Description
"The succubus is a demon from legend that supposedly preys on mortal men while he sleeps; a sexual vampire of sorts. The actual name has its origins from late Latin- succuba meaning prostitute, which in turn comes from medieval Latin sub cubaire meaning 'that which lies beneath'. The male version is the incubus (from Latin- 'that which lies above'). There are some sources who claim that the succubus and the incubus are one and the same creature who can change form at will to prey on mortals.
In medieval times, the succubus was seen as a fearsome creature who killed her victims by drinking their breath. This is interesting in that, at the time, the breath was seen as a part of the person's spirit, and in doing so, the succubus was thought to be stealing the victim's soul."

Most people would probably recognize Henry Fuseli's painting "The Nightmare" which depicts an incubus sitting on the chest of a sleeping woman. Incubi/Succubi (plural?) were often used to explain the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, which is a fear I have had ever since I experienced it years ago. For anyone that hasn't experienced it, it is when you are awake and aware in your sleep but you are paralyzed because your body is still sleeping. In other words, you are awake but you cannot move. Because you are still in somewhat of a dream state, people who experience sleep paralysis often have auditory or visual hallucinations as well... in my case I heard squishy footsteps coming towards my bed, but I couldn't move. I will never forget how much that totally freaked me out, so I have had a bit of a fascination with these creatures ever since.
