I have non wired motion activated closet lights in a closet next to our bed.

Last night between 2a-2:20a, these lights went on/off 3 separate times.

I feel I was being contacted. While it was slightly unsettling at the time, this morning I feel quite peaceful.

I feel I've had contact in past but not in this manner

I experienced someone tieing my foot then I saw a cemetery.. and I feel negative

One of my sons who’s 22 claims something touches him sometimes

My other son who’s 20 get chest pain and anxiety of death.. took him to hospital everything was fine..
both my sons scream with nightmares. From day 1 then day 2.. now they don’t even sleep..

This happens anywhere form 11:30-5am

So this was last yr, I was 17 nd going through chickenpox nd that day my chickenpox fever was almost over nd I had gone to school for my final exam nd when I came back in the afternoon, I took a long nap nd then I couldn't sleep on time in the night ofc so I was watching some random vlogs on youtube till 3.30 am nd then I realised that I should sleep nd I went to bed nd my mom was already sleeping on one side with her face nd body away from me, so I took my large blanket nd slept on my spine at around 3.45 am nd suddenly I woke up after maybe sleeping for 15 mins nd my eyes were open nd I could see here nd there rolling my eyes nd ofc a small yellow lamp was on so I could see everything nd I rolled my eyes to my right most side nd I see a woman sittong next to me with grey long thick sliky hair covering her whole face nd she had a white garment nd she was looking at me nd I couldn't see her face ofc bcz of hair nd I realised that I cannot move my lips or any part of body, I tried for 5 mins nd took a deep breath nd finally I was released nd I didn't look at right at all nd slept facing towards my mom hugging her tight....this was my first sleep paralysis experience..

Last week, some friends and I stayed at an airbnb lake house outside of Houston. One night, we were all outside in the back around a campfire. The house had a lot of windows and there were 3 near us that were abnormally low with no screens on them.

While I was sitting at the fire, facing the house, I saw one of my friends, or what looked exactly like her, duck and walk through one of the windows. As soon as that happened, she immediately walked out of the front door carrying food for the grill. The timing was impossible and I thought it was weird.

I asked her “did you just walk through this window?” And she said “no” while looking confused I would even ask that. The reason I asked was to tell her a funny story that happened years ago with a friend crashing through a window once (I was thinking about this story while watching her go through the window) . After she said no, I actually kind didn’t know how to feel. I made sure she wasn’t fucking with me but the other 3 people were next to me and didn’t see her go through the window; they weren’t facing that way.

I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I saw her (or what I assumed was her) physically step through that window. But it wasn’t her or anyone else in the group. I just feel like if I were to see a ghost, it wouldn’t be stepping through a window like that. My friend said maybe I slipped between dimensions for a second. I’m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience.

Hi all,

First of all WOW!! My first post absolutely blew up! I totally did not expect that but I have received tons of advice, encouragement, and positive comments from people who have had experiences with this sort of thing. Thank you for all of you who responded and shared some of your own personal experiences.

So a couple of you said something about the picture I shared, specifically about how they spotted a few things that I missed initially. It is now confirmed that there is something in the trees watching me take the picture. Others have speculated there being a face in the window, and to that I'm not really sure. My wife did confirm that the thing in the woods was something she had seen before, but that it wasn't anything evil. Queue the sigh of relief.

I will put the picture here again, this time zoomed in to the thing in the woods, in case you all missed it. You can very faintly see two eyes and what looks like a face. Even though my wife said it wasn't bad, I can't help feeling a little terrified. The fact that something was watching me from the trees and I didn't notice it is absolutely horrifying.

Anyway, shortly after I made the first post, my wife and I and two of our friends who are also married took a short weekend trip. We were close to Gatlinburg, TN, and the cabin we were staying in was right smack dab in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

Long story short, my wife told me she kept seeing things. Feeling energy. One night we were out on the porch together and I was drinking a beer while she sat wrapped in a blanket. I turned to my right and swear I saw something duck around the cabin. I told her this and she said she felt a dark energy somewhere near us. I was in panic mode. I turned on my phone flashlight and ran to the side of the cabin, hoping to catch whatever it was. Surprise surprise, it was no longer there.

