A Spirit's Warning
Rate this encounter:
Lilly Finlay, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, January 2007
I have been living in my house for about 10 years now and I have never
encountered anything supernatural up until about five months ago. The first
night anything happened, I was lying in bed with the light off, when
suddenly the room went icy cold and this is strange as it was boiling hot
here in Australia this summer and I had just a sheet. So of course I was a
little freaked out, but I thought nothing of it. So I just lay there in the
cold, trying to get to sleep despite the strange feeling that was growing in
my stomach -- like I was being watched. Suddenly, I felt someone push me to
the other side of my bed, and I jumped up and turned the light on. After a
few days, nothing more happened, so I had the light off when I was sleeping
again. This time I heard all these whisperings around me, but one distinct
male voice that was right in my ear, and I could feel hot breathe on my
neck. At this point, I didn't feel threatened, and I don't think the spirits
have ill intent, but of course I was a little spooked. I again got up and
turned the light on. I decided it safe to sleep with the light on for a
while, just to secure myself before turning it off again. This was the final
straw. I was woken up during the night to someone stroking my face, and when
I sat up, I felt as if someone was trying to hold my hand, and I heard a
soft whisper telling me everything would be okay -- that he was fine. I had
no idea what this meant, and about a week later it clicked to me that maybe
this whole thing was a warning, as a week later, my uncle committed suicide
and it all stopped.
