Shadows and Cold Spots
Rate this encounter:
Stirling, Essex, Ontario, Canada, 2001 to
present
I've always been a believer of the after life and spirits but I've
always been very skeptical about jumping to "it's a spirit." I always
try to think of other reasons that might have caused the creepy activity
(echoes, drowsiness, wind, etc.) but also I've always had strange things
happen to me like my bed shaking, hearing my name being whispered, but
once things started to get aggressive in my "new" home, I knew I
couldn't deny what was going on in my home and for some reason it seemed
only to be focused around me, though I could tell our current Shelty
(dog) sensed things too.
At first things seemed mild such as seeing things in the corner of my eye,
having strange dreams, smelling things such as perfume that would flare
up my allergies, and hearing bumps and footsteps. But I was only 14 at
the time so I dismissed them though I knew at the back of my mind
something was strange.
What finally started to open my eyes was the sudden cold spots that seemed
to linger accompanied with the strong feeling of being watched and the
sudden energy lose I would get out of nowhere. I began to wake up in the
middle of the night with the wind chimes ringing over my bed (there was
no wind outside and so no drafts) would be going haywire (note that
chiming wind chimes in a house is warning of evil) and the room would
get either very cold or warm. Luckily, I had some past experience with
weird stuff. I'm able to speak even when scared, so the moment I would
shout "F*** off!" at whatever was pestering me, it stopped and I was
able to sleep again. After a few months with the small things continuing
whatever was in the house began to make itself known and I was becoming
more annoyed then scared.
One afternoon I was sitting in my room doing homework and I heard someone
running up the stairs that lead to my room only they didn't slow down
and they were extremely loud. I looked up as I heard them storm into my
bedroom and as I looked up a hunched cloaked figure stood at the end of
my bed then faded quickly. Completely scared, I ran downstairs and found
everyone and all the pets were downstairs as well.
Later that night I had managed to push the incident out of my mind
and finished reading my book. I got up and put my book back on the shelf
with the others and as I turned and literally took one step away, the
book flew off, barely missed my head, and landed on the floor in front
of me.
Days later I was laying in my bed trying to sleep and felt a really
strong presence so I opened my eyes only to discover a white face with
hollow feature hovering over me and it began to fall toward me, I glared
then it went away.
I don't want to bore you with many more details seeing as this is
getting really long, so I'll brief the rest in order:
-Dog began to stand outside of parents' room and bark and pace for
hours
-I awoke pined to my wall, felt a cold finger run down my spine which
caused me to pass out before I could call to my friend beside me. While
I was passed out I dreamt I was reading a dictionary that said
"Poltergeist" then defined it; when I woke up I was flat on my back the
the blankets pulls straight across my chest
-heard scratching noises then in the morning a box was clawed up on
the inside (a friend heard it too and all animals were downstairs)
-I was sitting eating supper with my family and I heard my name being
called upstairs, I ignored it then I heard it again louder and shouted
"What?!" -- my family asked who I was talking to and looked at me weird
-I finally got tired of it all and performed my own Pagan/Wiccan
ritual, which half way through, I clearly heard a mans voice yell
"Noooo!"
After the exorcism, nothing happened for months aside from strange dreams
then a small act-up seeing a shadowy figure once in a while but now
everything has settled completely.
