Current mood:  depressed Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
and I am a bit depressed. So I am going to tell a spooky story to make me happier thinking about all of you getting chills.
So, I was 18 or 19 years old and my grandfather had passed away about a month or so before. It was another depressed moment in my life because we were helping my grandmother move out. She had gotten a place upstate NY near where I lived in Wappingers. We were packing up all her things and we had to start packing the things in the basement.
None of wanted to be down there alone. In full daylight, we all got the same chill.
So we worked in pairs and packed the old clothes for the Salvation Army and such. Packed away extra dishes. I got real tired because I worked that day and had a double shift the day before. So I went upstairs to get some rest. My grandparents had a nice house with 3 floors and an attic in Westchester County, Yonkers (for those who know where Crestwood is, I could walk to the train and take that to Scarsdale or White Plains or down to NYC.
Anyway, I went upstairs and locked the door to keep my young cousins from disturbing me. I was across the hall from where my grandfather died. I fell asleep uneasily and tossed around for a while before I fell into an dead snore. At least I think I was snoring but that's not really anything.
I started to wake up when I started having some twisted dream or vision. I started to feel my body wake up but I couldn't open my eyes. In this trapped dream state I was able to move my spirit and sat up on the bed. Looking around this etheral world, I relaxed a bit because it looked just like the room in which I slept.
But that's where the similarity ended. On the desk on the far side of the room stood a bust of my grandfather and this bust began to shimmer. (Stay with me, its about to get spooky.) The face on the bust started to sneer at me just when I thought I was getting some kind of ghostly message from my grandfather. The sneer became a scowl and I (my spirit) started to drift back toward my body. I got bad vibes and felt I needed to try waking up.
Suddenly, the dream started becoming a nightmare as my body was invaded by some dark soul. This other soul looked like a sillouhette of some jagged man. A shadow with saw-toothed edges. It cut into my body and I physically started to feel pain. My stomach knotted up with a cramp. My soul had reached my body by this time and I felt that I had to race this dark enemy into my body. I struggled to get to my body before he enveloped it.
I could feel my legs cramping up and my left eye started hurting like a headache. But I beat him and started up out of bed, fully in control of my body. My muscles ached and my eye was bloodshot.
Get ready for the mind-blower.
I didn't speak to anyone about that. My younger cousins were outside the room pounding on the door. I heard my cousin screaming downstairs to my grandmother that I "was yelling but I wouldn't open the door". A few years later, my mom and I were talking about that time. We laughed about no one wanting to pack up the basement without company.
I suddenly became somber and told her about the nightmare. She listened with wide eyes and after I was done, she told me to go tell my brother, Dennis, that same story. So I did.
He had a nightmare that same night in the room downstairs next to the kitchen. In his nightmare, he was trapped by the same jagged-edged shadow. The Shadow had him trapped by chains. Shackled to another chain held by the Shadow was the spirit of my grandfather.
It was just two nightmares. Nightmares. But to this day, it chills me to the bone.
Happy Halloween! Sleep tight! --> -->
