The darkness

Very fringey topic.

The other day my brother revealed to me a very dark story from the distant past. It broke him but as a kid in confusion it remained 'in the dark' for 25 years.

When we stayed in a hotel one night he saw a dark, faceless silhoulette figure leaning/looming over me, trying to find a way in. His words..

I've met this same type of being in a single dream (that didn't feel like one) around the same time. It is not benevolent.. I was violently grabbed by this thing and pulled under before it woke me. It was a male, very tall, wore a large coat and a very wide brimmed hat. It had no eyes. They were more like white led flashlights..

What is it? Why does it exist?

Some people will say that you underwent sleep paralysis.

I will say that I had a situation similar, around this time last year at a hotel I was staying at. I was asleep in the bed, it was raining, and I swear I felt some entity hovering over the bed, a black silhouette. It was a dark energy and I could feel it sucking my life force away slowly. When I finally woke up, I could feel myself pushing it away energetically and I basically yelled: get away from me, go find somebody else to leech off of.

After I caught my breath, I decided to wear my cross necklace for the rest of the night. This is only the third time I've spoken about it to somebody openly.

Evil does exist, it's a story I will never forget.

Scary.. The pressure on the chest to pin you is not something I experienced. Some stories line up with yours. I looked up Grok and asked about Jinns, thinking that. They are apparently not Jinn (nor Hym) but a type of female Incubi, who are not known to kill their subjects but feed off our energy while we sleep. Do you recall if said being had horns?

When I was 17 a strange thing happened to me just after going to bed. I lay under the sheets in reverse on the bed (head where the feet go) and within a minute something poked me hard in the side of my ribs.. The light didn't get turned off that night.

I learned of first hand paralysis experiences for the first time at age 11. But rather than then being middle of the night, I would have weird, fully conscious paralysis during the afternoons. The body felt like it turned into a battery and then some.

Because monsters truly exist in this world. Imagine living a life where you are constantly in fear and terrified, then realize that monster was you? Maybe even some people try to convince you someone might have hurt you when you were young, but you aren't easily to believe a cop out as easy as that? Then you realize the monster absolutely terrifying you as a child is the version of you that you've become today?

When Virgo and i were together we’d a spirit presence of an old man who used to live in the house. He didn’t like Virgo and pressed down on his chest when sleeping. He also went into our son’s room but wasn’t threatening to him but he saw him.

Long story short i had the house cleansed, myself and a Healer friend did this and i also had a Medium read for me. Apparently the man didn’t like Virgo and said he was arrogant but liked me because i embraced the ”old ways” (Ireland).

Time goes by and the couple who bought the house we heard the guy had a stroke and they split up and he moved out

Two English men living in an old IRA safe house who didn’t embrace the old ways.

The spirit didn’t like this

Virgo had tried to rip out the sacred heart light and both the electrician and myself warned him about that. Shortly after, he got the ”visit”.

Sometimes it’s not them but something in you, some darkness, as Soul said.

Surround yourself in white light always and you’ll be protected and be very careful who you let close

So like an artifact of the old world. Not to blame him but it seems like a harsh punishment to attach to him, and you like that.

We are an ignorant generation.. It should be main stream to know what the spirits are and how to live with them. Or how to get rid of them. Whatever the truth is.

I saw a nightmare when I was like 5 and I still remember it.

In the nightmare there is a party in our house and the adults are having fun in a bright and happy room and the kids are just hanging out playing in a darker room. I see some ghosts appear at the windows but they are harmless and look like ancient ancestors or warriors with swords. Then I hear a voice from a room which is just a storage room and we go to check it but there is nothing there so the other kids keep playing.

But I somehow know the sound came from the vents and I am able to see the creature in my head. I have a feeling it knows me or that I can see him. It has horns and it looks like the donnie darko creature or a bit like the monster in stranger things. It's definitely evil. But the nightmare ends there.

I was scared of that room for a few years and I even wondered whether the creature followed me when we were on vacation that summer 🙂

How you as a 5 year old processed that.. When it sticks to you like glue all these years later you realize there has to me more at play here. Dreams are much more than memories or 'repressed thoughts' that manifest delusions imo.

I remember it because I told everyone in the house about it lol. And back then I thought it was just a nightmare with a monster in it.

This room was on the corridor that led to our parents bedroom and me and my older sister would be scared of that room even before my nightmare probably because it was never really used and in scary movies that's never a good thing so we would always run through that corridor especially at nights if we wanted to go to our parents bedroom.

But yes I do believe that maybe it was more than that now. Like I've said especially after seeing donnie darko and stranger things it made me wonder whether all these imaginary monsters that kids are afraid of are actually real in some way. And maybe some kids see or imagine the same monster in their dreams ?

A strange part of me doesn't understand the concept. The victim is truly their own victim. If you chose to feel pain, doesn't that make you the problem?

Choosing to feel pain is imo not a choice. If said victim has been subjected to the selfish, sociopathic nature of another, especially if they are young, impressionable, and can't discern the nature of said sociopath (or potential victim themselves) they outlet their self hatred on someone else.

