Due to an overwhelming response on the topic of sleep paralysis, here’s another of your true-life experiences:

“When I slept over at my friends house I had awakened to the noise of creaking footsteps coming from the hallway that separated the 2 rooms in his house. In between the rooms was a bathroom, but the bathroom didn’t matter (being dark in his room with only the natural light from the outside to shine in; I was frightened). I’m not sure what I was hearing but I freaked out. I noticed my friend behind me was still sleeping and, not wanting to make noise, I tried to reach out to him. Realizing that no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t move. I couldn’t lift my head either. I felt like my body had the will to move, but nothing. I attempted to yell to my friend and I remember my mouth moving but the words came out without breath. I never finished waking till hours later.”
