I got one for you. I'm 9 yrs old and this is the early 70's and my folks and I go to the movie theatre to see this movie......The Boggie Creek Monster! about a Bigfoot.

All during the flick the Monster is being found tearing stuff up and the locals are out hunting it in the woods with guns and one of the good ole boys shoots it with a shotgun. Big mistake.

They are the house getting ready for supper and that thing sticks its long arm in the window and grabs Billy Joe Bob by the neck and goes to shaking him and that did me in. I was terrified.

So I'm laying in the bed the Horn's rent house where we were living at time. It was a great place and had some real age on it so it gave off this really cool vibe but it was old and had a porch swing.

Not a lot of insulation but this was sort of down east North Carolina and most of your problems were heat in the summer. So its summer and I'm laying in the bed can't sleep one night and I see the shadows start to move from the street light against my wall and all I can think about is that Boggie Creek Monster and sure enough a form goes across my wall that looks like he is right outside my window.

I was almost out of breath I was so scared and I knew I had to scream, run or look at what was outside.

So I flipped over in the bed in one motion and looked toward the street light and there he was......

It was the Negro man from down the gravel road peeing next to the grapevine on his way to work.

He almost gave me a heart attack!

Thank you for your kind words.

That's a great question. I am a spiritual person, but I'm not religious. If I was going to label myself I would say I lean more towards Judaism than Christianity.

I know there's a God. He has answered my prays many times during my 68 years on earth. In my mind that's a supernatural event, so I don't have a problem reconciling my spiritual beliefs with what happened in Jackson.

I would add that I felt a lot of guilt running from that house. When I pray it's for strength and wisdom when I'm faced with hard times. I know I could have stayed and God would have been my strength again. But to be honest, I was terrified. Prayer never even crossed my mind.

I didn't mention this in my story, but after that night in the bathroom I would hear a man's voice talking directly into my right ear on several occasions. It always happened in the hallway as I was leaving the house to go to work. The fact it happened in broad daylight was really disturbing. The voice was loud enough to startle me, but Kat never heard it. I wimped out and ran, and I'm not proud of that...

I think you're a lot like myself. I like to try and understand things. It bothers me sometimes when I don't get there.
I'm working on two complicated projects now as a result of those traits. I do believe there is sometime penetrable veil between this life and next as I've had messages from my Grandfather and the messages were things I would have never imagined him saying but were so like him. I find myself in awe of the wisdom of Jesus Christ but I firmly believe the Church strayed from his words in several aspects so I don't care much for organized religion especially this nationalist and religious movement in politics.

It is good to be able to unburden yourself of these things.

Have to agree.. Man made interpretation is to mold Gods word to fit the denomination they are trying to develop to build the congregation.. God need not money to spread his world and while it supports the Church and follows in worship its still more than I can recognize in my faith.. I look for Gods word and teaching and the moreI look the more I question.. Its an amazing journey I doubt is ever compketed.. A believer yes and faith, absolutely, but mine may not be yours or anyone else’s and thats fine too..✨💫

I was tested twice, and both times reacted in similar ways.

Both times I was in my mid forties, feeling well, alert. Although this all happened 20 years ago, I recall the events vividly.

Once upon a Christmas Eve Night I was alone in my house at midnight. My wife had gone to a Universalist Church service and she forbid me from going with her. Our sons were out and about. I was cleaning the house after the day's events.

I carried some items down to the basement family room, which is finished and nice. But still, descending down to a basement at midnight is inherently creepy. Sure enough, I detected movement out of the corner of my eye.

I felt my chest do something as my adrenaline flowed and my heart began to speed. I turned my body towards the source of my fright. That was significant. Taking a confrontational stance instead of fleeing.

Immediately I saw a small toy teddy bear across the room in the act of turning towards me. I felt my skin turn to goose bumps and the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Teddy stopped and stared at me, unsmiling.

I walked towards it, thinking "this is IT!" SCIENCE! Observations; temp normal, no odors or sounds...wait...

Is the toy electronic? Does it have an attract mode?

I advanced, no longer frightened (but bold nonetheless), and picked up the toy.

Whew! A three position switch on the bottom. OFF- PLAY- ON.

The toy was in the PLAY mode. I turned it off and went upstairs.

I analyzed the event and decided I felt good about my reaction. One doesn't know how one will react in such a situation until it really happens.

I will relate to you another one soon, and I am hoping to see other's posts of paranormal experiences.
