My Friend? My Guardian?

May 11, 2008

Hello, my name is Nix (an alias, by the way). I’ve never been on this website before so I will refrain from using my real name. I just turned eighteen recently and I’ve begun my journey into finding my spiritual place in the world. I’ve always been able to see things, feel things, and just plain know things. So, the calmness to my story my seem a little odd. But it happened, and I want to let it out.

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. At first I couldn’t get an idea out of my head, so I read a book. It was getting late and I needed to get up early, so I put the book down and found that there were too many lights on in the room, so I plugged in my fish tank and turned off the rest of my lights.

My fish have been dead for a few weeks and I buried them already. I haven’t gotten new fish, but when I had them, I would frequently see something kneeling on the floor in front of my fish tank, as if watching them. So, when I turned on the tank light and laid down, I got comfortable and closed my eyes. Then for no reason at all, I had to look over there, and I saw something go from my closet to right in front of the tank. It was tan in color with a little white and a little grey. Instead of feeling scared, I felt guilty because I didn’t have any fish for it to look at.

My guilt made me realize that I needed to go to the bathroom. So I went, and my dog (a sheltie) jumped off my bed (which is a very tall queen sized monster) and ran out of the room. It was hot in my room and I had the fan on. Apparently that wasn’t enough for her. So I went to the bathroom, came back, climbed back into bed without my beloved dog, and tried to sleep. My eyes popped open again and I could see a blue light above my fish tank. My window was open. I have black curtains and my blinds are ALWAYS closed. There was no reason for the night sky to be shining through any type of crack. So, I got up, closed the curtain and my blinds, then tried to sleep, again.

The problem was that my head wouldn’t shut up. I would toss and turn. I’d look around my room and catch the shadow of a random figure at the end of my bed, near the closet, and even right next to me by the door to my room. So, I decided I’d go get some music. I got my music out and it would crackle and spit at me (its an MP3 player) at random times,… and every time I tried to close my eyes, I’d get the feeling something was watching me. My eyelids would lift on their on accord and I’d get a glimpse of something staring at me. It wasn’t the thing that looked at my fish.

I discussed this with my best friend earlier today, she thinks it could’ve been the thing that lives in the bedroom down the hall from mine. This happened for at least three songs. Then I got to a Toadies song. I love their music, but its not so great when this stuff is going on. It got to a line that went “do you wanta die” as my bed shook like someone was trying to climb up onto my bed over my really tall bed frame. I felt it thump down onto the bed and it laid there for a moment. I could see its shadow on the wall and I could feel the staring thing at my door. After a few moments, the shadow literally disappeared and I felt it crawl up the bed like a dog, or a cat, or a child, and lay beside me. I changed my music and listened to an Avenge Sevenfold song, which, surprisingly, calmed my nerves. I still felt the thing beside me, but I finally took the headphones away from my ears.

I tried to get them to back onto the roll they came in, but I was getting frustrated. I was practically yelling at the headphones when my mom came in. When she came in, I couldn’t feel the other thing anymore, but I could feel the thing in bed next to me. I was upset, and my mom put up with me until she was satisfied that she couldn’t do anymore to help me sleep. When she left, after getting my radio for me and putting in a CD (she’s amazing that way, considering I never thought to do that myself), I saw that my window curtain was open again. I got up, closed it,… then tossed and turned until around two AM.

The thing that crawls up into my bed isn’t anything new. Nor is the thing that stares, but it usually doesn’t come into my room unless a friend is staying over, especially my best friend who has always been able to see things too. I don’t know where the staring thing comes from. But I feel that its male and young.

The thing that sleeps with me feels female and I think its attached to the picture I have in my room. Its an actual charcoal drawing of some woman. I found it in a thrift store in Minnesota (I currently live in Texas). I was extremely attracted to the picture, though I was very repelled from the little back room it was in, in that junk shop. I had it framed and it hangs across the room from my bed, near my open closet.

The female presence is short. She’s climbed into bed with me before. She’s sweet and very child-like. She’s not the only to climb into bed with me. I’ve had a male presence too. He’s very tall, and recalls images I like of male figures (or the like) when I’m half asleep and can feel him there. But I guess he’s another story.

    Apparently the spirits feels connected to you in some way… Whether it’s the picture you have or some other reason it doesn’t seem apparent… Being in the same, or at least a similar, boat to yourself - I can relate.

    The spirits don’t seem to want anything other than closure. Maybe talking to them will make you and them feel less ill at ease. Next time they appear try having a conversation with them when your music is playing, that way if you get interference then you’ll know they are responding (even though they won’t be able to speak), and you may be able to help them move on.

    If you have common sense (as you appear to do) then you’ll be able to figure out their needs and help them to the best of your ability

    Hey Liam, thank you. I’ll try that. I’d love to be able to help them anyway I can,… I mean,… they were people too and I would hope to find help if I were a ghost. The easiest one to talk to would probably be the girl. She’s with me every night,… and I KNOW she isn’t bad because my ‘fraidy-cat dog isn’t scared of her,… the one that’s STILL roaming my house (and freaking out my dogs) may be a bit more difficult though. Thank you for your suggestion, I’ll give it a shot ASAP!
