In Thailand, some believe that breathing difficulties at night are caused by the Phi Am spirit — a ghost that sits on your chest and crushes you. Guam has legends of the Taotaomona, a forest vampire spirit that seeks to protect Earth. Those who disrespect the island, the stories say, will be strangled in their sleep.

I used to get this when I was a kid -- terrifying!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it's not aliens, Jay?
ReplyDeleteI had a similar encounter like this. We were staying at a bed and breakfast in Stillwater, the Sauntry Mansion, rumored to be haunted by William Sauntry. Early one morning, I couldn't move my leg, as if someone was sitting on the bed. I asked, "William, is that you?" I said we had a wonderful time, and he had a beautiful house. Then, in a raspy voice, he spoke my name, and I woke with a start!
