I have had many sleep experiences that I now know people call "old hag" or sleep paralysis episodes. I myself have termed it Sleep Threshold Demonic Harassment. Maybe I will relay many of my experiences to you in a future correspondence, but today I would like to relay to you an episode that involved an entity (demon) from my friend's house that came to my house for a few minutes.
A friend of mine moved into a house in August that was built in 1927. A short time after, he, his wife and two daughters moved in. They began hearing knockings on the wall, inside and outside their house. He would always investigate and find nothing. There are very few pipes in the house and he knows there are none in any of the walls where he heard knocking.
One night while he was on his computer, he also caught something in his peripheral vision in the kitchen that came out of the laundry room and into the kitchen. When he turned to look, it was gone. His wife has heard tapping on the kitchen window and has heard conversation in the living room when no one else was home. His little girls, who never agree on anything also claim that the boogey man lives in the large oak tree outside their window. They say that a blue-gray man stands across the street looking at them and when he sees them staring at him; he floats really fast across the street and into the tree and watches them from the tree. One of his daughters also said that he was staring in the window one night. This particular window is three stories up.
Having grown up in a haunted house myself, I was curious about these events. I suggested that we take some random Polaroid's about the house to see if anything showed up. We shot two rolls of film. The only thing odd was two white blotches on one I had taken of the front of the house.
Remembering that he had also taken shots of the house before they moved in, he wondered whether he had anything on those shots. In a shot almost identical to the one I had taken of the front of the house, there is clearly a figure in the second story window. What's even more amazing about this shot is that it is clearly leaning out a CLOSED window. When we viewed this shot in a enhanced "stone" image, there is clearly what appears to be a skull for a head on this torso. It actually appears to be posing for the camera. I will send this shot to you as well. We also took about 40 other digital shots about the house with no further abnormalities.
What this all leads up to is an incredible event that transpired one evening. Keep in mind that I only live about two minutes away from my friend's house. After being on the net for awhile one evening, I was finally too tired to stay up any longer. I remember looking at the clock and noting that is was 2:33 a.m. I got in bed and quickly fell asleep. The next thing I know I saw a brilliant flash in the room and heard what sounded like a camera shutter clicking. At the same time I heard a man's voice say, "Ah-haaa," as if saying, "Now I have a picture of YOU." At first I thought I was fully awake and thought that my wife and I were actually being attacked physically. I had the distinct impression of a dirty old man in his 60s in raggedy clothes and a smushed top hat. I saw a shadow duck down to my left in the darkness.
At this point I realized that I was in a sleep paralysis state, awake on the spirit plane. I could distinctly see the glow from the computer screen in the next room on our bedroom door. I was also aware of a presence on the bed to my right, between my wife and I. It was too dark at first to make out what it was.
Everything was still for about 15 seconds when suddenly there was another flash in front of my face, and what was on the bed became vividly clear. It was a white, Afghan type dog with its back turned toward me, but its head was turned to face me. It had its teeth bared at me and at once I started thrashing and moaning and my wife woke me up completely. I immediately rebuked any demons in the room and prayed for God's protection the rest of the night and I slept soundly. I did note the time again which was now 2:47 a.m.
Meanwhile, at my friend's house, he too had been up most of the night online. He said that he kept hearing noises behind him while he was on the computer. He said it sounded like someone had two small cardboard dowels and were hitting them together. Every time he looked behind him it would stop. It was also a pretty windy night and he wondered if Charlie (the name they have given their "ghost") would make the front door fly open. His computer is only about five feet away from the front door. No sooner had he thought this when the front door did, indeed, fly open and scared the crap out of him. He said the opening on the screen door is not nearly big enough for a gust of wind to have made the door fly open as forcibly as it did.
I asked him what time this had happened, and he said about 3 a.m. It seems that his entity was fed up with us taking so many pictures of it and decided to pay me a little visit before returning home.
