Anyone who has followed the amazing rags to riches story of Bruce
Lee's incredible journey from a poor and troubled childhood through to
his meteoric rise to fame in the 60's and 70's martial arts action
movies will be aware of the mysterious legend surrounding him of his
battles with a demonic entity.
For those of you unfamiliar with
the circumstances surrounding this I shall try to elaborate and pick
through the many bizarre myths and wild stories that have been generated
over the years since his untimely death in 1973.
It has been
suggested by some that there was a curse upon the Lee family and that
Bruce and his father both inherited it and that to hide Bruce from the
demon his father adopted the Chinese custom of giving him a girls name
Léi Saifung Pinyin: Li Xìfèng, which literally meant "small phoenix".
Many people believe that it was an evil spirit that was ultimately
responsible for Lee's death on the 20th July 1973.
Of course, all
of this has been mythologized over the years not least by the 1993 film
'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story' which was supposed to chart the actors
rise to fame and eventual death. The film grossly exaggerates many
elements of Lee's life and towards the end depicts Lee in an actual
martial arts battle with an armored samurai demon.
But is there
any truth in fact to the story of Lees Demons? I believe so . . . but
not in the way you would think and not in the literal sense of demonic
haunting.
Sleep Paralysis is a phenomenon experienced by millions
of people all over the world and sufferers typically report the same
symptoms; they awaken to find themselves completely paralyzed from head
to toe and often experience unpleasant symptoms such as vivid
hallucinations of old hags or more commonly; dark shadowy figures.
In
his 1996 book 'Bruce Lee; Fighting Spirit' Bruce Thomas includes a
chapter called 'The Shadow' which includes statements made by Bruce's
family and friends telling of his battles with a black shadowy figure in
his sleep which held him down - a typical symptom of Sleep Paralysis.
