Geomagnetic Activity Possible Cause of Sleep Paralysis

Sleep Paralysis is something that has been plaguing mankind throughout his existence. Sleep Paralysis, Is a condition where people find themselves unable to move or perform any voluntary action either right before falling asleep, or right after waking up. The worst form, Hallucinatory Sleep Paralysis, is often accompanied by horrible hallucinations, feelings of intense terror and a malevolent presence.

What sets Hallucinatory Sleep Paralysis apart from other more common sleep disorders aside from its particularly disturbing effects is the fact it often occurs geographically in isolated time periods, like an epidemic. Reports of frightening attacks of Sleep Paralysis will often flood in all at once in a certain location, where there had been none before. Studies show these epidemics of Sleep Paralysis can last as long as four years, but most commonly only a few months. Sleep Paralysis also seems to be hereditary, it commonly runs in families through many generations. These are all things science has not yet been able to explain, perhaps until now.

Recent studies have shown that reports of Sleep Paralysis, and Sleep Paralysis legends are more common in geographical hotspots such as Mexico City and all through-out the Pacific Ring of Fire, even the Hawaiian Islands are crawling with legends of Choking Ghosts. What most of these Sleep Paralysis hot spots have in common is geophysical activity, volcanoes, fault lines and the like. Evidence is becoming more and more convincing that Sleep Paralysis and some other paranormal activity seems to coincide with the geophysical conditions of an area.

In fact, alot of research has been suggesting that certain geomagnetic conditions most often created in places with irregular geophysical conditions, directly correlate with reports of paranormal occurences including Sleep Paralysis.

Things such as volcanoes, fault lines, hurricanes, tsunamis and even just waves crashing on a shore also commonly generate natural infrasonic sound. Infrasonic sounds are very low frequency sounds that are below 20Hz snd can travel long distances and resonate in areas for long periods of time, humans cannot hear the sounds. Controlled experiments with Infrasonic sound show that they cause unease, nervousness, feelings of fear, and even hallucinations of apparitions at lower levels. At extremely low levels they can cause nausea and vomiting. Large manmade structures,particularly ones subject to large amounts of automobile traffic or other mechanical vibrations on or near them, can generate infrasonic sound. I wouldnt doubt if infrasound is linked to Sleep Paralysis later.

Having suffered from Hallucinatory Sleep Paralysis, I am excited by some of this research. It is the only explanation of Sleep Paralysis I have heard from a scientific perspective that seems reasonable and manages to explain some of the previously unexplainable aspects of Sleep paralysis.

This could explain many things that has baffled me about Sleep Paralysis. Particularly why Sleep Paralysis seems to strike in isolated epidemics in certain locations. It could explain the shared experiences sometimes reported in Sleep Paralysis cases. And perhaps there is a gene that causes some of us to be more sensitive to geophysical activity that could easily explain why Sleep Paralysis seems to be hereditary.

This seems to go beyond Sleep Paralysis. I believe further research into these areas would explain much more than Sleep Paralysis. I cant help but think of the Mothman sightings in Charleston and Point Pleasant West Virginia that seemed to abruptly end with the collapse of the Silver Bridge, perhaps this bridge was generating infrasonic sounds for so long it eventually just fell apart. It was in fact an eyebar chain suspension bridge, wich could easily vibrate in such a way. Wether or not you suffer from Sleep Paralysis, its hard not to find what this research suggests interesting.
