Carry’s Experience:
Whether you are a believer, someone who is experienced or a nonbeliever, I thought it a great add to these articles to include the experiences of my friend Carry. Why? Because Carry has been dealing with this phenomena for years and where she is now, her understanding or emotions, seems very intriguing to me. When she first started out, her story reflected that of many (those who are telling them now on the internet) and who are first awakening or discovering this whole mystery. She has felt the fear that many new comers are experiencing now. She may not have any new answers that can be laid in stone but where she started and where she has ended up, or is now, is a must tell. So I am going to tell it. I decided to send Carry questions and based on her answers we either built on that with more questions or went from there, like an interview because she felt that would be easier.
If Carry typed an lol (laughing out loud) then I included it.
Carry, when did all of this start? When did you first encounter Shadow People or beings and what were your feelings concerning them at first?
I don’t know how old I was exactly, I mean I think I was 19 or early 20’s? I’d like to say I was 13 but I still don’t know what happened that day when we saw what we did. If it wasn’t for my friends who were playing basketball with me, I’d probably say I was dreaming. Another story! (laughs) Yeah, 19 or early 20’s. Let’s just go with that.
And your feelings?
Scared. I thought they were ghosts or even demons. (lol)
Are you religious then?
If you are asking if I am a Christian and go to church, no but I do have my own personal beliefs ya know?
So why demons?
Well (lol), its not as though I knew what was going on. I mean at first you think your crazy and you need meds but then when it keeps happening, you know that’s not it. For me it was scary at first and for a long time after but now I kind of understand why maybe that was.
Ok, so what was so frightening about it? What exactly happened and when was the breaking point, that you knew you weren’t crazy?
My niece was 4 or 5 years old and they were visiting. I still lived at home or my parents at the time. I didn’t see my niece a lot but my brother and his wife were religious. I mean they went to church and everything so I didn’t exactly tell them about what had been happening to me. We aren’t really close ya know? Anyway, I was sitting in the living room kind of watching TV when my niece came up to me and tugged on my shirt. I turned around and she whispered in my ear. “Aunt Carry, there’s a man in your bedroom.”
Oh God, I think that would have given me chills, lol.
lol it did, I won’t lie but it also made me curious lol. I asked her what he looked like and she said he was wearing a long coat and his eyes glowed red and that his hair was long, black and that he kind of looked like a invisible shadow but she could see the shape of his lines, face etc. She said he was in the doorway now, watching us and that was pretty much all she said before her mother grabbed her, laughed her off and blamed it on the imagination of a child.
So what happened then?
Well nothing more was said about it but my niece did more for me then than she will ever know. She confirmed what I was seeing myself only I had tossed it off as dreaming it up.
Did she ever tell you anything more?
No, they lived far away and they didn’t like anyone encouraging her about that kind of stuff. It was funny though because about two years back, they came in for a family reunion and my sister in law brought it up. Suddenly she was open about little kids seeing what adults couldn’t and then started talking about that *man* my niece seen in my room. My niece was like, “really?” She said that she remembered seeing things as a kid but not of what and she said she believed that something scared her which made her stop seeing things. I always thought it was lack of encouragement lol but hey, who am I to say?
Ok so what happened after the niece confirmed the man?
Nothing worth bragging about. I seen him from time to time and something told me he was always there but the times that I seen him kind of scattered out until I wasn’t seeing him at all anymore.
How did you see him when you were?
I would see him standing over my bed, watching me when I slept. I would wake up and then he would be there. Or I would dream, I guess it was dreams, that he was taking me places, showing me things that happened in previous lives I guess? I know that I have never really had ghosts or spirits especially when he was around. I know people always say that their dead grandmothers or whatever would come and see them, visit but i never felt a connection like that to anyone in my family. Once they were dead, there was no reason to visit me. He was the only paranormal activity that I experienced or any link I felt to the other side if that makes sense.
So did you ever find out who he was or his name or anything?
Nope. I kind of gave him my own name which I wont say here. That’s between him and me ya know? I never understood what he was or what his exact connection was with me but later on in years I passed it off as not being able to comprehend it.
What do you mean, comprehend it?
Well its kind of like the sky or grass. How do we know its blue or green? Because we grew up being told it was. That is apart of our reality ya know? So maybe my mind couldn’t comprehend what he was or where he was from because its not apart of our reality lol. Maybe i couldn’t handle or understand it. Thinking back now, I can totally understand that. I mean until my niece confirmed it, I thought I was nuts or needed a padded room. I do know that I never thought he was dead though. Nothing ever gave me that impression and even now, I don’t think he is. Especially later on, when I started researching and investigating the paranormal, having had some other weird experiences, well he just isn’t dead.
