Annoyance, A "Haunting' Which Ain't Funny Options

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleeping_.gif) Greetings ... I have a recurrent 'haunting' which really isn't funny to experience. It does however offer 'proof' of life on other dimensions to an old fool (me) who really doesn't need any. If it were some other 'truth seeker' it might be seen as fascinating or front page news. But for me ... it is an annoyance.

Ever since I was a young child whenever I sleep with my feet out of my bed quilt some unknown force touches my feet; tickles my feet; grabs my feet!!!

This has been occurring on and off for the last 35 or so years. However there have been periods in my life where the occurrence ceases only to start up again months or years later.

For the last eighteen months it has been an 'on' or 'happening' period. It really is no joke. The nights I find the quilt uncomfortable on my feet (which is most of the time) I chance putting my feet out of the quilt (even ever so slightly). I will drift into alpha state only to be woken by something brushing against my feet. The wife is on the other side of the bed and it isn't her. The other occupants of the house are fast asleep and it is not my imagination.

I joke with the wife that it happened again last night.

Recently I have been able to get to sleep with my feet inside the quilt. The cunning 'b' of a haunter now decides to touch my feet even whilst they are in the quilt!!!! And the side of my head now too ....

I have tried communication .... but only get the word 'Baines' which is the name of my old school. The recent spate of hauntings is likely to be an old school bully who is now deceased me thinks!!!

It is a weird sensation too when my feet get touched. Like an electrical pulse or static electric shock which courses through my body ... my nervous system switched on like a christmas tree!!

The problem now ... I am getting slightly wary of going to sleep!!! I know I will get disturbed during the night ... by the unknown touching of my feet. It is not auto-suggestion etc ... because of the times it doesn't happen. It is just something I have learnt to live with along with the attacks I have outlined in other threads (for those who've not read them ... I've been pushed and strangulated and have had a weight forced onto my chest .... numerous occasions often with the awareness of a shadow presence in my room and a flapping noise like wings)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry_.gif) This is not funny!!! And no amount of protection or circle casting or projection stops it. I get to sleep then am rudely woken in the night!!!

I'm not asking for absolution or anything!!! But is there anyone else out there with similar happenings?? Or other hauntings which they wish to talk about??

Happy Christmas Mr Merlin. And yes, similar experience from childhood - several actually but one immediately sprung to mind as soon as I read yours. A cousin of mine used to stay over when I was around five or six and she was three years old or so. She had night terrors so slept in my bed with me and I used to wake up with her arms wrapped right round my neck from behind which felt like I was being choked. Sadly she drowned just before her fourth birthday.

I've had a few experiences with Mary but the main ones are at night - at times during my childhood and then going into adulthood, with that same tight hugging around the neck and at times breathing into the back of my hair too. When I was around nineteen it happened and I'd had enough, so while the sensation was still happening I laid still and said 'Mary if you keep doing that then I'm not letting you sleep in my bed anymore because you're hurting me. Put your arms round my waist or something please.' At the time I was quite annoyed - I hadn't been feeling too good anyway and had a cold and the feeling of suffocation was just TOO much. The sensation stopped straight away and didn't happen at all until my twenties when I was pregnant with my first child.

I kind of missed it.

Then one night I woke up with the gentle feeling of a pair of little arms wrapped around me touching my pregnant belly, and gentle breathing on my back instead of in my hair. I get that fairly regularly still.

So without trying to have a conversation I just made my wishes clear and added a consequence, and it worked. I didn't want it to stop entirely and was even disappointed when I thought it had. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
