It's probably feedback coming from yourself and nothing external, it just appears that way. It's sometimes called "the guardian of the threshold", but it's basically a projection of your fear or subconscious expectations. I think another term is "old hag syndrome" - people would experience and old hag or something ghastly sitting on their chest, weighing them down. Whatever you imagine it to be, it can become.

Can't say for sure, but that's my guess.
