if your mum wanted to find out who it was she could always go and see a medium just make sure its someone who has been recommended as there are a lot of frauds out there or go to the local spiritual church.if there is anything else you want to know i have a good friend who is a well respected medium so i could ask for you and remember most of these ghosthunting programmes are all done for the camera

Thanks again

I know a local lady who is very good. i suggested this but mu said no. I went to see her many years ago and she told me so much she seriously could not know. She doesn't even know your name when making an app. I won't go into details as others will only poo-poo the idea, but she was very specific about things concerning my little cousin who died a few yrs ago when he was 7. feel free to pm me, its quite amazing. x

Because she didn't realise that she was - she was hallucinating.


Symptoms of sleep paralysis can be either one of the following or a combination:
Paralysis: this occurs after waking up or shortly before falling asleep. the person cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and only has minimal control over blinking and breathing. This paralysis is the same paralysis that occurs when dreaming. The brain paralyzes the muscles to prevent possible injury during dreams, as some body parts may move during dreaming. If the person wakes up suddenly, the brain may still think that it is dreaming, and sustains the paralysis.
Hallucinations: Images or speaking that appear during the paralysis. The person may think that someone is standing beside them or they may hear strange sounds. These may be dreamlike, possibly causing the person to think that they are still dreaming. Often it is reported as feeling a weight on one's chest, as if being underneath a person or heavy object.
These symptoms can last from mere seconds to several minutes and can be frightening to the person.

My OH stayed in a hotel in Edinburgh where he had a 'funny turn'. He woke in the middle of the night feeling that someone had been in the room, not like he'd dreamt it because he had no clear recall of a dream but an absolute conviction that someone had been in - thought it must have been a thief. He's a big guy, 6'2" and completely pragmatic so wasn't unduly unnerved. Back to snooze and some time later he woke to the feeling that someone was standing over him, studying him. It felt like someone friendly and as he woke he felt them 'leave', they were still leaving the room as he was awake although he can't fully explain that. The room door was locked when he got up to check.
When he came home and explained it all we checked the hotel on line and it is supposed to be the most haunted hotel in Edinburgh, the old printworks I seem to remember, and his room was notoriously 'busy' with ghosties. He refuses to accept it was anything paranormal but insists it wasn't sleep paralysis. Never had anything similar happen anywhere else or any other time and he travels to all four corners....

Hallucinations are not just visual, Bloomin's mum felt a presence. The arm was so heavy that she couldn't move it - many people with paralysed limbs describe the sensation of being paralysed as the limb being too heavy to move.

Just an alternative explanation
