have had personal experiences with an "Incubus" spirit that would regularly attack me whilst I slept (attacks began the instant I began to slip from consciousness). The attacks would often begin with bright colours like a kaleidoscope and strange sounds in my mind. Other times they were connected to frightening dreams.
Sleep paralysis, or more properly, sleep paralysis with hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations have been singled out as a particularly likely source of beliefs concerning not only alien abductions, but all manner of beliefs in alternative realities and otherworldly creatures. Sleep paralysis is a condition in which someone, most often lying in a supine position, about to drop of to sleep, or just upon waking from sleep realises that s/he is unable to move, or speak, or cry out. This may last a few seconds or several moments, occasionally longer. People frequently report feeling a "presence" that is often described as malevolent, threatening, or evil

the prescence or incubi is the reason I'm having difficulty writing this though not because of how terrifying it feels but of how easy it is to get rid of.the first time i felt it i was rigid with fear,it was there i couldn't quite see it but i could feel it,i used to frighten myself awake.when i started to get used to it it began to growl,still in the shadows but closer.the first day it attacked me it scared me so much i was screaming and sitting bolt upright in bed as i woke.this went on for weeks until one day i didn't try to move when it attacked and i felt nothing.it couldn't hurt me because i couldn't feel anything.it showed itself by walking up my body and looking at me showing its teeth.i ignored it but i knew what it was.my deepest fear has always been to be helpless and have a dog repeatedly bite my body and work its way to my face and here i was paralysed with something sitting on my chest snarling at me.the only thing was it couldn't hurt me.i was no longer scared of it and used to ignore it until it eventually stopped appearing.my fear created it and my and my realisation of this took it away. everyones worst nightmare is to be helpless at the hands of there worst fear.

Sorry, but that is not a incubus. For one your male and they do not go for males. The Succubus go for males and females. The incubus are gender specific they go for females and they sex you to death.
Chiang #h shows you it's teeth and growl.
Bhuta is the ghost form vampire.
There are others that fit the bill and I search my records for them later and add more. After all vampires is what I love and I search and and write down all the vampires names and attack patterns from around the world. It's a hobby I enjoy.
But let me make this perfectly clear it is not a incubus that attacked.
Most supposed vampire attacks are often of demon origin.

I'm wondering if anyone has any awareness or personal experiences with spirits.
One particular type of spirit is known as either an Incubus (male form) or Succubus (female form). The Incubus spirit is described in the dictionary as, "A Spirit that attacks a person in their sleep and presses down upon them". This spirit is the type portrayed in the film called "The Entity" and is commonly associated with sexual attacks on women, often leaving cuts or scratches.
I have had personal experiences with an "Incubus" spirit that would regularly attack me whilst I slept (attacks began the instant I began to slip from consciousness). The attacks would often begin with bright colours like a kaleidoscope and strange sounds in my mind. Other times they were connected to frightening dreams.
Those experiences continued for about 25 years and were witnessed by my former wife and one of my girlfriends, who both totally freaked out.
Any sceptical and rational person could easily shoot holes in that story by logical arguments. But, until a person experiences this stuff for themselves - they don't have a clue! I would not wish my experiences with those spirits on anyone. I'm a big guy, former boxer and lifted weights for 30 years - but I'm not too proud to say that I was terrified to fall asleep because the spirit being would choke my vocal chords so I couldn't speak & wrap what felt like steel bands around me so I couldn't move at all. I was actually awake once the attacks began and fully conscious of everything that was happening in the room. I remember one time realxing in hope that if I stopped resisting, the spirit would loosen it's grip. Well, it did and as soon as I could speak again, I screamed as loud as I could - I remember my mother & aunt running into my room to see what had happened. At that time, I was about 17 years old.
It's very easy to dismiss what we don't recognise, understand or want to admit exists. I have never had an alien encounter, but I believe that phenomenon really happens.
BTW: my former fianc� here in England told me about the farm house where she grew up near Halifax. A few years ago there began to happen very odd things like strange sounds, things being moved (including furniture) and even deep scratches suddenly appearing in the walls. I have slept in that house and nothing unusual happened to my awareness, but I do believe my former girlfriend and her family�s stories.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Deep
