I love this stuff, but it freaks me out sooo bad! I know ghosts can't hurt you, but if I saw one, i would FREAK!!!!

When I was a teenager living with my parents, I was asleep in bed one night and woke up unable to move, feeling like the blankets were being pulled tight on either side of me - so tight that I couldn't move my arms - it was like someone was sitting on me, straddling me between their knees. I tried to scream and no sound would come out. It felt like I was being pushed down into the bed. And then it just stopped.. my heart was pounding a mile a minute....

Another time, still a teenager at home, I was startled awake by something "fluttering" around on my neck. I don't know how else to describe it, I would equate it to like a bat or something being stuck in the crook of my neck/chin and moving around like crazy. I kept swiping at it trying to get it off and I couldn't, I screamed bloody murder and got out of bed and when my parents finally came out I was pacing in the hallway outside my room freaking out (and no, I don't sleepwalk). These were two of the freakiest experiences I've ever had!!!

I don't know if any of you have heard of Sylvia Brown or read any of her books, but she has some fascinating beliefs on life, the afterlife, ghosts and spirits, etc. I read one of her books and it actually described sensations similar to my two experiences above - according to her, your spirit can leave your body while you sleep and basically 'go to the other side and visit' so to speak. The feeling I had would have been my spirit re-entering my body, which is usually a smooth transition that goes unnoticed - I happened to be wakening WHILE my spirit was re-entering my body and so my spirit kindof 'thrusts' itself in quickly and awkwardly, thus my feeling unable to move and 'pinned'. This is just something I've read though -I thought it was pretty interesting to read about something I had experienced actually explained. Who knows... I definitely recommend her book on ghosts and spirits though for those who like a good ghost story. She tells of visiting places like the home of Alfred Hitchcock. Very good read - I read the book in one day, mind you, I also started sleeping with a nightlight from that point on.
