Shadows
and Light
by Leah Ibrahim
In 1993 my mother passed away from acute mylogenous leukemia and I was devastated by this; it was a sudden death. My father never went home after she died. I went with my children to live in her home. My stepfather said he could not go back there, that it was too hard. So I went there to get mom's things packed up and stay as he requested until we figured out what he was going to do. It was a 165-year-old home and I grew up in this home. I always had feelings I cannot describe (fear -- I hated the basement) just made me feel uneasy.
A week after my mother's passing, I was lying in her bed on her side of the bed and I was lying there in the dark. I happened to look up and see these dark (black shadows), about five of them hovering above me. They moved in a fast manner, and the figures were like they weighed nothing, like thin paper blowing in the wind. They moved fast, hovering above me. I thought I was seeing things and closed my eyes and opened them. They were still there. I did not see eyes or faces, just hooded black shadows. I have a prayer I always say for protection and I began to say this prayer of protection.
This is how it goes. I wrap the pure white light Jesus Christ around me. Any evil vibrations, thoughts, words or deeds sent to me I bless and return to the senders. In Jesus' name I pray AMEN. I started this prayer and repeated over and over. Then I glanced over the bedroom door and saw this huge ball of the brightest white light. It rolled in a big ball, just like a bowling ball would and went through these dark things and they just disappeared.
I had not had anything else like that happen until april of 2004. I went to Egypt to get married. My husband is Egyptian, and my second night there I was in bed. It was late, about 3 a.m. and I was lying there asleep, and for some reason something woke me out of this sound sleep I was in, like I was jolted from my sleep somehow. I went to turn over and there stood this very very tall black shadow of a man. He had a long black trench coat and some kind of a hat, like a hat you might place on a scarecrow. He was taller than 6 ft. He was like a huge black shadow, I thought to myself, no this is not happening to me.
I thought maybe I was imagining this, so I again closed my eyes, opened them. There he was and I did not see any eyes or any features in the face, but the head was bent like he was looking over me. I will admit I was very scared, then I again started with my prayer of protection and repeated over and over. In floated this ball of bright light about the size of a bowling ball. It floated slowly into my room and attached itself to the left shoulder of this shadow and slowly floated that thing out of the bedroom... and the rest of my stay I saw nothing more.
