Out of Body Experience

As a child I always had those nightmares like most of us had. My most unforgettable encounter is an out of body experience. That idea of separating your body from your soul and being in one place. I don’t know how I did it or how it happened, but it just came to me not just the first time, but also the second time and a third time. I don’t know if this is only lucid dreaming, but the experience is just real. I’ll be sharing here these three (3) experiences with that unknown realm. This post is my first ever entry here in steemit and will be also my entry to @jerrybanfield's Supernatural Writing Contest.

First: The Two Orbs (year 2006) – 12 years old

It was night. I was lying in my bed, lost in my thoughts. All I remembered was that I’m looking at the ceiling. But in one blink of my eyes everything shifted. I was above my own body separated and was floating inside my room. The experience was confusing. I am seeing my room the same way before I fell asleep but in a different state of consciousness. I don’t know what came to me that I went near the door. I just felt that I must go out but suddenly the door opened and saw two white orbs. I was terrified because they’re coming near me, out of fear I dived back to my body, but I remembered one hand came out from one of the orb and grab my left shoulder, it was dead cold. I tried resisting because they’re dragging me to the door. I thought they’ll be able to take me until another shift of consciousness happened, I was inside my body this time but couldn’t move it. How I escape the orbs? I didn’t know either, all I remember is that I was desperate to go back to my body. But being unable to move my body is another thing I just felt that I am not yet totally connected to my body and that anytime the orbs might drag me out. So, I tried to move my head, it took seconds maybe before I was finally able to move it and get out of bed catching for breath. I couldn’t get to sleep again that night. I am afraid that I might experience the same and not being able to go back to my body or me taken away from my body.

Second: Finally roamed the room without the entities (year 2015) – 22 years old

I was sleeping already that time in the same room Nine (9) years ago. Then suddenly I was awakened in the middle of the night. It just felt weird my mind just woke up. So, I tried to get out of my bed. I even went to my study table and roam the room for some time. I was about to sit on my study table when I realize that somebody was in my bed and to my surprise it was me. I remembered what happened nine (9) years ago. I don’t know but every time I look at the door a part of me wants to hold the knob and see what’s outside. It feels like it’s calling me. But I’m having second thoughts remembering to be dragged by those orbs. I remembered how cold that hand felt in my shoulder. I was afraid that somebody might dragged me again. This time there was already that insidious movie. I watch some of it but so afraid to watch it fully knowing that I’m having the same experience. Which added up to my fear, so instead of twisting that knob I went back to my body, followed its position and went back to sleep. I’m afraid I’m seeing another thing again. That this time I won’t be able to go back, or my body might be taken away by another spirit.

Third: Touching a dead body (year 2015) – 22 years old

I was awakened from sleep that time in the same room. I couldn’t move my body. You might say that I was only having sleep paralysis but for me it’s more than that. Whenever I had sleep paralysis I know that I’ll separate from my body, I mean it always end up to that if I don’t fall back to sleep. I’m also afraid that if I open my eyes I’m going to see something unknown; an entity or anything, so I never opened them and just tried to fall back to sleep. For some unknown reason I awakened again, or my mind awakened again, but this time I found myself already sitting in my bed while I’m seeing my body lying there. I don’t know what came to me. I don’t know why but this time I stood up out of my bed and went directly to the door. I don’t understand why but it feels like the door is somewhat calling me. It was already morning that time. I can see by the lights coming through the windows. I was about to hold the door knob and open the door. But I touched something else. It was cold. Dead cold to make me look up and found out that it was a hand of a dead woman hanged upside down. Her head was near the door jamb, but I couldn’t see her legs. Her hands are hanging on the wall. Though her face is not like in the movies where decaying flesh are shown. She was so pale and cold. I was horrified by what I saw. All my life I never touched a dead person. All my life I never thought it to be that cold. I ran back to my body to my bed and forced myself to fall back to sleep again.

Actually, I saw a ghost in my room days before my third experience. It was a woman, she just appeared in front me. She’s decaying and muddy. Wearing some white nighties but appeared brown due to mud. She was floating. Well I can tell cause she’s in front of me staring directly at me. We made eye contact but slowly she’s becoming more transparent. I will not describe her eyes they creep me out. I don’t usually fear ghost, I only fear them when I become like them.

….. I don’t know what’s outside that door. There was always that curiosity in me. What if I went out? What if I discover something else outside that door? I am somewhat enjoying already the experience despite the appearances somewhat I became interested to these things.
