The next is a deep voice speaking what I would describe as Old Latin, in a gargle of a deep voice, and very terrifying. Inherently, I was able to understand it's intent, and even seemed to understand it's message in my mind. It wanted me to die.</p>\n<p>The paralysis is very real, and the panic is hard to describe in terms of terror. The general alertness is always in between sleep and awake, a semi conscious state, and there is little that can be done to stop it. </p>\n<p>In every case, resistance seemed to be the key, fighting against it mentally, and demanding it leave you be. Every instance stopped suddenly, and left me feeling exhausted. One particular occasion I had a witness to the event, and he described the voice coming from me (a male with a deep voice) as a woman weeping in agony. He said it was not my voice. </p>\n<p>What do I make of this? I have no idea, it seemed paranormal in every aspect. I just hope it doesn't happen again. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkfblk28x","appParentAuthor":"sisterwerepe","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
