him getting more and more aggressive, finally it went silent. It felt like an eternity, all of a sudden Meatcanyon and Ryan busted open the door screaming. I woke up in a dead sweat, scared shitless. Good thing next to my night table I had some Cousin Bucks Famous BBQ and it calmed me down. To this day I wonder what it meant....
I have had sleep paralysis once in my life and it was terrifying.I was 12 or 13 and I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to a dark silhouette looking at me on the other side of the living room. I quickly tried to move but it was no use, and when I tried to speak my mouth wouldn’t open and the sound that tried to Pierce through was muffled. When I blinked it was like my eyes were glued shut and took all my strength to open back up.
Not gonna lie, sleep paralysis was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever experienced. But after like the 100th or more times I just snap myself awake. But I’ve seen grudge lady walking on the ceiling, creepy old ladies, people I know point and laugh hysterically.
Hey Papa Meat, big fan. I have a story about Sleep Paralysis. I never felt it touch me or talk to me, never felt possible when I was in this state, I could not move or make any sounds, or if i could move, i could not feel anything physically like a wall or bed sheets. I referred to this thing as the 'Boogie Man' and it terrorized me for at least a few years, I don't remember age but I think it was around 5 or 6 (Referring to that person that thought they were 3, even if you were three when it happened, you're too young to even understand you're three so... Age isn't really reliable when you're young, memory wise). Anyways. I'd wake up every few nights, completely frozen, with the sight of a pitch black being hanging over my bed, i knew i had to pretend to be asleep because these frozen states manifested into nightmares where if i didn't pretend, it would get me, some dreams that I was running silly slow away from it or hiding behind curtains. A ritual I did for many years whilst and after this period of terror, Was to feel the cold bumpy wall every time I woke up to ensure it was reality. What a time. Theres more but I might expand on this and post it somewhere. Thanks :) And thank you Hunter for this content, Meat Canyon and Creepcast, love it all. RIv
for a year or two, I had sleep paralyses daily, so I am quite used to your regular monster/demon experience. The first thing I want to say is sometimes hallucinations have visuals sometimes, only audio, sometimes touch etc., especially touch is quite uncomfortable. One night I woke up to sleep paralysis and in front of me is myself. I am hearing several voices of myself in my head and my hallucination speaks about how I did not eat enough sunflower seed, and because of that, he is now going to replace me with an inhuman grin. Say he will live my life for himself, meanwhile voices in my head are screaming that I am guilty. one night I dreamed of experiencing sleep paralysis, where a sleep paralysis would end and another one would begin. One night I just saw a massive eye pop out of the hallway and look at me Some regular ones. Hearing footsteps, Something sitting in my chest, Things eating me or putting pressure on my head. Something standing in the corner and just looking at me
When I was 2 years old, around this time of the year, I became very sick. My body stopped producing red blood cells. I had a stroke and my parents took me to the hospital. Long story short I remember being taken on a ride in a small cart by one of the nurses. I remember not feeling well but also having some fun in the middle of it.
My oldest memories was when i was 2 also. I electrocuted myself by sticking my dads keys into a power outlet. I remember doing it then my hands were all black and my dad had me washing them in the bathroom sink. They said they wrapped me in a blanket and i was all shaky. I dont remember that tho
Sounds like a lot of bullshit and the most cliche baby story you can come up with cloudburst. Hey maybe you're mind just made up a memory in place of an empty space
I have a few hazy memories from when I was below the age of 5 but all of them revolved around something upsetting me. One in particular was during an age when I was still in a crib and my only memory of it is sitting in the crib freaking the fuck out cause my aunts porcelain dolls scared the shit out of me. I was supposed to be taking a nap, but I couldn't get over those dolls.
I’ve had it twice and both instances happened the exact same way. Neither time did I visually see anything; I just felt a presence in the room. I remember opening my eyes and my room looked exactly like it had when I went to bed so I thought I was just awake. I didn’t see anything strange but I felt terrified because I could feel that there was a presence in the room. I kinda just shrugged it off like I had just woken up from a nightmare or was being paranoid or something. I then remember it felt like someone just laid on top of me and was suffocating me. I used to have a really puffy comforter when I was younger and I could physically see the blanket contour around my body as I was being laid on. I tried to scream for help but nothing came out no matter how hard I tried. When I had first tried to scream, though, it felt like they stood up and got off of me, but as soon as I stopped it slowly started suffocating me again. When I tried to scream again, it was lifted off me again and then I woke up to my room looking exactly like I had just seen it but the terror and presence were gone. Very very weird and scary to experience for sure. Edit: grammatical errors
I've had it a few times in my life, and thankfully each time I never had this figure over me but I was always like... Awake but not awake. I felt like I was about to die and I just desperately trying to wake up. I was having dreams of like like vomiting blood uncontrollably and feeling so weak I couldn't get to the bathroom or call for help while also like... "THIS IS A DREAM WHY CAN'T I MOVE WAKE UP." It is indeed terrifying, but even though I could still vaguely make out the room around me I still never saw any sort of like figure. That sounds legit terrifying.
My first memory is from when I was 3, it was just me being in awe of the backyard trees, I was standing on the deck just enjoying time in nature. I know I was 3 because we just moved to that house, I also have spotty memories of the previous house but those could have been dreams or visuals of stories others have told me, like the time my sister crawled under the deck to see our dog having puppies and almost getting attacked
I remember something that may have been my first memory. I remember crawling under a table somewhere when there was a man sirting at the table. It may have been one of my Grandfathers or possibly even my Father if I managed to salvage a memory from that long ago.
I have had sleep paralysis a couple times before during high school and a couple years after (SP is mostly caused due to stress) and never had a "demon". It is an easily explained thing: Your brain is awake and you can think and see but the rest of your body is not active. Otherwise, the "demon" is just you having a panic attack. It feels as if something is pressing on your chest and you will breath very heavily after you regain control of your body again. Some people see things during panic attacks but I have not been able to see "something"
i took this subject seriously moreso when i experienced this myself. however, your video generally told me to learn to laugh at what i fear n not take things so seriously or personally. life is short n really sucks at times. it doesn't help to add more on top of it. we have the ability to turn things around and see it on a different light. thank you meatcanyon. I'm going to try to remember this and apply it through out my life.
People develop differently (some even have memories from as young as 2). I have multiple distinct memories from when I was 3 (including multiple from my old babysitter's house, which I was only at from the age of 2-3). I remember the time when I wanted to eat another slice of ham, but the babysitter made me eat another carrot first and I ended up gagging and threw up (leading to a decades long aversion to vegetables that took until my 30s to get over). I also remember the time she mistakenly thought I cut a hole in one of the sheets on a bed, took me around the house (as I cried from her yelling at me) and repeatedly angerly asked me if I used different things to make the hole (a pair of scissors and the claw of a claw hammer are the two things I remember), and then spanked me and put me in time out because she interpreted my crying as a sign of guilt (even though I didn't do it). My parents were furious and she stopped being my babysitter after that.
I've had more intimidating experiences, but in response to this video, ill tell one i dont usually talk about. I fell asleep in my room, and "woke up" downstairs in the living room on a recliner, unable to move, in darkness. I felt pressur on my legs, and it spread up my chest to my face. I swear it made out with me. I was not intimidated, didnt fuck it, it was actually pretty chill.
I have sleep paralysis, they're the most terrifying things I've experienced. Never seen any entities during them but having major anxiety attacks while being trapped paralyzed is enough for me
I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time a few months ago and it was weird as fuck. I legit thought someone was in my room but I was aware and conscious so I was like '"yeah this is all in my head, I'm going back to sleep" and that was it. Crazy how your mind distorts reality to make you think the worst instead of something nice and euphoric.
Ive had so many sleep paralysis dreams/experiences. I didn't know what it was til I was older.. legitimately some of the scariest shit I've ever experienced. Hasn't happened in years but doesn't mean it won't again 😬 lol
Hate to burst the bubble. And its been two years since youve posted this. But I have very clear memories from being 3 years old. Holding my moms hand, walking accross the small bridge in our front yard singing “london bridge is falling down” also the year where we had an insane amount of grasshoppers. Scared me so much I didnt want to go outside.
The oldest memory I can recall was of me with my parents walking across the street to a carnival and looking up in awe at the rides and then falling flat on my face, grazing my knees and having to go home before we got inside. I don't know exactly how old I was but I feel like I woulda been about 3 or 4
I started getting sleep paralysis frequently, on a near daily basis, about a year and a half ago when I turned 19. I have seen some very weird stuff from my sleep paralysis. It started with me just being paralyzed and not hallucinating at all and just feeling like "well this sucks" but progressed onto full on hallucinations. Some stuff I have hallucinated while in sleep paralysis includes an old pale witch sitting on top of my chest, being in hell tortured by a biblically accurate demon, and possibly the strangest one of them all, every object in my room losing its "texture file" and reverting back to its default texture like a glitch in a video game. Just recently I was able to enter a lucid dream from an episode of sleep paralysis.
You should get checked for sleep apnea. Something is consistently waking you up in the middle of REM sleep which could be sleep apnea. The condition can drastically cut your lifespan and quality of life if left untreated
this advice should not be ignored, had sleep paralysis every few days for a year then got the apnea thing sorted and i never get it anymore @@clownworld4655
@@clownworld4655 Thank you for your concern. I have recently stopped having this happen almost entirely. It may be coincidental, may not be, but I’ve lost a good amount of weight so it may have been sleep apnea related. My mental health has also improved quite significantly so that may also played a part and I am on a much better schedule. Whatever the issue was I pretty much only wake up at night to pee now.
I actually have quite a few memories from before I was three. Though, mostly just things that was like really “special” to me back then. Such as the pony I used to “ride” on (his name was Manne, and he was a black Shetland pony stallion), the moose that used to sleep in our yard that my parents called Alma, or how my dad once stole my cute little metal bucket to scoop shit with our farmer neighbor who got some sort of clog in the barns drains and then threw it away because it was filthy. That last one destroyed me...XD
This video had me in tears laughing. Great job Mr PapaMeat sir! (I suffer from night terrors and sleep paralysis - I would say the worst part about it is the fact that it feels like reality and even after its over its like a strange messed up memory. I think the earliest one I can remember was when I was about 8 or 9.)

