It was about a few nights ago,(10/13-15/97), and I was going to sleep. The time was a little after 9:45 pm. My room is a rectangular shape, with my door on the side one corner. (as I sleep, I face towards the door. So anyways, when I was getting comfortable, I could see a deep blackish cloud float into my doorway, and slowly make a person-like shape, but not so much as to make an outlined shape it stayed there for a few minutes. It looked as if it was hunched over, and staring right at me. I froze in shock. I decided to either stay up all night wacthing this thing, or try to something about it. so I slowly sat up, and a !!boo!! like action towards it. The exact second that I did that, it flew right out of the room. This happened about 3 nights in a row. I got used to it, and i would laugh at it, and it would still shoot right out the room. Another thing thats happened in my sleep,(-Beware stomach sleepers--), was I coulden't get comfortable, and I was tossing and turning all night. I finnaly fell asleep. All of a sudden, I Was waken up, and my right arm was on my back, and my left hand was on my side. I could feel a heavy weight on my back, as if someones knee was on my back. I felt an exremly cold hand on my right wrist, along with the "knee". Then in my exact voice, I could hear someone say: " we can't let him move, we must keep this a secret and noone must find out about this." I was scared out of my mind. I tried to scream, but it just woulden't come out.I tried to wiggle around a lot, and moving my wrist fast so it would come loose, but the harder I tried to free myself from this horror, it pressed down harder, and more weight would press down on my back. I couldn't breathe. My face was jammed into my pillow. I was desperatly gasping for air. I remember making a wheezing sound. As I made that sound,the "thing" pulled my hair so hard, my whole head jerked back. Still I couldn't make a sound. It held my head in that position, and said " shut up-now!!" It threw my head back on to my pillow. That did it. No longer was I scared. I was starting to get really P-Oed. All the anger I had in me built up and I spun right around,-- But there was nothing there. I got out of my bed, and went into the hallway and started saying: "Come on fagets!!, come on!!" I went all aruond the house trying to find something linking to this occurance. Nothing. Every thing was normal. I went back to sleep. Again once I got comfortable, I could see this "cloud" again in my doorway. I " scared it away" as I always did. I finnaly fell asleep again. I hope nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your time.