People can be or just are vicious and stupid lost souls Those types are probably the archetypes who've died and are paying for their sins by living 'under our bed', terrorizing us, especially children.

Then we become them when we die, like some vicious circle of theological chaos. 🙂

How do you not feel it. How do you not feel the intense pain, just feel nothing. Silence. Nothingness. how can you pretend to feel nothing?

If you ask that to a cabbage patch kid (a reference to someone who knows fuck all) they'll tell you it's just life and to deal with the cards you've been dealt. So the typical response in a society of culture less NPCs would be to take on a crutch. Add fuel to the fire.

To escape said dead feelings would be to find someone who truly understands or is beyond your madness. Or delve into them, to forget yours. Get out of your own head and realize you're not the only person who suffers from the human condition.

You try telling someone that as a kid and they'll tell you to shut up because you're embarrassing them. Or tell someone as an adult and they'll tell you to get an MRI. Because they can't process against what they believe.

It's getting easier now that we have surpassed the boomer mentality. It's a fragmented process but is definitely an improvement over say the pre 2015 era.

More and more conversations like these are appearing. We can collab the things we have seen, and compare, find a revelation to confirm we are not nuts.

But still. We don't know what they are. The mist in the hallway. The angry spirit that hisses and scowls at you. Because you won't throw the Chucky doll away. Or you don't want to see that faded, out of place sacred heart light.

In a strange way I don't want to do that. I feel the second I accept others suffering I'm actually bringing their personal suffering into existence. Wouldn't it be less selfish just hold it all in, and keep it all to myself? Which in clearly not doing now. I apologize for the trauma dump also. Clearly these are just words, and overall mean nothing.

I'm clearly no expert on the matter. I think it's safe to say we try to view things in various ways to process it all. Without going into detail my outlets are buried in the ground, set free from a pier, or in someone elses body.

I also apologize because after I read it back it sounded like retaliative. I am in no position to do so. Except you hijacked the thread. BUT I let you. 🙂

I've only recently experienced something like this. Imo this happens within little time when our minds shift from subconscious to conscious or the other option is that some entity tries to endanger our soul while our subconscious is in charge cause that'a when we're sensitive the most. What I experienced was something like this - I'm laying in my bed and suddenly become aware of the presence of some kind next to me and I open my eyes and see a shadow hovering next to my bad and in a some way tries to just fall on me but I screamed "wtf are you doing?!" And I woke up quickly from that. The shadow in my dream was my boyfriend in fact, but ut was literally a shadow of him, it had no eyes or face, like you described as well. Just a black form in his shape and I knew in that dream that it's somehow supposed to be him. That's the only time I experienced something like this. Also one thing I remembered now, people who sleep on their back are more likely to experience sleep paralysis. It rarely happens when you sleep on the side apparently. I was on my back when that happened but apparently was able to wake myself up before it actually paralyzed me

This is cool. Stories like this prove these are no coincidences. Especially when you describe what position you are physically in when this triggers. Laying on the back is especially true. I read people sitting up against their beds, or even reclined in a chair, the particular way their back is arched can trigger the state. They access the 'spinal fluid', called by a particular brain wave.

I was just watching a Why Files episode on OBEs and there's this scientific explanation where the mind changes brain waves to something delta or theta and the shift between consciousness is when the sine waves themselves hit the top & bottom of a cycle. Those very peaks are consciousness accessing infinity. Or the dimension above time. Those experiences could well be astral travel or something. And it feels so real or you're awake to it because the rest of the sine wave is you in normal conscious mode. We can split atoms and redirect them at will in our minds. Trust the science lol. It's fun to think about it this way. 🙂

People believe this shadow is a state of mind but there are way too many cases of this where the shadow manifests itself as a loved one but is something else entirely. The little time travel thing the brain does the moment it drifts off, I believe is the energy signature that 'antennaes' us to the 'others'. Our true etheral state perhaps when we are not connected to this vessel.

idk if this counts but i remember going to bed and i was having a weird ass dream. in the dream- since i was home late at night while i went to the kitchen to get a glass of water (was studying late at night or something) because everything looked like my house except the fact that some shadow figure was standing at the doorway. this figure might have tried to attack me in the dream-since i got dizzy asf- senses being numbed and blood pressure, dropping my pulse quickening (kind of like being choloroformed?). i forced myself awake and when i woke up my body felt really heavy. now im very wary of that corner of the house

Very fringey topic.

The other day my brother revealed to me a very dark story from the distant past. It broke him but as a kid in confusion it remained 'in the dark' for 25 years.
When we stayed in a hotel one night he saw a dark, faceless silhoulette figure leaning/looming over me, trying to find a way in. His words..
I've met this same type of being in a single dream (that didn't feel like one) around the same time. It is not benevolent.. I was violently grabbed by this thing and pulled under before it woke me. It was a male, very tall, wore a large coat and a very wide brimmed hat. It had no eyes. They were more like white led flashlights..
What is it? Why does it exist?

Some people will say that you underwent sleep paralysis.