Knowing the Appalachian Mountains, it could have been a number of things: A wendigo (apparently you're not supposed to say that word out loud according to my wife😬), a skinwalker, or any other dark creature that roams the woods. Luckily we were not a witness to the "silent forest," where every noise in the forest just stops. The wind, the bugs, the trees. Everything falls silent, because whatever is near to you is feared enough to make even the trees themselves go quiet. Scary stuff. Luckily I was not a witness to much, but I heard about it from my wife.

I think this will be the last update for a good long while, at least until something interesting happens again. Not sure when that will be, but I hope it isn't soon. Thank you all again for your support.

EDIT: Not sure why reddit significantly downgraded the picture quality but to see the thing more clearly, go see the original post and zoom in on that area. You can see it better there for some reason

Serious question. Do you think faraday cages can keep out ghosts and electro-magnetic entities, demons, energetic parasites, etc.? And if so, could sleeping in a room-sized faraday cage prevent sleep paralysis encounters and/or alien abductions? Someone please conduct an experiment. Maybe just try to use a ouija board or spirit box inside of a faraday cage... Let me know your thoughts!

Hi everyone. I’ve just joined this subreddit because something happened to me that I still can’t explain, and I need to know if anyone else sees what I see.
I work at Longleat. This was Christmas 2022. My shift ended around 7pm. It was pitch dark and thick with fog. I can’t drive, so I waited well away from the Christmas lights and music — I’d had enough of the noise. My mum was late. Really late.
After what felt like forever I walked up in front of Longleat House so she could find me. The second I got there, the air changed. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up so hard it hurt. I suddenly knew I wasn’t alone. The wind picked up and screamed through the trees, and a cold settled over me that felt… wrong. Like something was standing right behind me, watching.
I couldn’t stop shaking. When my mum finally pulled up she took one look at me and asked what was wrong — I was white as a sheet. The moment I got in the car I felt this overwhelming urge to take a photo of the house. I don’t know why. I just knew I had to.
I still think about that night. I’d never believed in any of this stuff before. But whatever was there felt real. Too real. Maybe a ghost from the house. Maybe a child. Maybe something else — I’ve heard the stories about Warminster. All I know is I didn’t imagine it.
The photo is grainy and the fog was heavy that night, but look closely at the area I’ve circled. Turn your brightness right up. There’s something there. A shape. A blurred face. A body.
I’ve worked at Longleat for years. I wouldn’t have taken that photo for no reason.
Does anyone else see it

First 2 brightened photos the others are original.

So I had a dream a few days ago.

In this dream it was like I woke up from a dream kinda dream. But when I woke up I cannot move at all, at first I just shrugged it off, thought I was experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time, but then I felt my hair being played with from behind. And I like to sleep with lights off btw so in my dream my room was pretty dark.

So I was very spooked, like my whole body quite literally was screaming for me to move, to stop that invisible entity from playing with my hair. (My first instinct was to elbow the entity lol) And the entity seemed to sense my struggle cause they tauntingly dangled my hair in front of me, I couldn't see it but I could feel them gather my hair and pull them forward, tauntingly swaying them around.

Thankfully I woke up from the dream through sheer force of will, but when I woke up I was in the same position as in my dream; lying on my side while cuddling a pillow. I got scared for a bit, cause what if that wasn't a dream but something real? My worries was calmed when I touched my hair and found them not tied (in the dream, I was wearing a ponytail).

But I still worry sometimes today, cause what if that was some warning or foreboding? Or some spiritual entity actually playing with me? Cause recently, I've been practicing cartomancy (playing cards instead of tarot cards) in my free time, just a hobby to be honest.

I'm wondering if that dream was connected to the fact I've been engaging in spiritual things, and if I should be concerned?

(Sorry if there's grammatical errors, English is not my first language.)