The very first memory I have is of me sitting with my head in my knees and I think I was counting because I turned around confused and my mom jumps into the room to scare me. It almost makes me feel like I’m not really me and my soul was just thrown into someone else. I don’t remember much else from that time but I know I was 3 or 4 because we lived in an apartment until the year I was to turn 5 and start kindergarten in my new town.
I do also remember my hot wheels super track thing I got for a birthday, being a little bastard at preschool and other random memories.
Edit: I forgot to say I recently turned 18 so I’ll prolly forget by the time I’m 30.
A memory I have of when i was three, was of my first day of primary school, but it was after class and I was sitting across from a teacher doing some sort of maze puzzle where you place your pen in the middle and try to escape, I remember the room I was in was adjacent to my classroom. I think the reason why I was there with the teach was because my mother was busy that day and would end up picking me up late. I remember sitting there for like 20 minutes bored out of life, doing this “hard” maze. I remember getting really pissed off about it and I believe I tried to leave the room. But the teacher stopped me and pulled me back into the room, but I was really stubborn, and the most memorable part of that first day was, when grappled onto the door frame and held on with all the strength in my arms, just so I didn’t have to do that puzzle.
There Meat Canyon, theres a memory from when I was three
no
I can remember when I was three that I lived in an apartment duplex with stairs lookin' building with multiple similar buildings surrounding a playground and my teenaged brother (through unknown hijinks at the time) was the sole reason for us getting evicted and having to live with my aunt.(at the time of the memory I had no context I just remembered the building and then not living there anymore)

I get sleep paralysis pretty often. The scariest demon I get is a anthropomorphic Banana man, who always smiles at me. Some nights I just hear him walking around, with wet mushy footsteps, in my house and outside my window. Sometimes he looks over my bed, looks at me and smiles a toothless smile. He stinks of brown bananas. I hate him.

A lot of these aren't sleep paralysis, they're just weird dreams. There's a distinct lack of describing the feeling of constriction or trying to scream themselves awake.
Yeah being able not to move and trying so hard to Scream it’s feels like your gonna die is a pretty wild feeling
@@nasstynate it's weird to think back in normal waking life and remember the sheer terror and hoping someone heard me scream to come help.

YES!! I haven’t hallucinated, probably because i never open my eyes when i get sleep paralysis but i just feel like i cant breathe properly, pressure on my chest and i just WANT/NEED to move but my body is so damn heavy i cant

8:22 I'm the most down to earth man you'll ever meet. Atheist af. I'm f*cking tall as hell nobody touches me ever, with ZERO traumatic experiences. But to even my own surprise I had a similar experience. I sleep naked sometimes because who cares and I woke up, flat on my belly, no blanket, but was paralysed completely.
IMMEDIATELY as I woke up I felt as if there was a presence closing in on me all the way from downstairs. Hard to describe.. It's not a feeling I normally have.
I don't feel "presences" ever.
While it was coming up I tried to move but I was completely powerless. I could only fear.
And fear I did.
I could physically hear someone walking up the stairs AND THEN even the upstairs hallway sliding door opened..
I know the sounds of someone coming upstairs very well as I lived here all my life, but now I felt so connected to the entity coming up, even without knowing what it was.
It was terrifying... It was in for me...
As it finally reached my room it came in and I suddenly felt that it was my father despite me not being able to see the door (I was facing away from it). I felt INCREASINGLY embarassed in an "oh shit I'm naked and exposed!!" kinda way, but I could not move no matter how hard I tried and he didn't stop closing in without saying a word.
It just came closer without slowing down.
It then put his hand on my butt with his finger on my as*hole and that's the closest I've ever felt to being r*ped. Holy sh*t was that breaking my boundaries.. I immediately understood those victims better.. Why they freeze up, it was horrible. You just don't know what to do and you are only focussed on the fear.
I didn't know what to do!! Hopeless as I was the emberassment switched to anger.
It only took 3 seconds but I was fuming, so angry I could break this demon's neck with my gaze.
My face finally was able to make the emotion of anger, then my body sprung out of the paralysis and I FLEW UP from my position with rage.
There was nothing. No demon. I just sat there, alone.
TL;DR
@@randomshittutorialsthe brain is a crazy thing
I had sleep paralysis a few times when I was younger and had alot of trouble going to/staying asleep. Usually I would wake up facing the wall next to my bed and I could see the shadow of someone standing next to my bed (my window let alot of light into my room so shadows were common). Eventually it would start to move just walking in circles around my room making a pretty loud stomping noise while doing so. Never been so scared to move in my life
I've had a few experiences with this lately. The last two times I was too terrified to move after I was fully awake and then when I was able to get up, I turned on every light in my house and stayed awake till the sun came up. No fun.
@shawnfurness glad im not the only one. I make sure there are no lights on in my room and that I can turn the lights on from my bed to (hopefully) helo with this never happening again
The whole "sleep-paralysis" thing could be summarized by: "He's just standing there, MENACINGLY!!"

