Victims recall being in a state between sleep and being fully awake. They see strange shadows and figures and even feel something pulling them from their beds, but their bodies are paralysed.

One described her ‘visitor’ to be ‘a slim, tall figure but with no features, like a silhouette’. Others have commented that ‘it may feel as if they are being dragged out of bed’ and that ‘it may have a dream like quality; it feels incredibly real’. For many people suffering from this, they believe that it is normal especially as statistics show that around 30% of the UK population experience this phenomenon. However, wouldn’t you prefer to sleep peacefully without having to worry about any strange ‘visitor’?

At the UCKG HelpCentre we believe that there is a way to be free from this!
