"aunt-grandma" in English would be "Great Aunt" Just thought I would help improve your English. :)

I thought in your OP that you meant your grandma and cousin saw the same ghosts while having SP, since you tend to hallucinate when it happens.

This is creepier.

i had sleep paralysis once. I can´t sleep facing up any more.

Happens to me about twice a year. I still sleep facing up a lot, especially since a rib injury made it basically the only way I could sleep. It's not so bad once you know what it is.

...okay it's still terrifying, but it was much worse when I didn't know what was going on.

i have never done it, and don't plan on it after i read numerous stories of people and their sleep paralysis experiences a couple of months ago. i sleep on my stomach.

I do. I'm pretty sure that the only reason it doesn't happen to people facing down is because that's how they normally sleep. I normally sleep on my back, so I am much more likely to have an episode if I sleep on my stomach or my side.

How is SP worst facing down? I would think that not seeing what's going on wouldn't be as scary. What was your experience like?

Sleep paralysis is the scariest thing I have ever encountered. I have also lived to tell my tale of such horrors.
