Me and my boyfriend, the father of my first son, had moved into a Hotel while looking for a place closer to his family in Tooele, Utah. There was an old piano on the floor we stayed in and I felt something cold and my head was spinning. I just figured it was from the stairs.
I met the girlfriend of the owner who had told me that the Hotel was said to be haunting even though she herself had never experienced anything herself. I never thought about it again.
One day I had fed my son his lunch and laid him in bed for his nap. I cleaned up and was sitting in the middle of the couch in the living room next to his room when I felt something strange brush through me into my sons room. My first thought was that it was a demon spirit and it is going for my son.
The room had no door and the doorway was right next to the couch so it did not take long for me to get to my son. When I rounded the couch there was my son sitting up in the middle of the bed without his covers Indian style staring straight ahead and he just did not look like him, it was the strangest feeling.
I was at the front of the bed and went to reach for him and right before my eyes he was lifted up in that same Indian style position and put back on his bed before I could even blink. I could not believe it. He still had that blank stare like he did not even know what had happened or even that I was there.
As I was reaching for him again he was lifted and put to the side of my reach I just could not get to him fast enough and I said out loud “now that is enough!” Then I grabbed him and something made me put him back in the middle of the bed and he was lifted and the bed moved from the wall and he was up against the wall stuck between the bed and wall.
This time he seemed to be alert. I just grabbed him and sat in the middle of his bed that had been moved and began to pray to Jesus. I just could not believe what had happened I had never seen such a sight nor heard of something so frightening. I must admit that was the only incident and this is the first time I have even brought it to life and that was over six years ago. My eyes are teary and my back is cold and tight just thinking about it, but it haunts me every day. Will it come back?
May God have mercy on us all.

i do belive this very very much but i am wonderng how this is the child of god…
wow, that’s pretty scary, i can imagine how you felt for your son, just pray TRY not
to be scared of whatever it is, tell it to go away…
WOW, i hope your son was ok! I also hope that nothing bad bothered you again… that must have been soo frightening!
Have you or your son experienced anything like that again? If not, I would say that it was the place that was haunted and for you not to worry.
I would however keep an eye on your son to see if he has some sort of psychic ability…sensitive.
As for my own comment about your story…I would have freaked out! When that happened, did you feel a hostile presence or a presence that was evil?
just keep praying to Jesus that you will never have to go through somethinl like that again. and im sorry. but i don kno if it will comeback
OMG! I hope this thing doesn’t bother you or your son again. And ignore the rude comment from that guy about wondering if your son is a child of god. It wasn’t something your son could have prevented, it could happen to anyone.
I think the title refers to the christian belief that we are all “children of god.” That god thinks of all of us as his children.
I am SO glad he was unharmed and that you able to hold and comfort him…. pray daily and keep religious sybols up in your home too… I pray nothing like that ever happens again!
