I'm not sure the year but after midnight Christmas morning (I had never celebrated Christmas or any other holiday, Matter of fact I was a Jehovah's Witness at the time). either 1999 or 2000. I had slept over at my friends house, which was right above where I lived. I had convinced him to allow me to sleep on his bed (He slept behind me in the opposite direction to the far end of the bed). The buildings here were all the same (Red-Brick Buildings with 4 apartments, 2 doors upstairs on opposite sides and 2 doors downstairs with doors on the opposite sides.) There's alot of stories behind these buildings and one even burnt down sometime amongst the years I lived there, That building burnt down after a boy set fire to the basemant. A few of these buildings were rumored to have 3 bedroom apartments. I heard a story of a person being hung in one of the basements of one of the buildings on the lower part of the row of houses at the bottom of the hill.

Anyways, that night I slept over at my friends house I had awakened to a the noise of creeking footsteps coming from the hallway that separated the 2 rooms in his house. In between the rooms was a bathroom, but the bathroom didn't matter (Being dark in his room with only the natural light from the outside to shine in I was frightened.) I'm not sure what I was hearing but I freaked out. I noticed my friend behind me was still sleeping and not wanting to make noise, I tried to reach out to him. Realizing that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't move. I couldn't lift my head either. I felt like my body had the will to move but nothing. I attempted to yell to my friend and I remember my mouth moving but the words came out without breath. I never finished waking till hours later.

When I woke up I told my friend what happened and he told me it's happened to him before and he called it something and told me that everything turned white etc... but I didn't really care to believe him. He said it jumps on you and holds you down. But one thing we both noticed was that the presents under his tree were neatly organized. According to him, they were messy and everywhere.

I don't know. It was creepy and scared the shit out of me. About the tree and the rest I dunno, and probably will never know. the last few times it's happened to me I would be dreaming and know that I was dreaming. I'd Try hard to wake up, and It would take me hours. I can feel myself trying to wake up and on one occurance when I did happen to get myself to move slightly upwards to a sitting position, I felt a shooting pain straight horizontal across my chest. The last time it happened to me I began to dream that I wasn't breathing, And when I had awaken I realized I wasn't and Gasped for air. These went on from about ages 13 to 17 or 18. I usually fall asleep on my side, but everytime it's happened I had waken up on my back.
