Was It a Dream or Not?
by Roxie Y.

I believe I have come in contact with something evil at least six times in the last four years. It only happens when I'm asleep. I've seen a figure of a man wearing a long black jacket and almost like a tall hat standing in the corner of my room. I've seen dark shadows floating over me holding my wrist. Usually I start praying and they're gone. But last time I had this encounter, I prayed and nothing happened. I woke up at 4 a.m. with my boyfriend because that's the time he goes to work. I heard him lock the door behind him when he left the house.

No more than five minutes later, I heard the door open. I thought it was my boyfriend coming back because he forgot something. I felt some thing climb in bed with me, but I knew it was not him. Whatever it was squeezed my stomach very hard. I almost felt like I couldn't breath. When these encounters happen, I can never talk and I can't move. I prayed, but it wouldn't let me go for at least five minutes. When it finally did, I looked up to see what it was.

I saw a black shadow run toward my door. I screamed in the name of Jesus Christ, "I command you to leave!" It looked back at me and ran toward me at full speed, but before it was over me it was gone. I felt like I had just awoke from a nightmare; my stomach was killing me. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid to fall asleep.
