A long time ago I used sleep in the living room of my apt. It was a warm summer night and I had my fan on low quiet mode. I was like in a state of near falling asleep. Then my entire body just shook. While I'm shaking I could hear my fan moving in slow motion. It was as if time slowed down. And the fan sound was loud. Then the shaking stop and I'm in some sort of paralysis. I could hear something in the kitchen. It sounds as if someone is getting closer. I try to say help, hoping my brother could hear from his room but I can't muster the breath to yell. I instead let out a whisper.
Then I was able to snap out of it by somehow microshaking. Like I did everything possible to shake my body little by little until I was fully snapped out of it. This happened a few more times throughout the years but I eventually figured out how to counter it. Once I realized I could shake myself to snap out of it, I would always use that technique when I felt like it was going to happen again. I often wondered what would happen if I just surrendered and let the effect ride on. But I always shook myself awake.
When I moved away from that apt, it never happened again. Was that a paranormal experience or just sleep paralysis? And why did it only happen in that apt?