The only thing I could feel was fear and all I could do was close my eyes and hope the screaming would end. It was pretty sick, PTSD/10

I've had sleep paralysis episodes where 3 shadow figures come into my room. The tall one would lean over and breathe right in my face. Scariest thing I've ever experienced.
Pretty sure that sleep paralysis is a visual thing, not an auditory thing. But your name is also "Cream Star" so there's that
Two years late to this, but yeah, sleep paralysis is absolutely terrifying. I haven't seen a sleep paralysis "demon," but I did experience auditory hallucinations while sleep paralyzed.
Also, for those that deal with sleep paralysis, a weighted blanket helped me a lot.
I take extra care to not open my eyes during sleep paralysis. I don't want no demon sharing my room without paying rent.
It used to happen to me much more often, and I've noticed it still does tend to happen more often when I sleep on my back and around the 3-4am hours of sleep.. I think stress or something else may play into it as well.
Also, for me, I have sever auditory hallucinations mostly but every other time I'll also have some fairly vivid visual and touch hallucinations as well.
It has never been anything secure for me, though.. the hallucinations are usually of a demon/ghost-like beings, usually of an old woman, which i do not recognize. Not sure why. Sometimes its a more just demon-like creature, as well.
Also I don't usually get the cheat compression feeling as much, but I do get a severe sense of dread and also will be in this strange state where I am wanting to move, make noise, wake up, etc but cannot but at the same time it's like my eyes are extremely heavy but im not wanting to drift too far back into the sleep because the sensation s and hallucinations get more intense.. and also it just has this super strange feeling when it feels im slipping back into a more sleep state, so it's just.. scary, idk.
So eventually I just get myself to wake up enough, get up and grab some water or use the bathroom and calm down a bit, and then try to lay back down and sleep. Sometimes it's a few minute ordeal but sometimes it will be on and off for hours, flowing into dream states and lucid dreams as well, and then back to wake but sleep paralysis.
I would say its maybe a once every 2-3 months occurrence. Maybe a few more if it s abad month or something, but then sometimes ill go 6 months or more with it not happening.
Still not sure what seems to set it off.
The closest I’ve ever had to a physical hallucination was having felt someone lay on top of me. Thought it was my disable uncle and tried yelling at him but only could moan. At the time I was mixing Zoloft with kratom
I had sleep paralysis once and I saw the grim reaper standing in the corner of my room and I wanted to piss myself, they just stood there staring at me from underneath its cloak and a skeletal hand holding a scythe
I've never heard anything but I see stuff all the time post lucid dream
You should do more of these. That is, just reading ridiculous stories from the internet in your voices. Hilarious and would be a good way to keep your channels going while you take your break from animation
Yes
I remember dragging my head across the ground when I was about 3, and the reason why was because I thought I was a bulldozer. So yeah… definitely agree with the bowling ball brain analogy.
Nice
I remember having a plastic bucket of sniffing rocks, I betcha can't even imagine what I uh did to em you couldn't ever guess...
I used to get sleep paralysis every once in a while in my late teens to mid 20s. I never had any hallucinations, just woke up groggy and paralyzed with some mild panic. It never lasted long, I'd just try like a mf to move and eventually I'd get myself to sit up or roll over. It's a really odd sensation feeling your body come out of that state, it's like I could feel my body going from 0% strength and completely paralyzed back to 100% stength slowly over the course of a few minutes. That first bit of regained movement is always a huge relief, but you also briefly feel like you have the strength of a newborn baby.
The night is a very terryfiyng experience for me . Im 20 and ever since I was a kid I had this sort of weird things happen to me while sleeping. When I was a kid I would literally see myslef sleeping out of my body and my room and everything around it. Now I suffer a lot with sleep paralysis and halucinations at night and auditory hallucinations aswell. One of my most terrifying sleep paralysis stories for me is that I was once in my room trying to sleep and I see 3 shadow people. 2 small ones were on top of me at my feet, and a big large one at my right side. The big one had a big white eye and very big hands and long fingers. I was trying to not look at them while they were hurting me and it felt like they were burning me from the inside. They suddenly opened their mouths and they let out a scream. They screamed like zomibes from zombies movies or like how metal rock stars scream. A few seconds later they left and I got up of my bed all sweaty. Thats the reason why I like to sleep with the lights on. In a few occasions I even hear wolfs even when I live in an area where there arent any that I think of.
Man I do this ALL THE TIME
Feeling like you can't breath is the most panicky part IMO.
This is true
Used to have sleep paralysis a lot before I got treatment for sleep apnea. My most memorable dream was seeing a gray, fleshy spider with an old man's face crawling around on the floor. Before I regained the ability to move again, it introduced itself as "Meatball" and said it was pregnant, then vanished. To this day, I've never seen Meatball again, but I hope he's well. I used to hallucinate a woman with no arms who would stand over me and bleed on me too. She wasn't as chill as Meatball.
Then Meatball visits you years later with a happy family in tow.
Did he sound like meatwad?
I once had a sleep paralysis demon. It was Eric Andre
God why is it always something horrifying
I actually really suffered with this as a kid (and can still find myself slipping back there every now and then as an adult 29)
My thing was that I would wake up, which was semi real, and my bed had turned into a Iron Maiden. It would open and close on my body over and over and over again. I really believe that I felt the pain that would come with it. After several minutes I would muster the strength to jump out of bed and run to my parents room. Mid panic attack, I would cry in my parents bed, as they tried to calm me down. Eventually falling asleep in between them. This happened about once a month until I was 12/13. Not sure what changed, but I can still feel the same exact anxiety every now and again when I can’t fall sleep.
I don’t sleep well.
That's nuts bro. Sucks.
Sleeping issues have really fueled my drug addiction over the years. I have a nightmare/sleeping disorder and when I use, I don’t dream for some reason.
I was prescribed a med that makes you not dream, they don’t know why it does it, but it does. And I absolutely loved it. It’s technically a heart med and now I have heart problems (not from the med but drug addiction), so I currently can’t take it. But I’d highly recommend it to anyone with chronic nightmares, it’s called Prazosin. Helped me a lot and my kids dad who also had sleep paralysis.
It sucks when you actually feel the pain in a dream. Makes me believe in, “mind over matter”.
@Wrongthinker that’s probably not the worst idea. I typically sleep on my back with my arms up.
Get a sleep study duderino.
Yeah sleep paralysis used to be terrifying to me but I’ve had them every night for about 5 years. So now they don’t even phase me. I’ve even learned to move in them. Which is what invokes lucid dreaming. Now I control my dreams every night. Turned a negative into a positive mate! Never slept any better :)
“Is it possible to learn this power?”
@@igorulrich7505 "Not from a Jedi"
@@igorulrich7505 why yes. Wake yourself up at ab 3 am and fight sleep for about 30 mins. Then go back to sleep on your back. Thank me later.
Only happened once, we kept my great grandmothers house after she died, so one time while I was staying the night by myself she appeared as a typical ghost and just hovered on the other side of the room. Same experience, I heard somebody enter the house, walk upstairs and rummage through stuff. Then again, I could have actually been visited by my dead grandmother while my house was robbed.
yo intertesting that people rummaging through stuff is a common sleep paralysis trope. had that happen the first few times i had hallucinations. i eventually learned to control the scenario. these days, no sleep paralysis. had it very regularly my 3rd year of college. probably cuz of a fucked sleep schedule.
@@oldboy9267 yeah like too many all nighters then your body just doesnt wanna let you stop sleeping anymore?
I was really sick once and was on the couch, trying to watch tv, when it felt like the world froze in time. I saw the coffee table beside me suddenly shatter into splinters, this horrible roar of multiple things - buildings, streets, worlds - being ground into nothing. The next thing I knew my girlfriend was shaking me as I was screaming.
the last couple of years I've had sleep paralysis on and off pretty frequently. the weirdest shit I saw was this cartoon crumpled up beer can that looked kinda like the map character from Dora the explorer. It sat right next to my face on the pillow, and had that same smile, but it wore shades. didn't move, made no noise at all, except the shades GLITCHED up and down, covering and showing its eyes over and over with no frames between open/closed. it just stared at me with a big open smile with the shades glitching, and it pissed me off so much I wanted to grab it and throw it against the wall, but I couldn't move, so I just had to sit there looking at it taunt me until it faded away
Ngl this sounds sus but I’d wanna be pounding meatcanyon like in the story he read
i've had sleep paralysis 100s of times in my life. At first it was always scary with demons and shit happening. But after a while I was so used to it that I would know immediately I have it. And when that happened the demons went away and were replaced but some of the weirdest shit.
One time a band from Mexico ran up to me in paralysis and started serenading me with acoustic guitars. Another time a tv appeared on my wall, and it had all these crazy fractals and shit happening and I realized I could control the fractals with my mind. I'd tell it what color I wanted and it would change to that color. So yeah sleep paralysis becomes funny and often pleasant when you stop being afraid of it.
Another funny story, once I saw the Green Goblin from spiderman painting a picture of himself on my wall, and he turned around to me and laughed and said "your parents are going to be so pissed!" in Willem Dafoe's voice, then turned into spiderman kinda (more like a red and blue blob vaguely shaped like a human) and jumped into the painting and hid behind a tree that suddenly materialized in the painting, so I couldn't see him. I sat there intently assuming I would see him since he would have to walk from behind the tree at some point, and he never did, then I woke up.
Man that sounds funny. I used to have them a lot. Not being scared of them really didn't change anything by me
I’ve had them since I was like 5 years old, getting dragged out of the bed and shit or having E.T. as the “demon” haha. Creepiest one I had was just some wraith whistling some really disturbing tune next beside me. Now I just focus on moving my pinky in the sleep paralysis and it’s over in like a sec
I've found that the only time I experience sleep paralysis (which I didn't believe in for the longest time til it started happening to me) is when I listen to one of those relaxing forest/nature/rain videos to sleep. And when it happens I just basically start yelling to try and wake up, but it comes out as either gibberish or just moaning. And usually when it happens there isn't really a demon per say but more like I just feel that presence in the room. Then my girl usually wakes me up saying I was moaning loud lol
I sometimes wake up and I'm unable to move my body but it usually only last for like 10 seconds. Also I don't hallucinate any demons or anything. It usually occurs during siestas or like when I am really tired. Is this sleep paralysis or something else?
@@user_2793 Yes it's sleep paralysis... well 95% chance it is. The not being able to move your body is the hallmark of sleep paralysis. I have had plenty of sleep paralysis where nothing happened.
Imagine if papa meat got sleep paralysis but all of his demons were just characters he has created
That would probably be scarier and more arousing than most
Just the Steve Harvey video
when i was 3 i remember my nana got stung by a scorpion, dont remember the whole thing but i DO remember seeing her jump up and crawling to investigate before being abducted by my mother from the scene. she didnt show up much in my life as i grew up so it stuck with me. deserved.
I DO have a memory from when I was 3 years old actually. But, to be honest, it was because an adult broke one of my legs. It was traumatic enough that it stuck with me and to this day I can recall my days and nights in the hospital with a lot of clarity. I had this mechanical brace/bar thing surgically attached to my leg to hold the femur bone together while it healed. I can remember the weeks having that thing sticking out of my leg with 6 barbs drilled all the way through and down into the bone itself. Left me with 6 good scars too. So, in conclusion, it is possible to hold memory from that far back. Though I doubt dreaming about a monkey would be traumatic enough to retain memory the way I did. They say children suppress trauma so they don't remember, but that's not at all the case with me.
Yeah I know I had the same thing happen to me with trauma. I cracked my head open and went to the hospital at that age.
I know at least 2 people that remember shit from when they were babies. They have an uncanny ability to remember stuff to this day
I have a memory when I was like 1 or 2 months old
@@virtzrl same but I was 5 not 3. Sledding off a hill I lived on and flew off the edge. Ice was roughly 2" thick because we lived in a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Busted my head open pretty bad. I remember getting airborne, hitting my head, the giant blood splotch growing under me, when my grandma panicked and I didn't (probably in shock, i just knew my grandma was really worried and i didnt seem to care) taken to the urgent care and got stitches. And then the memory fades.
@@EeekItsSnek You're story sounds way more exciting than mine lmao. I busted my head on a fucking tv stand. I ended up having to get 3 stitches and 3 staples because of it.

