Latest / Shallow Nights: Scary Bedtime Stories / Guardians of the Unseen World - Scary Paranormal Story
Transcript
- 0:04My story starts out rather normally.
- 0:07I guess it's because I grew up normally at first.
- 0:11I guess some would call me sheltered in my earlier years,
- 0:14but that's no crime. I had my friends.
- 0:17I went to a somewhat small school in a predominantly rich
- 0:21white neighborhood. We weren't Snooty or anything,
- 0:25but just sheltered. I didn't care.
- 0:29I came home one day to see my mother in tears.
- 0:33I instantly thought the worst, but I was wrong.
- 0:37I guess I got that from her, always thinking the worst had
- 0:40happened. It didn't seem so bad.
- 0:44We were moving. I was told I didn't know
- 0:47anything about good or bad areas.
- 0:51Like I said, I was sheltered. Apparently there were things
- 0:55they were not telling me though. In a week I went from my cozy,
- 1:00friendly, upscale neighborhood with a small school where
- 1:03everybody knows each other to a number school that had bars on
- 1:07the windows and guards at the doors.
- 1:10To this day I think the other kids could smell the fear on me.
- 1:15My first week found me getting mugged and bullied about 6
- 1:19times. It's been a while, I don't
- 1:21remember exactly. Whatever the number, it was a
- 1:25bit traumatizing for someone like me.
- 1:27As a kid, I withdrew harshly. I didn't seek out human
- 1:33interaction, didn't want anything to do with others.
- 1:36As far as I knew, life was over. I wanted to go home. 10 months
- 1:43of no interaction would make people go crazy I guess.
- 1:47I assure you that was not the case.
- 1:51They say children are more susceptible to spirits and
- 1:54ghosts and the like. There's no real proof of that,
- 1:58but all I knew was that I needed someone.
- 2:01I was too far from home and lonely.
- 2:04I remember nights alone in my room, wishing for someone,
- 2:07anyone to talk to. Perhaps that was what drew her
- 2:11to me. Or should I save what drew us
- 2:13together? No normal person would welcome
- 2:16the interaction of something as scary as a ghost, especially at
- 2:20my age, right? It was faint at first.
- 2:25I called for someone and felt a coldness on my shoulder.
- 2:29I'd place my hand on it and feel someone with me.
- 2:33It got stronger the more I tried to interact.
- 2:36Maybe my desperation made me more open to that sort of thing.
- 2:41I called, more and more excited that someone was able to listen
- 2:45to me. I heard it.
- 2:48Barely. A girl's voice.
- 2:52I'm here with you. It was an eerie whisper, an
- 2:55eerie voice, but it was the most comforting thing I've ever heard
- 2:58of someone in that position. There was something about her
- 3:02voice that reminded me of everything I'd missed from my
- 3:05real home. After days, her voice became
- 3:09clearer. I spoke with her as I would
- 3:11speak with someone I've known for years.
- 3:14I told her my problems, my pathetic, childish woes.
- 3:19I guess as petty as they were, it created the despair inside of
- 3:22me that she wished to alleviate. We finally moved back near my
- 3:28original home. My parents were worried about me
- 3:31and somehow got us back to where we lived, back with my old
- 3:34friends and the like. Have you ever been so immersed
- 3:38in something new that you almost become obsessed with it and
- 3:42ignore the rest of your life until you figure it out?
- 3:46Well, that's the only way to explain it.
- 3:49She came with me, and I didn't need anyone else.
- 3:53I was determined to grow closer with her.
- 3:56I'd shut off all of the lights, sit alone in the dark as I tried
- 4:00any way I could to see her. The faint glow of a poorly
- 4:04sealed door leaked through. Eventually, I saw it.
- 4:09It was like smoke, but it seemed to be attached to me.
- 4:13I saw her. I felt like she was an Angel.
- 4:17The adoring companion that got me through such a hard time was
- 4:21beautiful. I felt blessed.
- 4:25I'm sure you're expecting her to be some sort of demon, but
- 4:28that's just not the case. I know her as well as I know
- 4:32myself, skeptics be damned. I've seen something worth
- 4:37fearing, though. It's the reason I'm here today
- 4:41telling you my story. Something I've learned in my
- 4:44discussions with her is that possessions are real, but not
- 4:47exactly in the way movies depict them.
- 4:50You'd never know someone was possessed.
- 4:53Perhaps someone close to them would sense something was off,
- 4:56or sense a change in personality, but possessions are
- 4:59really quite silent. They happen when a ghost, if you
- 5:04will, become so upset, so unaccepting of their own death
- 5:08that they'd kill to have even a taste of life back.
- 5:11One must be so hateful, so envious, that their very eyes
- 5:15are said to turn a sickly green. I've seen it.
- 5:20I refuse to believe that my connection with her attracted
- 5:22the very ghost that desired my flesh, but I wouldn't care if it
- 5:27were true. It happened, though.
- 5:30Another ghost. I didn't feel the sense of
- 5:33astonishment I felt with my ghost.
- 5:37It was fear. Of course, I wasn't familiar
- 5:40with the true details of possession, but when you see a
- 5:43ghost with piercing, disgusting green eyes, you don't care to
- 5:46find out what it wants. I don't remember much else about
- 5:50what it looked like aside from that main detail.
- 5:54It was large both in height and width, but shapeless.
- 5:58There was no human figure to it, nothing even resembling anything
- 6:02I've seen before. It was amorphous, but constantly
- 6:06changing itself aside from the eyes.
- 6:09To call them paralyzing would be an understatement.
- 6:13I didn't feel myself getting sleepy.
- 6:16I felt myself dying. My every sense, every emotion,
- 6:21every thought was being dulled. It was as if everything about me
- 6:25was drowning in a black lake, like a car failing to start.
- 6:29I felt my life begin to flash before my blackening eyes,
- 6:33before the visions decayed into nothingness as my vision dimmed
- 6:38to the point where nothing was visible, the last thing I was
- 6:41somehow able to remember was her light was the next thing that I
- 6:46saw. It was through my closed
- 6:48eyelids, but I could feel again like taking a deep breath after
- 6:53being underwater for so long. Everything felt vivid.
- 6:57I felt my own hands, my face and looked around.
- 7:01The evil spirit was nowhere to be found.
- 7:05I only saw her, my own guardian Angel.
- 7:10I had never been so happy, so full of life, just seeing her
- 7:14there and knowing somehow that she had saved me.
- 7:17I asked what happened and she educated me about possessions.
- 7:22The bond between us kept anything from claiming me.
- 7:26At least, that was basically how she explained it.
- 7:29All I know is that I'm safe and feeling more alive than ever,
- 7:34and it's all because of her. I may never be fully able to
- 7:38lose the fear that tainted me that night, but it also allowed
- 7:41me to experience things in ways I've never felt them before.
- 7:45It simply feels good to be alive as I sit here telling you this
- 7:51tale. Trembling at certain haunting
- 7:53parts, she stands behind me. Her hand on my shoulder steadies
- 7:57me through the chilling memories as the words appear on my glossy
- 8:01screen before me. I can see her reading the story
- 8:05as I share it with you in my own words.
- 8:08The reflection allows me to look up occasionally and see my Angel
- 8:11chasing the freshly appearing words with her eyes, her sickly
- 8:16green eyes.
