I'm only 22, so this happened to me when I was 7. I've remembered this for years and nothing before or since has happened to me since, I don't even think it was sleep paralysis. I was fully awake whenever this happened, and I was able to move my body completely, but you can give some insight into what you think. Demons? sleep paralysis? ghosts?
Anyways, when I was 7, me my mom and dad who are divorced now used to live in this little grey house from 2007-2008. It was actually pretty cute looking, but my parents used to fight in it all the time, which seemed like only started whenever we moved into this house. Because weirdly before, I only had happy memories of how my parents treated each other and didn't remember nearly as much violence that happened between my parents.
It could just be that I don't remember their fights that took place before we moved into this house, however I have a really good memory of everything else that's really specific during my childhood before that. Such as our trip to Disney World that we took in 2006, I specifically remember no fights between my parents happening the entire time we were there. I can even remember the Kodak cameras my mom used to take pictures from back then, a white Disney themed t-shirt that I remember wearing for the majority of our trip to this day, seeing lots of lizards, me wanting to visit this one fake talking tree that had a face down there every day etc. I have a pretty good memory that's vivid from 5 and up.
I even remember the specific apartments that we used to live in next to my mom's parents, (my grandparents) before we moved into this house my experience, I'm going to talk about took place in. My mom has always said my dad always was violent and had anger issues even before I was born when she met him, which I believe since to this day he still has outbursts of anger. However, nothing I remember was as bad as the fights that happened between him and my mom whenever we moved into this house back in 2007. There would be screaming matches daily between my parents, which I would remember yelling at both of them to stop. My dad would also constantly go out drinking around this time period and come home constantly making scary threats towards my mom to kill her and he would sleep with weapons, which he threatened my mom with as well.
Around this time, I remember constantly feeling afraid and watched after my parents would tuck me into bed most of the time. What didn't help was they would always leave my door open, so I always felt like I was being watched by the pitch darkness between the hallway, my door, and at the other end of the hallway where our spare bedroom where our family computer was. You could say it's pretty common for kids to be scared of the dark, but I haven't gotten to my main experience yet. It wasn't uncommon for me to wet the bed at this time and go wake my parents up to sleep with them as a result of my fears. On the night my experience happened, this was one of those many times, only I remember that my mom wasn't in bed, so I went to sleep with my dad. (Can't remember exactly the reason why she wasn't, they might've already separated around this time in the year, or my mom might've been out)
While me and my dad were in the middle of trying to lay down and go to sleep, I just remember that I couldn't fall asleep that night. I was laying down and so was my dad, but I just couldn't sleep and at some point, I remember dads' little TV that he had in his room flashing blue and making a static noise. However, I remember I told my dad this, and he didn't believe me and told me to go to sleep, eventually after a few minutes I started noticing what looked like these creatures to the right side of me, both waddling on the bed towards me and some to the right of me on the floor.
I remember only one of them being on the bed that kept it seemed endlessly waddling towards me, looking at me and turning it's head to the left on repeat. Two of the same creature was on the floor standing to the right off the bed, they all resembled penguins to me, but they were all pure grey and black, and seemed to be made of pure static. You could make a beak out of the body shape, as well as wings, however I can't remember what their feet looked like exactly. At the same time that I saw them, I was also seeing and feeling other things in this room that shouldn't have been there, such as I eventually started feeling the sensation of worms crawling on my body and I remember that I could also see them.
To my left on the wall, there looked to be what's hard to describe as a giant strip of a lettuce lined like creature that was moving with small little skinny/stringy tentacles on the side and like a purple mask in the center of it. This whole time I was telling my dad I was seeing some things and I was making nervous whimpering noises like a scared child does, but I remember he kept saying he didn't see anything that was going on. I think he thought I was just fighting sleep, but I was genuinely seeing things and at one point I tried waving my arm towards this waddling creature's body, but it just went straight through.
This all lasted for about an hour from what I can remember, before they all slowly started to disappear. To this day nothing similar has ever happened to me since or before that incident, so I'm convinced I experienced something interdimensional myself. I later found out that whenever we moved into that house from my mom years later that every single couple who's lived there has apparently broken up, but I don't know how true that is. I also heard that house was built on Indian burial. What do you all think I may have experienced back when I was a kid? it also feels like not long after this, that's when I got stuck with chronic depression and anxiety/paranoia that's still present. Sometimes I feel I'm destined for something.