more videos! cmon man
I’ve had sleep paralysis twice in my life, once when I was a kid and once about a week ago. When I was a kid, the nightmare was me paralyzed and blind, and the terror that I felt, feeling that I was blind and would never see again, it really terrified me beyond description. The second one was like I couldn’t get out of bed, every time I tried to sit up, I would make no progress, but for some reason I wasn’t scared at all, I just kept trying to get up until I woke up and realized I had been asleep.
It's so fascinating hearing people's sleep paralysis stories since I've never experienced it before
Most of these stories sound fake as hell. Just saying, so you don't go away thinking that this is what sleep paralysis is like.
I've had a few experiences with these situations. I used to work security for a ship yard and was under alot of stress. During your duty days you slept on the facility in their barracks. I don't know what time it was when I woke up, but in the dark room I could make out the couch we had, and there was something crawling around doing circles around the couch. It looked like it was a big dog, but it's hair was so long that it touched the floor and the way it moved resembled a human crawling on all fours. I was paralyzed with fear and just kept watching it. It felt like 5 minutes passed by when it stopped on the back edge of the couch and I could tell it was looking right at me. That's when I started to yell for the other guys to wake up cause there was something in the room with us. The lights came on and the only thing in its spot was my back pack. I swear that place was haunted.
I woke up at almost dawn, it was cold, i was covered in cold sweat, heart beat go brrr, i tried to sleep, but couldnt. Lied there for a good while, until i realised that backpack in the corner of my room wasnt a backpack, it was a skinny man with dark skin sitting, an by dark skin i mean like grey, black kinda skin. It was horrifying, couldnt look away, im sure you wouldnt turn away from a thing sitting in your room, stared at each other for what felt like hours, eventually i fell asleep, i never had the intention to try to move, but to think about it now, could i have moved?
I've had 3 years of sleep paralysis, where the average episode would go as follows: Strange tingling bug feeling on the back of my neck just before I slipped into the limbo. There is a faint ambience that gets louder the more i try to move, and i hear people screaming, but their screams sound like jet turbines, and i feel the wind of their screams on my face. Often times I'd feel hands holding the sides of my abdomen down, and if I open my eyes there would most likely be a fuzzy figure looking at me from the middle of the room. It isn't a nightmare, it's a waking nightmare, dude.
Among other things, same with the loud sounds and the eerie feeling on the back of the neck. Hard to describe.
1/10 needs more sleep paralysis demons
I get sleep paralysis infrequently. It seems to happen more frequently when I’m stressed out. A common one that happens is a shadow man walks in the room and stabs me in the chest. This will happen multiple times until I snap out of it and actually wake up, so when you get up you’re terrified it’ll happen again.
One time it happened when I was younger I hallucinated voices outside of my room when I was home alone. I heard two burglars break and say “just kill anyone you find” and since I was paralyzed I was just freaking out I was going to be killed as I heard them move around the house.
Do you sleep with any lights or it happens in the mornings? cuz ussualy that happens in my experience
@@nouna3037 I sleep with barely any light in the room. For me it usually happens when I'm falling asleep or an hour or so after I'm out (so probably after the first sleep cycle).
really enjoying the use of Severian's depiction on the cover of Shadow of the Torturer in the scene around 12:10, high tier
Jesus hunter, you’d make such a great hardcore metal vocalist. Those screams in the raid commercial were really impressive
I was going to suggest he start a hardcore band
So growing up, my mom has always been a very spiritual person, and throughout my childhood she would mention she thought the spirit of an older woman and a young boy stayed in the house we lived in (just go with it). As I got older, I didn’t really think much of them because I’ve found myself to be more of a realist for a lack of better phrasing. I just remember about 2-3 years ago, I woke in the middle of the night and looked to my wide open door. The boy my mom spoke of came to mind unexpectedly and just me using my imagination, I pretended that if I had seen an intruder I’d had “shot them” using my fingers as a pretend gun. I don’t know why I did that, but I just did. Anyways, I rolled over on my side and coved myself up to try to go back to sleep. Moments later I feel someone breathing close to my exposed ear and then the deep voice of an old man says right in my ear, “He doesn’t like that.” and right then I realize I was completely paralyzed. A few seconds later, I felt the presence leave and that I could move again. My heart racing, I went to my mom’s room to tell her of the encounter.
Holy cow that would've been terrifying, what did she say??
jesus
wow
are you ok
My only experience is confusing. One time I woke up facing the window right next to my bed. The window looks out into my backyard where my family has a little patio with motion activated lights. The lights were on when I woke up and I was paralyzed so I just stared out into the backyard. I remember hearing what sounded like a little girl crying/or laughing from somewhere in the backyard or something but i couldn’t tell it was really quiet. After a little bit it went away and I kept straining to hear it but I just couldn’t. I then heard what sounded like the floorboard behind me creak and I immediately like it dawned on me that the crying or laughing was coming from actually inside my house. The little girl or whatever then screamed like as loud as it could into my ear and i jolted “awake” or whatever you would call it when you become in paralyzed.
I’ve had sleep paralysis twice, but only hallucinated once. My demon is the stereotypical demon. Tall black figure with white eyes, and a creepy smile. It walked up to my bed and pressed on my chest, which was scary as hell. I couldn’t speak, but the worst part was that I had to piss really bad. What’s weird though is that I only have sleep paralysis right before I get sick.
Idk bout you guys, but he's getting better at the raid shadow legends sponsors
14:42 I haven't laughed that hard in a long ass time hope you do more sleep paralysis stories this shit is hilarious
For real this could be a whole series 😂
Same here funny asf 🤣
That shit was fucking amazing.
This with a castlevania spin would be perfect.
I've only ever had sleep paralysis one time, I hallucinated that an honest to god little green goblin was laughing at me, and then just left. It wasn't scary at all just kinda funny.
I’m jealous. I love goblins and they are real. They probably came to you in the dream realm (which they can travel to) I have seen goblins in the woods before and they have civilisations where they lock people like you in their dungeons

