When Old Hags Attack

When Old Hags Attack

April 18, 2013 Jacob Rice Comments 0 Comment

“Old Hag Syndrome” has been around since the Middle Ages. It was thought that witches, or hags, would sit on a person’s chest at night and cause exhaustion, leaving you very fatigued the next day.

Old Hag Attack Symptoms

Have you been attacked by a hag? If so, you may have experienced these symptoms.

They include:

  • Suffocation
  • Paralysis
  • Repulsive smells
  • Ghostly footsteps
  • Ghostly sounds
  • Shadowy movements
  • Indigestion

Nowadays, doctors blame the phenomena on night terrors, narcolepsy and repressed sexual tension. However, they can’t really explain why it repeatedly happens to some people. This is also unique because an attack can happen during the day. People of faith use religious objects near their bed to ward off old hags. Interestingly, atheists and agnostics rarely suffer from the syndrome.

Note: Please don’t point these attacks towards Wiccans. This isn’t the case at all. Wiccans are not the witches noted in this post. They wouldn’t attack someone with magic.
