You know, I had my first experience with sleep paralysis/The Old Hag a few days ago. I was about to wake up, but I heard the sound of someone sniffing right next to my head (like someone clearing their nose, and it sounded like my grandma). I was half-awake, but I felt a huge compression on my chest, like a large weight was settling itself onto me... at first I thought, "My grandmother has died, I just know it" (since she is dying of cancer, and lives in my house right now). Then I remembered the sleep paralysis, and shushed it away... and it stopped. Natural occurance.
