The
Little Shadows
by Rebecca
Thirteen years ago, I was pregnant with my third child. I was staying with a friend and I usually slept down stairs. On one night her children where staying at their dad's, so I decided to sleep upstairs in her kids room. I lay my head down on the pillow and just closed my eyes when this feeling ran through my body like I was on a roller coaster and my stomach knotted up and that feeling stayed and wouldn't go away. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I tried to yell and I had to fight to open my eyes.
When I was able to open them part way, there was this bright flash of light that came in through the window. I closed my eyes and then tried to open them again to see if the light was there. As I opened them, I saw these little black shadows all around my bed. I tried to scream as the fear built up inside me. I closed my eyes again and opened them to see that there was an older man standing at the end of my bed with a pipe in his mouth, and all these little shadows are still standing there. I tried every thing I could to move and scream, but when I closed my eyes again the feeling went away and I sat up in the bed looking around in this dark room wondering what the hell just happened.
I got scared and ran downstairs to sleep in my bed. I told everyone what had happened and they said I was dreaming, but I know that I wasn't sleeping yet because I had just closed my eyes. That and they said I was crazy. It happen again about two weeks later, but I didn't see the old man again just the shadows.
Then three years later I was living in Virginia and then it started again, but it was different this time. The feelings were all the same and the fear was greater, but I saw things that had no faces and I was floating above my bed and in through my house. In my head I was fighting with things that I could not see and it went on for two weeks. I just wanted them to leave me alone. It's been seven years now and I haven't had that feeling or dreams or whatever they where since. So am I crazy or just have some strange dreams?
