I travel to country areas in Victoria, Australia quite frequently with my mum for working weekends. We stayed in a small motel in a quiet country town on one of these occasions and my mum and I had separate rooms but they shared a wall and both bed heads were up against this shared wall. I have had some pretty interesting sleep paralysis experiences and this was one occasion. I went to bed but soon after felt the telltale symptoms of sleep paralysis where I couldn’t move and became instantly frightened.
I then noticed TWO tall slim shadows ‘men’ standing next to each other at the edge of my bed, both wearing fedora-type black hats. I was fully aware of my surroundings and knew I was in the motel room and why. I remember trying really hard to scream out to my mum who I knew was right there on the other side of the motel room wall. I was mouthing/screaming the word ‘mum’ over and over but of course, no noise. I had become quite good at breaking myself out of sleep paralysis by this stage of my experiences so I eventually managed to move my arm or something similar and then lay there terrified for quite some time!
