Stepped into Another Dimension
by Chris Rowntree

When I was around 13 (five years ago), I had been sitting with my family one evening. I went upstairs to my room after a while. When I closed the door and looked ahead, there was a blinding flash of pure white light. When it cleared, there was nothing around me – my room was gone and I was just suspended in darkness. I looked all around me. There was no floor, no walls, no ceiling or furniture... nothing. But about a metre or two straight ahead of me was a figure dressed in black, not wearing any particular style of clothing or anything, just like a normal everyday man that you could walk past down the street. I could see him clearly. He had shorter/mid-length, slightly curly hair that was deep black, like his attire and the surroundings. He just stood there, and I think he mouthed something to me, but I was confused and wondering what was happening, so basically couldn't make out what he did exactly. The strange thing is that I wasn't even slightly afraid, and he wasn't menacing. I was just very worried about where I'd gone. This lasted about 20 seconds (I think; I couldn't really keep track of time in my confusion). Then there was another blinding flash of light. I was back in my room, and he was gone.

Then within a few months of that happening, one night I switched the light off, got into bed, and lay on my right-hand side. There was a flash of light, and that same man had appeared and was lying on his left side looking directly at me. His face was literally 50cm from mine, and he was floating in mid-air. I was slightly more panicky than the last time this had happened for some reason, but he smiled at me – a friendly kind of smile, not scary or smug – and I felt pretty much at ease. After he'd been there about 10 seconds, the flash of light came again, and he was gone.

I have absolutely no idea who he was, and have never seen him since, but would desperately like to, just to know who he is and what he wanted from me.
