The Hant is a southern superstition, a "haunting" by a spirit or a witch that comes in the night as one falls asleep. Sometimes scientifically referred to as Sleep Paralysis, the Hant is none the less a mysterious phenomena that only few people experience. Most victims report extreme terror, vivid auditory and visual hallucinations, and the sense of an evil presence lingering in the room as one sleeps. The following images reflect the Hant visits the artist has experienced for herself, and recreates the visual nightmare as it was first encountered.
