Sleep paralysis is a condition characterized by temporary paralysis of the body during the transition between wakefulness and sleep. This can occur during the onset of sleep (hypnagogic) or upon waking (hypnopompic). During an episode of sleep paralysis, an individual may experience vivid and often disturbing hallucinations. These hallucinations can include visual, auditory, and tactile sensations, as well as a sense of impending doom. The San Bernardino Mountains contain a lot of wilderness regions which saw substantial activity about 100 years ago. Here, miners and loggers worked to bring materials down to the Los Angeles basin. But, like most industries of that time, there was a high profit motive, and workers lives were not as important as they were now.

Brook, Vincent (2003). Something Ain't Kosher Here: The Rise of the "Jewish" Sitcom. Rutgers University Press. pp. 237–40. ISBN 978-0-8135-3211-0. I have to say up front that I was skeptical when I learned that the author of this book is a paranormal investigator. I believe that dabbling in the paranormal is a dangerous and ill-advised pursuit, and I don't appreciate the way that old asylums have been turned into haunted houses and ghost-hunting playgrounds. Upon arrival in September 1904, Derry was bathed and set in her own bed for the first time in 44 years. Though unable to see or communicate, Derry seemed soothed by the delicate hand of care. In the first season of Rhoda, Mary Tyler Moore made four guest appearances as Mary Richards to help with the transition of Rhoda moving from Minneapolis to New York City, getting married, and establishing her new life. The episodes Moore appeared in were: the premiere episode "Joe"; the sixth installment "Pop Goes The Question"; the two-part hour- long episode "Rhoda's Wedding" – which also featured other characters from The Mary Tyler Moore Show such as Lou Grant (Edward Asner), Murray Slaughter (Gavin MacLeod), Georgette Franklin (Georgia Engel), and Phyllis Lindstrom (Cloris Leachman) – and the season finale "Along Comes Mary". During the second season, Moore made no appearances on Rhoda, but Valerie Harper and David Groh were briefly featured as Rhoda and Joe Gerard on The Mary Tyler Moore Show's eleventh installment of the sixth season "Mary Richards Falls in Love". Sylvia Shults' 44 Years in Darkness: A True Story of Madness, Tragedy, and Shattered Love tells the story of Rhoda Derry, one of the greatest tragedies of mental health care in Illinois. Rhoda was the youngest of the Derry family and was courted by Charles Phenix, the son of a prosperous farming family, for about two years. While Charles is set on marrying Rhoda, his mother interferes, forcing them to break up and placing a curse on Rhoda in the process. Although the curse itself was falsified, the effects it had on Rhoda were anything but.

Rhoda suffered a mental breakdown after being “cursed” by the mother of the boy she was engaged to marry. Committed to the almshouse for violent insanity, she was eventually rescued by Dr. George A. Zeller. She was transferred to the Peoria State Hospital in Bartonville, Illinois, where she spent the remainder of her days in peace and comfort. Rhoda died in 1906, but her spirit seems to live on … For whatever reason, the relationship with Charles Phenix ended. Also, for whatever reason, Rhoda Derry went mad. Treatment worse than the disease That witchcraft angle was reported without attribution in multiple newspaper accounts. The Quincy Weekly Herald blared the headline: “Witches Stole Rhody’s Reason: The Weird Life Story of Unfortunate Rhoda Derry.” A romance gone wrong Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson, went missing in the Red Oak Mountain area of southeast Oklahoma in October 2009. Over 100 people were enlisted to search for the Jamison family, but no sign of them was found until November 2013, when the skeletal remains of two adults and a child were found in the woods, face down and side-by-side, roughly three miles from where their vehicle had been abandoned. It wasn’t until July 2014 that these remains were positively identified as the Jamison family, though a cause of death was never determined.

Days after the curse, Derry supposedly told her family that she had spotted Satan lurking in physical form — “something like a wild beast, which she believed was the ‘old scratch.’” Later, while visiting a sister, Derry “said she could see Mrs. Phenix in the corner and that she believed that the old woman would torment her as long as she lived and that her pleasure was forever done.” Up over the mountains" to me is coming up out of Harpers Ferry - Loudoun County, VA area into SW Pennsylvania. Ron and I have driven it multiple times -- and there ARE the Allegheny mountains you need to cross. I have several old newspaper articles that clearly state...."The Derry's came from Loudoun County, VA" For years she lived in a basket of straw cared for solely by other feeble-minded patients,” Zeller wrote. “During this time her limbs became drawn up until her knees almost touched her chin. There they remained day after day and week after week until the muscles became atrophied. It was impossible for her to move either her legs or her hips. Rhoda was a prepossessing creature and however tragic her life, she unknowingly played a central role in changing the lives of the mentally disabled in Illinois and much of the U.S. at the beginning of the 20th century. Her life, after all, did have purpose. In my view, Aunt Rhoda will forever remain a very special kind of hero. Her spirit will be forever indelible upon my mind and upon my heart.