@@cocoduck7745 well I’ve never dared to eat one because that’s scary. They would lock me in their dungeon if I did, besides I can speak their language so I’m a goblin king of sorts
Did you steal this story from Chris RayGun on his podcast, "The Snark Tank?"
A year late, but I legitimate have memories from when I was around 18 months. Backed up by a very surprised mum who can remember the situations I'm remembering.
So I can remember something that happened 30 years ago, but not what I had to breakfast. Thanks, brain.
Oh man this is SO my topic! Thought I was gonna be institutionalized years back when my sleep-paralysis episodes were full swing. I think lack of sufficient sleep, partying, booze, energy drinks, sleepless study nights, stress were the main culprits. So, late teens, early twenties. Sorry, I'll write down a lot here.
I've had terrible vivid nightmares often my whole life. But regarding sleep-paralysis, it all started(I think. There was one other being-paralysed-while-fully-awake-situation in my early teens, but I'll chalk it up to a simple nervous breakdown) with me "waking up" in the middle of the night to a glowing orb floating above, caressing me. Terrified, I pulled the blanket over me, as if that'd protect me somehow. So I lay there panicked, yelling like a sissy, seeing the strong glow through the thick blanket. And then it left through the wall. Took off the blanket, still terrified out of my mind and... Well, I did not wake up - wake up, as it usually is with sleep-paralysis. I just picked up a book and read until morning. To this day I'm fuzzy if that was dreamed or some sort of ball lightning or something. Anyway, that impacted my ability to sleep well in a major way. Which lead to more sleep-paralysis. Like a feedback loop.
Next major episode was I "woke up" terrified in the middle of the night, as is tradition, to the strange sensation that I as being watched by an entity in my room. Nearly sobbing I "open" my eyes and in the faint moon-light coming through the window I perceive a being, standing by my bed, looking on the area of my legs. The thing looked just like your standard short, grey, big-headed, big-eyed aliens. But this one was clothed, had a stylish leather vest, or tunic and a full head of back-swept luxurious dreadlocks. Kind of like Predator from the movies. So, I feel that it sensed that I was awake and slowly turned its head to meet my gaze. The terror in me was palpable. I screamed and swung out with my feet, kicking what I felt was nothing. That's it, it's gone. At some point I must've wake up - wake upped, so I turn on the light - nothing there. Of course, no falling back asleep. This followed by me either sleeping with the bedside light on or going to sleep only as the early morning the night starts to fade away. Which, in turn made the whole ordeal worse. Soon after I turned to a psychiatrist who prescribed me several "crazy pills" which, apart from knocking me clean out and turning me into a "drooling zombie", did not help at all. I am also surprised the dr. did not know I was describing sleep paralysis. After a year of this I stumbled upon people describing their similar experiences and found out it was sleep paralysis, not demons, not aliens, not crazy. It's much easier to fight a monster you know, than a something you don't know.
Next one I'll probably remember until my dying bed, was a little bit funnier one, albeit, at the time scary as all fuck. So I "wake up" to this weird sense of immense presence behind my head on my neck and a sort of a thumping, tearing sound. I try to look backwards and after straining enough I see a skull. An alive one, twitching and moving about. Panic mode. I reach out with my hands and feel that the skull is connected to my spine. I jump out of the bed, terrified, run to the mirror, the skull-thing still flailing about behind me I feel. I look in the mirror and see that there's a whole-ass half a skeleton trying to bust out of my back, wiggling and straining like a dragonfly from it's nymph body. I see ribcage, arms, pressing against my shoulders. I fear that I will be lost and none the wiser as to why. Then I wake up - wake up. Cold sweat rolling down, I check out the back of my neck in the mirror, relieved as my skeleton is not ripping itself out of its fleshy prison. Note that this was before all the spooky scary doot skeletons memes. (quick addition: maaany years later I had a trip where I dreamed I was flying through parallel universes and in one of them there was a full on civil war between flesh and skeletons. So, that's kind of funky)
Between these more notable episodes there were many, many more, but those were, in comparison, boring. Just this immense presence of dread, an entity of immeasurable eldritch power, helplessness, loud noises that weren't noises per say and so on and so forth, you know. The usual.
I'd lie if I told you I didn't try to seduce these "demons" at one time or another... If I'll be going through this other-worldly terrifying experience often, might as well negotiate a metaphysical nut or two out of it. Didn't work out.
That's a lot of words.
Too bad I'm not readin em.
Thank you for going through the trouble to write all these experiences out. Your a tremendous writer I pictured the whole thing in my head and it was truly terrifying. The skeleton one reminds me of Evil Dead, I could see something like that happening to Ash. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed your stories.
Such an interesting read. I get a light ball one too but it's just loads of white strands flailing around and it's just fly's towards my face with these seemingly blinding bright strands. When I come back to reality I find my head is already turned Asif getting my eyes away from fuzzy ball
I have sleep paralysis quite often. Once I gain the impossible strength to jerk myself awake, I have to close my eyes for 10 seconds or else I’ll see DMT level demons and frightening faces and monsters. Like extremely detailed.
Happened once to me forcefully got out just like u said
The effort of exertion to get out of it is no joke.
Had this on a regular basis as a kid. Not so much now.
I gotta be real, I had to reread the second sentence 4 times to make sure I read it right. I didn't the first three times
Same happened yestersay so i had to be bellow my pillow for hours because kept picturing stuff
I'll give you the only thing that worked for me to get out of it. I had this happen for 20 years if I sleep on my back. Take all your thoughts and focus them on moving your index finger. This helps take away the panic and can help you snap out of it quicker
"how much of this is repressed memory?"
That question makes a lot of these even more disgusting than they already are
I think some of them are because suppressed memories.
I had sleep paralysis once after taking some medicine and going to bed. Had no idea about it before that or heard of “sleep paralysis demons”.
First thing I noticed was the noise from the fan in my room got more intense. I was able to open my eyes and saw a really tall dark, shadowy figure slowly walk into my room. It had to suck a bit to go through my doorway. It walked toward me extremely slowly. I couldn’t move or speak so I just sat there watching it. It walked over to the side of my bed and just stood over me for a bit, then it bent down and started whispering in my ear. No idea what it said, the words sounded like gibberish to me - but I remember all the hairs on my neck standing up when it happened. Then it stood back up straight and just stayed there for a while before fading away. It was pretty horrifying at the time.
The next morning I told my girlfriend at the time and she was convinced an evil spirit attacked me. I don’t believe in that stuff so I did some research. That’s when I found out about sleep paralysis/night terrors. The interesting thing is that apparently what I experienced is common among people who get sleep paralysis. Weird that different people, some like me who had never even heard of this sort of thing, having the same experience.
I told her that it wasn’t a spirit, just a night terror, but she remained convinced that I was haunted/attacked by a spirit. I just gave up and dropped it at that point.
That fan thing is pretty interesting, because for me it was my old ass alarm clock that gradually began getting louder. Was sleeping sideways so I was facing the wall away from the noise, the tick tocks of the clock growing louder and louder, and when I turned around, red light filled the room and the old alarm clock was HUGE, filled the entire room. as the clocks hands hit twelve it stopped and i woke up. weird how objects play into them sometimes too

