Summary

For a moment just imagine, you wake up in the middle of the night and all of your family members are standing in your room. They all have black holes for eyes and are screaming obscenities at you and proclaiming that they are moments away from killing you, and you are paralyzed with fear. Unable to move. Unable to escape. And it’s real. It’s just as real as anything you’ve ever experienced in your life. HOW BAD WOULD THAT SUCK!? Well, this is what it’s like for Julia, every god damn night. This week on Sickboy we cover the horrifying world of chronic & severe Sleep Paralysis. Get ready for a horror film, lived out in real life.
