Now, I am totally skeptical of this sort of thing (though definitely less than I used to be). And I already know a bit about what science has to say regarding the topic of sleep paralysis. But this was very, very strange.
Anyways, I wake up last night in my hotel room to turn the AC off at 5 am.
I go back to sleep
at 6 am I hear a strange sound, like someone says "Ritchadooo!" in a funny voice.
I open my eyes and look in front of me and I see some creepy looking ghost/shrouded figure hovering over in front of me, and it slowly starts reaching down and grabs my ankle(I saw it, but didn't feel it)
it then straightens back up. meanwhile im like "woah, what is that, ok calm down, breathe, breathe, breathe, be calm" but I totally kind of started hyperventilating lol.
anyways, it goes like it's going to reach back down again but then I am not sure what happened, and suddenly I am awake.
and the whole room feels freezing ass cold, and I was soooo cold, even though I was under the sheets and blankets. I never get cold while I am sleeping, normally. Even when just under like 1 sheet. Also that room was like, seriously weirdly cold. I had to get up and turn the heater on and leave it on for like 45 minutes, just to warm it up a reasonable temperature. Then I went back to bed.
I have had sleep paralysis happen to me before, but not in a very long time. And I have always woken up tired and confused, but this time I awoke with my mind very clearly and I was very alert.
And my sleeping habits are very patternized, 7-8 hours every night at the same times.
That morning I got up and cried for a while, wasn't even sure why.

Kinda sounds a 1408 moment. Are you sure you didn't dream it?

Yeah I think that was just a natural dream/sleep_paralysis. In fact, I think getting scared by something while being paralyzed like that is common, but it's never happened to me. I think your mind was exaggerating how cold it was because of the circumstances, but you also may have simply overdid it with the AC.

I don't know what a 1408 moment is.
Did I dream it?
I know the difference between dreaming and being fully awake, and this was neither.

Reminds me of the lucid dream I had where I swear I thought I was getting attacked by a ghost. In the dream I *woke up* to the sight of a broom floating in mid air. It kept hitting me like someone was swinging it at me and I was scared shitless. Then I woke up *for real* to the sound of myself screaming rasply.
Fucking most terrifying experience of my life. It took me like an hour before I got the courage to get out of bed, and this was in the morning. I called my friend just so I'd have someoen to talk to as I went downstairs to the closet where we keep our broom/mop. AND IT WASN'T THERE. I was about to have a heart attack for a moment before I remembered my mom had been cleaning the bathroom upstairs last night with it, and it was still there.

Yeah, I would think that too.. but normally I am sweaty when I wake up from sleeping, even if it is cold in the room I am sleeping in. And I was seriously like, wrapped up very tight, but my body was like freezing cold and bone dry.
I am a pretty levelheaded guy... I can't say for sure that my mind wasn't playing tricks on me because it was such a strange experience, but seriously I am pretty good about not exaggerating stuff like this.
and I turned the AC off an hour before I re-awoke, and the room didn't seem that cold then and it wasn't that cold outside.

Ah, 1408 is a movie with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. It's pretty trippy and quite entertaining.

1408 is the cell number of the ghost that was murdered... and came back to haunt YOU travis, YOU!!! great grandson of the man who murdered him!!
his name was Ritchadoo

Or you could try finding out the history of the room you were given rent to(not from the hotel management, of course). 
|
Wait so... you fell asleep, something happened, and then you woke up?
I think I know the answer.
|
i think you witnessed your soul trying to leave your body
maybe u were dieing?
i'd be really concerned with this
|
Fuck i got arnd 7 times sleep paralysis happen to me this year. Now its not as scary. But there was this time i heard a voice, it said " YOU MAY DIE NOW" , like wtf? And ur eyes are open but ur body cant move. I hate it when it happens. Usually i feel extremely comfortable and light, and my head hurts before i sleep and the sleep paralysis will happen when i sleep. And i always see this human-shaped silloute, like a shadow. It always happens at around 3 am, and i always awoken when it happens.
