	{{blockref\|A hag, or "the Old Hag"~~, was a [[nightmare]] spirit in English and anglophone North American folklore~~. This variety of hag is essentially identical to the [[Old English]] ''mæra''—a being with roots in ancient Germanic superstition, and closely related to the Scandinavian ''[[mara (folklore)\|mara]]''. According to folklore, the Old Hag sat on a sleeper's chest and sent [[nightmare]]s to him or her. When the subject awoke, he or she would be unable to breathe or even move for a short period of time. ~~In the Swedish film [[Marianne (2011 film)\|''Marianne'']], the main character suffers from these nightmares~~. ~~This state is now called [[sleep paralysis]], but in the old belief~~ the subject had been "hagridden".<ref>Ernsting, Michele (2004) "[https://web.archive.org/web/20041126201638/http://www2.rnw.nl/rnw/en/features/cultureandhistory/041119vh Hags and nightmares: sleep paralysis and the midnight terrors]" Radio Netherlands</ref> It is still frequently discussed as if it were a [[paranormal]] state.<ref>[http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa112000a.htm The "Old Hag" Syndrome] from About: Paranormal Phenomena</ref>		{{blockref\|A hag, or "the Old Hag"...
