years ago i was babysitting for a friend
in her living room was a spiral staircase that went up through the ceiling into the upstairs landing. it was a modern terraced house (built circa 1980’s)
i was completely sober and watching something on TV (nothing spooky)
i was suddenly gripped by a feeling of massive fear. i looked up to where the staircase went into the upstairs and saw some kind of dark matter coming down into the living room.
to try and explain what i saw, the light from the living room should have lit up the wall of the landing that i could see above the stairs, but it was the opposite of that, like darkness was reflecting out onto the wall of the living room near the space in the ceiling where the stairs were. it was almost like smokey tendrils, but not smoke, just ‘black light’ coming down into a brightl lit room
i knew that the baby (who was about 18 months old) was asleep upstairs. I ran upstairs in the dark (almost puking with fear), grabbed her out of her cot and ran out of the house. my heart was in my throat and I was clammy with sweat and in a state of panic. i banged on the neighbours door. when they answered i didn’t really know what to say but asked to come in and they let me in. when i explained what had happened, they said
“oh no, it’s back”
:crazy:
when the babys’ mum got home i told her what had happened and she broke down crying. it turned out she had had exorcists in and the house had been ok since then, but before that she had had loads of experiences of a dark presence in the house
she moved out shortly after
explain that. i can’t
Trick of the light??
Nah, seriously, I don’t know. That’s why I’m the same as DaftFader. I’m neither a skeptic or a believer.
However I do believe that certain conditions can have an effect on the brain. For instance, just lately they have found that very low frequencies can make people believe they are experiencing ghostly activities. Maybe there was some kind of similar effect on that house that was “on and off” and the exorcisms just coincided with that.
Not trying to make light of your experience because to be honest it sounds bloody terrifying. I just find it’s easy to believe in these things because they sound so interesting and entertaining so people want them to be true and will ignore any other explanation. Plus if you actually experience that kind of thing for youself it must be pretty bloody convincing. I’d be annoyed if I had your experience and then someone told me I was imagining things.
That said, I’d be shit scared in a supposed haunted house by myself.. at night.
