### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for every student of sleep, psychology, dreaming, or deliverance
*by R***A on July 5, 2017*

I read this book from beginning to end. It is very interesting and is certainly one of the most comprehensive books on the topic. However, it is not the best. The reason for this is that the author seems to have overlooked the massive volumes of research and "experimentation" (meaning practical, effective, and proven application of theory) which exists within the body of believers in Jesus.We understand full well the origin of "Old Hag" attacks. These are not one source. They are many times demons. Other times, individual humans can project and effect these attacks. This can be done by practitioners of witchcraft or simply by angry people who do not fully understand in their conscious mind what they are doing.Anyone wishing to learn more about what is popularly called "deliverance" by those who work to set people free can start with Win Worley or Derek Prince.One important thing to understand is the notion of rights. In the spiritual world, there are rights of access. For example, the three young women who lived in a demonized home on top of a hill... It is likely the hill was used in the past as a place of sacrifice to demons (probably considered "spirits" or "gods" by earlier peoples, before the home was ever built.) That is the right of the demons- sacrifice to them. The story of the Philippines shows another right- the photo on the wall of the old woman- that alone is sufficient right for her to enter as she wills.Notice carefully how the demons attempted to alter the thoughts of one of the three young women living on the hilltop- to to implant ideas to kill her friends. That is one of the reasons demonic beings attack. They desire to "kill, steal, and destroy." They attack via access using the soul. The body comprises the physical flesh, the intermediary soul, and the spirit. The spirit uses the soul to interact with the body. The attacker seizes control of the soul in order to affect the person. The soul is the seat of the mind, will, and emotions (and more, I'm sure.) To influence will and thought, they seize the soul- and thus render the person attacked unable to move their own body. Without control of the soul, they cannot move their own body.* Please understand this as well: When the person attacked thinks they will die or that it is useless to resist, it is very likely these are false notions implanted by the attacker as a means of preventing resistance. Also notice how the name of Jesus is very effective in ending some of these attacks- when the attacked person knew to use it.You did include some testimonies from Mormons. I should tell you, many Christians, including myself, go on missions trips and sleep soundly. I have even slept in rooms filled with pagan images and statuettes. Before I found myself there, the Holy Spirit showed me in a dream that the spirits behind those images would desire to harm me- but that He would not allow it! The following week, I travelled to Boston and slept in a rented airbnb room- decorated wall to wall with eastern religious items. As promised, I slept great.Still, I tip my hat to you. In your book, I recognized and enjoyed a measure of dedication to the scientific process which is (to be frank) virtually nonexistent in academia and popular science. The "peer-reviewed" process is drifting sideways into something which can better be called "peer-controlled" or "peer-attenuated." The scientific method is just a tool. The mind wielding it must first desire to find and publish the truth. I believe you are doing this quite well.The excellent compilation and overview here cannot be rated anything less than 5-stars. It will be a valuable read for Christians and for anyone interested in an interesting and logical review of paralyzing, terrifying attacks which onset during sleep. Well done!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This author experienced what I have throughout my lifetme.
*by M***  on January 26, 2025*

I have had Sleep Paralysis since age 7. I finally stopped it back in 2018-2019 by praying to God. Louis Proud describes the muffeled music and or people talking just beyond audible comprehension. Thats what I experienced while wide awake also since age 7. He says "they" are trying to tune you in. I am a former executive in manufacturing, an engineer with an MBA. My IQ is 88th percentile. Scre the medical profession. This stuff is in my opinion spiritual and / or paranormal. Some of his descriptions also parallels what Father Vincent Lampert wrote. Look him up as hes an Exorcist and a Catholic Priest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly fascinating
*by U***E on August 27, 2014*

Well researched and written treatise on night terrors, waking dreams and other such esoterica. I found this book after an experience of my own, and found the analysis and explanations lucid and helpful. The widespread nature of the central phenomenon, the so called Old Hag experience, means the fuel for a talented folklorist like Hufford is bountiful indeed. An engaging exploration of a central tenet of paranormal experiences, from alien abduction to spirit possession.
