Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This experience happened a few years ago and I have tried to forget it, but it will never escape me. I have always been very intrigued with the paranormal. As a child I was fascinated with old graveyards, old houses, old books, old people, etc. I am from New England, Connecticut. I guess one could say that I have an old soul.

Over the years I had purchased many books from James Van Praagh, John Edwards, Dr. Brian Weiss, books on the possibility of reincarnation. Anyway I had bought an audio tape by John Edwards – I believe it was titled: Understanding your Angels and Meeting your Guides. I listened to the audio and went over and over what I had learned from it. Basically, how to get your guardian angels to come to you in your dreams – bringing you peace… something to that effect.

I awoke around 2 a.m. extremely nauseous and crippled, with the most deafening buzzing sounds – like electricity buzzing crazily. I could not move, nor speak. My husband lie next to me unaware of what I was experiencing. I tried to move and I had the feeling as if I were pinned down, or like I was weighted down. I don’t know what possessed me to this, but with all my might, I forced myself to roll off and out of my bed onto the floor! I have goosebumps all over my body as I write this. I rolled over and over and over, out of the bedroom and into my kitchen (which was no short distance), all the while unable to unpin my arms, legs, or speak. The buzzing electricity sound was louder now.

I was still lying in this pinned position, against the refrigerator. At this time, I managed to free my hand and bend slightly at the elbow, allowing me to reach up and grab the lower handle of the refrigerator. As I performed this major feat, I looked to my right towards the windows in the dining room, and there I saw two or three little child-like faces looking in at me (you should see the hair on my arms standing up now!). I was in terror, still paralyzed and mustered enough of my own energy to crawl on my belly or shimmy, all the way back to my bedroom, where I frantically yanked at the bed covering, trying to get my husband’s attention. I could not speak.

My husband who is a light sleeper, groggily awoke and said, “what the heck are you doing on the floor?”  He picked me up and put me back into the bed. I closed my eyes so tightly and tears streamed down my face and I prayed! My heart was pounding so hard and fast I thought it would burst from my chest.

The next morning I went to the bookstore where I had purchased the audio tape and shared with the owner my experience. Her hair on her arms stood straight up and she told me that I had an “encounter”. She told me to pray and tell “them” that I am afraid and not ready to “see” them. Please do not show yourselves again. I did that and do that frequently.

I thought I was losing it, but feel comforted to read that I am not the only one who has experienced something like this. Thank you.
