Ha! It makes me feel much better to know I’m not the only one. For awhile it was happening at least once a night. I think my husband thought I was totally losing it.

God, that’s a terrifying thought!

That sounds terrifying!

Thanks for the explanation! And, in some ways I feel a bit better if it’s not true because that was some terrifying stuff!

I don’t think it was deemed fake because the stalking was unbelievable, but because others had seen the same story including the extra long finger on other creepypasta type sites. Also, the posted said she would post the picture of the creepy long finger holding up the note in her window BUT she couldn’t because it…

Or maybe the author also posted it to reddit? idk. I’ve never used reddit.

A Sasquatch! That never occurred to me, but I love this theory.

I have never thought of this as sleep paralysis but I have a 6-month-old baby, and I would frequently wake up in the night, panicked demanding, “where’s the baby?” because I was convinced she was in our bed and would suffocate to which my husband, would calmly and sleepily reply, “sleeping in her bed” which was a…

But what if sleep paralysis is just a convenient way to explain away truly paranormal experiences?

So scary!

So scary and sad!

Ha! Same. I’m 35 - born in 1982, so only a few years younger than the author’s mother, but my only child is an infant. I can’t imagine having a kid old enough to comment on Jez.

Nope, nope, nope. Hide in the trees in the darkness where who knows what could be lurking. Nope, nope, nope!

holy shit.

Are you me? I was pregnant, feeling sick, and having trouble sleeping and devoured every last story and comment last year. Now, I’m just like please don’t be too many creepy stories about children or anything bad happening to babies.

Except Cynthia Nixon also better things to do, like winning Tony Awards.

I remember that too! That child was so pure in her love of CVS.
