Download or read book The Terror That Comes in the Night written by David J. Hufford and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Hufford's work exploring the experiential basis for belief in the supernatural, focusing here on the so-called Old Hag experience, a psychologically disturbing event in which a victim claims to have encountered some form of malign entity while dreaming (or awake). Sufferers report feeling suffocated, held down by some "force," paralyzed, and extremely afraid. The experience is surprisingly common: the author estimates that approximately 15 percent of people undergo this event at some point in their lives. Various cultures have their own name for the phenomenon and have constructed their own mythology around it; the supernatural tenor of many Old Hag stories is unavoidable. Hufford, as a folklorist, is well-placed to investigate this puzzling occurrence.

Appropriate behavioral and pharmacological treatments are addressed in detail.

Sleep specialists, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals with an interest in sleep disorders will find this book essential reading.

Download or read book Terror by Night written by Terry Caffey and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 3:00 a.m. on March 1, 2008, Terry Caffey awoke to find his daughter’s boyfriend standing in his bedroom with a gun. An instant later the teen opened fire, killing Terry’s wife, his two sons, and wounding him 12 times, before setting the house ablaze. Terry fell into deep depression and planned to kill himself, but God intervened. Upon visiting his burned-out property, Terry noticed a scorched scrap of paper from one of his wife’s books leaning against a tree trunk. The page read: “[God,] I couldn’t understand why You would take my family and leave me behind to struggle along without them. And I guess I still don’t totally understand that part of it. But I do believe that You’re sovereign; You’re in control.” That page was like a direct message from God, and it turned Terry’s life around. Now, one year later, Terry is remarried, the adoptive father of two young sons, and working to rebuild his relationship with his 17-year-old daughter, who is currently serving two life sentences in a Texas state penitentiary for her involvement in the crimes. Terror by Night tells the compelling story of how Terry Caffey found peace after his wife and sons were brutally murdered and his teenage daughter implicated in the crime. Sharing never-before-told details about the night of the crime and subsequent murder trial, it explains how Terry was able to forgive the men who murdered his family, and how he even interceded with the prosecutors on their behalf. A powerful example of how the power of forgiveness can bring healing after tragedy and great loss, it shows how God can bring good out of even the darkest tragedies.

Book excerpt: ** AS READ ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK IN DECEMBER 2022 ** 'Curious, lively, humble, utterly genuine ... a remarkable debut.' SUNDAY TIMES Alice Vernon often wakes up to find strangers in her bedroom. Ever since she was a child, her nights have been haunted by nightmares of a figure from her adolescence, sinister hallucinations and episodes of sleepwalking. These are known as 'parasomnias' - and they're surprisingly common. Now a lecturer in Creative Writing, Vernon set out to understand the history, science and culture of these strange and haunting experiences. Night Terrors, her startling and vivid debut, examines the history of our relationship with bad dreams: how we've tried to make sense of and treat them, from some decidedly odd 'cures' like magical 'mare-stones', to research on how video games might help people rewrite their dreams. Along the way she explores the Salem Witch Trials and sleep paralysis, Victorian ghost stories, and soldiers' experiences of PTSD. By directly confronting her own strange and frightening nights for the first time, Vernon encourages us to think about the way troubled sleep has impacted our imaginations. Night Terrors aims to shine a light on the darkest parts of our sleeping lives, and to reassure sufferers from bad dreams that they are not alone.

Regularly priced at $4.99.Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.You're about to discover the difference between night terrors and nightmares and what you can do to prevent them.A nightmare is a dream that takes place during REM sleep. But this dream causes intense feelings of fear, invincibility, terror, distress or extreme anxiety. These feelings usually awake little babies dreaming nightmares, with total or partial remembrance of what they dreamed.A night terror is an episode of extreme fear during sleep, with no remembrance of the dream itself. The child awakes screaming and crying, without knowing what he dreamed, being unable to say what scared him so badly and having a state of horror that is likely to persist even after apparently awake. Unlike nightmares, night terrors occur during non-REM sleep (dreamless sleep.) Children wake up sweating, with a rapid pulse and frightened. They are not aware of what is around them and don't respond to attempts of calming them. The crisis may last from 10, 15 or 30 minutes.The good thing is that there are children who fall asleep immediately after the crisis ended. And most of the times children don't remember what scared them in their sleep. But in rare cases they remember some fragmentary picture of the "dream".It seems that many nightmares and night terrors occur more often in childhood. At child or at adult, these terrifying night-time experiences tend to occur in periods in which the individuals is uncertain, have emotional disorders, depression, feelings of guilt, the existence of unresolved psychological conflicts or traumatic events.These night terrors are occurring as a part of post-traumatic stress syndrome. There are a number of high emotional events that may disturb the children's sleep and may go unnoticed by their parents. Examples of these emotional events are: loss of a loved object or favorite toy, a fight with another child at play, an injustice that he/she did or someone has made to them. But the most emotional disrupt is hearing argues between parents. There are children who suffer from serious psychological problems, which are the source of these nightmares. Psychotherapy may be the solution of solving these problems, but it is extremely important to know the child's and their family history. Even thought nightmares and night terrors are considered normal events, common in development, but not mandatory, most times, they disappear in adolescence.
