Pinned to my Bed by a Spirit

 

About 10 months ago, in August, I had been having very strange occurrences. Every time I'd go to sleep, I would feel a presence as if someone or something was watching me. There was one night that I was trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't because I heard something else breathing with me. That's when I told my ex-boyfriend, he thought that I was overreacting. I tried to ignore the presence as much as I could, until one night my ex-boyfriend and his friend came over my house at around 2am, his friend said that he thinks the Santeria bracelets [click for picture] that I had on were the reason something was watching me.

He looked at 1 of the bracelets and found that one of the eyes had 2 black dots instead of one. That means that someone had placed an 'evil eye' on me. We burned it and checked if the other bracelet had anything, but it didn't so I left it on.

That night I fell asleep without a problem. I had a strange dream though that the bracelet was still intact. All of a sudden, I woke up laying on my back, which was strange because I had fallen asleep on my stomach and I don't move that much in my sleep. I could hear my brother getting ready for school so I figured it was around 5:30am. Being that early, I tried to go back to sleep but as soon as I closed my eyes I felt something touching my shoulders and before I could even try to figure out what it was, I was pinned so hard that I could feel my bed denting.

I could still hear my brother's footsteps outside my door so I tried to scream but all that came out was a wisp of breath. I began to panic, trying to kick myself free but no use, the pressure on me just increased. I started to hear a strange sound that I can only describe as the sound of wind blowing, it was rushing through my ears, growing louder and louder. I started to feel as if my insides were moving (not painful but not a comfortable feeling either). I felt like it was trying to pull me out of my body. I prayed silently to God to please make it stop, and as soon as it did I ran out my room and went downstairs. My brother was eating breakfast; it was 6:15am.

I checked the bracelet that I still had on again and was shocked to see that one of eyes had 2 dots in it, but when we checked it didn't have anything. I later found out trough my grandmother, who has contact with spirits (not by choice they just come as they please), that there is a spirit (man) that is envious of my body and wants it (an incubus... sort of).

Whenever I let my guard down, that spirit takes the advantage to haunt me in my dreams... He takes the physical form of a friend or family member and has his way with me. He also tried to pin me down again but it never works... All I can say is that ever since that night, I have heightened sense to when a spirit or something is in the room...

For those of you who have had this problem too, here are some things you can do:

1. Rearrange your room (mostly your bed since the spirit knows where you sleep) - what this does is confuse the spirit so it can't find you.

2. Place a small glass of water under your bed (and if not, then somewhere close to your bed) don't be surprised if the water evaporates fast, if you have a spirit in your room that's exactly what is supposed to do. IF YOU SEE IT EMPTY REFILL IT...

3. Place a shot glass of ammonia under your bed (same as #2) - what this does is scares the evil spirits away (they don't like strong smells) IF YOU SEE IT EMPTY REFILL IT...

4. Lavender incense (the real lavender) -it helps you go to sleep.

*The more things you do, the better*

I don't know about that REM state but I really don't want to find out what would've happened if I just laid there and taken the experience. If it was a dream state then how did I hear my brother walking down stairs, and why did I feel as if something was moving my insides... DO NOT JUST LAY THERE AND TAKE IT.

