This is something that happens all the time, but is
rarely discussed. Thanks to the nairaland, though,
people who observe unusual occurrences, like
waking up with three scratches somewhere on their
bodies, are starting to talk to each other. And there
are a lot of us, and we know the same thing is
happening to all of us. When I say it like that, it
sounds crazy, right? Sure it does. It sounds crazy to
me, even me that's writing about this phenomenon
of unexplainable scratches and bruises, it appears
on my body sometimes when i wake up in the
morning. "What does it mean?" "Why is it
happening?" "Who else is it happening to?" "Am I
crazy, or is this real?" "What can I do to stop this?"

aldotun:

I'd like you to consider SLEEPWALKING as a cause of the MYSTERY MARKS, rather than SLEEP PARALYSIS. Whereas sleep paralysis keeps you stuck in a position usually, Sleepwalkers arise from the slow wave sleep stage in a state of low consciousness and perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. These activities can be as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to the bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving,violent gestures, grabbing at hallucinated objects,or even homicide.. --- Source:wikipedia

I've personally experienced sleepwalking. I attended a boarding school during my secondary school years. Our dormitory was a large room with beds arranged beside cupboards in three files. In my fifth year there (SS2), I'd wake up and walk round the hostel, moving cupboards and some beds around. This cause quite a scare in the hostel.. see as people start to dey pray for my deliverance, lol...

Truth is, in the mornings, it was difficult to recollect doing any of this. I remember getting so pissed off the first time it happened, I got into an argument with my bunkmate for moving my cupboard.

Whatever that person was experiencing could be similar to this. I'd advise you set some recording device (audio or video) to record him/her while sleeping (privacy issues dey your hand o). Those marks/scars could very well be self-inflicted.

dorox:
One small contribution to the excellent comment made by muskeeto on the cause of Mystery Mark is insect bites. Most people don't wake up when stung or bitten by insects, they just reflexively scratch the irritated area with their nails until it bleeds.

Mostly from family members or envious witch neighbour!

Pray before going to bed and make sure your bed does not have sand or other particles on it.

taurus25:


its called sleep paralysis........it can be very uncomfortable but realy doesnt have any effect

it also can be induced (forced) sometimes using certain methods. so calm down brother no witch is pressing u

ZKOSOSO:
Witchcraft Attack. Don't even doubt this cos I know this like back of my palms.
Solution: release the power in the Blood of Jesus for cover. Anoint your head (forehead) with oil before u sleep. Of course u pray!

Mostly from family members or envious witch neighbour!

God2man:

It is an incomplete deliverance you must persist in your walk with God so that it can be perfected .

God2man:

You must continue to pray. The more you pray, the more you discover, the more you recover what has been stolen from you. The more the anointing of God Come upon your life, the more breakthrough you experience, you move to another level where witches and wizards will run when they hear your name, not even your appearance.
God bless you. Happy Sunday. God2man

naijathings:

you use hard sponge to bath .. Yes or No ?

lakesidepapa:

I don't even use sponge

naijathings:


then how do you scrub your body when having your bath ? what do you expect when you use your fingers to scrub your body ?

buy a big soft sponge and scrub your body gently when having your bath and see if the scratches still come up

nnachukz:
Start greeting that old woman you have not been greeting very well. Then pray before going to bed. It is strange but strange things happen always.

lakesidepapa:


Oga abeg stop lawyer me.. Na today I no dey use sponge