Last night my husband and I were cleaning up dishes from dinner. I was on the couch and the show we were watching went to the ending credits and started to play music. I heard a loud human whistle and thought it was my husband or in the music of the show until he asked, “was that you?”. We played the show credits back to see if there was a whistle in the music. No whistle. It was so loud and clearly human sounding we were a little freaked. My husband barely “believes” in the paranormal and he seems convinced it was a spirit. We’ve had some experiences in the past (shadows, feelings) but it’s been nearly a year with no “experiences”. I’m aware of much folklore of not whistling back to a whistle outside, but what about when it’s inside your home?

If there’s anything that needs to be cleared up be free to ask! Especially if you enjoy my story. I haven’t written in a while so if I get anything mixed up or it’s confusing- which I’m trying to avoid as best as I can!- just comment and I’ll either edit the post or reply to you.

When I was younger probably around 11 or 12 I wasn’t in the best household with my dad. My step sister especially made it hell for me while I was living there. Despite that there were several times when we were playing with spirit boxes and such out in the pasture of our house. Me, my 2 step brothers, and my step sister had been on the trampoline just going back and forth with this box just asking and answering questions. I had a little rainbow tie dye drawstring back with me-that I can’t remember what it had in it- on the trampoline in my lap. Most of these responses had been really direct.

I’ve really never been one to believe in the paranormal as I’ve pretty much not believed in any religion since I was little. Even when I was maybe 6 at church in bible school or something I just remember thinking it was horse shit. Especially when our teacher was talking about something and everyone randomly started crying. I wasn’t affected at all and she said “Jesus was in the room with us.” Which I found hilarious. Even if he was truly there, like we were taught he always was, why only now do people break down?

Well eventually one of my step brothers, let call him Davin, asked for whatever entity to describe something around us, just for fun. We weren’t truly believing because it’s a box cycling through radio stations, what could it really do right? Well soon after my brother asked that question… it said “rainbow bag.” Sure it could’ve been a coincidence but I’ve always thought it was odd how specific it was. That’s mostly what made me question the existence of the paranormal, whether it’s how it is in the movies, how most people describe them, or if it’s more of a presence or a feeling than anything.

Fast forward a few months from that incident. I was really upset because my stepmom was making all these remarks about me. Not the nicest. When I was in my room, as a kid would, I cried. I was thinking about my mom and my family there. It was visitation and I wasn’t old enough to make a choice. I cried and cried wishing someone were there. And I felt a hand on my cheek, or what seemed like it. I’ve only heard stories about my great-grandmother. I’ve heard about how precious she was and all these coincidences behind her after her death. Sometimes it’d be cards that we didn’t even know we had would show up, various times smelled her perfume. My mom still has the bottle but it stays in her jewelry box. She died when I was 3 and I didn’t remember her at all. When I felt what I did on my cheek, it was weirdly warm, which isn’t really what you’d expect if it was an entity, but in that moment, even though I’ve never really thought much of her, I was certain it was her. Soon after I even smelled her perfume. That’s the only thing I truly remember about her.

Ever since then I’ve always questioned, and I’m now 18, and I keep thinking about it. Thinking about her. I’ve really always been interested in the paranormal, maybe connecting with them if they do exist. And I feel like that may have been what excited my interest in the paranormal.

So last night, around 2am , after studying I decided to do a quick tarot reading. Before I do readings, I like to do a quick meditation to focus on my energy on the readings. Then I did some energy reading exercises. I am very sensitive to energies. Not sure how to explain it but I get into a zone after spiritual practices like this. I went to bed and was scrolling on my phone when I came across a random video of a person explaining about Faeries and about Robert Kirk's story. Mind you, I had no idea before this , about who he was or about faeris. I got engrossed in it and went on to read a bunch of experiences/stories with faeries people had, positive and negative both. I was trying to sleep and for some reason it was hard for me to do so, I was also getting a bit tingly, got an eerie feeling which made me scared. I fell asleep after some time and vividly remember having the weirdest visuals in my dream. I saw a tiny blue light I was talking to, I was basically talking to it right next to a tree in the dark and telling it my biggest dream- getting into a university for masters by research. I am currently doing applications for context but have been unsuccessful and its the only thing on my mind. Soon after I talked to this tiny blue light, I started getting weird visuals I cannot even describe, I was so scared, I couldn't even switch positions in my bed and froze. I woke up in sweat and went to sleep with my mum. I even made an apology to them, saying I am sorry if I did anything wrong. I kept hearing noises after that. I wake up this morning and go outside in the backyard area of my house, we do have 2-3 crows who ask for food everyday but as I walked out, there were at least 15-20 crows just cawing as loud as possible and they were looking at me as I prepared their feed.

