    One of my most vivid memories of waking up at night, I looked down towards my feet and there was a dark, spider-shaped shadow about the size of a dachshund. I looked at it for a second, then there was a flurry of movement from its legs as it rushed up towards my face. I jumped out of bed and threw the covers at it, then hit the lights. Nothing was there.

      My brother and I shared a room. He often had epileptic seizures. I suddenly woke up as he was having one, but I couldn’t move a muscle.

      I’ve read about sleep paralysis before, but it still wasn’t fun. It lasted maybe 40 seconds.
