This occurrence happened several years ago in my home when I was around the age of 14-15. Now, I just want it to be known that I've never experienced anything like this in my life before or since. It was pretty late into the night and I was dog tired from a busy day, and was aching for some shuteye. I ended up falling asleep on the living room sofa that night... nothing to it. I'd slept on the sofas in our living room then a countless number of times, so this wasn't too unusual of me. The difference this time, however, was that I choose the sofa at the far end of my living room.. the lone one, isolated from the other 2 sofas which were in close proximity to each other on the opposite side of room.
Well moving on, I must've been asleep for likely not more than an hour (probably around 35-50 minutes, if I could take a guess) before I ended up awakening. *You know how sometimes you end up waking in the middle of night when you're parched, ready for a drink of water? If my memory serves my right, that was the case this time. Now fully awake atop the sofa trying to gather myself, I'd been laying still there for a bit.. I suddenly, and I mean just abruptly, felt this incredible sucking force take hold of my entire body. So strong that I couldn't brake free of its grasp one bit.. as it was sucking me more towards the innards of the sofa. It felt like some strong magnetic force.. if I could find a way to describe the sensation. It wasn't hurting me, wasn't causing me pain, but was sure giving me a slight panic because of its unrelenting grip of my body. I thought this was some demonic force or something messing with me, and so I prayed hard and aloud all during that time. Miraculously-like, that thing's grip was weakening more and more as I continued on in prayer. Eventually it let me go completely. boy was I shook lol. I even awoken my parents and told 'em what occurred, explained the whole thing.
All that time while explaining to my Folks, I was shivering/shaking/jolting, my whole body was shivering uncontrollably. I guess outta pure fear and shock, not too sure. The shaking eventually subsided, but it took about an hour or so. I still maintain that the ridiculously strong force that was sucking me in during that 25-30 seconds of terror was something malicious, I just know it down to my bones. Ever since that day, I made sure to NEVER sleep on that sofa again haha. It never happened again, thankfully. any of y'all's thoughts regarding this would be much appreciated.