WTAF was this ? I cannot decide if its confirmation bias or a legit experience. Can someone please help me decode this ! Thank you if read the whole thing.

Long story, but here is the rundown. We moved into an apartment last December and the apartment is terrible so we are moving. We’re moving because of the apartment complex not the ghost to be clear.

We have had a lot of different experiences with the ghost be it objects moving, lights turning by themselves, and seeing apparitions. We asked management about it when it first started happening and they kinda confirmed something happened here.

We have kinda determined it’s a child ghost? It likes to play with our children’s toys, we have had a guest stay the night and they heard someone say “mom” over and over again while staying in the room which is the room that’s always cold in the apartment.

The experiences have gotten better? My wife seems to think so, but also our toddler son was sleeping on a bed next to ours one night and woke us up screaming while seeming to be dragged under the bed. He’s just turned two so he’s not able to tell us what happened.

So we are moving and my wife wants to take the ghost with us? Thinking what if the next family isn’t nice to them and helps the ghost kid to the transition to the afterlife.

Is that possible to take the ghost with us? Should we?

When I was a kid, I used to see a shadow figure every single night. It was unnaturally skinny and super tall, not at all human like. It wore clothes and had its face covered exactly like the grim reaper, but it had no weapon.

It was always standing there. Blocking the doorway, it never moved. I was too scared to leave because I would have to walk near it.

I really wish I could say this was just sleep hallucinations or sleep paralysis, but this would happen before I even went to sleep or was tired.

Eventually, I switched rooms in the house when I was a bit older, and never had any problems. Except one night when I went back into that room and fell asleep on a couch in there with the tv on I woke up in the middle of the night and seen it again. It really freaked me out seeing again after a few years of peace.

Then, when I would invite people over like friends and cousins, they would hate that room. I never told them the stories of that room but when we would go in it to watch tv or grab a board game they would say that it “felt off” or “haunted”. One time one of my parents told me they felt like they were being watched when they were facing away from the door (they had no idea about the shadow figure).

I’m an adult now, I have no sleep troubles or disorders but I still wonder what was going on in that room. Also, I was not on any medication at the time. Would this figure possibly originate from the land my house is on? Or do they follow certain people? It was really confusing but now that I’m older I wonder if it was trying to protect me somehow by keeping me in the room? If anyone has any similar experiences please let me know too.

I took a few photos of my grandfathers old house last night. Today my mom informed me about a potential spirit in the windows. Any takers?

What are your thoughts/beliefs on dreaming of loved ones who've passed on?

I once read in a book that, we as humans, all have the "6th" sense. However, some of us are so tied up/distracted/"busy" when awake that we can't tap in. First those, its only when we are asleep that the wall comes down so that our mind and all senses are open. Knowing my own chaotic brain + me always dreaming of passed loved ones, I can believe this!

I made a post here a couple years ago, which will give this post a pretty good backstory or what you can call it: the post

After that happened so much more has been going on.

The top floor of our house is one hallway, and then 4 rooms, 3 of the rooms to the right of the hallway when you come up the stairs and the one at the very end. I was sitting my now then bedroom thats placed right when you come up the stairs, and I heard heavy footsteps walk up the stairs. I sing out "daaad" as a joke because I think its him. I hear a mutter right outside my room, a man's voice, and then the footsteps following down the hall and slamming the door at the end of the hall. I get worried that my dad would be mad at me so I leave my room, walk to the bedroom where I heard the door slam and no one is there. This was summer 2025.

