I know, I know :P why in the $#&% is this video 20 minutes long!?

I was tired, I didn't realized how much I was rambling. And I was way too busy today with other things to spend time cutting it down to something more appropriate. Like 30-some seconds.

For the 3 of you who actually sit through half of it, thank you. For the rest, all you're missing out on is something jumped on me in my sleep. And I don't know what else to call it except a ghost.

It's really been messing with my head.

    it sounds a lot like sleep paralysis, which happens to a friend of mine every couple of months. it's happened to me twice, and it freaked me out both times.

    okay the feeling afterward, not sleep paralysis...

    Hey Leslie :) You mean when you wake up and you arms are asleep? I have that happen quite a bit... my circulation must suck :P

    I know it sounds like craziness - but there is absolutely no doubt what it was for me. There was no talking... but I was understanding / hearing / something clear as someone talking to me face to face.

    I'll never forget it. Craziest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.

    Oh :) Erica just told me what sleep paralysis is - yea, it does sound very similar to that in many ways. I can imagine it would weird you out.

    Wow, it may have been 20 mins but it was very insightful to hear how it affected you. It'll be interesting to see what experience you will have when you go back. But it obviously got your brain into a reflective mode
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 6 months ago
    Hey Tiff :) Yea, it definitely left quite an impression on me.

    I know, it will be strange the next time I'm there - but Erica *did* say that Tony slept there many times after that and it never happened to him again.

    So, it happened to Tony and I both the first time we stayed there... *shrug*

    It also happened to Erica's Dad twice in his life, once when he was 15, and once when he re-married... but I cut that part of the video out cause :P well... it's long as shit already.

    So I think it's safe to assume it's a rare occurrence - and I might never experience it again.

    You need to stop drinking redbull... or you will die
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 6 months ago
    Psh :P Silly - I hadn't had a Redbull that day. Or did I? Hmm... I don't remember. I know I had two on the way back to Ypsi. But I was driving and needed to be bouncing off the walls *hangs head*

  • whoa dude, that certainly is something that wakes you up in life. and yes, i watched the complete video.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    Hey Phil :) Thanks for watching all of it - I know I kinda' rambled... a lot. But yes, definitely, it has really left quite an effect on me.

    I think I've always kinda' *wanted* to believe in ghost and stuff... wanted to see one or just hear things I couldn't explain.

    But this was something so much different than what I expected, or assumed it would be like. It was kinda' great.

    I really want to do some digging, find out if anyone passed away there... Erica's family doesn't know much about the other family's personal history that built it. Maybe I'll never know.

    I watched the whole thing. I poured myself a beer and was ready for story time. I found myself nodding as you explained what happened. I had a similar experience when I was in high school overseas. I wrote it out afterwards because it was so strange. I'll see if I can find the description for you. I felt that I had interacted/ struggled against a spirit.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    Hey Nshack :) Thanks for watching and for the great comment. Yea, let me know if you find that - were you somewhere crazy when it happened?

    freaky!!!! i'm freaked out just listening to you describe it.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    Hey Loonachic ;) No, no - it was scary for 10 seconds. But after that - it was more an experience than being freaked out. It was really moving to be honest.

    Definitely sounds like sleep paralysis to me. It's happened to me twice. The first time freaked me out, I thought I was being possessed (Catholic upbringing) and couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried. Finally I managed to... it felt like breaking free and I jolted awake with my body. The second time I had known what it was so I got through it having known what was happening.

    Seems like yours was in conjunction with a ghost or with some part of your own consciousness. Interesting stuff!

    Perhaps a lesson learned about long-term sleep deprivation + red bull?
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 5 months ago
    Yea that's crazy - that sounds kinda' freaky. If I had half-woken up and was unable to move for no apparent reason - it would have been such a different experience. It would have freaked me out it sounds like for sure.

    But I was no doubt being talked to... I just... didn't hear it with my ears. If that makes any sense. It was as clear as any conversation I have during the day.

    Mike,
    I see you are really feeling regret at your reactions. Don't. What you did was exactly right. What is in the house isn't your friend, and it plays on your feelings to try to make you a willing participant to the night visits.

    I had a whole series of visits from a shade my 5 year old daughter called "the gray man". It had a humanoid shape, it moved from room to room. It also jumped on the chest of a house guest (from China) and terrified him as he thought he would sufficate. It repeatedly would stop me from going to my daughter's room in the night when she cried out. It would come into my bedroom and (I hate to write this but it is important that you know what you are up against) it would force my legs apart and mount me, again like you I would feel the weight and couldn't get out from under it.

    Things got so dangerous that I left the house, put it on the market, and made my mind up I would only sell it to someone who didn't believe in ghosts. He was a salesman and traveled a lot. I think the thing in the house got so frustrated that it set my daughters' former bedroom on fire and burned down that part of the house.

    When I went to the original seller of the house to me, she confessed that that is why they sold it too. I remembered seeing photos of the Pope in each room but just thought they were seriously religious. She said it had also set fire to the home when they were in it and that is why they left it vacant and for sale.

    What we experienced in that house is still with my daugther and I, it doesn't ever really go away. You owe no sympathy to that thing - the dead should stay dead, but sometimes they don't.
