I wrote previously a story called "The knocking at the door" It was a very nice up scale eff. in a good neighborhood, great view of the mountains, and very close to my work. Besides the knocking at the door in the wee hours of the morning, I would have strange shadows on the wall. Things would disappear, and reappear later, and sometimes they never came back at all. Several times though I would awake with a jolt, like you are jumping in your sleep, this is normal everyone experiences this.

This one time, I know it was not usual. I had been fast asleep and it seemed like I was suspended from a great height because when I came down it was like crashing on the bed and the bed springs made noises, the bed frame wobbled up against the wall, I must have literally bounced about three or four times.

Of course I was wide awake at that time, thought it was kinda strange and lit a cigarette. So I'm sitting there on the edge of my bed smoking and I notice my cat Hunter crouched by the door with his nose sniffing the bottom crack of the door. When I looked up further I saw the door knob turn back and forth, back and forth. I was freaked at that point and was relieved to notice that I had thrown the bolt lock. I have to admit that after everything that had transpired I did not have the courage to look out the window. It probably was the first time I had truly felt creepy about living there.

Again, in the morning, when I opened the door to go to work, there was virgin snow, NO FOOT PRINTS.

I knew a wife of a preacher and she came over and said prayer and anointed oil on my windows and door. I was never bothered again by anything, no knocking, no shadows, no levitating in my sleep anymore. I have to say it was very interesting living there for all those years, but at the end when the entities were getting stronger, I had to protect myself. With God's help, Amen!