That’s amore
I remember wrapping myself up in a particularly splotchy patterened peach coloured curtains. I’d stand under one and twirl it around letting it wrap around me tightly like a cocoon, sometimes with my arms out if I was holding something. One time I remember I was doing this at lunch and had a slice of tomato in my hand when I tried to eat it, through the curtain. I remember pushing curtain into my mouth with the tomato and think something along the lines of “well how was that ever gonna work, stupid?”.
Those curtains were in a house we moved out of (went overseas) before I was 4.
Entirely possible my memory just replaced the curtains, but the new house we lived in didn’t have any long curtains like that, and I have a handful of other memories of that old house.
I have snippets of memories from being 3! I remember standing in daycare for the first time being scared of the other kids (lol), having to introduce myself & some other kid said "that's my name too!" (first friend unlocked), being on the swings, hugging my stuffed animal cat when I couldn't sleep, picking the marshmallows out of lucky charms like a psychopath, crying when my dad dropped me off at daycare, staring at a fire ant on the ground. Little 2-3 second snapshots but nothing longer than that. I don't think I have any continuous/longer memories until 4-5 years old. I've got even shorter bits of memories from older than that (eating cheerios in the stroller, seeing two scotty dogs being walked in the snow, really just like still images at that point. Not even enough to remember a few seconds) but idk if I was 2 or 3 at the time, just that it was before I started preschool (& I know from my parents that I started preschool/daycare at 3, so that's the only reason I know I was 3 for some of those. I've got a tiny handful of pre-daycare memories, but most of them pick up after I started there.)
That being said, there's no way I'd be able to relay "one time when I was 3 an orangutan came to my room and talked to me". Closest I can come to is remembering that I had reoccurring nightmares with the monster under the bed in rugrats, which I saw at preschool. However I think I was prob 4-5 at that point and I can't even remember what exactly the bad dreams were, just that they scared me bad enough to wake up crying for a while. I was a very timid child lol
I’ve had sleep paralysis a couple of times and have never seen anything. The only thing that happened to me was that I felt like I was getting dragged off my bed but idk. It felt real af tho
Fuck the demon. If they come back the next night, run
I've had sleep paralysis, on and off and on the occasion, but every single time I've had it, no demons. Every night, Seasons 1-6 of SpongeBob SquarePants play on my Roku's Prime Video app nonstop on loop, and I have a theory. Does having SpongeBob on during sleep paralysis cause the demons to go away? During my several sleep paralysis sessions I would actually watch the episodes because of the position I sleep in with accordance to my television. I have never, ever once had a demon, and I think it's because of SpongeBob.
That's interesting. I've had the same thing happen to me. I don't think there was ever any figure or demon for me either. Anyways, I go to sleep watching stuff I like, not sure what I was watching when this happened. I couldn't see the tv but I remember hearing voices, and not being able to move or breathe, also being scared as shit. I woke up or whatever from it pretty fast I think. Oh I remember trying to yell for help.
Another time it happened longer ago and I wasn't watching anything. That time I thought 100% I was dying, and I was trying to scream for help, but couldn't do or say anything, just lay there frozen.
I've had sleep paralysis once for like 10 seconds. if you don't know what it's like, it's kinda like you forget how to move and you can't think straight. It kinda feels claustrophobic In a way
Did your sleep paralysis involve you being cooked by any chance?
This happened to me yesterday, it was my sister's birthday so i had to stay up until 1am to wait for the relatives to leave from the house to go asleep and i kept waking up and it was 4am while there was a storm and i had some kind of nightmare and when i woke up the image of what i saw in the nightmare was in front of me which scared the shit out of me and had me looking at the same spot for like 10 minutes straight without moving at all
When i get the sleep paralysis, my head is fully awake and the body is still in deepsleep, as if the connection between head and body is lagging behind.

What I remember from being three is sitting in my grandmothers minivan and playing the man running across the power line game (you’ll know it if you aren’t an iPad kid). I then started going on about how “when I was 2 I could fly. When I was 2 I could jump tree to tree” etc basically just thinking I used to be Superman since I couldn’t remember anything. I’m now 22.
If it's any consolation, you're my sleep paralysis demon.
@ТоммуInnit 🅥 I've been pseudotrolled!
Oh yeah mean to tell ya from last night, stop wearing socks in bed ok?
See you next time!
@@RogueSanta YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU COME MAKE ME?!
I had one where I somehow saw behind me (laying on my side) and "i" was standing behind me but the the me that was standing didn't have a face and it slowly reached for my neck and when it touched the back of my neck and suddenly it was like I was being deafened by loud non stop booming, the scariest part was the initial fear turned into this unbearable rage that actually somehow hurt to feel, and this was before I even knew about sleep paralysis so obviously I thought something was trying to possess me or something lol
that nonstop booming is accurate
Ouch...Ive felt that non-stop booming. I think it was heartrate or blood pressure just going wild!
9:42 that sounds like a lucid dream…
A lucid dream is a dream that you create and goes away when you realize you’re dreaming
Love seeing the reanimator on the TV in the background
Sick film
We need more of this, legit died laughing 😂😂

