It Choked Me This Time

Sorry for being missing for too long and a special apology to my friend Pendragon because I didn't post my sister's experiences (the ones at her school) as I promised to. Don't worry I'll make sure I keep my promise. A lot of time passed since, and within that period a lot has happened to me as well. A few paranormal things have happened at home recently, especially to me. It happened quite a while before I get to record this happening here on this page. However, one thing I can remember about it. But in this submission, I'm only going to write about only one of those experiences.

It was on a weekday, because my other siblings were at school. My parents woke me up that morning, it was around 7 a.m. I think. I was pretty sleepy but I got up anyhow, and joined my parents to watch the television together with them. When the show was over after a couple of hours, my parents went to their bedroom, living me alone. I was lying on the couch when they left. I was still drowsy (probably from staying up late the night before, watching my favourite show) and decided to nap there. I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep. I was just half asleep because I could still hear my parents talking in their bedroom. I wasn't thinking of anything, nor was I dreaming, I am sure of that to this day. While I was just enjoying lying on the couch with my eyes closed. Suddenly I felt someone (or something) press my neck. It's not that I couldn't breathe or anything, it wasn't like it was pressing my windpipe. It felt more like something was holding my neck tightly, that I became panicked (who wouldn't?). I started to struggle, but as usual, I couldn't move. I couldn't even open my eyelids. I struggled to speak, trying to ask for God's help. My tongue was numb, I couldn't feel it. But after a few seconds of struggling, I finally managed to get the words out of my mouth, and I could move and open my eyes. The pressure on my neck was gone. But then, I started asking myself, did that really happen? I decided to ignore what happened, and let it off as a vivid dream.

After a few seconds of being awake, I drifted off to sleep again. The same thing happened, no dreams, nothing. That time, I was also half asleep, being able to hear my parents talking in their room. Soon enough, I could feel a pressure on my neck, at the exact same place as before. The whole thing repeated, I couldn't speak, yet I could breathe and couldn't even open my eyes. I did the same thing, asking for God's help to protect me from whatever was harassing me. What happened next was the same as well, I opened my eyes, but this time I started to think that this wasn't a dream. I decided to confirm it. I decided to wait, with my eyes open, if the same thing would occur form the third time. I waited, lying in the couch, alert and ready for anything coming my way. I was even ready if the thing would appear to me in bright daylight. Not long after, I felt my neck being held, in the very same way, and I couldn't move, again. Everything repeated itself, except that for this time I was wide awake, with eyes wide open. However, I saw nothing unusual, only I could feel the pressure on my neck. I repeated my prayer to God and within less than a minute, I slowly became free of that thing. The moment I could move, I sat up on the couch, and thought about what happened. I was VERY sure that I wasn't asleep; I was wide awake and alert. I looked around for a while, and then I walked into my parents' room (the door wasn't close for privacy) and joined my parents for a chat. I told them what happened earlier. My dad seemed sceptical (he has always been), but my mom paid serious attention to me. She believes me (this is one of the best things about my mom) and told me to read verses of the Koran daily to prevent this from repeating.

Whatever it was, I hope it will never do the same thing to my family member.
