This is an experience that my wife had with her son years
ago before I met her. I'll try and tell the story to the best of
my knowledge. She doesn't like to talk about it, and her son now 24 years
old doesn't really remember much about the experience, but it is true.
Her son was about 3 or 4 at the time.They had rented a trailer
and moved in, nothing out of the ordinary, until one day her little
son announced that he had met a friend. His mother wasn't
sure what he meant because she knew that he hadn't met any
kids in the neighbourhood yet. She kind of let it go as children have
great imaginations. He mentioned the friends name "Tommy" and asked if Tommy
could eat dinner with them. She figured out that he had an imaginary friend and
his name was Tommy. Not strange considering a lot of kids have imaginary friends
as children. This is where things start getting weird. At night she would
put her son to bed and close his bedroom door. Some time would go by and she
would be watching TV and all of a sudden hear the sounds of laughter and noises
that sounded like kids playing with their toys, rolling toy cars across the
floor and just the noises you hear when kids play with toys. She would think that
her son had gotten out of bed and was playing. She would go down the hall open the
door only to find her son asleep and the room silent. The next morning her son
said that he couldn't sleep very well because Tommy kept waking him up and wanting
him to play. She asked where Tommy was and he took her in his room and
pointed at the closet. His mother opened the closet and of course found nothing, except
when she moved some clothes that were hanging in the closet she
saw what appeared to be a child's hand print on the back of the closet. The kind
of hand print when a child traces around the outside of the hand with a crayon.
Over the next few weeks at night things started getting worse. She would put
her son to bed and then the sounds would start just after she left the room. By now
her son would not sleep and was getting scared of Tommy. Her son would sit in
bed and start crying for his mother to make Tommy go away. Her mother also experienced the noises and her grandson crying.
It kept getting worse, so bad in fact that when she heard
her son screaming and crying in terror at all the noises from inside
the room she could not get up the nerve to go and even open his door to see what was going on.
One of the mornings after this she asked her son what Tommy looked like. He said
a little boy but he is green. He said that Tommy was getting madder because his
parents were outside the window and wanted Tommy to come with them, but he
didn't want to go because his parents were mean and hurt him. She didn't know
what to do so she went into her son's bedroom and said "is this the window that
Tommy see's his parents through" and her son said "yes". The mother threw open the
window and shouted "Tommy if you can't play nice with (her son) then you have to
leave, you have to leave anyway, your parents are waiting for you." The strangest
thing then happened, she looked at her son and said "where is Tommy now?" The
child looked at his mother and said "he jumped out the window and his mom and dad
have him now." The incidents ceased and they never heard from Tommy again.