MeatCanyon you Godchild. Keep trying new things! You’re fucking hilarious dude! As talented as you are at your horrifying art, you’re genuinely an entertaining individual and I love all of your content!
Ive got HELLA sleep paralysis stories, but my favorites are probably when my closet turned into a giant mouth and tried to swallow me, when a three-eyed silhouetted alien tried to tickle me, when an old woman in black and a creepy hat appeared in the hallway in a flash of lightning, and when my fourth grade teacher ran up the stairs (I heard him coming), levitated up in my bedroom, and whipped pillows around him Magneto-style while laughing evilly
They are all sexual because they are not real and lies
Damn, my dude, that sounds much more than just sleep paralysis. Most of my sleep paralysis is simple creepy shit like me seeing my mom or my sister standing over me or sitting on the bed, feeling the weight on the bed, then actually waking up and there being nobody there.
You've got some crazy shit going on in your life.
They seem kinda cool😂 did you get your hog out and assert dominance?😂that was so funny…also I know this comment was from a year ago but have you experienced more? Or still? Coincidentally my dreams or sleep has been getting worse then I seen this meat video😂hopefully I don’t get any crazy dreams
Bro, yeah, I've got some wild stories. One time, I saw an old lady with rotting skin, sitting in a rocking chair, upside-down on the ceiling. That's one of the tame ones. When I have sleep paralysis combined with night terrors, I always have issues breathing and feel like I'm suffocating for the entire time.
My favorite one that I had is when this grey cat with glowing green eyes, jumped up on my bed and was jumping around my feet angry like he was gonna bite the shit out of them. Terrifying at the time, but kinda funny afterwards.
I have but one memory of when I was 3.
I was at a spring with my family and I was walking around the shore and these older girls started making fun of me because I was small. But I told them I wasn't small because I was 3 and 3 is big. Then we started arguing over at what age you become "big." That is the only legitimate memory I have of when I was 3.
My family inevitably tells the tale of my "walk about" that I had when I was three. Evidently, when I was 3, I got away from a family get together and took off across a large field. My parents drank and are pretty irresponsible, so this story doesn't surprise me. Anyways...I was gone for nearly 20 hours when I showed up on a strangers door about 6 miles from my parent's home. The sheriff, police, and a local national guard post were all dispatched to find me and I clearly remember loosing a shoe in some mud. The cops found my shoe and were dredging the pond where they found me. My stoned ass parents forgot that part of the story and only remembered it when I asked if I were in a mudpit. I also remember being in a briar patch and thinking birds were pecking me. So that's my Memories of my 3 year old self. I also remember the neighbors having one of those airstream campers. That was also true.
Holy fuck
I have this pretty severely but I know when it’s happening so I pretty much just chill and wait it out. Now they have gone from scary shit to me just chilling waiting for it to end. Now I just have fake conversations with my wife and when I wake up she’s still asleep.
That’s scary no 🧢
hearing you randomly do Dylan and King's voices and then going back to your own without missing a step really shows off your skills.
Also my housemate claims her sleep-paralysis demon looks exactly like me, but thankfully only did a really stupid dance.
As someone who suffers from something similar to this, other then the constant anxiety among other things on the plus side it definitely makes every horror/ thriller movie a lot funnier and more tame
I had sleep paralysis one time in my life it was recent. I was sitting at a dinner table I think it was Thanksgiving, with Ryan from Supermega and Meatcanyon....we were opening fortune cookies and my fortune kept saying bad things so I went to the bathroom. I locked the door because I couldn't help shake this feeling. There was a fortune cookie in the toilet (weird I know) so I reached in and grabbed it, what was even weirder was it was dry when I held it. I opened it and it said "Don't Breathe" then all of a sudden Meatcanyon was knocking on the door asking if I "was doing okay baby" he was "worried about me". He tried to open the door while slamming on it with his hand. I just remember him getting more and more aggressive, finally it went silent. It felt like an eternity, all of a sudden Meatcanyon and Ryan busted open the door screaming. I woke up in a dead sweat, scared shitless. Good thing next to my night table I had some Cousin Bucks Famous BBQ and it calmed me down. To this day I wonder what it meant....
I have had sleep paralysis once in my life and it was terrifying.I was 12 or 13 and I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to a dark silhouette looking at me on the other side of the living room. I quickly tried to move but it was no use, and when I tried to speak my mouth wouldn’t open and the sound that tried to Pierce through was muffled. When I blinked it was like my eyes were glued shut and took all my strength to open back up.
Not gonna lie, sleep paralysis was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever experienced. But after like the 100th or more times I just snap myself awake. But I’ve seen grudge lady walking on the ceiling, creepy old ladies, people I know point and laugh hysterically.
Hey Papa Meat, big fan. I have a story about Sleep Paralysis. I never felt it touch me or talk to me, never felt possible when I was in this state, I could not move or make any sounds, or if i could move, i could not feel anything physically like a wall or bed sheets. I referred to this thing as the 'Boogie Man' and it terrorized me for at least a few years, I don't remember age but I think it was around 5 or 6 (Referring to that person that thought they were 3, even if you were three when it happened, you're too young to even understand you're three so... Age isn't really reliable when you're young, memory wise). Anyways. I'd wake up every few nights, completely frozen, with the sight of a pitch black being hanging over my bed, i knew i had to pretend to be asleep because these frozen states manifested into nightmares where if i didn't pretend, it would get me, some dreams that I was running silly slow away from it or hiding behind curtains. A ritual I did for many years whilst and after this period of terror, Was to feel the cold bumpy wall every time I woke up to ensure it was reality. What a time. Theres more but I might expand on this and post it somewhere.
Thanks :) And thank you Hunter for this content, Meat Canyon and Creepcast, love it all.

You never cease to make me laugh. You're probably one of the funniest and most entertaining people on this platform.
for a year or two, I had sleep paralyses daily, so I am quite used to your regular monster/demon experience. The first thing I want to say is sometimes hallucinations have visuals sometimes, only audio, sometimes touch etc., especially touch is quite uncomfortable.
One night I woke up to sleep paralysis and in front of me is myself. I am hearing several voices of myself in my head and my hallucination speaks about how I did not eat enough sunflower seed, and because of that, he is now going to replace me with an inhuman grin. Say he will live my life for himself, meanwhile voices in my head are screaming that I am guilty.
one night I dreamed of experiencing sleep paralysis, where a sleep paralysis would end and another one would begin.
One night I just saw a massive eye pop out of the hallway and look at me
Some regular ones. Hearing footsteps, Something sitting in my chest, Things eating me or putting pressure on my head. Something standing in the corner and just looking at me
When I was 2 years old, around this time of the year, I became very sick. My body stopped producing red blood cells. I had a stroke and my parents took me to the hospital. Long story short I remember being taken on a ride in a small cart by one of the nurses. I remember not feeling well but also having some fun in the middle of it.
My oldest memories was when i was 2 also. I electrocuted myself by sticking my dads keys into a power outlet. I remember doing it then my hands were all black and my dad had me washing them in the bathroom sink.
They said they wrapped me in a blanket and i was all shaky. I dont remember that tho
Sounds like a lot of bullshit and the most cliche baby story you can come up with cloudburst. Hey maybe you're mind just made up a memory in place of an empty space
@@mattp8466 um no lol. I remember it. And my parents told me the rest i dont remember.
I have a lot of memories from being two
I had this do, i went into a helicopter but apparently i didn't remember
I used to get sleep paralysis and it’s probably the most soul rending fear I ever experienced but this video is great as always
Papa meat is the most hilarious person to ever exist. His voice is just perfect
I have a few hazy memories from when I was below the age of 5 but all of them revolved around something upsetting me. One in particular was during an age when I was still in a crib and my only memory of it is sitting in the crib freaking the fuck out cause my aunts porcelain dolls scared the shit out of me. I was supposed to be taking a nap, but I couldn't get over those dolls.
Lucky you, my first memory is my older sister throwing a fry at me💀
I’ve had it twice and both instances happened the exact same way. Neither time did I visually see anything; I just felt a presence in the room. I remember opening my eyes and my room looked exactly like it had when I went to bed so I thought I was just awake. I didn’t see anything strange but I felt terrified because I could feel that there was a presence in the room. I kinda just shrugged it off like I had just woken up from a nightmare or was being paranoid or something. I then remember it felt like someone just laid on top of me and was suffocating me. I used to have a really puffy comforter when I was younger and I could physically see the blanket contour around my body as I was being laid on. I tried to scream for help but nothing came out no matter how hard I tried. When I had first tried to scream, though, it felt like they stood up and got off of me, but as soon as I stopped it slowly started suffocating me again. When I tried to scream again, it was lifted off me again and then I woke up to my room looking exactly like I had just seen it but the terror and presence were gone. Very very weird and scary to experience for sure.
Edit: grammatical errors
I am such a fan. The voice, reading, the funny comments!! And the drawing … love it!!!

