I woke up in the middle of the night only to realize that I wasn’t alone. First I felt it was there. ‘It’ is what I’ve come to call the Uninvited Guest. It was like image of a man standing across the room. It was silent, transparent and gave off a sense of extreme cold. Though it had no eyes I felt I locked gazes with it for a second. It was enough to scare me under the covers. When I looked up from the covers the shadow was standing right over me. I was overwhelmed with fear and passed out. Over the next two years I had time to grow and mature and dismiss this eventas a dream or side effect of illness. Unfortunately it happened again. My
bed was on the other side of the room. I had a habit of sleeping with my
head at the foot of the bed. The Uninvited Guest appeared just behind my
head on the other side of the television I kept at the foot of the bed. I
remembered how I acted last time. Okay! This time I decided I would sit up
and turn the lights on and have a good laugh at my own feverish imagination.
As I started to sit up I felt the most horrible force possible right on my
chest pushing me down. I started to worry that I was sick and started to
feel sick. After giving one last effort to sit up, the force slammed me down
into me bed with such speed I past out from the terror of the experience.
I woke up moments later to find it was still there and I only fainted again.
The fainted seemed just as abnormal and evil as the creature appearing near
me. I’m afraid the thing will come back to visit me again. That’s why I’m
writing this to find if anyone else has gone through this unusual experience
and if so what they did to stop it. The entire thing bothered me so much I
decided against accepting the house from my mother. It is an old 200 year
old house with a lot of history and several owners. I sometimes wonder if
the shadow is some thing from the house’s past but I worry more that the
creature that met me twice is more personal.
