I think the devil was in my room…. No seriously.

I have always had a hard time sleeping. I roll around and can never get comfortable and my mind decides to turn on right when I am about to put my head on my pillow. About two nights ago I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep, but I kept getting this feeling that someone else was in the room with me. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling and I felt a little uneasy. I obviously turned on all the lights, walked through my closet and into my bathroom and checked everything out - there was no one there. I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me or maybe it was just me being scared of the dark because I am. I laid back down, turning to my side to try to rest and get comfortable, but right when the lights went off I felt discomforted again. This time I ignored it trying to fall asleep. About ten minutes later I caught a glimpse of a shadow behind me of something unrecognizable and to get the picture right… imagine someone pulling the top layer of your blanket off of you when you are sleeping and quickly tucking it under their arm ( it looked like that) anyways… I saw the shadow and as I slowly turned around I saw it pulling something away like it was taking something out of me (like what I just described) and then it disappeared. All of the sudden I got this feeling of emptiness. I have never had anything like this happen before but I felt bare and empty. I turned the lights on again right after it happened and nothing was there, but whatever it was, it left me feeling empty and obviously a little anxious. I tried to sleep that night but after that incident, every time I laid my head on my pillow I felt completely lost… almost like I was falling and spinning out of control.

This probably wasn’t what you were expecting and usually I would keep this to myself, but it was just so weird and I wanted to share. I promise something happy will come next!