I will say that I had a situation similar, around this time last year at a hotel I was staying at. I was asleep in the bed, it was raining, and I swear I felt some entity hovering over the bed, a black silhouette. It was a dark energy and I could feel it sucking my life force away slowly. When I finally woke up, I could feel myself pushing it away energetically and I basically yelled: get away from me, go find somebody else to leech off of.


After I caught my breath, I decided to wear my cross necklace for the rest of the night. This is only the third time I've spoken about it to somebody openly.


Evil does exist, it's a story I will never forget.

Yah it's called sleep paralysis I can't believe how many people still believe this shit is real like hat-wearing demons lol

I had it too a few times, woke up and came to my senses, nothing more to it.

Then why do so many have the same experience if it's not real.

Maybe those who have were strapped to a chair and forced to watch a reel of attrition, which included flashes of the trench coat man.

But it's fake. For entertainment purposes only. I guess you missed the memo. Or your pager is broken.

Normally I would agree with you, it does make logical sense and is most likely the real reason. But I've been a part of and have seen too many odd things to just take that at face value. Hasn't happened since.

Then why do so many have the same experience if it's not real.

One of those things when people collectivly missremember things. Someone at some point saw a tall dark figure with a hat during their paralysis and started a thread on Reddt which in turn became a Creepypasta episode, etc. and suddenly it's become an urban legend and people ARE actually seeing him during their sleep paralysis just like you are seeing the monster you saw after watching that horror movie that time bc your brain expects it and conjures it.

Hell even I was almost convined that it was Hatman I saw during one of my episodes but actually no, thinking real hard I never saw anything, it was just a feeling I was being watched by something.

It's a relatively new phenomena , this Hat man, which coincides with when people started talking about it online (and sleep paralysis in general).

I don’t like discussing this because I don’t like inviting evil back into my life. When I was 18 years old I had this demonic presence pass through my body. Entering through my head and exiting through my feet. I was in this grassy field and others were lying all around me. The demonic presence was passing through them as well and all I could hear were their screams and then feeling my body shaking violently as the presence passed through my body. I could not move or run away. I remember waking in my bed still shaking all over. The only explanation was that it was a dream. It just felt so real and it has stayed with me and haunted me all this time. I have never felt the same since.

Brutal. It happened. It also happened to us. Whether it is just a syndrome that we carry in our subconscious or something else. We don't know the half of what we are thanks to all the reset cycles, keeping us in fear mode.

I can see why you are worried. It felt like it was possession. And we all don't want that more than anything.

For me I woke up screaming. I've never had anything like it since.

I don't carry too much fear. Mortality episodes occur for me on the regular. And I am not scared of death any more. A lil concerned about what might be but eh.

They kill sometimes, but malevolent energies are something to be feared. When I had activity in my old apartment, I realized that if they didn't do anything to me physically, they would rob me of sleep and sanity needed to function in daily life. I was on coke though so who knows. I still think it was real. But the only thing that worked to make it stop was ironically asking for Jesus' help on one occasion and then being clean long enough (like a year- don't do drugs, stims can induce psychosis and/or schizophrenia)

Another time when I was clean but experimenting with hoodoo I tried burning a candle to Oshun, it turned blacker than any candle spell ever had and a few days in it toppled over suddenly. I've read that others attempting to work with Oshun had the same experience. She is picky with who she wants to work with- I have some West African ancestry, but she is a goddess of fertility & I was already sterilized by then.

Also I didn't stick with the Christianity. Jesus is like a crutch in my life in desperate times. Sad to say. I've been baptized 3x. I think the theology is valid, but I can't convince myself that God is good or trustworthy, nor that heaven is a pleasant place. Their representatives don't sell their case either. If someone tells you that if he looked like you he'd off himself, 10x out of 10 he has a cross in his bio.

Sharing because I wish to see what response I may get


When I was 6 or so, after waking up for the bathroom and returning, I saw a thing crouched or kneeling on the bed, close the edge, facing me as I entered. And to my left were maybe human shaped shadows in a close small circle, also kneeling or crouching, it was hard to tell. I was too transfixed by the gaze of the thing on the bed. An upturned gaze, looking right at me, amused, there were horns, two horns, and it had my sibling's face or perhaps mine (in later years I would meet some who saw myself and my sibling as looking similar "enough to be twins", as one said).

As for why it exists, it would probably be the same as asking why the sun, moon, and stars exist. Although, I am certain that they are not worth fearing.

Oof. Crazy. The only theory I have read where the being is crouching &/or leaning on you (or even pressing on your chest) is the incubi theory. But multiple entities and you are awake making the pit stop? No thank you.

Thanks for your input.

Maybe it exists, like astrology, as shadow energy from the fallen gods. If they won't show you what they are they are not your friend.

There are stories of people on the harder stuff going through some weird experiences.

I've heard of Oshun. Not sure where but she would be the same as Aphrodite or Ishtar if she's the goddess of fertility?

To me tapping into voodoo is like asking a demon at the crossroad for a 'be careful what you wish for' deal.

Theology is broken. I like to think the non canon apocrypha should be included in curriculum. It helps people broaden their understanding of worship. It makes you realize not all gods are the god. Perhaps none of them are.

'Can he peer into her soul?'



Enjoy.
