It's happened to me twice, but luckily I knew enough about it before hand that it wasn't all that scary.
Anyway, I didn't see or hear anything weird either time, which was a huge relief, but I was afraid the whole time that I might start hallucinating, which freaked me out a bit. Both times I "defeated" sleep paralysis I guess, since it never progressed. I willed myself to speak, just to get any sound at all out of my throat. The second I got a tiny moan the paralysis broke.
There was this other time as a kid, I was sleeping on our pull-out couch, and I woke up in the middle of the night unable to move. I heard footsteps in the hallway, and I heard someone flush a toilet. I was scared out of my mind, but I figured it was just a dream. Years later I realized that it could have been sleep paralysis coupled with some hallucinations, but since I had nightmares where I couldn't move very often as a kid, I dismissed it. Still could have been SP, I guess...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
