Speaker 2 (01:49):
Attacks what now you.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Have to tell, mindy what is sleep? Paralysis i've heard
about it and it's.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Creepy.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yeah mikayla asked, me DO i know what it? IS i,
GO i THINK i have it BECAUSE i simply don't.
Sleep she's, like then you don't have.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Yeah so this has happened to me less than ten
times in my, life which is.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
There's still too many.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Times, yeah a lot of people have it a lot.
More BUT i didn't know this UNTIL i learned. It
but we're actually all. Paralyzed when we're sleeping in that
right rapid eye movement, stage we're. Paralyzed and people, say
our scientists, say so we don't act out our, dreams our,
jokes ourself. Awake so people who suffer from not having,
paralysis they are sleepwalkers and they go get a butcher
(02:31):
knife or go drive a car and they don't remember.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It they should be in paralysis in that.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Moment so sleep paralysis is when you're in that fifth
stage of, sleep that rapid eye moment. Stage your eyes
are flickering and you cannot move and then it's a
phenomenon where you wake up and you cannot move your
body at, all not even your. Mouth and a lot
of people who llucinate. Demons i've had demonicacounters. Myself so
(02:55):
if you look it up On, google people are describing
demons the same from all over the. World SO i
have a huge following from outside Of, America, Indonesia, Philippines.
Mexico people are describing demons the. Same i'm, like you
got this is, Crazy so.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Can you explain to us and to our listeners right
now what you yourself have gone?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Through, YES i got two episodes that stand out my
first one and my last. One my first, ONE i
was probably around ten years. OLD i was sleeping on my.
Side this usually happens when you're sleeping on your. BACK
i was sleeping on my side on a. COUCH i
woke up suddenly could not. MOVE i felt the most
(03:33):
evil presence getting bigger and bigger and getting closer to.
Me the door was behind me to the, room AND
i can just feel something building, up AND i was,
like oh my, GOD i couldn't. Move ten years, old freaked.
Out and THEN i just snapped out of it AND
i could, move AND i look and there's absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
There did you tell your parents ten years?
Speaker 7 (03:52):
OLD i was just with my. MOM i was just
raised by a single parent. MOM i did not tell.
HER i didn't tell anybody UNTIL i got to college
AND i realized there's a term called sleep. Process And i'm,
like oh my, God i'm not. Alone this is.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Crazy what's your last?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Episode?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, boy was it last?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Night?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh? No this Was.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
This was probably around two thousand and, six was my last.
EPISODE i had became A christian a couple of days.
BEFORE i was reading The. Bible luke ten, Seventeen even
the demons submit to us in your Name. Jesus and
SO i had an unbelievable sleep process. Attack it was
people call it. Hallucination, sure my ceiling family was going.
(04:34):
Crazy posters on my. Wall just imagine everything in this
room just spinning around like The, exorcist AND i could
not move. Again that demonic spirit just. Building and here's the.
Thing the MORE i feared, it the bigger it. Got
and it just was just creeping on. Me AND i
was like trying to Say jesus BECAUSE i remember the
scripture AND i. Couldn't AND i fought for so long
(04:57):
and THEN i was able to Say, jesus AND i
snapped out of. It, boom everything went. Away haven't had
sleep processes ever. Since a lot of people have the
same testimony That jesus has saved them to get rid
of Sleep processis that gives me.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Goosebumps that's.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
CRAZY i couldn't make that up as much as a
STORYTELLER i.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Am so when you start to tell your story and
you realize that there's other people just like, you a
lot of people who experience, this is that when you,
thought you know, what we can make a movie about
this and really gain some. Attention, oh for.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Sure WHEN i was recognizing that people were describing a
demons the same that's just. Unexplainable and we have a.
Podcast we're on episode probably twenty, five so we're talking
to sleep, experts sleep, doctors people who experienced, it And
i'm just coming to a conclusion that we have the
term of collective conscious this whole, world and can't get
(05:47):
too deep into.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It i'll just leave. You.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Guys that's a, Lot, yeah that's a.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Lot but we can experience the same things we. Can't
someone from over here in the world can't have the
same experience as someone over. There SO i just try
to make sense of. This how are people seeing this?
Saying and if you look at them On, google you'll See,
incubis the Hat, Man There's Old.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Hag there's all these.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Names that people are describing and they move the same,
talk the same glowing white, eyes the, presence and it's,
like this is.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Crazy logan had sleep. Paralysis we never talked about. It he.
Did he did within the last two. Years my fifteen
year old had sleep. Paralysis he talked about a shadow
moving in from the side of his.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Room shadow.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
MAN i, mean it's a, thing it's a, thing and
here you are making a fictional movie about, it but
with the inspiration of what you and others have gone
through in the.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Podcast you have won some film grants for, this it looks,
like but you need.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
More, Yes so we are forty thousand dollars. Away i've
stayed here in Central ohio because they're so. Supportive i'll
probably get lost In la Or. Atlanta i've been on
the news five. Times thank you guys for inviting. ME
i can't imagine this happening in a different. State SO
i feel like me staying IN. Columbuso how it was
proven to be the right. Choice we got The ohio
(07:08):
film tax. Credit the city Of hilliard has given us a.
