The
Night Hag is an ancient demon, that has raised many minions to follow her. The
Night Hags feed on sleeping humans drawing out their life-force, The human will
survive as they can't take enough from them in one visit, though frequent visits
or if The Night Hag attacks can be fatal. These attacks are often put down to
sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is often described as being held down by an invisible
force and can be extremely scary to the person being held in this confinement
state. This sleeping disorder is most often associated with demonic or
malevolent activity because the disorder 'feels' like someone is holding or
pinning them down, thus preventing them from being able to move or to scream for
help. According to Sleep Disorder Doctors, this disorder is common.
The reports describing this very event with the person suggesting the event was
demonic in nature. They describe being held down, attacked or choked. In every
case the 'victim' has not consulted a doctor about a sleep disorder, but they
have contacted a priest or minister for an exorcism. It appears that their
religious views color their vision of reality. Often this irrational fear is
paramount to the fear held by the people during the Middle Ages and during the
Salem Witch Trials, where some of the Night Hags were burned in their human
forms. The people did not understand so they condemned and destroyed what they
did not understand. However, once this disorder is recognized, the demons depart
and we understand the nature of the disorder. We all have nightmares at one time
or another, yet we do not claim our nightmares were real demons attacking us. We
understand that nightmares are fragments from our subconscious mind leaking into
the conscious mind and that they generally can be symbolic, not actual.
Sleep paralysis can be attributed in most instance to something called a
"Night Hag," or a waking dream. Most people will suffer from at least
one incident in their lives. During deep sleep the body dreams. It is a natural
way for the mind to replenish itself from the rigors of constant activity. Parts
of the mind shut down and allow the cells to rest. Other parts of the mind
continue to function and it is at these times we dream. Sometimes the dreams are
pleasant memories, fantastic visions and dreamscapes. Sometimes they are
nightmares, terrors or the "Night Hag."
During dreaming the mind shuts down the systems that allow the body to move.
This is a function that protects a person from harming themselves while they
dream. When this defense system fails various sleep disorders become apparent.
Sleep walking is a very common disorder. Some people will repeatedly beat their
heads or other body parts against walls or the floor. Involuntary movements are
common sleep disorders.
During a "Night Hag" the system that paralyzes your body is still
functioning. However, for reasons not yet understood a person will awaken and be
absolutely alert to their surroundings. This inability to move can be very
frightening and since the person is aware of being awake most will tend to
attribute this to some demonic or supernatural phenomena. The person is actually
still dreaming and is in the middle of one of the most terrifying nightmares
they will ever have. People have reported footsteps in the hallway and an
impending sense of doom. Figures at the foot of the bed who touch and grab at
them. Some have speculated that "Night Hags" are the origin of alien
abduction phenomena.
It is worth noting that people who have experienced "Night Hags" are
adamant in their belief that what they experienced was real and not just a
dream. Who is to say unless you experience it yourself.
Quote: “Seize the moment, tomorrow
you might be dead.”
Roleplaying the Night Hags
Have you ever been asleep and
suddenly woken only to be paralyzed, seen a dark evil shadow looming over your
bed, felt someone sitting on your chest or body holding you down trying to choke
you, or perhaps heard strange noises and felt an eerie feeling of evil
descending upon you? Chances are you are more than likely suffered a Night Hag
attack.