Spring this year me and my friends decided that we wanted to ghost hunt, this we did in a barn on my friends property that's been renovated so we can hang out there. We heard a demons name thru the spirit box(I think it was the demon of a ouija board, no idea), knocking in walls. But besides that, not much more. So i decided to take out my digital camera and take pictures, because that's what they do in horror movies! The day after I wanted to show my boyfriend the pictures we took, I put the sim card into my laptop and the pictures are gone, those specific pictures, I check everything with the camera and it works perfectly fine. At this point im not a septic anymore, I had, what was to me atleast, definitive proof. We ghost hunt more times after that but nothing special happens. Besides once after we're picked up, the car stinks of cigarettes, which ive heard is a sign of demonic energy, when Noone in that car had smoked.

2 of my friends decide to make a ouija board, without the rest of us consent. They never use it but after that fhe friend group has a huge fallout and Noone is really friends anymore.

Now to the main problem, my house is definitely haunted. My bedroom is what used to be my parents bedroom and shit has gotten so much worse since I got it. I will hear knocking in the walls, what sounds like someone dragging a hammer across them from the insides of the walls. The sound of people walking up and down stairs, slamming doors. But what made me write this post is seeing a person walk behind me just to dissappear when I turned around, just 20 minutes ago, at 1am, while I was outside. I have kind of accepted that I have spirits around me, ive also made it very clear to them that I have gods protection. This just scared me so bad. Please drop any advice you have. I dont know much about this stuff so I might be wrong about something in this post but I really want all advice. Sorry for any bad English its not my first language.

So last night I went to sleep around 12 am, a pretty normal night. I remember my dream very clearly as I was conscious during it and could affect it. I was in my parents house, alone and it was dark. Not night time, just dark, like all the blinds are down and only a bit of sunlight goes through. There was an apparition of a woman hiding around the house from me. I remember I was going after her like I was hunting her. She would hide around objects and peek at me. When I would spot her, we would maintain eye contact for a couple seconds and then she would disappear. When I finally heard her tucked around a corner wall, I aggressively went after her, tried to pre fire throw a punch but she screamed really loud and she passed through me. That was the moment I woke up. The clock was at 3.12ish AM. Heart rate through the roof. I tried to go back to sleep instantly but when I closed my eyes I could see her face in the back of my eye lids. I doom scrolled a bit until my heart rate went down and then I slept fine.

No alcohol, drugs or even food was consumed long before I went to sleep. I want your guy's opinion on this since it happened to me for the first time.

First of all, I am not a superstitious person, and I don’t usually think too much about these kinds of things. But I’ve been thinking about something that happened when I was a kid for a while now, and no matter how I look at it, I can’t seem to come up with a reasonable explanation.

When my little brother and I were five and six years old, we shared a bedroom. My brother has autism and has always been a sensitive kid. When we were that young, he told me and my parents numerous times that an old man sat beside our bed every night, crying. He wasn’t joking or trying to scare me. Every time he brought it up, he seemed completely serious but not scared. He told me it happened almost every night. The old man would sit beside our bed and cry.

I slept in the same room as him, only a few feet away. I never saw anyone. Not once. I never heard anyone crying, either. There was never anything unusual about the room that I can remember. But my brother kept talking about him. Looking back, I can think of plenty of explanations. Nightmares, childhood imagination, sleep-related hallucinations, or something else entirely. But there’s one thing I’ve never been able to figure out. Why did he describe the same thing happening almost every night, with such absolute certainty and such specificity? And why was it always the same story: an old man crying beside our bed?

I don’t know if my brother was dreaming, hallucinating, or simply experiencing something I couldn’t understand. I just know he believed it was real, and I was sleeping right there beside him, and I never experienced it myself. Does anyone have any idea what this could have been? I’m genuinely curious whether there’s a psychological or sleep-related explanation for something like this, especially since we were so young and it's a pretty odd and specific thing to say as a kid. At least that's what I think. Maybe it's normal for kids around that age to have weird dreams or imaginations.

