If you’ve had sleep paralysis, what was the thing you saw in the room with you?

I had it when I was 10 and 11, and every time the thing I saw in the room with me was column of darkness roughly 9 feet tall and 3 feet wide…a bit like the smoke monster in Lost, but vertical. It felt evil, like it needed to feed on my soul to survive, but took pleasure it making it a terrifying process.

I used to have that all the time. I never opened my eyes till recently because I didn’t want to see them. The one I saw was a shadow blob at the edge of my bed. Not very large. Vaguely human-shaped.
