'Official entry to the Paranormal Activity UK DVD Competition'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young man snoozes on his bed one summer evening. From the corner of his eye he thinks he can see something in the dark corner of his room. The creature advances on him. Is it real or just a nightmare? Or is it both?
Particularly relevant to anyone who has ever suffered from sleep paralysis.
This film was made in May, 2006. The quality obviously isn't great on youtube but that's what happens when you compress digital.

Some trivia.....

*It was filmed a few weeks before the entry date. You were only allowed a 2mins duration which explains the brevity.

*It was filmed in a top floor flat bedroom just off Great Western Road beside George Cross Subway station in Glasgow just in-case you were wondering.

Another time my dogg woke my up in the night by growling to sometime in my room. It was in the middle of the night and I was SP`ed again I couldn`t look for why my dogg was growling because of the SP. Butt animals sence things to and when my doog is not with me when I sleep I`m really really scared.

Sleep Paralysis has made me go almost insane and I offend have insomnia because I'm afraid to go to bed. I'm 21 and I still sleep with a night light or a teddy bear. It's no laughing matter. It's seriously one of the worst possible diseases, if it even is a disease.
