I was a patient for the RUSSIAN SLEEP EXPERIMENT. This is my story. 

Did you know that you’re a sinner? But did you know that Jesus loves you and He can change that, all you have to do is believe that He died on the cross and rose from the grave 3 days later, repent, and accept God into your life, it’s your choice, Jesus loves you.

Totally agree, should be on the good list.

😂😂😂

Not exactly good, but if you're the one who lets him into this world, he's got your back.

I agree. He's a good monster.

Seeing as how he torched everyone who had beef with Ted.

I had it happen to me a few times and thank goodness I knew what it was. It was visual and auditory but nothing scary per say, just my family outside my room in the middle of the night, talking to my kid and it was like I could see through my closed door and "see" what was happening

What if it's not an hallucination?

I had it every few days, sometimes nightly, for a couple years. Those visual hallucinations are almost indistinguishable from reality, and can look more real than reality, if that makes any sense! What you see is utterly convincing, if you don't know what's happening and don't know what to look for. Mine stopped the morning I realized the difference between the room I was seeing when having a visual hallucination looked completely different from what I saw once I actually woke up - it's something like that thing that happens when you go to sleep in a strange room, say a hotel room or a guest room at a relative's place, and then wake up confused about where you are... the most noticeable difference was in the lighting: while having the hallucination, the room was almost pitch-dark, but when I woke up completely, it was bright and sunny daylight. Curiously, auditory and visual hallucinations are not all that you can experience: one of the signature hallucinatory sensations of Sleep Paralysis is a pressure on your chest, arms, neck, and face, as if something is sitting on you, and there's also the sensation of something touching your arms or legs, shaking your bed, crawling over your body from the foot of the bed, pulling on your blankets, bugs crawling on you, and so on. I've experienced hallucinatory smells and tastes as well, and then there are less-commonly recognized "sixth senses" that can be affected by hallucinations, such as a sense of kinaesthesia, or how different parts of your body are positioned in relationship to the floor and each other - the effect can feel like you're levitating or flying, or your arms and legs are being moved around (sometimes in anatomically impossible ways), or your being pulled out of bed, or a sensation that I kind of think of as "gravity", in which I'd feel the weight of something that wasn't touching me but was somehow invisible in the room with me, something like that feeling of being watched, or that sense you get of someone standing behind you... the effect usually comes across like the feeling that someone is in your room with you while you're sleeping, standing just out of sight, leaning over your bed, or I could also feel a sensation as if some sort of dense gravity were pulling my mind through my body and bed into the earth, or again, a sensation of levitating. The variety of forms the visual hallucinations could take, and the variety of other kinds of hallucinations, along with the sheer number of times it happened to me, made it pretty easy for me to see how sleep paralysis could lead to being associated with all sorts of different "paranormal" experiences, from the classic "old hag" (I did see a terrifying old woman a few times), to hauntings, to vampire lore, to alien abductions, to "pixilation" by fairies, to demonic possession, and I don't doubt one bit that those experiences are absolutely terrifying, and seem absolutely real to those unfortunate enough to experience it! To me, it's not a matter of "oh, that's JUST sleep paralysis!", sleep paralysis is every bit as weird and terrifying and "real" as any technically "paranormal" experience, much stranger and more disturbing, actually, simply because your own mind somehow invents things that you'd never inflict upon yourself consciously. And, as I said above, it feels "more real than reality" when it happens... there's no part of the experience, the weirdness, or the terror that is "invalid" or "mundane" to me. Seriously - our unconscious minds could conjure all sorts of pleasant or mundane things to experience in this state of consciousness, so why should the things we experience instead be so nearly universally bizarre, unearthly, and frightening? Any biological or psychological cause for sleep paralysis seems to me just as mysterious, frightening, strange, and worthy of sharing as encounters with actual ghosts and demons and vampires would be! Anyway, I've had the visual hallucinations lots of times, and they are as unsettling as you can imagine. But, maybe strangely, I kind of miss them now that they've stopped - I love horror stories and movies, and now that I understand a little better what Sleep Paralysis is and how it works, it's like having a world of terrifying little horror movies running in my own mind that are more imaginative and frightening and weird than you usually find in actual horror movies and stories. I'm not usually creative in waking life, so these moments of vivid - if terrifying - imagination from my subconscious are something that fascinates me!

Visual hallucinations during sleep paralysis are the worst, and for me they were always immediately following terrible nightmares. One time that I found especially weird, despite not being quite the scenario but happened in a string of terrible nights. I got so scared during a nightmare that I forced myself to wake up and there was the really weird moment where the sky split open as i opened my eyes. Its an experience that I haven't forgotten cause of the weird bodily feeling that came with it

I've had it happen several times. Twice I felt as if something/someone was sitting to beside me. I was afraid of falling asleep after that for a while. Now I kinda know what to expect. Still a weird feeling when it happens.

I read the entire series. You find out Jacks background in one of the later books (I wish they’d narrate the rest of the books cuz it’s awesome!) there were some parallels but definitely not the same guy

I came to the comments for this lol it might not be the same jack but a guy who works at a gas station and doesn't sleep is ceru coincidental. Maybe it's a parallel universe? 🤔
