Unbelievable Video Footage: Man Unable to Breathe at Night, Contacts Authorities After Unveiling Alarming Truth
“I CAN’T BREATHE!”, “I CAN’T BREATHE!” Kevin’s mind raced, frantically urging his body to wake up. His mind was alert, but his body remained unresponsive, leaving him unable to open his eyes. Panic surged through him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. “PLEASE WAKE UP!” He desperately attempted to rouse himself from this paralyzing state, but his body refused to cooperate.
At last, after what felt like an eternity, Kevin’s body began to function again. With all the strength he could muster, he lifted himself up and freed himself from the shocking sensation. Suddenly, he was wide awake, sitting upright in his bed in the middle of the night. The room was dark and eerily silent. Kevin’s eyes darted around the room, questioning what was going on and why this was happening again.
Kevin’s heart pounded in his chest. In the silence of the night, it seemed like his heartbeat was growing even louder. All he could hear was the relentless pounding, each beat more forceful than the last. Kevin scanned the room. Did he see something there in the dark or was his mind playing tricks on him? In the darkness of his bedroom, he felt as though an ominous shadow was inching closer to his bed. Fear continued to build within him, and he knew he needed to escape immediately.
Standing on the cold kitchen tiles, Kevin began to catch his breath. His forehead and body were drenched in sweat. As beads of perspiration dripped from his brow, he struggled to breathe in the dimly lit room, still oblivious to the cause of his nighttime anguish.
This marked the third time that night that he had experienced such an episode. It wasn’t an isolated incident, either; lately, this had been happening to him regularly. Each time he went to bed, he would be jolted awake, feeling as if he were suffocating. It almost seemed as though someone or something was in the room, deliberately choking him and tormenting his life.
At first, Kevin didn’t pay much attention to it. He had experienced the choking sensation a few times, but once he finally woke up, he dismissed it as a bad dream. He would chuckle at his own dramatic reaction and drift back to sleep, as if nothing had happened.
In reality, though, the situation was taking a toll on his life. The unexplained breathing issues at night didn’t just affect his sleep; they had a significant impact on his daytime life as well. Due to his lack of rest, Kevin struggled to concentrate during the day. Consequently, his work performance declined, and his social life suffered too.
Initially, his friends found humor in Kevin’s predicament and teased him when he shared his concerns. They dismissed his breathing issues, attributing them to recurring nightmares. As a joke, they even gave him a teddy bear and a night light with a note attached that read, “For your nightmares, little crybaby.”
However, as time went on, they began to notice the dark circles under his eyes and the change in Kevin’s behavior. Their friend seemed like a different person, and that wasn’t the Kevin they knew. That’s when they realized something serious was affecting him.
They were determined to help their friend return to his old self. So, that’s what they did. They began conducting research and delving into the internet for answers. However, pinpointing a cause for a problem online can be quite challenging. Where do you start? There are countless answers for all sorts of issues.
They proposed various solutions. While Kevin appreciated their efforts, deep down, he doubted any of them would help. Nevertheless, he was willing to try anything, so he accepted their assistance and attempted every possible solution they offered. He desperately wanted to feel normal again.
Kevin’s first step was to stop drinking coffee. He felt ridiculous when his good friend Jason suggested he quit. “What does coffee have to do with not being able to breathe at night?!” he exclaimed. “I’m only trying to help you!”, Jason shouted, clearly irritated and hurt that Kevin wouldn’t take his advice.
Kevin realized that his reaction stemmed from frustration, as he suspected that the cause of his breathing issues was something more sinister rather than something as simple as coffee. However, he appreciated Jason’s intention to help and didn’t want his stubbornness to create tension between them. So, he decided to give it a try. After all, what harm could it do?
Though it was a significant adjustment, Kevin quickly established a new routine for himself. Instead of starting his day with a cup of coffee, he now enjoyed a warm cup of chamomile tea. Occasionally, he would have a decaf while at work.
Despite maintaining this routine for two weeks, his condition didn’t improve. He continued to wake up in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe. The situation took a toll on him, and he started to dread going to bed at night. It even reached a point where he postponed his bedtime routine to avoid experiencing the terrifying sensation of suffocation. When he finally did lie down, he would stay awake for hours, keeping his eyes wide open and scrutinizing every movement in his room.
Kevin had always been a pragmatic person, not one to believe in outlandish ideas without evidence or logical explanation. So when he began formulating his own theory about what was happening during the night, it startled him.
This line of thinking was so unlike him, but the more he considered it, the more he began to believe in his theory. Even entertaining the idea felt like he was losing his grip on reality, so Kevin knew he couldn’t voice his thoughts out loud. Instead, he kept his theory to himself and agreed to try his friends’ well-intentioned, albeit seemingly absurd, solutions.
