Blood-Curdling Whisper
by Bummer

I have had a few very unusual things happen in my life, and there are three in particular that have totally scared the s@#t out of me. 

The first of these incidents I do not remember as vividly as the others because I was so young at the time. It happened one morning at my grandma's house. I must have been about maybe four or five years old. I woke up in bed only to find myself upside down with my head under the sheets. I remember trying to find my way out, but there was some sort of force or pressure pushing back against me. This is when I started to panic and thrashed wildly at the blankets. After what seemed like minutes of struggling, the pressure eased up and I was able to roll out of bed and run downstairs, where I found my grandparents and my two uncles at the kitchen table; they where the only other people in the house. I have had a fear of being smothered since then and have panic attacks when I am pinned down. Oddly enough, so does my younger sister. 

The other two incidents happened to me while in my early teens inside my own house and where both much more frightening than the first. The second experience was much like the first. I was home from school one day because of back spasms which I would get regularly. I was lying in bed because of the pain. My mom came in to see if I needed anything and then went back downstairs. Suddenly, a sense of fear and panic raced through me and I couldn't move. As with other people's old hag stories that I have read, I could feel an evil presence, and I remember not wanting to look to my right for some reason. Then I had the sensation that felt almost like floating, and I remember looking out my room (which has no door) at the wall in the hallway. To this day, I know that there was something "written" there, but I can't remember what. I tried screaming out for my mom, but couldn't make a sound. After trying to scream a couple of times, it just sort of "let go" and I was able to move. I jumped up and ran downstairs as fast as I could, sore back or no. 

Since my first two stories are so long I'll keep this one brief. I woke up in bed feeling terrified for some reason. I think I had a nightmare. I sat up in bed, trying to fall back to sleep, when in my left ear I heard someone in a blood-curdling voice whisper, "Come, come, come" with demonic laughing in between. The sound seemed to have started in my left ear and moved across my face and to my right ear. I said the Lord's prayer more earnestly than I ever had an it disappeared.
