Let's share our paranormal encounters! It can be good or bad, no judgment here my dudes.
I'll go first!
>be 5 or 6
>used to be extremely scared of the dark and nighttime so I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping
>it's about 3 am and I can't sleep bc I'm so scared so I decide to head downstairs to my parents bedroom
>open door to parents room and it's dark as shit, parents are sleeping good af
>notice something glowing on the other side of the room, near my parents bed
>it's two pairs of glowing eyes, one purple and one green
>they're staring at my parents like just watching them n shit
>they look at me after they notice that I'm staring at them
>don't feel scared just confused as fuck
>run back upstairs to my room and force myself to sleep
I told my parents the next morning but they didn't believe me and they still don't to this day. Do you think those eyes were demons?
Also interesting note, my parents were in a really stressful situation at this point in my life (debt & money probs) and I remember my house always having this negative vibe to it.
Your turn.
Sleep paralysis is the closest thing I've ever experienced. I've seen a stupid amount of shadow people and more demonic figures, to the point it doesn't bother me anymore. I can physically feel it when they touch me which is unsettling but I've never been hurt, for obvious reasons.

How can one get sleep paralysis? I've recently seen videos about them but it seems so unreal

I only get it when I sleep on my back. For a while I was getting it every single night regardless of position but that seems to have stopped. I'm also a lot more prone to it if my pattern gets disrupted, so if I go to bed at like 3:30am instead of 10pm I'll almost definitely get it.
Most of the time I don't get any hallucinations, but when I do it's bad. Usually gets coupled with exploding head syndrome so I'll wake up to screaming or shooting and see all these ominous figures and shit. If you ever have it just don't open your eyes, makes it a lot easier.

I started getting it when I started messing around with lucid dreaming
But I don't like telling people that because it discourages them from trying to lucid dream. My sleep paralysis is usually just not being able to move for a couple seconds until I can shake myself out of it, maybe with a bit of tingling feeling. And a few times, I'll have actually still been asleep, dreaming that I had sleep paralysis, only to shake myself awake and have sleep paralysis
I've never seen anything scary though
i read somewhere that it's common for children to experience a hallucination or two at some point
