MY ROOMMATES TORMENTOR
All of her life my roomate, "Sean" has been a skeptic about
the paranormal. I'm not so sure if she is anymore or not,
but after her experiences last year, she should be a
believer. This is actually her story, she doesn't usually
talk about it because she is afraid that people would think
she is crazy. I have never really experienced anything
paranormal, though I do believe in ghosts.
Sean and I became roommates our sophmore year in college in
the only dorm on campus that didn't have some rediculous
urban legend attached to it or any widely known deaths in
the building. Except for infrequent nightmares, the issues
didn't really start until late in the first semester.
There was always problems with missing keys and the door
locking, while we were in the shower when we both know that
neither of us locked it, but neither of us really thought
much of it. For a little while I did expect there was
an "entity" in our room with us, but I passed it off as an
overactive imagination. I am sure now that there is
something there.
"It" was never really violent to me, but for some reason it
was always bothering Sean. The first real contact that
Sean had was while she was sleeping. I was frequently
woken up by Sean mumbling in her sleep. Now this isn't
strange in itself except for what she was saying. She was
always mumbling "stop" or "go away" or "leave me alone",
and would often swat at something. She rarely ever
remembered this the next day, but occasionally she would
blame me for bugging her while she's asleep. Despite the
fact that she wasn't sleeping well, Sean didn't think that
there was anything unusual happening.
One night the entity really got violent. It was during the
spring semester and it was a really hot night. The heat
had made us both very restless sleepers (I could tell she
wasn't sleeping well because she was on the top bunk and
when she moved, the bed moved). Suddenly the bed started
shaking violently and I heard a muffled shriek. Sean fell
off the top bunk. I turned the light on and saw that Sean
was pale and shaking. I asked her what happened and she
stammered out "nothing...just a nightmare." She then put
on her shoes and hoodie and went for a walk. I just went
back to sleep. The next morning I woke up and found her
sleeping on the floor. It took a while to get her to tell
me what happened. What she said was the she "dreamt" that
something she couldn't see had grabbed her ankles and
pulled her to the foot of the bed. She thought she had
woken up but she felt pressure across her stomach and it
felt like someone was holding her arm down, she broke free
and landed on the ground. She blamed it on Sleep
Paralysis, but doesn't that effect the whole body instead
of just her arms and torso? If that was scary enough, She
also had a bruise that wrapped around her wrist as if
someone had grabbed it forcefully, and scratches on her
back. She said she must had gotten them when she fell, but
I'm not so sure.
That was the scariest thing that happened. There are other
freaky occurrences but that was the worst that happened. We
now live in an apartment downtown and since then Sean has
been sleeping like a baby.
Sorry this ran a little long, I hope you enjoy my roomate's
story!
