I have it myself to a very small degree. There is nothing supernatural about it.Evidently, when you become very scared, your body falls into its sleeping state. You have total paralasis and the only thing you can do is gasp for breath. The experience itself is very scary sinse your mind it completly awake. You are aware of everything and can't do anything about it.Depending on how bad you have it, it may take a little shock or you may have to be absolutly terrified for it to happen. It really takes a lot for me and has never happened accept after really bad nightmares. For an example of someone with a bad case, watch Frasier. Niles has it. Also, if you have ever seen a stiff-legged goat, this is what they have. It is a deffect in their genes or something like that. when you make a sudden loud noise or chase them, they freeze up and fall over. Its hilarious!Andrew -> I'm not sure what the man was. Possibly an hallucination brought on by sleep. I have done this as well. The strange thing is, my former boss described this exact same thing to me.He has what can only be a phobia of vampires. He can't read anything about them or watch any kind of vampire movie or tv show. Occasionally he has nightmares about them and this triggers his narcolepsy. He said that more than once he has awoken to a black figure that seemed to stand there and watch him. Once the paralysis faded, the man disappeared.Last time I talked to him, it was getting so bad he was beginning to believe that something supernatural (maybe a real vampire) was messing with him.</blockquote>
