So I was watching one of Weylie's video where she told the story of her scariest paranormal experience, when someone began knocking on the front door and simultaneously, the internet went down and my fan just stopped.
Hahaha turns out the man was an electrician and he needed to reset something so yeah had to shut off the main power plug
The timing though, so apt.
And yes she was speaking about her sleep paralysis experience and I actually understood her because a few months ago I myself experienced it.
My logical side says it's probably just you know scientific and stuff but while I was experiencing it I cannot deny the spook factor like literally the first thing I thought was "OH is THIS what it feels like to have a ghost lay on top of you" and I was thinking of the photos I saw on fb.
I had a loooong day after an all nighter that day, so obviously that night I was hoping for a good sleep after a literal MONTH of not having proper sleep (literally had 8 hours of sleep per week)
So I was feeling super shagged, but it's the kind of tired which is worse because you just.cant.sleep.
But finally it happened and my phone was dead by this time anyway so whaddheck, I shut my eyes and a few moments (hah more like hours) later I feel asleep.
I was suddenly awakened by this heavy feeling like I was conscious but I couldnt move at all, so I tried to stay calm by talking to myself
Here's what went down in this brain
Me: Oh cool im experiencing sleep paralysis!
Also me: Wait... what if this is the supernatural version
Me: Dont freak yourself out this is just scientific this is normal
(This conversation occured really quickly- my brain works fast surprise2)
Then my eyes started roaming around the room (IM REALLY REALLY unsure if my eyes were ACTUALLY open or I was just mentally looking around) but I saw so many faces of dark, old women around me (like right infront of my face) and they were wailing and shouting (not too loud but it was definitely a shout)
At this point of time I let my logical self go and started reciting some prayers; it was all over soon after but the image of those witches (idek what they are) still is vivid.
I went back to sleep after a few moments of composing myself, but it happened again later that night; same convo in my head, same faces, same duration (it felt like)
I told my mum in the morning and she said she already felt the presence even since last evening so im like "ok so it wasnt the normal sleep paralysis???" but the thought of it having an actual explanation was what made it less scarier (was horrible though when it lasted- felt like i'll never get out of it until someone actually walked into the room and woke me up but thankfully it wasnt that way)
The next night my mum opened Quranic recitations the whole night and thankfully nothing of that sort happened again.
I've always read about people'e experiences but I never thought i'd experience it myself.
Supernatural or not, it was pretty terrifying (im just too logical to panic I guess hahahah perks of being too rational)
I feel like if normal people (yeah because im so abnormal what- aka pardon my choice of words) were to experience this it would make them scared to fall asleep again because it is disturbing as heck.
So yeah now I have a newfound appreciation for sleep paralysis stories, I guess the scariest part is not the ghosts around me but that I couldn't move one bit. I do read on these a lot so I know that you should try to move your fingers or toes to wake yourself up (if you are experiencing actual sleep paralysis and it wasnt a ghost on top of you) but I tried and it didnt happen so I resorted to praying and Alhamdulillah it worked.
I was so relieved when it was over.
Wow, a great topic to start off after a week of absence.
Anyway, HAPPY DECEMBER!
The one week of marking was actually really fun, kinda missing my workmates already.
Makes me really worried about the Malay language though.
We have such a beautiful language but if the younger generation cant even grasp it I- ughhh.
Please let us work together to protect our lovely culture.
Like I wouldn't choose to be born into another race if I could just because I grew up learning about how actually splendid our culture is.
(Not so much in this modern world- the negatives of different cultures are so apparent bluek)
It's the kind of things that you have to be in to know what it actually it
*begins staring into the abyss wondering if the previous sentence made any sense*
It should!
Hahahaha ok why did I even go there all I wanted to say was that I had a fun week and it ended with an impromptu visit to marina barrage watching phan videos in public and laughing non-stop.
I have today and tomorrow to hibernate before a lash of events comes towards me
Anyway did I tell you I havent done 2/3 of my final essays hah procrastination is a real problem people (btw they were due last week meh)
For now i'll learn my lesson and actually DO my assignments next time
Ok my wifi is back so time to post this hehehhe