Then there was the blue light. One of his colleagues swore by it, claiming that his sleep quality had improved significantly after reducing his exposure to blue light. Apparently, the amount of blue light exposure during the day could contribute to his sleep issues. Kevin was skeptical but willing to give it a try.
His colleague was so convinced, and frankly, Kevin felt somewhat obligated to try it since he worked with him every day. He decided to give the same peculiar glasses his colleague wore during the day a chance. Kevin felt self-conscious while wearing them and had to constantly remind himself it was for a good cause. He felt like a completely different person and struggled to get used to the glasses.
However, according to his colleague, the glasses would help his brain interpret the cool-colored light as daylight, potentially affecting the melatonin levels in his body – the chemical responsible for making you tired. His colleague was utterly convinced that this would solve all of Kevin’s problems, so he thought, why not give it a try?
If wearing these glasses daily would stop the suffocating feeling at night, Kevin was more than willing to make them a part of his routine. He was so fed up with his situation and would do anything to get rid of this feeling. Now, it wasn’t just his breathing issues and lack of sleep that plagued him, but also the sinister thoughts occupying his mind. Kevin wanted to convince himself that he was just being paranoid and that the cause of his breathing issues could be something as trivial as a blue light filter.
However, wearing glasses with a blue light filter and making it a habit to leave his phone in the living room before going to bed didn’t help either. Kevin still woke up several times at night, drenched in sweat and feeling as if he couldn’t breathe. He was at his wit’s end. Desperately, he turned to his friends, pleading for another solution.
One of his friends mentioned that they had read on several forums about a condition called sleep apnea, which causes a person to temporarily stop breathing while asleep and then suddenly jerk awake. Most people who suffer from sleep apnea don’t notice it at night, but there are others who are aware when they wake up. Could this be it?
Kevin knew that if sleep apnea wasn’t the cause, the likelihood of his own theory becoming reality would increase. So, the next morning, he found himself in the sterile white doctor’s office, nervously recounting his story. Of course, he couldn’t share the entire narrative; that would make him sound unhinged, and he worried that he could be labeled as unstable or even sent to a psychiatric hospital. Instead, he stuck to the facts. He had breathing issues at night, which were affecting his sleep and energy levels. He wanted to be tested for sleep apnea.
Kevin’s doctor raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. He explained that it was highly unlikely for someone of Kevin’s age and physical condition to develop sleep apnea—a condition more commonly seen in men over 50 or those who were overweight. Nonetheless, the doctor agreed to refer him to a sleep specialist, just to be sure.
The sleep specialist, too, expressed doubt about the likelihood of Kevin having sleep apnea. However, not wanting to dismiss his concerns entirely, they decided to proceed with a sleep study to rule out the condition as the cause of Kevin’s distressing episodes.
With a mix of anxiety and hope, Kevin prepared for the sleep study. He was hooked up to various monitoring devices that would track his brain waves, eye movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns throughout the night. As he lay in the unfamiliar surroundings of the sleep lab, he found himself growing increasingly tense, worried about experiencing another episode while being observed.
Despite his uneasiness, Kevin eventually drifted off to sleep, his body and mind exhausted from the accumulated stress. The technicians observed him throughout the night, taking note of any irregularities or disturbances in his sleep patterns.
When the study concluded, Kevin anxiously awaited the results. To his surprise, the sleep specialist informed him that there were no signs of sleep apnea, nor any other discernible sleep disorders. Although relieved, Kevin couldn’t help but feel frustrated and disheartened, no closer to understanding the cause of his terrifying nighttime experiences.
Frustrated, Kevin left home. There was really nothing left than to seriously consider his own theory being true. The reason that he was so skeptical about his friend’s theories is because he felt there was something more sinister going on. Quitting coffee or putting on blue light glasses sounded so silly compared to the things he thought were going on. Even the sleep study felt like an impossible solution.
For all these weeks he had felt different. He knew it sounded crazy, but Kevin was convinced someone was watching him at night. Every time he felt the suffocating feeling he knew that it was something out of his control. It couldn’t be coffee, blue light or even sleep apnea. He was never the type to get scared easily but how can you explain it when you feel like someone is watching and choking you at night? The thought of going back to sleep tonight and not knowing what’s going on, gave him goosebumps.
Kevin found himself at his wits’ end, desperate for answers. He had made numerous posts on various online forums, seeking insights into the root cause of his sleep issues. However, the responses he received offered no new information, only echoing the possibilities he had already considered and dismissed.
