29. A Night Visitor

They say paranormal experiences are usually more active when you're a teenager. Well, my adolescence was extremely active, especially when it came to dreams. I had a lot of déjà vu and a lot of very odd dreams.

This one takes the cake. I was asleep and I woke up. I looked around my room, and out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving along the edge of my bed. I went to go sit up just a little to look at it. This thing popped up over the foot of my bed, near my feet, and I froze. This figure didn't have very strong features; it was more of a shadow or a silhouette, and it started slowly, on all fours, to crawl up my bed. I thought I had to be dreaming, that it wasn't real. I wasn't scared yet.

It placed a hand, if you could call it that, on my ankle. I felt it, it was real and it had weight to it. Now, I started getting frightened. It slowly moved up my entire body and finally it came to my chest. We were face-to-face. I blinked or twitched and then I turned away from it. When I came back it was gone. So I sat up in bed figuring that maybe it was my cat. I got up and I turned on my light. Not only was my bedroom door closed, my cat wasn't in my room.

I really wanted to blame my cat. I had a lot of lucid dreams when I was younger. Until this one, though, I'd never had another creature in my room with me. This thing actually popped up a few other times later on in the future, in dreams, though never actually when I was awake. It was very strange. I was frightened, not because I thought it was going to hurt me, but simply because there was something I couldn't identify crawling on me.

When I was able to sit down and think about it later, it seemed like it was curious, like it was checking me out. I have an English Lit degree now and I've read a lot of folktales and fairytales. You'll find, oddly enough, in these stories that creatures like this can be good or not so good. I don't know if this one was a form of a shadow person or something connected to me. It wasn't mean, but it was odd. That's all I can say. It was very, very strange.
