<<<It pinned me to the bed and I was immediately paralysed. I couldn't even scream or anything>>>
Well, that reminds me of what a girlfriend of my mother's aunt went through in some house where they were staying together in the 40s or 50s. They were sleeping in adjacent bedrooms. When they went to bed, that woman immediately felt something heavy land on her feet and legs and hold them. She was terrified but could not scream. She lay like that until next morning when it let her go. When she told about this horror to the people they were staying with they said that someone had hanged himself in the room a long time ago. There you go.
Jemma,
I just wanted to say how much I agree with your views and interpretation of your and others' scary experiences. Saying a prayer or just mentally picturing an icon of Jesus or Trinity normally dispells evil presence or physical pressure. Besides Lord's Prayer and Credo there are other very effective evil-disabling prayers and anyone who is able to read can learn them. For non-Christians it's just too hard to acknowledge that otherwise these Christian basics of protection wouldn't have existed for 2,000 years - and worked.
Anyway, I have to confirm that children are an easy prey for evil spirits - especially unbaptised children and infants. Presence of such a spirit (a restless soul that didn't get a proper burial, as it is traditionally interpreted in the Orthodox tradition) can be extremely traumatic to a young child. My mother's parents neglected to have her baptised after she was born. All the years until she turned 18 and left home she had been literally tormented by an evil creature living in her bedroom. Things were especially scary - unbearable - when she was 5 or 7 years old. She was a "key child" and would be left alone from morning till midnight when her mother's shift at textile factory ended. Whenever the poor little girl was alone in her bedroom (on the top floor of a turn-of-the-19th-century block of flats) she would hear evil, terrifying giggling coming from behind the old cupboard. She just knew that there was something that hated her for some reason. Furniture would shake and move by itself. All this would make her scream and run down the stairs and hang around outside the building on the street until 12 at night waiting for her mother to come home. Just imagine what it was like growing there.
Myself, I have similar memories of being watched whenever I tried to take a short nap during the day when I was a child. It was so intense that I as soon as closed my eyes I would have to immediately open them again - but there was no one in the room. This happened every time when I was at home alone and parents away at work. Very unnerving.
Personally, I know all this is true and don't care if someone may doubt this. I just want to stress that children - and especially infants and toddlers - should NEVER be left unsupervised. And that baptised children DO get invisible protection from evil.
