Sleep Paralysis: Unexplained Bruises and Supernatural Theories Explored in Viral Video

A recent online video has sparked discussion by exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, a condition where individuals temporarily experience an inability to move or speak either upon falling asleep or waking up. The video, shared by user 'Страшно интересно', suggests that unexplained bruises found on the body after sleep could be linked to these episodes. While medical science attributes sleep paralysis to a temporary disconnect between the brain and body during REM sleep, the video delves into folklore, proposing that a 'demon of sleep paralysis' is responsible for holding individuals down, leading to feelings of pressure on the chest, disturbing dreams, and physical marks. The content features a speaker discussing these claims, accompanied by a series of unsettling images and surveillance-style footage purportedly showing shadowy figures and individuals experiencing distress in their beds. Viewers are invited to share their own experiences with sleep paralysis or unexplained bruises.
