Sleep paralysis

Last night I had multiple episodes of what I interpreted as sleep paralysis. When I was a kid I had a really scary one while sleeping on a couch in the living room. I felt like I was hovering over my body looking down at it. I can see my legs and arms but couldn't move them. There was a chill moving down my spine and my whole body and I was unable to move. I interpreted it as a form of outer body experience at the time. right now Im not sure but all I know is it was terrifying. I was trying to scream but couldn't. I tried to roll myself out of bed to wake myself up last night. I felt a strange presence of ghosts who were watching me and keeping me in a state of paralysis. I would eventually wake up and still be in the same room. Id go back to bed and have the same experience. this happened around 8 times last night.