He couldn’t live with this any longer. He had to do something about it. Kevin didn’t care anymore that his theory sounded crazy and that this was nothing like him. He needed to have proof that he was not crazy. Or even if he had proof that he was crazy, that would be even better!
Kevin was determined. He was going to find answers tonight and he was taking matters into his own hands! Kevin knew where he needed to go in order to set up his plan. He decided that he had no time to lose and went straight to the store.
Once Kevin arrived at the tech store, he saw all kinds of equipment. It dazzled him how much tech there was, and he wasn’t quite sure which one he should get. He came there to buy himself an infrared camera so he could film himself in the dark while he was sleeping…
He knew it sounded bizarre but Kevin was convinced there was something sinister going on in his room at night. He needed to either get confirmation of the dark secrets going on in his room – even if it was potentially going to traumatize him – or he needed to get the confirmation that he was indeed losing his mind and needed to seek professional help.
So there he was, in the tech store, looking for an infrared camera. There was the possibility that the issue wasn’t a visible one, but it was worth a shot. If the specialists at the hospital couldn’t figure it out, he was going to have to do his own study. Going through 8 hours of video was a small price to pay if it meant finding out what was causing his issues.
After looking at cameras by himself for a while, he decided to get help from an employee. There were so many options that he could hardly see straight. The employee was a kind elderly woman with a heartwarming smile. She looked at him and asked him what he needed the camera for.
Was he looking to film inside a birdhouse? Or perhaps explore the woods at night? Or maybe he was setting up a camera in the living room for protection? “These days, you can’t be too cautious…” she said with a slightly trembling voice. Kevin swallowed hard: “Uh, no, it’s not that,” he admitted, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
When he told her the real reason, the woman couldn’t help but chuckle. She knew just the thing for him. Kevin bit his lip and followed her, feeling increasingly foolish about his so-called clever plan. But he was determined to see it through.
With his new purchase packed up neatly in a bag, Kevin headed home. Now it was time to get answers. He resolved to set up a camera in his bedroom to monitor his sleep, hoping that the footage might provide some much-needed insight into the mysterious force that haunted his nights.
Once home, he installed the camera on his nightstand next to his bed. He plugged it in and connected it to his WiFi network so the footage it captured would be uploaded and saved directly to the cloud. To make things easier for himself, Kevin put a lighter next to the camera.
Using the lighter, if ever he woke up in the middle of the night, he could shine the light directly at the camera, creating a visual cue in the footage. This meant he wouldn’t have to watch the full eight hours of film; he could simply fast-forward until he saw the light and then review the footage from the minutes leading up to it. Within an hour, everything was set up and ready to go.
That night, Kevin couldn’t help but feel nervous. As he brushed his teeth and prepared his clothes for the following day, he thought about all the different scenarios that could occur. He climbed in bed but then got out of bed again to double-check if the camera was active. Then he switched off the light.
While he laid there in the darkness of his room, his mind started racing. He wanted to fall asleep so badly to see what’s going on but at the same time he was also scared. Scared of the suffocating feeling which he knew was going to happen.
He saw the time pass by and then finally he drifted off into a deep slumber. But this wouldn’t take long. Because unbeknownst to him, that night, an unexpected event would occur, leaving Kevin truly shaken.
It didn’t take long for Kevin to experience the suffocating sensation once more. The feeling jolted him to full alertness, yet, as always, his body remained paralyzed. He couldn’t see, and he couldn’t breathe—it was the most terrifying sensation imaginable. “Wake up, wake up!” he screamed internally, desperately urging his body to respond.
But his body remained motionless. In Kevin’s mind, a myriad of sinister scenarios played out. What if a serial killer had broken into his apartment and was subjecting him to a slow, traumatizing death? Or worse yet, could it be a ghost or some other supernatural entity? The only thought that provided him with some comfort was the knowledge that at least he had captured the ordeal on video. However, that consolation would only hold true if he survived long enough to review the footage…
Finally, he woke up and bolted upright in bed. Sweat dripped off his forehead, and his heart pounded in his chest. “I’m okay, I’m okay,” he trembled. He looked at his hands, and they were shaking. His alarm clock read 5:30 in the morning. Then, he glanced at the video camera, and his heart skipped a beat. The camera had recorded everything!
Before grabbing the camera, he turned on the lights. Everything seemed less scary when the room was illuminated. He scanned the room with his eyes to ensure no one was there. “Okay, I’m safe.” Kevin took a deep breath. Was he finally about to discover the cause of his breathing issues?