Grant we have to spend fifty thousand dollars in their
city and they will give us the twenty five thousand
dollars back of a. Grant and so we're trying to
film most of things In. Hilliard the city Of mansfield
is supporting.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Us of.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
COURSE i could See mansfield going all in for something
like this for. Sure, Yeah so set the, stage give
us the plot and the, scene the, backdrop the background
of How aimless.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Begins it starts with the introduction of the Character, melvin
who has been. Silent he used to be a how
old is. Starting he's around sixteen years, old and, imagineesse
he was, academics, athletically most popular. Kid all of a,
sudden he stops talking to. Everybody he starts acting. Disturbed
(07:58):
so everyone's, like what happened to? Him he's just he
doesn't believe anyone would believe, him and so he went
through a sleep paralysis experience that changed his, life traumatized.
Them now this clinical psychologist has to try to figure that,
out and she tries to get him to, talk and
she has to do certain. Tactics he eventually opens up
(08:20):
and she's trying to help, him but she kind of
doesn't believe.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Him she thinks there's something wrong with.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Him and then she experiences sleep paralysis and she's, like
oh my, god my client was right all the. Long
and so there's a twist at the end as. Well
So i'm trying to leave that cliffhanger for you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Guys how.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Exciting she loves a good she LOVES i can do
a psychological. Thriller i'm harder with, horror but this is
like right up your alley and kind of up my
alley it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Is i'm still just you, know there's a reason WHY
i never sleep on my, back because you said it
comes to you more when you sleep on your, back
And i'm always on my. Side so you're saying when
people experience, this they literally cannot.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Move, yeah and when to bring that up sleeping on the,
Back think about those.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Hieroglyphics and The.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Egyptians they were always on their back on people carry
and that is.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
True.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yeah and they always talked about like the Third eye
that whether you call It osiris or, something there's a
pioneo glan and this is our gateway to the spirit.
World so These egyptians do it not a. Lot what
was going? On and then you, KNOW i think that
we're living in a time period where our pi neil
(09:38):
gland isn't even talked, about so we don't know our spiritual,
gifts and so our culture is just all about media,
gratification make, money get you, know live the life that you.
Want but really we are very spiritual beings and we're
just suppressed because we don't talk about. It we don't
know how to grow.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
It this is really amazing that you've taken all this
and put this into a, movie and then you said a.
Podcast what is the podcast and where is?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
It it's A i got a YouTube, channel Twelve Stones,
production So i'm uploading on. There and then there's a sleep.
Researcher her name Is Sheila brooks out of THE. Uk
she's the podcast host and so if you go to
her website you can see all of our episodes as.
Well but we're just inviting people and we're helping them
a lot Of, again a lot of these people have
not told, anybody and so now it's a safe space
(10:25):
for people say you're not, alone and now they're just,
like oh my, God i'm so.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
ALLEVIATED i REMEMBER i thought it was.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
CRAZY i, MEAN i probably still am, crazy BUT i
THOUGHT i, was, like AM i the only one that.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Has a demon haunting? THEM i?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
NEED i MEAN i need to Ask logan.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
More yeah you.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Do LIKE i bet there's people listening to this right now,
saying oh my, gosh that happened to.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Me are we? Live we? Are who? Are? Yes what
did you think we were just talking? ABOUT i thought
this podcast will come out of, well.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But it will come out a later.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Time, yeah we are l IV e live but with.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
It, yeah there are people listening right now that are probably,
saying you are describing exactly what happened to. Me how
do we know the percentage of population that has?
Speaker 7 (11:10):
This, oh he, does it's thirty. Percent But i'm gonna
say it's more than.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
That i'm going to say it's more than that time
because not everyone reports.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
EVERYONE i was just gonna say that they're probably scared
to or they probably don't even maybe know that they
even experienced. It they just know that something happened.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Exactly so if you go On, GOOGLE i didn't know
to call it sleep paralysis UNTIL i got to, College
so if you don't go to, college you might not
ever hear this.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Term so the second popular term is like frozen while.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You're, sleep even though you're not, cold. Frozen people don't
know how to describe. It it's LIKE i woke up
and they don't.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Even use the word.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Paralyzed it's JUST i was frozen while sleep and so
different stuff is going to come.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Up if we need to help him, out we need
to get this film made SO i can go and watch.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
IT i, know because you'll love it and so many
people will feel. Seen, Okay So, cyrus what do you
need to happen to raise the. Money how are you
raising the? Money are you doing a GoFundMe like or
how are you trying to get the money right?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Now we've had a couple of investors jump on board so,
far so we're looking for.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
More, Again we've got some, grants so we're just looking for.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Donations since we're filming In, hilliard if you can get
the city Of hilliard to.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Back us up whatever huge.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
CORPORATIONS a lot of these corporations have like donor relations
type community engagement roles where, hey we just put money
into our community that we believe. In so IF i

money Because i'd rather operate off of you, know free
money than money that's owed. Back, Absolutely i'll take it
