There was a small party night before last and the 4 of us fell to telling ghost experiences. One in particular was very interesting.
The teller was lying in bed when he literally felt a presence in the room. This presence gave no impression if being inimical but interested. Then he felt a pressure starting at this feet and slowly moving up his body pressing him into the bed. This pressure was strong enough to stop him moving though he felt that at any time, if he put enough strength into it, he could move. The pressure rose higher up his body until it came to his throat at which time he began to feel some fear.
Not wanting to scare what he felt was a merely curious being he asked, politely, that it stop what it was doing and forced his arm to move at which the pressure vanished.
So far this is a normal hypnogogic experience, all perfectly explainable in terms of a waking dream except ...
Looking down the bed he could see that the duvet he was lying beneath had been pressed flat and moulded round his body