Kevin tried to mentally prepare himself for what he was about to see, but his nerves were overwhelming him. His heart pounded so loudly that he had to take a few deep breaths to regain control. Then he grabbed the camera and began watching the footage.
As he viewed the recording, Kevin realized he hadn’t used the lighter. He was so consumed with panic the moment he couldn’t breathe that he completely forgot to do so. In his mind, he was supposed to sleep through the night and use the lighter every time he struggled to breathe. But in reality, the one time he experienced it was already too much for him to handle, and he needed to know the cause immediately. However, this meant that he had to review the entire tape.
Kevin decided to skip a few times as he knew that probably nothing really happened in the beginning of the tape. The first 2 hours, he saw himself lying wide awake in his bed. Then he saw himself slowly falling asleep and drifting into a deep sleep.
The closer Kevin came to the terrifying moment, the more nervous he got. With trembling fingers he kept fastforwarding the tape. But then something happened. Did he really see that? While he was in a very deep sleep, he saw some kind of eerie shadow that seemed to come alive, creeping toward him with a malicious intent. As the figure loomed closer, Kevin’s heart raced. Out of some sort of panic reflex, he threw the camera on his coach. He couldn’t watch this all by himself. Who knew what would happen next? Fearing for his life, he immediately called the police.
When the police arrived at Kevin’s home, they were skeptical, but agreed to review the footage. It made quite an impact on Kevin. All these policemen in his house. With trembling fingers he grabbed his camera and took a step back when he pressed play, as if something would come out of the camera.
Together, they watched as the shadow slithered across the room, inching closer and closer to Kevin’s bed. The policemen sat there in complete silence, nervously waiting for what happened next. But then, as they continued watching, the truth became apparent.
The ‘sinister force’ terrorizing Kevin was none other than his own pet cat, Whiskers. Each night, the mischievous feline had been climbing onto Kevin’s bed and settling down on his face, oblivious to the panic and terror it caused.
Relief and embarrassment washed over Kevin as the officers shared a chuckle at his expense. He really thought it was some sort of ghost or something. In the end, the seemingly terrifying nocturnal strangler was just a case of feline affection gone awry.
It became evident in the video how Kevin’s furry companion inched closer and closer to him, ultimately choosing to rest on his face. Naturally, breathing became difficult for Kevin, as his cat unknowingly obstructed his nose, preventing the airflow.
For Kevin, it was comforting and cozy to drift off to sleep with his little buddy nearby. The cat had always been quite affectionate, but this endearing quality had seemingly given rise to an undesirable habit. Kevin pondered his feline friend’s intentions. Was it simply trying to get closer to him for companionship?
Or was Kevin snoring so loudly that the cat was attempting to muffle the noise? It seemed that they were both inadvertently disrupting each other’s sleep. Alternatively, could the cat harbor sinister intentions? Regardless, Kevin decided to put an end to their sleepovers, relegating his cat to the living room at bedtime.
This plan, however, did not work out as expected…
Separated from each other, things went awry from the beginning. Before Kevin could even fully close the door, his beloved cat would start caterwauling. The poor animal seemed to suffer from attachment issues, as evidenced by the panic in its meows.
Kevin faced a significant dilemma. Would he sacrifice his sleep by enduring oxygen deprivation due to a cuddly cat or allow the cat’s cries from the living room to ruin his rest? Neither option seemed appealing. He struggled to find a better solution and ultimately decided to consult a cat behavior specialist.
The specialist was able to analyze the situation and propose a solution with just one phone call. As Kevin had suspected, his cat was experiencing separation anxiety. To alleviate this fear, the cat would snuggle as close as possible to Kevin and cry out whenever he was out of sight.
The specialist recommended getting a second cat. Having a feline companion could help Kevins’ cat feel less lonely and potentially resolve the other issues. Kevin liked the idea and was excited about the prospect of owning two cats.
He then set out to find a friend for his current cat…
At the local animal shelter, numerous abandoned cats eagerly awaited adoption. It didn’t take long for Kevin to fall in love with an older tabby cat, whose calm yet sociable demeanor would suit both Kevin and his existing cat.
Upon bringing the tabby home, it quickly settled in, and the two cats got along from the start. Kevin was relieved, but he wondered how the nighttime would unfold.
Ever since adopting the second cat, Kevins’ nights have been peaceful. He sleeps soundly, with no breathing difficulties, and his mood, concentration, and overall quality of life have significantly improved. He never would have guessed that this would be the solution to his sleep troubles.
Kevin decided to share his discovery with the online community. He posted pictures of the nighttime footage on Twitter, and the tweet quickly went viral. To his surprise, other cat owners shared similar stories.
