I SWEAR this has nothing to do with the upcoming Halloween. This is a completely organic post, sparked by a discussion of supernatural events that us three (I and two of my colleagues) experienced in real life.
So my Pathan friend told us that his father died before he was old enough to remember him. His father was said to be very strong and passed away from Appendicitis when he was only 23. Then my friend said that in his native land, it is common knowledge that unusually and naturally strong people do not survive health emergencies. He told us about his elder brother (who he also never got to see) who was only 3 months old when he passed away. One day around dinner time, the family was chatting away like families do. My friend's grandfather pointed to an almost full large jug of water and said, "My grandson is so strong that I bet he can lift this jug right now!". To everyone's amazement, the toddler crawled over to the jug and lifted it right up! A week later, the baby died under weird circumstances, which my friend can't unfortunately recall. He then went on to tell about this woman in his village who was normal in every way. Just a hardworking woman. But one day, she saved a cow who had fallen down a ravine. I don't remember my friend's exact words but I think she threw a rope around the cow's neck and pulled it right up like it was a baby goat. After that incident, the woman also died mysteriously. Now my friend told us something truly fascinating. He said that these people can be identified by their wrist. In them, the radius and ulna bones are fused together!
Then we got to discussing spirits or entities that like to stay in a single place and never leave. This happened to me. The lights of my room were turned off. There was a TV in the room and the remote control was lying on the bed in full view. I went into the room to fetch something. As soon as I stepped into the room, the TV turned on by itself! There was nothing on it. Just static. I looked to where the remote was lying. It was still there. I was completely alone and there wasn't anyone else nearby. Later on, in that same room, I experienced wakeful paralysis (not sleep paralysis because I was just resting on my bed and it happened suddenly and then I couldn't move a muscle. It felt like something heavy was pressing down on my chest but I couldn't move my eyeballs downward to see what it was. I wanted to shout as loud as possible to call for help but no voice came out of my larynx. It lasted about 30 seconds to a minute. Scared the living daylights out of me! Another incident in that same room that I forgot to tell my colleagues but I will recount here: Once we had a blackout. There was ample moonlight coming in through the windows so I went to my room for something. Suddenly, I saw a flash of light under my bed! I went on my knees and tried to see what it could have been but there was nothing out of the ordinary there. After a few years, I went abroad for work and for various reasons never returned to that house that my family was living in. They told me over the phone that things got plenty worse. One day, they saw something menacing written in blood on a wall in the drawing room. They had to work hard to clean it up because it was apparently, REAL BLOOD! They eventually sold that house.
So anyway, now my Filipino friend started telling us about the entity in his room. If anyone other than him would happen to be in the room, strange things would happen. Once he was lying on his bed with all his cousins and just chilling. They were making a video on a mobile phone. Suddenly, they saw a black figure standing in the doorway. They captured it on video but there was nothing ordinary to the shape of that thing. It was complete pitch blackness. A week later, the mobile phone broke somehow and the video became unrecoverable. He also told us that whoever other than him slept in his room either experienced horrifying nightmares or sleep paralysis. And on some nights, he himself experienced a consistent knocking sound on his bedroom window. It had a definite pattern to it. Perhaps it was morse code? But he never bothered to find out. He still has that room so the next time he goes back, maybe there will be something fresh to report. My Pathan friend warned him that it could possibly be a female entity sweet on him and advised him never EVER to take his girlfriend or wife into his bedroom. And so concludes a most interesting discussion I had today. Please feel free to share your experiences and for the love of Dear God, please don't make stuff up. May God bless you all.
