This happened to me in the mid 90's.
Went fishing for the weekend on a secluded lake, beautiful weather, weed and peace and quiet. What more could a young lad ask for?
The Friday night and Saturday day passed off without incident(apart from the rats). Just as the sun was about to set I baited my rods for the night and smoked a J and decided to get my head down.
Next thing I heard my bite alarm go off, normally I would be up and out, but I couldn't move a muscle. My chest felt like there was someone or something really pushing down on it and the very unnerving feeling of something inside the tent with me.
I can't say how long this lasted but it felt like hours and I was petrified. I don't know how but I fell back to sleep and woke up as usual in the morning thinking it must have been a dream, until I checked my rods and the one still had a fish on, got the fish in let it go and started to pack up as quick as I could.
On the way out seen the bailiff and asked if there was anyone else on the lake. No was the answer just me.
Went to see the doctor a couple of days later and he said it was sleep paralysis and it would only have lasted a couple of minutes which freaked me out even more.
That couple of minutes/hours is the most terrified I've ever been.
Did it stop me smoking weed? The answer is yes for a couple of months anyway.
Sorry for the long post
