Geomagnetic Activity Possible Cause of Sleep Paralysis

Sleep Paralysis is something that has been plaguing mankind throughout his existence. Sleep Paralysis, Is a condition where people find themselves unable to move or perform any voluntary action either right before falling asleep, or right after waking up. The worst form, Hallucinatory Sleep Paralysis, is often accompanied by horrible hallucinations, feelings of intense terror and a malevolent presence.

What sets Hallucinatory Sleep Paralysis apart from other more common sleep disorders aside from its particularly disturbing effects is the fact it often occurs geographically in isolated time periods, like an epidemic. Reports of frightening attacks of Sleep Paralysis will often flood in all at once in a certain location, where there had been none before. Studies show these epidemics of Sleep Paralysis can last as long as four years, but most commonly only a few months. Sleep Paralysis also seems to be hereditary, it commonly runs in families through many generations. These are all things science has not yet been able to explain, perhaps until now.

Recent studies have shown that reports of Sleep Paralysis, and Sleep Paralysis legends are more common in geographical hotspots such as Mexico City and all through-out the Pacific Ring of Fire, even the Hawaiian Islands are crawling with legends of Choking Ghosts. What most of these Sleep Paralysis hot spots have in common is geophysical activity, volcanoes, fault lines and the like. Evidence is becoming more and more convincing that Sleep Paralysis and some other paranormal activity seems to coincide with the geophysical conditions of an area.

In fact, alot of research has been suggesting that certain geomagnetic conditions most often created in places with irregular geophysical conditions, directly correlate with reports of paranormal occurences including Sleep Paralysis.
