I'm very sorry you have had this experence! I have had it on several occasions and they are terrifying. They usually involve full-body paralysis &
noises like breathing, humming, buzzing, or bells. Sometimes OBEs are involved, sometimes you're touched by something, sometimes your bed shakes.
There are three general theories why this happens:
1) From the Medical Establishment: it's simple sleep paralysis, a case of your brain accidently waking up before your body does, producing all-over
body numbness.
2) From the New Age/Occult: It's a "night-hag," a spirit, a ghost, an Entity (w/a capital "E")
3) From the UFOlogists: It's an alien encounter
I tend to go w/#2 with maybe a dash of #3.
One way to deal with this is as Pisky mentioned: turn to your god or goddess for assistance--or if you don't believe in a "god," turn to your
Higher Self (which is very powerful). Before you go to bed, picture youself with a protecting white light surrounding your body. Ask your deity for
protection. Kindly inform this Entity that if it's malevolent, you've got protection and aren't going to let yourself be attacked anymore--your
will is stronger than this phantom! And if this Entity is not evil and has some sort of message for you (like if it's a ghost and needs to
communicate) to do so by a straightforward dream and not by this paralysis method because it's disturbing you.
You might also want to cleanse your house, especially the spot with the weird odor and your bedroom. That will involve a thorough cleaning, perhaps a
white candle & some incense, the ringing of a bell (those buggers hate that sound), and some sprinkling of salt (they hate that too).
I had an odor once in my house too, it smelt of brimstone and the wall it was coming from was very hot (I know, this is really creepy).
The first time this happened to me about 6 years ago, I didn't do anything about it but get freaked out, and it happened multiple times. The most
recent time this happened, 11/03, I pulled out all stops and did the white light thing, the ritual cleansing thing, etc. -- and it didn't come
back.
Why do these Entities do this? Emotional vulnerability as the result of a recent trauma (which seems to be what happened to you) is one reason. Six
years ago, it was because me and my friend were doin' the Ouija. In November, it was because of an illness & subsequent emotional trauma.
Hope this helps.