Hey guys... Well I've never been pinned to my bed, and god forbid because it must be a horrile experience but I have been followed for a long time now. I'm 21 years old and from new jersey. I moved here not so long ago, but before that lived in long island. All my life well around 12 13 have felt like something was always there. I useto watch a lot of scary stories so figured I was freaking myself out. When I useto be home alone let me remind you at the time I'm16 and up. I always had this fear of being in the dark, felt like that's when it could actually hurt me. After my mom passed away 2 years ago I was having ugly horrible traumatizing dreams. When I would be home I would feel as if someone was walking closer to me but there would be noone. I would hear a weird noise"if you've seen paranormal activity 3 its that teevee noise the louder it is the closer it is"funny how its in the movie: / when people are coming up to me and I would catch myself hearing it but there would be noone. I thought It was scary but knew I wasn't scared for no reason. When I was 19 20 me and my ex moved in together to my old house. People would say they heard movement upstairs when theyrd be no one home, I figured it was my mother watching out for me. But now I'm begining to become restless once again. I met a girl and she told me a lot about me she's a visionary. She vibed off my vibe on pinpoint. I invited her over one night because when I moved to my fathers for some reason the closet would always catch my attention. I felt as if I was being watched. Well that night she confirmed something was in my closet, funny she didn't know about it. Well my baby brother was in my room sleeping he's only 2, she cried and told me there were a pair of eyes starring at him, I quickly grabbd him and left. There was one night my baby brother was crying in spanish saying like ok that's it nomore"he wasn't sleeping he was awake but wouldn't open his eyes! In my heart I felt I knew there was something there! Something scaring him to the point he didn't want to open his eyes! I was so scared: (I never wanted to get my cards read because part of me believed its part of the devils work, but I had to, I had to know why I feel the ways I do. I soon found out I have a "moreno muerto montao"a spirit of a black man following me. This thing is evious of me for some reason. He only wants to see me suffer. He attracts everything bad to me. Love happiness and peace are forbidden for me. He does things so I can't hold any of those things: (I had a job offered to me a block away my muffler falls off, I lost the job= no money. She told me wen I sleep to always have a clear glass of water next to my bed exactly how she said to keep all negative energy. She told me instead of asking god for things to give him thanks everyday for what I already have. Now the black thing is mine for playing the ouji board! DO NOT PLAY THAT! ITS NOT A JOKE! VERY REAL! It told me it was good and my reancarnation! All it wanted was for me to feel ok and said shed protect me. That she was really a he and that 16 year old is really in his late 30s, it lied it just wanted to follow me. I was told to buy a braclet one with charms so instead of entire braclet following off one by one charms would. I was told I'm very spiritual. But not always good. I wasn't pinnd but I recall one night I don't member if it was a day before or after my mother passed but I had woke up with my eyes open. I was so freakd out because I couldn't remember exactly what had happened. I remeber being above my bed looking down as if I was floating and saw a shadow figure not a woman or man just a being and it was were I should have been laying. Then again for some reason I was laying on my back which I NEVER sleep that way and felt as if I was under it? Till this day I still can't recall what really happened. I have a lot going on being my father married a dominican woman, were colombian so we know about brujeria. Brujeria is like witch magic and I was told by my card teller she has my father dominated, she doesn't love him its just because its what she had to do to get to were she needs. Its what benefits her. As in marriage now citezin. Baby =child support, money but by her doing that is like giving half yourself to the devil and hell want something in return in my room which was my brothers room theyrs a santera on the corner where the closet is, FUNNY RIGHT I wanted to take it out my room but affraid too. I was told were my bed is the safest spot in the room. At times I feel like its going to grab my foot or pull me under the bed. But one night I did wake up with my foot bent felt like someone had it bent down forcfully all night that when I woke up I was in crazy pain to walk on it: (-_- well yea just wanted to share my freaky lifeall I know is I'm not allowed to be negative because it feeds of that, sucks you can't be negative when a lot around you is... Anyone have questions or anything? Hmu:)

Hi
I was just searching for curiosity about being pinned down to your bed. I got that this morning and I have felted before in my life but this time there were some important differences. The first difference was that I was dreaming as usual and then I felt some steps near my bed and then something crowling into my bed. In fact I could say that the foot steps wake me up. The second difference was that I have felt in the past a heavier weigth but this time was not that heavy and I actually told this thing "no leave me alone" (in my mind I think) - I wasn't that scared like other times/ I know I have a great deal of imagination and I watch a lot of movies. The third thing that keeps me worried is the fact that I saw the face of this thing. It was a woman like I said not to heavy but definitely a woman. Dark hair and the thing is that I could see light coming from her mouth and eyes. I am very concerned about this and I was thinking about going to church because I feel I bit lonely in this country. People don't believe in god around here and is hard to express this at least to get some comfort.
Has anyone experieced this? I am definitely going to try the water cause is all I have at the moment. Moving the bed it just scares me more.
Dont know if I have extra free time to think about this thing or what is it but something else is definitely out there. I just would like to know is there is something I could do?. I want to have I clean spirit, amend errors from the past and live my life the best way possible. I am going to call my mom. If someone has something I would love to hear it... I really hope it doesn't happen again.

