Hello! First of all, I’m K.J. Sage, an urban fantasy writer who loves a touch of darkness.
 
I’ve always been a big fan of Halloween, ghosts, vampires, all those things that go bump in the night. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been drawn to the dark side. Maybe because I’ve had some creepy experiences myself.
 
Today, I thought we could talk about one of those experiences. Hey, it is almost Halloween, after all!
Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis?
 
Apparently Sleep Paralysis is a bit of a phenomenon. Your body remains “asleep” but you partially wake up. Hallucinations are very common and for some unexplained reason, most people see very similar things. Specifically, a shadowy figure who watches you sleep while you are powerless to do anything to defend yourself.
 
At one point in time, people believed that a demonic figure was holding them down in their sleep. I can totally understand why.
 
I've experienced sleep paralysis a few times before. Once in particular, a tall figure in a long black cloak glided to the edge of my bed and stared down at me. The streetlight was behind him so I couldn't see into his hood at what face lay beneath. Worst of all, because it was sleep paralysis and I couldn't move, all I could do was shut my eyes and tell myself everything would be okay, that when I opened my eyes again, he would be gone. To this day, I can't help but wonder what exactly it was he was seeing in me...
 
There is speculation that medication can trigger it, but it’s not known for sure. This remains a big mystery to me.
 
As humans, we are always desperate to understand more. Perhaps sleep is the gateway to those answers we seek…
 
Recently, I wrote a short book about sleep paralysis, all the feelings it evokes; a shortness of breath, a heavy feeling on the chest, the inability to move. Except for Rick, the main character in my book, it might not be all in his head…

I have some other creepy stories planned, as well as a few lighter books. At the moment, all of my stories are urban fantasy and take place in the same world. It’s an exciting time for me to explore different parts of life through the stories that I write while having fun doing it.
Thank you so much for reading my guest post! It’s been a blast being here and I hope you sleep soundly tonight!