Hey guys i’m new here but I just wanted to share my friends experience. So my friend and her friends apparently went to a graveyard at night in Savannah, GA (One of the most haunted places in America) to play the Ouija board. They pulled it out and started asking questions you know the whole ordeal but nothing. They attempted more times but didn’t get a thing it only moved once but only a little bit. Does anyone have a paranormal explanation to why this might be? I would assume since it’s such a heavy atmosphere it would be filled with spirits but maybe not?

Like I said this was my friends experience so i may not be completely spot on but as far as i know she said nothing at all happened, and she is someone who believes in the paranormal for sure. But anyways for further details i’d have to ask her.

I live in a village in Sweden and recently a newly laid grave of a man who died in a work related accident has been giving off Eire light and overall vibe when passing by.

This pic was taken of a fire that burned down a house of not so great characters. Check out the demon released from the cleansing.

A couple of years ago I used to work at a haunted restaurant. I have no idea why it would be haunted, but several employees including myself have had unexplained experiences. The most notable experiences I've had were:

1. An unexplained blue glowing mist in the pitch black soda room accompanied by an overwhelming feeling of unwelcomeness.

2. A plastic drink glass falling backwards on a shelf that was obviously leaning forwards (I did not push it)

3. Several instances of what sounded like someone calling my name over the ambient noise of the restaurant that nobody owned up to

4. A sound that I can only describe as a person jumping and landing on the sidewalk behind me when I was the only person outside

5. The loaded tractor trailer that we used as a storage unit and break room shaking when nobody was inside it.

And finally

1. An apparent poltergeist that followed me home and ripped a Christmas garland off of my wall that had been there undisturbed for over a week. You could tell that it wasn't simply the adhesive failing because you could actually hear it being ripped off from across the room. My dad rehung it and it didn't move again until we took it down like 2 weeks later.

It has been almost 3 years since I stopped working there and I haven't had a single paranormal experience since. It is truly baffling.

So there's this trend where you make a sign of fox and make a window through it and people claim that this trend made them see ghosts, spirits or urban legends well I don't believe in ghosts because only thing that remains after a death of a body is the energy or the soul in mythological term but it can kill harm or even touch you since it isn't a physical body. So I was going through a road which was covered by trees and only there was farms and bushes since it was a remote area. It was niht and I was with my 2 friends and 1 of them believes in ghosts because he claimed to have seen one so I told both of them about it and that friend said "don't try it don't joke or play with supernatural or paranormal practices" I made a joke but the other friend still smh agreed with him since he FAILED science. So I tried and I did it properly and looked around me and in bush ig 40 meters away from me I don't remember but I saw something I told that "hmm there is something over there I guess" My friends overreacted like they were gonna die but I ignored them and tried to look and that shadow thing but because it's night you can't trust black "figures" But when I reached near that area my friends tried to stay quiet but I still wanna figure out like a dumbass and when we reached there I saw nothing. I thought it was hallucinations of mine but then something moved i dont know was it but it looked like a human. I wasn't scared of it might be a ghost but it can be a cannibal, criminal or anything I ran as fast as possible and my friend didn't see it but since they saw me running they ran faster than me and after running for 2 minutes my body wanted to give up but adrenaline kicked smh so we ran until we reached our society area. My friends we're scared and I was more scared because I saw it with real eyes and I could tell it has a weapon. Ever since that I still don't believe in ghosts but I DON'T go to that remote area ever

Two nights ago I fell asleep on top of my made bed and my tv remote control was next to me. When I woke up in the morning, I could not find the remote. When I got home from work, I tore my entire bed apart down to the mattress - no remote. I looked under my bed, in my drawers, in my closet, in my shoes, everywhere. No remote.

This morning I got up, made my bed and went down to the kitchen. After I had my tea, i went to get ready for work and there it was - the remote was lying on top of my bed, exactly where I left it. I am completely bewildered by this and it’s kind of freaking me out. Could it be paranormal? No one in my home was awake yet and after they woke I asked them if they were messing with me and they all deny having any part in it.

My grandmother did die in the house but I’ve never had anything weird happen before.

What do you think?

Hi! Posting here because it's something that intrigues me and a bit ashamed of sharing it in my circles

I am male, had 26 years at the time.