@ТоммуInnit 🅥 thank you tommy

5:29 'and then he knocked on your doorbell'
I've had it a few times in my life, and thankfully each time I never had this figure over me but I was always like... Awake but not awake. I felt like I was about to die and I just desperately trying to wake up. I was having dreams of like like vomiting blood uncontrollably and feeling so weak I couldn't get to the bathroom or call for help while also like... "THIS IS A DREAM WHY CAN'T I MOVE WAKE UP."
It is indeed terrifying, but even though I could still vaguely make out the room around me I still never saw any sort of like figure. That sounds legit terrifying.
Love how people give sleep paralysis so much lore when it's not much more than that feeling you can't move and someone watching you.
My first memory is from when I was 3, it was just me being in awe of the backyard trees, I was standing on the deck just enjoying time in nature. I know I was 3 because we just moved to that house, I also have spotty memories of the previous house but those could have been dreams or visuals of stories others have told me, like the time my sister crawled under the deck to see our dog having puppies and almost getting attacked
I remember something that may have been my first memory. I remember crawling under a table somewhere when there was a man sirting at the table. It may have been one of my Grandfathers or possibly even my Father if I managed to salvage a memory from that long ago.
I don't even think a three year old has enough of their brain developed to be aware of their own age yet
I have had sleep paralysis a couple times before during high school and a couple years after (SP is mostly caused due to stress) and never had a "demon". It is an easily explained thing:
Your brain is awake and you can think and see but the rest of your body is not active.
Otherwise, the "demon" is just you having a panic attack. It feels as if something is pressing on your chest and you will breath very heavily after you regain control of your body again.
Some people see things during panic attacks but I have not been able to see "something"
i took this subject seriously moreso when i experienced this myself. however, your video generally told me to learn to laugh at what i fear n not take things so seriously or personally. life is short n really sucks at times. it doesn't help to add more on top of it. we have the ability to turn things around and see it on a different light. thank you meatcanyon. I'm going to try to remember this and apply it through out my life.
People develop differently (some even have memories from as young as 2). I have multiple distinct memories from when I was 3 (including multiple from my old babysitter's house, which I was only at from the age of 2-3). I remember the time when I wanted to eat another slice of ham, but the babysitter made me eat another carrot first and I ended up gagging and threw up (leading to a decades long aversion to vegetables that took until my 30s to get over). I also remember the time she mistakenly thought I cut a hole in one of the sheets on a bed, took me around the house (as I cried from her yelling at me) and repeatedly angerly asked me if I used different things to make the hole (a pair of scissors and the claw of a claw hammer are the two things I remember), and then spanked me and put me in time out because she interpreted my crying as a sign of guilt (even though I didn't do it). My parents were furious and she stopped being my babysitter after that.
I've had more intimidating experiences, but in response to this video, ill tell one i dont usually talk about. I fell asleep in my room, and "woke up" downstairs in the living room on a recliner, unable to move, in darkness. I felt pressur on my legs, and it spread up my chest to my face. I swear it made out with me. I was not intimidated, didnt fuck it, it was actually pretty chill.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the weed pen one lmao
0:46 ok im now sure hes good at metal screaming
I have sleep paralysis, they're the most terrifying things I've experienced. Never seen any entities during them but having major anxiety attacks while being trapped paralyzed is enough for me
are you religious? praying while paralyzed in your sleep actually helps. I've never seen any entities though either, mostly I just float

On the TV
Meat, my boy, you’ve got some uhm… honkers in ya video
I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time a few months ago and it was weird as fuck. I legit thought someone was in my room but I was aware and conscious so I was like '"yeah this is all in my head, I'm going back to sleep" and that was it. Crazy how your mind distorts reality to make you think the worst instead of something nice and euphoric.
Ive had so many sleep paralysis dreams/experiences. I didn't know what it was til I was older.. legitimately some of the scariest shit I've ever experienced. Hasn't happened in years but doesn't mean it won't again 😬 lol
Hate to burst the bubble. And its been two years since youve posted this. But I have very clear memories from being 3 years old. Holding my moms hand, walking accross the small bridge in our front yard singing “london bridge is falling down” also the year where we had an insane amount of grasshoppers. Scared me so much I didnt want to go outside.
The oldest memory I can recall was of me with my parents walking across the street to a carnival and looking up in awe at the rides and then falling flat on my face, grazing my knees and having to go home before we got inside. I don't know exactly how old I was but I feel like I woulda been about 3 or 4
I started getting sleep paralysis frequently, on a near daily basis, about a year and a half ago when I turned 19. I have seen some very weird stuff from my sleep paralysis. It started with me just being paralyzed and not hallucinating at all and just feeling like "well this sucks" but progressed onto full on hallucinations. Some stuff I have hallucinated while in sleep paralysis includes an old pale witch sitting on top of my chest, being in hell tortured by a biblically accurate demon, and possibly the strangest one of them all, every object in my room losing its "texture file" and reverting back to its default texture like a glitch in a video game. Just recently I was able to enter a lucid dream from an episode of sleep paralysis.
can you get out of your body yet?
You should get checked for sleep apnea. Something is consistently waking you up in the middle of REM sleep which could be sleep apnea. The condition can drastically cut your lifespan and quality of life if left untreated
this advice should not be ignored, had sleep paralysis every few days for a year then got the apnea thing sorted and i never get it anymore @@clownworld4655
A biblically accurate demon would make me shit my pants.
@@clownworld4655 Thank you for your concern. I have recently stopped having this happen almost entirely. It may be coincidental, may not be, but I’ve lost a good amount of weight so it may have been sleep apnea related. My mental health has also improved quite significantly so that may also played a part and I am on a much better schedule. Whatever the issue was I pretty much only wake up at night to pee now.
I actually have quite a few memories from before I was three.
Though, mostly just things that was like really “special” to me back then. Such as the pony I used to “ride” on (his name was Manne, and he was a black Shetland pony stallion), the moose that used to sleep in our yard that my parents called Alma, or how my dad once stole my cute little metal bucket to scoop shit with our farmer neighbor who got some sort of clog in the barns drains and then threw it away because it was filthy.
That last one destroyed me...XD
This video had me in tears laughing. Great job Mr PapaMeat sir! (I suffer from night terrors and sleep paralysis - I would say the worst part about it is the fact that it feels like reality and even after its over its like a strange messed up memory. I think the earliest one I can remember was when I was about 8 or 9.)
