More Than Just a Ghost

A little over 12yrs ago my husband and I moved into one of two duplex with our two little girls.

One night It had been snowing on and off all night. I was expecting my husband to come home late but gave up and went to bed. I was laying there waiting to go to sleep when I heard a pounding on the front door. When I went to the door no one was there. Then there was a knock on the bedroom window. I looked and no one was there. Well, I just thought it was the kids in the area playing around. This went on for a while from the door to the window and back. It got a little old so I went to check the snow by looking out the front door and bedroom window for foot prints to see if they were small like a child or maybe big like a mans boots but there were no foot prints in the fresh snow!!

Well, this was a little wierd. But I went back to bed. I was resting with my eyes closed when something poked me hard in the right eye. I jumped up in bed and crying out as I did so. My first thought was one of the girls had woke up and not expecting me on that side of the bed tried to get in bed with me and hit me by mistake.(I was not on my side of the bed) I asked them what was wrong but no one said anything.

I got up to I checked the girls thinking I startled her when I cried out and she ran back to bed but they were both sound asleep. I went back to bed, but this time in a short while I felt a very dark presence when I turned off the light. I tryed not to pay any thought to it but the feeling just got stronger and stronger. It seemed to walk from one side of the bed to the next and back again just to repeat it all over again all very quickly. I was getting very afraid at this point because I kept getting a picture in my mind of a knife flying through the air, as if it was sending me a mental picture.

I know to some of you that sounds real wierd but if it ever happens to you you'll understand. I would like to say at this point I have never done drugs nor was I taking any medication, for those of you who are starting to wander. I have seen spirits before at times through out the years but it was no big deal up until this point. In the past as soon as I would start to get scared they would fade away. NOT THIS TIME! But hold on, it just gets stranger. I have a hard time with what happened next my self.

The room was pitch black and the evil was intensifying. I started to pray for all I was worth and then some. After what seemed like a lifetime but in fact was probly only a few minutes, a peace came over me then out of no where a figure appeared in the right hand corner of the room. I could only see him from his shoulders down, but he had on a white or soft yellow robe and he had his hands cupped together in front of him towards the left side of the room. From the top left corner of the room directly across from this figure a soft Yellow ray of light(it was like when a small ray of sun light breaks through the clouds only this was a soft buttery yellow) down right into his cupped hands. This all only happened for 3 to 5 seconds. Then it was all gone, the good and the bad. Except for the peace that was left behind. I couldn't believe my own eyes until I realised I could still feel a tenderness in my right eye, so I knew it was all real. This was all very real and it was just as I said. I just have no answers why it happened. I hope this was of interest to you.

Thanks for taking the time to let me share this. Sorry it was so long.
