It's thought that this old painting is a representation of Sleep Paralysis. I wondered what the horse (Night-Mare) represents, because I've definitely never seen a horse in an SP episode and found this:"Old Hag Syndrome" sometimes referred to as "Night Hag" is another commonly used term for SP among many different cultures mainly in the western world. The term Old Hag is probably derived from a couple of sources, one being the word for -of course, we know this already, being derived from the old English term meaning "demon or incubus (an incubus is believed to be a demon that visits during the night)."Other sources as listed by Dr. J. A. Cheyne, University of Waterloo Psych. Dept include German mar/mare, nachtmahr, Hexendrücken (witch pressing), Alpdruck (efl pressure), Czech muera, Polish zmora, Russian Kikimora, French cauchmar (trampling ogre), Greek ephialtes (one who leaps upon) and mora (the night "mare" or monster, ogre, spirit, etc.), Roman incubus (one who presses or crushes) ge, (evil spirit or the night-mare--also hegge, haegtesse, haehtisse, haegte); Old Norse mara, Old Irish mar/more.http://www.castleofspirits.com/sleepparalysis.html

Tons more stuff happen during sleep paralysis than old hags. Like rape monkeys, babies,and rope with eyes. My friend had a lapse of sleep paralysis while she was tlking to me over Kik. When she came back from it she said it was the scariest thing ever.
