ive never had sleep paralysis before but sometimes i get scared that i might.
for some reason there is a running trend of everyone in my family getting sleep paralysis, I usually get it once every 2ish weeks and sometimes it is scarier than others even though I'm aware I'm in paralysis, for example, sometimes my eyes are open when I have it and other times they are not, but when they are open I see a giant loving demon/sheep cross with massive horns and its like 7 feet tall, it just stands at the foot of my bed staring at me while I'm frozen and can't breathe, although it the thing can't actually hurt me, I always feel like its about to grab me back the neck and kill me or something. The best way to counter it is to try to wiggle my toes to wake my body up
EDIT* now that I think about it, the thing that I see looks nearly exactly like the goatman urban legend
