THE "OLD HAG" SYNDROME: SLEEP DISORDER OR PSYCHIC VAMPIRES?

"BLUE" JIMMY: PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR

BLIND DOG OZZY:  NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA

"BLUE" JIMMY: On Monday night's (July 23) episode of George Noory's Coast to Coast AM radio show the featured guest was a man by the name of Tobias Mc Griff who probably has one of the best jobs in the world, man.  He runs a company called Blue Orb Tours which is basically tours of dark, eerie and haunted places in Savannah, Georgia which has long been known to be one of the most haunted places is America.  His tours have names like The Zombies tour and The City of The Dead tour and he actually serves as the tour guide.  He also has a radio show called Savannah Paranormal on WTKS 1290 (in Savannah) which addresses all manner of subjects regarding The Unexplained.

BD OZZY:  My favorite part of the show was when he started talking about The "Old Hag" Syndrome.

"BLUE" JIMMY:  The "Old Hag" syndrome is a phenomenon that people since ancient times have experienced in every part of the world.  The basic trip is that you wake up feeling a crushing pressure on your chest and the sensation of someone or something sitting on top of you and breathing in your face.  Then you start seeing weird s**t all up in your room and maybe even sounds or voices.

BD OZZY:  !!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  And the worst part is, your body is completely paralyzed!

BD OZZY:  Damn! I've had that happen to me!  

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Brother, that's 'cause all Chihuahuas have sleep apnea.

BD OZZY:  Wha-?

"BLUE " JIMMY:  Which brings me to our next subject.  Doctors and scientists have tried to explain away the phenomenon by saying that it is a sleep disorder commonly referred to as sleep paralysis which occurs when your mind is awake but your voluntary muscle movements are shut down, giving you the sensation that something has put a spell on you.

BD OZZY:  (Singing) "I Put A Spell On You!" 

"BLUE" JIMMY:  They also say that the weird s**t you see and hear is due to hypnagogic or hypnopompic experiences.  One occurs while you are partly awake and entering a state of sleep and the other occurs while you are partly asleep and starting to wake up.  I forget which is which, look it up, man.  The pressure you feel on your chest is supposedly attributed to the panic you are feeling from the attack or difficulty breathing.  All very well and good.  But I've had this experience  and if you've ever had it, you are very aware that it is not a dream and there is the powerful sensation that there is something in the room with you and that it is trying to draw something from your body while you can't move.
BD OZZY:  Quit drinking that cheap malt liquor before bed time.

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Experts in the occult say that when a person kicks the bucket, they remain in this earthly dimension for about one day and then they must pass into another plane of existence.  If they are afraid to pass over into that plane for whatever reason, they may try to remain in this dimension by drawing life energy from a living being when they are in a vulnerable state; sleep being one of those states.  They also say that a living person practicing black magic may target you and take this psychic energy from you without you knowing it thus, the term psychic vampire.  This would explain why people say they feel drained after the attack. 

BD OZZY:  Holy S***!
"BLUE" JIMMY:  All I know is that the attacks became less severe and almost comical when I stopped fearing them and did not panic when they happened -- like whatever is sucking the energy out of you feeds on your fear.

BD OZZY:  So you're saying that you believe the occult explanation and not the medical explanation?

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Well, let's put it this way, I would forget all about the superstitious hoodoo swamp woman mumbo jumbo and encourage people to just go ahead and take the medical cure -- if there was one...

BD OZZY:  "Don't Fear The Reaper!"

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!

BD OZZY:  Wow! Wow!
