YES!!!
I have had that happen to me probably 8-10 times in my life.
Horrifying. It felt like worst evil I could ever imagine. I was trying to scream but could not vocalize anything. Made any other nightmare pale in comparison. I started praying and saying "Jesus" and it went away and I was able to move again. The whole room seems cold and every hair is standing on end.
I never thought about talking to anyone about it or looking it up, but I clicked on this thread because I wondered is "sleep paralysis" was similar to what I have experienced. People in this thread are describing what I have been through as well.

I don't believe in spirits or any of that stuff either, but my cousin had what most are describing in this thead happen to him years ago.
He also said it was the Old Hag. Said it felt let someone was sitting on his chest and he couldn't move.

Anybody ever experienced this?
I can recall 3 moments in my life of it happening, and two of those times were this year.
I was sleeping on my back. I woke up and I couldn't move. My mind was working, but my body wouldn't work. I tried to roll over, but couldn't. I couldn't speak. It lasted for about a minute. I also had a sense of something evil in the room too. Kind of scary
Yes
Typically it occurs when your brain suffers oxygen deprivation during the REM cycle.
Sensing something evil, or a presence, in the room with you is common.
For me, when it happens, I usually find myself transported back into another place and time, facing a life-threatening situation, yet this time unable to pull the trigger. It's either the trigger is welded-stuck or, I think lately I've come to the conclusion that my trigger finger is either crippled or damaged or I haven't the strength in my finger to pull the trigger, no matter how hard I try. So my mind begins to turn to an alternative way to dispatch the presence and that's usually when I wake-up ... right before the fight ensues.
I spend a lot of time, during the course of each day when I am sitting around doing whatever, with a spring-loaded grip strengthener in my hand, working my trigger finger.
I've always taken the whole sleep paralysis thing as a chance to delve deep into my subconsciousness - whatever I am seeing is a forewarning perhaps, I dunno.

they don't require your belief. They frick you up all the time and convinced you it's this mythical sleep paralysis. You just go to your happly place and let them have their way with you. Others can't be fooled by that nonsense

If there is a positive to having it, it's being able to lucid dream once you fall back into your dream. At least that's what happens when I have sleep paralysis. I used to could not do that but it's happened hundreds of times to me that I don't really get freaked out about it anymore.

I've only experienced it once but that was enough. Scared me until I realized what was going on. Then I enjoyed it as a new experience but I wouldn't want to do it again.

Maybe. If something like that happened I wouldn't have thought anything of it. Just that I was really tired and in a weird state of sleeping/waking up.

I've had a few cases of "exploding head syndrome" and the two are somewhat related. I heard an almost deafening loud crash of waves in my experience.

Years ago, when I taught school, my black students would tell me the symptoms that the op described. They all claimed that a witch was riding their back. I asked the white kids in the class if that ever happened to them and they all said no. One black girl said that it was because the witch doesn't like white people. I laughed and responded by saying that I'm glad that the witch is a prejudiced witch. I never had anything like this ever happen to me and none of my friends have ever experienced it. As a kid, I would wake up in the middle of the night, and wouldn't move on purpose because I thought somebody was looking in the window, and if I moved, they would break through the window.

happened to me once 14 years ago my freshman year of college. freaked me the frick out. lasted only a few minutes but felt like an eternity. I still rarely sleep on my back because that's how I was sleeping when it happened.

This, and it can sometimes lead to a lucid dream if it happens as I'm falling back to sleep. It never happened to me when I was a kid but since I was like 17 or 18 it happens a lot

This sounds horrifying. Hope I never experience it.

I have had dreams of weird people coming into the room and I can't move, but when I snap to, I try to talk to them and/or swing wildly trying to punch them. I've posted this first 3 on tOT before, but the last two were pretty recent.
#1-The first time was at my home here in Columbia and it was an old, bald man. He was ghostly pale and had long, thin hands. Unlike the old woman, he had a creepy, oversized smile on his face from the moment he drifted in. He was in a black suit, black tie, and a white shirt, but everything seemed dingy. He walked over to my side of the bed, then over to my wife's, then back to my side. His body stayed almost perfectly still while he moved around the bed, only moving his eyes, his hands stayed straight by his side. After he came back over to my side of the bed, he began to slowly drift into the far corner of the bedroom, blending in with darkness and the last thing I saw was his pale, creepy face. I shot up and immediately reached for my bedside handgun, which obviously freaked my wife the hell out.
#2-So, two weekends ago while staying at my parent's house for a visit, I had a dream while sleeping in my old bedroom that still creeps me the frick out. In my dream, my fiancé and I were sleeping in the bed (just as we were irl), sleeping in the dark when an old woman emerges from the closet and "moves", not walks, to the side of the bed. She leans over the bed and just stares at me. Doesn't blink, doesn't breathe, doesn't move a muscle...just stares for about five minutes before a smile slowly appears on her face...not a good smile, a twisted smile. It only lasts for a brief second before here face settles back into the emotionless state she wore before. She was dressed in all black and in a late 1800 - 1900 style dress and was probably in her mid-80's. Not a single sound was made in the entire dream. Not. A. Single. Sound. I finally snapped two and my first reaction was to punch at the air and then reach to turn on the light. It really shook me up and it woke my fiancé up from her ambien haze; took me a few hours to get back to sleep.
#3-This one felt far less sinister than the other 2, but it was still weird. An old black man in a red and white checkered shirt, with suspenders and a straw hat walked into the room and was holding my dog by the collar. He stopped right by the closet and waited with Sambo, my dog, who just took a seat and waited, as well. The man did not look at me or my wife, just stated straight ahead. When I woke up I mumbled "What are you doing with my dog?", but he was gone...my dog was sitting by my closet staring at me just as he had in my dream, wanting to go outside to piss.
#4- My wife was out of town and I saw a fat dude with one of those over-the-neck concession carries you see the guys carrying at sports games when they sell peanuts or cokes or whatever, but this one was real old-timey. He was wearing a t-shirt that was way too small, some jeans, and a ballcap. He had a pretty blank expression on his face, didn't seem sinister at all, but then reached into the box he was carrying and pulled out a rat which he then tossed into my bed. Then another. . .and another. . .and another. When I'm finally able to move I spring out of bed, start swatting the covers (which, in turn, wakes my dogs up), and yelling "why the frick are you throwing rats at me?!" to someone who obviously wasn't there.
#5- Happened just last week, this was another old lady but in slightly more modern clothing, still really pale, but she kept trying to reach at my beagle and hurt him. I think she barely even noticed me, honestly. This time, when I finally come to, I just calmly said "Touch my dog and I'll fricking kill you."
