Back in the Day

I used to get SP a lot when I was younger. Like 12-16 years old, almost every night. I’m 28 now and I get it every so often but it doesn’t really bother me anymore. I’ve found that focusing your anger into a point on your forehead and just trying to shake your head violently works 100%. I have not had any astral projections or anything. Just would see the same thing all the time.The first time I got SP, my family had just moved into a new home and it was fairly large. I got my own room finally, and I had a walk in closet (this was quite exciting for a kid who was bouncing from apartment to apartment). It’s not like the house was creepy or old either. It was new, and def not haunted as I have some experiences with those (I’ll save that for a different post)Literally, the first night after we had moved in, I went to bed and left my closet door open. I mean, I had never had SP or any kind of experience before so I didn’t know any better. Maybe around 2-3am, can’t be sure, I woke up. I opened my eyes, but I couldn’t speak or move (typical SP symptoms). From my closet I saw something moving and a very tall, slender man, head almost touching the ceiling, (lol, and mind you, this was before slender man was even a thing), stepped out of my closet and hobbled up to the edge of my bed. He was wearing a long, black trench coat almost to the floor, and like a fedora or something. I was shitting myself because I could only move my eyeballs and make grunting noises lol. When he got to the edge of my bed, he stopped and looked down. His face was just skin, no eyes, mouth, nose etc. and dude did the creepiest thing. He just turned his skin face in my direction and started swaying from left to right. This went on for what felt like 5 mins until I broke out and jumped off the other side of the bed screaming and crying, running to my parents room.Since that time, I tried not to open my eyes when I had sleep paralysis, but when I did, I wouldn’t see that man because I always closed my closet. To this day I still close my closet. I have had 2 other run ins with the same tall guy (both times leaving my closet door open on accident) with no face, but he usually would be in the corner of the room or not interested in me at all.Has anyone else seen anything similar? I’m not haunted by this. I’m a fucking adult lol. But just curious if anyone had had similar figures come out of their closets. via /r/Sleepparalysis https://ift.tt/35f5ZJ6
