Ghosts?

So during my summer session I've started watching a show about how this girl can see dead people and help them fulfill their requests so they can step into the light. From the show I've gathered that living people are scarier than the dead.

This got me thinking back to my many experiences of night paralysis and my feeling of the immobility, pain, and fear. Many cultures say that night paralysis results from being sat on by a demon (if you want to read more here is the wikipedia link) and yeah that freaked me out. Whether or not it's a physical attack from the devil or it's just him messing with my mind I think, well not freak out is the first thing, but have faith that God is protecting me.

Psalm 121:7-8
               The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

When the paralysis first hit way back when, I felt like I was haunted and I feared sleeping. At times my chest felt heavy and at times I felt something was definitely tugging my covers. But over time I realized that besides fear, nothing else really happened and due to the frequency of the experiences I just became flat out annoyed. Gosh darn it, just let me sleep!  And if I'm not annoyed I just think that it's quite comical.

Anyways, I think I'm glad I've had these experiences because if it ever happens again I can just roll over and continue sleeping. Not a big deal at all. And if the devil has a problem with that he can take it up with God.
