Mike Pike suffers from sleep paralysis. Been there, bro. I experienced the condition (scientifically known as “hypnogogia”) from my teens through my 20s. You basically wake up and can’t move or speak. You’re completely aware of your surroundings, but you experience a strong feeling of dread and hallucinations. I use to see a figure at the foot of my bed and once I saw my bedroom door open and heard voices in the next room. Yeah, it sucks.
Well Mike Pike decided to set up a camera to film himself during a bout of sleep paralysis. Last week, the camera captured what appears to be a shadowy figure rising at the foot of his bed. He then sent the video to the paranormal website Altered Dimensions, who posted it online.
No doubt there’s something there, but what do you think it is? Whatever it is, it appears to have its its dick out.
Could this be a clever tie-in for Dead Awake, the sleep paralysis horror film we reported on a few weeks ago?
