Jessica alba says she was attacked by a ghost when she was 17. The star of The Eye claims she was visited by an otherworldly being, and was so terrified afterwards she refused to stay in her house. Alba, 26, recalled: "I had no idea what it was. I felt this pressure and I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't do anything. "Something definitely took the covers off me and I definitely couldn't get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents' room and I don't think I spent many nights in that house ever again! "There was definitely something in my parents' old house - I don't know what it was. I can't really explain it. But they got it blessed and they burned sage and stuff since then." Alba - who is expecting her first child with fiance Cash Warren - also revealed the pregnancy has been playing havoc with her hormones. "I think I've already thrown Cash out of the house twice since I've been pregnant," she said. "He's like, 'Are you just pregnant? I hope you're just pregnant and acting crazy,' and I'm like, 'It has nothing to do with that!' "And then we cry and we hug and he's like, 'You're pregnant, what do you want?' Little things get me so mad.

You get so emotional when you're pregnant, and so irrational. It's totally dumb."

bad drugs causing her to have night terrors

LOL........ Somethings going on with her. I don't think pregnancy is the cause.

Drugs

That would do it.

I have a possible alternative theory. It sounds to me that she might have experienced sleep paralysis. I've experienced it many times myself (at least monthly since I was 17, 4 years before I ever tried any types of drugs) Often a person, who is consciously awake but bodily asleep (akin to a type of waking dream or maybe trance), experiences a often malevolent presence and pressure on their chest (known as a hag attack) and sometimes experiences auditory, visual, and even tactile halluciations. I myself have experienced understandable things spoken to me (often violent and threatening), vague whisperings, the feeling of something crawling up my body toward my head, I've even seen the silouette of a man surrounded by a brillant light. Many people find these experiences terrifying (in fact these are the origin of the word Nightmare, Mara means demon, or incubus, in old norse. I personally find them interesting, and am always excited when I get to experience a new one (expect for the thing crawling up my body example, that was bloody horrifying). These experiences are the whole reason I now study the occult and the paranormal. Just my two cents.
