 I had to stay at home for awhile and she had taken my old room so I had to stay in hers.  During that week I had the feeling that someone was on top of me.  I know I was awake but I was too afraid to open my eyes.  I could not move or scream.  It would last for about 5 or 10 minutes until I forced myself to open my eyes.  It was exactly like that "choking" effect.  The only other person I have ever told was my sister because I thought people would think I was nuts if I told them.  There was def. a presence in that room!

  You should check out the AKA forum under "Silly Superstitions" (I think the last post was on 3/19/01). I and a few others have experienced this "feeling". In the South and the Caribbean it's referred to the 'devil or witch riding your back'. It's very interesting. I think the superstition says that you have to put salt on your doorstep to keep the witch away or something like that. Anyway, you should check out this thread.
Peace,