hi mary jane, thanks very much for your story. I had a very similiar experience last night and searched the internet out of curiousity which brought me here. Thinking about it now, I felt very anxious yesterday, I tried to walk it off but nothing seemed to calm me down... Eventually I went to bed at around 11pm. My dream occurred in two locations I don't recognise... In the first part, I was asleep in a bed in a room and I rem a girl I know was asleep across from me in another bed... (this dream is sketchier than the last) I do remember waking up in the dream and not being able to move... The girl got up to go to the bathroom and turned on the light at which point I was able to move again, for some reason I scrambled for the lamp and tried to turn it on but I broke the bulb... I just had this unfound fear of darkness... That's all I rem of that dream. In the second part of the dream I was lying on my back and I was completely pinned down and paralysed by a weight on top of me. I tried to put my left leg on the ground but something grabbed, lifted it and forced it down on the bed again. I tried to scream but I couldnt. I was really scared and helpless. For some reason I felt as if I was trying to call to my sister (who used to be in the next room when I lived at home) but it was pitch dark and I don't actually think I was in my old bedroom. Anyway I was screaming for help and nothing was coming out. I was trying to pray... Trying to say 'lord, please help me' but the words were coming out all slurred... I couldn't pronounce the l or the p...the first letters of each word. I had a craving for light in this darkness. I imagined myself filling with light and then the entity was gone. I woke up and I was drenched in cold sweat. I thought I might have been screaming in my sleep (I might ask my flatmates if they heard me when they get up!). It was still dark at this stage so I got up to turn on a lamp just to feel safer... Just then I caught sight of a black shadow at the end of my bed... Very strange indeed. I have never had an experience like this before but I have had dreams of being thrown around a room into walls and stuff. Anyway, thanks again for your story.

😨 I thought I only went through that and it was just a state of mind. I especially hate it when I feel the insides moving, at least you don't deal with it anymore. I deal with it alot. But I hope it can stop completely without you using the stuff... Damn incubus.

Oh my Gosh! One night, I was laying on my bed, and I felt as though someone was suddenly on my back, pinning me down! I tried to get up on my hands and knees, but whoever it was was too heavy! So I struggled, and eventually they got weaker and disappeared! I quickly turned over, and no one was there! I don't wear jewelry, so I don't know what that spirit's deal was. It's happened to me only twice before. It was kind of scary. It was like it came the first time and it was really strong, then two nights later, it came back, but it was weaker than before.

Well, I got those bracelets at a 99 cents store but it also sold religious items, so I think it was hexed.
And as for the Water and Amonia, its something my grandmother told me to do I'm not exactly sure where she got it from, but I know for sure that it works. I don't think I explained it that well in my story but the glass of water is supposed to absorb all the negative energy coming from the spirit and the shot glass of ammonia
is supposed to ward it away.

Dear Mary Jane,

That must have been very tramatic for you. I would have been terrified. I have contact with spirits in my dreams but they are usually good entities. I think that evilblackwidow9 has a good point and I think she may be right. By the way how did you learn of the water and the ammonia? Very interesting.

Interesting, very interesting. Not sure where the water or ammonia thing comes from. Never have heard of anyone ever doing that. May I ask where you found that type of intervention at? I know about lavander and also white sage smudging. Like I said very interesting.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you always.

That sounded to me like you had a soul snatcher after you... Where did you get those bracelets?
