Hanon-Tramp

The name given by the Germans to a certain kind of nightmare (q.v.). This particular nightmare takes the form of a demon, which suffocates people during sleep. It is believed by the French peasantry that this is "the destruction that wasteth at noon-day," as it is supposed that people are most exposed to its attacks at that time Its method of suffocation is to press on the breast and thus impede the action of the lungs.

Hansen, Mr., of Copenhagen: (See Telepathy.)