2021, pandemic going on, everyone hiding at home, had a breakup of a long relationship (7 years) 6 months before and was horny and hungry for sex asf. I was really rusty in flerting abilities, my appeareance was lacking, low on money and with the pandemic had to rely on dating apps and old affairs, my attitude was good for nothing at that moment. None was working.
My routing was work and studing from home and playing video games, I went back to MMORPGs because it was fun, kind of a time sink and provided me some contact with other people.

In a common day after a few hours playing with friend I went to sleep.

At some moment in that night I woke up, opened my eyes and saw my room iluminated by the big city lights coming thru the window above my bed, I couldn't move and was EXTREMELY EXCITED, it even hurts and couldn't move my body. Ok, sleep paralysis (a bit weird, most time I can't open my eyes), not my first rodeo, started to try to break it by trying to move my fingers, toes, tongue and making noises with my inner throat.

But this time something started going on, I felt a chill going up my spine, the air gets COLD, the light that entered thru the windows diminishes, now it's darker. Felt a big weight over my groin/genitalia, I was aware of those kind of things and the very thing that went in my horny mind was "nice, im going to fuck something".

Thru that little light that was left I saw a dark mass taking form over me, coming in my direction, narrow shoulders, neck, head with straight and shoulder lenght hair, the weight is now heaviar and starts to spreads, still coming in my direction and covers my face, now I can't see anything, only darkeness and some light thru that thing hair strings, the weight reaches my neck and I start to suffocate.

I try to fight but still can't move, now is even colder, in my mind I could only thought about "waking up", not a single inch of my limbs was moving, only my mind and eyes seemed to work. Now I close my eyes and ask that thing to leave, several times, I'm running out of air, eyes are getting heavy, ears are now buzzing. Asking nicely won't work.
I started to try to demand it to leave in my thoughts and that had no force there but I was never able to complete the thought, it's always interrupted. I try over and over, each time I try to it in a more strong manner and with vehemence as if I was shouting it in my mind. The weight is heavier and heavier, now with my last breaths I finally manage to complete the sentence: YOU'RE WEAK, YOU HAVE NO FORCE HERE.

Suddenly I'm kicking and punching in my bed, I'm awake, there is nothing in my room, bed sheets are at my feet. None of the damn 3 cats are there.

I get up, go to my mom bedroom, she is asleep unbothered, went to the bathroom, use it with extremely difficulty since I still had a boner, drink some water, smoke a cigarrete thinking on wtf has just happened, grab one of the cats and go back to sleep.

The night is over, nothing like that ever happened to me again

Cut to a few years later, I was struggling a bit with mental health, self steem, money, etc and started attending to Macumba, be it Umbanda, Candomblé and Quimbanda (I'm from Brazil, summary, religion/sect with african roots mixed with catholical stuff, relying heavily on offering and contact with spirits of the dead, those spirits have several ranks) always being kind of skeptic with all due respect.

That ex gf is aware of my situation, reaches me and invites me to a session/consultation with her people, she was starting this jouney before we break up. And I went there.

During this consultation, I briefly mentioned the experience and the medium (we call it a horse), while incorporated with a Exu Caveira (Spirit of a long deceased catholical church priest, one of his latest incarnations), said that someone tried to do something against me, probably some kind of sorcery to have me in love but my saint (here Exu calls it a Demon) was stronger, if that sorcery worked I would probably be at that person feet. I asked him for general protection and health for my family, paid my respects and offerings and left a bit after speaking to the people there.
When leaving I rememebered something, this ex gf didn't took our breakup nicely, she insisted several times in that 6 months time frame, she even called me fully drunk some nights and went to my home once (also drunk) tring to tie our relationship again, as I said, she was already into this kind of religion.

Now, this was a dream/nightmare? Someone tried something against me? Coincidence? Just attracted some spirt due to my horniness?

All other experiences (very few) that I had were much more "light" and none of them attempted against me

Would like to know what you think about it, similar experiences etc

If you have any doubt about macumba, let me know, I'll try to make it clearer for you
Thank you for reading! <3
