All of my life I had dreams of bad things that were to happen, one time I dreamt that a friend of mine along with my ex was to be hit by a car and 3 weeks later they were.
Then it started, at first it was just every couple of days I would see shadows following me. Then it became an everyday thing, I would feel as though I was being watched; I’d see shadows following me everywhere and I couldn’t block them out.
Then one night I was staying over at a friends house (Sammy) when her parents were out at a party. I woke up screaming, I could see one of the shadows stood at the window approaching me and watching me. Sammy let out a little squeal and flicked the light on. “What was that?” She turned round to me, I looked to her in shock “don’t say you didn’t see that?” She said, “I don’t know they f-follow me” when ever I tried to speak of them I used to stutter. “Why don’t you try some of that witchcraft crap you do and see what it wants?” I hadn’t actually considered it before then but I knew I had to do something so the next day I grabbed a candle and sat there on my own (note to anyone NEVER do this alone you’ll find out why).
I began with a simple prayer of protection and asked whom ever the things were that were following me to show themselves to me and show who they are. Within moments I heard bangs upstairs, and doors began to slam. My candle was blown out and I watched as the windows opened themselves and slammed them shut. ….” I trailed off my sentence when my friend rushed through the door. Sammy had been on her way home from the bus stop when she heard a loud scream from my house and when she came in noticed everything was banging. The thing was I hadn’t even had time to scream.
Everything calmed down moments later and she stayed with me all evening until my mum got home. All that night I kept quite about what had happened and I ran upstairs. The whole time, everywhere I went in the house I saw a frightened teenage girl (around my age at the time), she was dressed in a night gown and had long brown hair in my head. She was constantly grasping for me and one day when I was alone in the house, coming down the stairs I saw a glimpse of her with my own eyes, at the bottom of the stairs looking up at me, waiting for me. I taught myself to ignore her, she was nothing until one day I woke up to banging in my room and I heard a scream “Liar!” I ran to the stairs where the scream had come from and saw the girl waiting for me, she looked terrified and that’s when I saw a dark shadow forming behind her. I ran into my room and prayed to my Goddess (as I am pagan) and watched as the shadow filled my room and as I spoke her name the shadows fled.
I knew my last hope, as there were no covens near me I had only one choice a priest so because it was nearly Easter my school (which was a Catholic school) had confession so I went. And when I entered the school hall and approached the priest he rose and looked at me “father” I said nodding my head in greeting “I wouldn’t expect you to be here” he said and I knew he was on about my religion and so I sat down and so did he “I know I know me being pagan and all blah blah I’m not here for confession I need your advice” I said “well this is meant to be confession you know you are always welcome at the church if you wish to speak with me then…” I interrupted him “no no I don’t have much time I think something’s haunting me.” “Well that might be because you turned your face against the lord” he said “no no it started when I was a kid and now shadows are following me everywhere, I think they’re going to try to hurt me” he looked at me as though I were crazy and I knew I had to carry on “they show me bad things” “what kind of bad things?” He asked me, now don’t get me wrong hearing something like this from a 12 year old girl must be weird “like I know that soon my friend Sammy is going to get raped under a bridge near her home, you have to give me some advice how can I make them leave” I asked him “prayer but you do not believe in the lord so I would suggest try something out of your religion there should be something you can carry out” in frustration I left and when I got home I did some research, I found a cleansing ritual and carried it out.
Since the cleansing I have seen the girl on many occasions I believe she is here to protect me but I haven’t seen the shadows. And I still have the dreams but I guess it’s something I have to live with.
