Title: Sleep Paralysis?
Review: I'm confused as to why the author puts so much emphasis on the sleep paralysis episodes. It's a perfectly normal condition, and she claims to be aware of this fact, but she still goes on to attribute it to paranormal acitivty. She implies that the episodes got worse due to the haunting, including a smothering sensation, a sense of an evil presence, and a sense of overwhelming terror, but these are still CLASSIC symptoms of sleep parlaysis. From Scientific American: "The reason sleep paralysis may explain tales of ghosts and aliens is the strong sense of a presence, usually harmful, that victims commonly feel during an attack."Also, people tend to experience sleep paralysis episodes more frequently due to stress, so all it demonstrates is that the author was stressed out during this time, not that it was actually caused by ghosts (as she would like her readers to believe).
