Hey Anthony:

Well, here it goes......

Supposedly, a person will be sleeping without a problem and then in the middle of the night they will feel as if though something heavy has been placed on their chest or maybe "someone" just sat on their chest. They have trouble breathing, they are not able to move, they feel something "evil" or maybe an evil spirit is trying to take over their body, they can't move or talk or scream. They are "supposedly" conscious and aware of where they are and stuff but they are not able to utter a sound.

I am a medical interpreter and I have heard many Spanish-speaking patients talk about this. The only thing I could come up with, in English, was the Hag Syndrome.

Have you ever heard of it or know what I am talking about? At first I thought people were talking of some sort of witchcraft or something.... scary......

Let me know what you think.
