My Strange Experiences [1 of 3]
November 18, 2004
Today in my Japanese lesson, I was reminded of a personal experience that happened awhile ago that I never spoke about here. I mentioned it very briefly a long time ago but never got around to revealing what it was. Perhaps it was because I didn’t know what to make of it or maybe I didn’t want people to think I was insane. Since I’ve established myself as certifiably insane already, I have no more reservations about telling the story. Here it is.
That night I went to bed listening to Coast to Coast AM as I always did. I fell asleep but awoke a couple hours later. I remember looking at the radio and seeing it was 2:00am’ish. I turned the radio back on to catch some more of the show. It was the host…. what’s his name… the one who took over for Art Bell and some other guy… the guest I guess. Anyway, it was two guys on the show only. Remember this point.
I remember it was an interesting show about either vampires or spirits but I was pretty drowsy so it could’ve been about stealing underwear from midgets for all I know.
Anyway, I remember not being able to sleep so I just listened and relaxed. I have a tendency to not stay still so in my normal shifting of my body, I crossed my right leg onto my left. For some reason, I crossed them like when I’m sitting: right ankle to left knee/thigh. It was at the very moment they connected that it happened.
I froze. Literally. My whole body felt like it suddenly slammed onto the bed even though I had already been lying there all night. I couldn’t move. The radio which had been in the background all that time suddenly started fading away. All I could hear now was this strange background noise which sort of sounded like static on TV, on low volume. Then, I could hear two female voices start speaking, only, they weren’t speaking English – I could clearly hear words but it was in a language I didn’t even recognize.
You may have guessed that at this point, I’m freaking out. I had gone from listening to two guys on a radio station to hearing two women speaking jibberish and being unable to move.
What I did next though was I just concentrated and focussed my breathing and tried not to panic. I’m guessing about ten seconds later, I was free. The women’s voices started fading and the sounds from the radio came back on.
My heart was beating at 16Mhz at this point but I calmed myself down and assured myself I had fallen asleep and nothing more. The next morning I pondered about the event in full sunlight and came to the conclusion that most likely I was just dreaming.
But what if I wasn’t?