Ok, so you said before you stopped seeing him so much. Obviously, because I know you, you started experiencing something. So can you tell me about that?
lol if I gotta but I do have to say that even though I didn’t see him as much, he was there if that makes any sense. Anyway, some years later I got an apartment. I got home from work, went to bed and woke up. I saw a young man standing over me, his head titled down in a hooded sweat shirt. he was just standing there, not really staring at me personally but where I was laying.
What did you do?
Went back to sleep lol. I mean I was fully awake and fully aware but I just passed it off as a spirit or something. I seen him a couple times after that, in the same way but I never felt anything bad from him.
So was the man around at this time?
Not in the way that I was seeing him. I just started seeing other things like the hooded sweat shirt guy. I didn’t know that other people seen him to. I mean I found that out in the past year or so because of the internet lol. In fact I totally forgot about the sweat shirt man until I went searching about Shadow people.
And what made you search out them?
Well after I moved from the apartment, I moved to a house. In that house some crazy things started happening. I started experiencing what you and me call the Twilight. I was trapped somewhere between awake and sleep. The stuff that was happening to me then kind of freaked me out. No, actually they did freak me out. I would sleep with the lights on lol. It was a Shadow but it never took the form of a man but of shadow shapes like once a dragon I think it was. Its shadow would kind of swallow up a whole side of the room or just black out everything over me. And it would literally hold me down, paralyze me so that I couldn’t even scream. I didn’t know what it was but I knew it wasn’t my imagination. The temperatures in the room would change and there would be cold or intense spots. I had a little dog once who would literally bark and bite at the real intense spots. Sorry for that dog but I used to experiment lol, throwing him towards the spot he was barking and biting at. the dog would jump back, get real ferocious and then hide under my bed, growling and so on. Its funny though because even though I was scared to death, it never struck me or really attacked me or anything. Maybe I snapped out of it before it could? It was kind of my own fear of it that was hurting me or at least that is what I think now.
You think it was something to do with the house?
I didn’t know what to think. I do know that I moved about three times after that and it continued. Off and on and I never knew when.
Does it still happen?
Nope. I got determined that I was gonna see it through when it happened again. I would not wake up and I would not get scared. I started to really break it down. I mean what was I afraid of? Was it the energy? That made sense to me. I mean we get kind of comfortable thinking we are home alone so we go do stuff that we normally do. Suddenly we catch something out of the corner of our eye or we feel a presence. Because we are not used to it or don’t understand it, it rattles our minds. I accepted it, in a sense, and it no longer scared me. So it stopped happening. Something new started happening but not the fear and what I thought were attacks.
Which was?
Well lol…I started seeing the shadow people straight out. I didn’t have to be sleeping or well, in Twilight. They would show up and if the energy was to intense, then HE would show up and it would be gone.
Oh so the man your niece saw came back?
Well like I said, I always felt him there but yeah, as far as seeing him again, he came back, once in a blue moon that is.
Alright, so what else changed?
Well about this time I got a computer and discovered the wonderful world of the internet. It didn’t help as far as figuring out what these shadows were but it did help me in the same sense that my niece did…that there were others who were experiencing this stuff. There were a lot of people stuck on the demon notions but seriously, I don’t think they are demons. And I think its their own fear attacking them, not the shadows but that is based on my own experience and what I overcame. So I guess I have no right to say that about them…its just my opinion lol.
This was when you found out about Twilight though, right? Or the technical name for it which is Hypnagogia?
Yeah because you emailed me the information lol. But that was in the past year or so I guess. It’s a comfort knowing that others are experiencing this but its a bummer to know that a lot of people think the devil is playing tricks with them or tossing it off as sleep disorder.
So why do you think this is happening more and more and what do you have to tell them people who are experiencing it?
Well I think that its a mix to be honest of happening more and more and then having a way to let millions know that it has been happening. I mean the internet is pretty awesome. But for the ones who are just starting to experience it, I think its because our minds are starting to open. Maybe the Veil between worlds is thinning. Maybe something has changed that these beings are now noticeable. I don’t really know to tell the truth. I mean if the ozone layer can thin then why can’t a veil lol.
As far as people just starting to experience it, separate your own fear from the shadows energy and how that makes you feel. I swear I believe, I was holding myself back with mine and sometimes I still have to get a grip. the thing is, if people are suddenly seeing them then there is a reason. So try to comprehend that and what you are seeing the best you can.
Ok as far as getting a grip, I think you mean the spiders. That seems to be something wide spread and people are really struggling for answers there. There aren’t many who are giving them a break where that is concerned.
Oh yeah, like I was chatting in a chat room one night when this guy was yelling about reptilians and planet X but then when I brought up spiders, he treated me like I was off my rocker lol. Whatever. The spiders are a new thing and I had a real hard time dealing with those.
Oh yeah lol that arachnophobia thing.
lol well you know me. I never liked em. But, they helped me get over that I think. I started researching some cultures that believed in a spider woman or goddess like the American Indians so I thought maybe there was something connected with the spiders and that. I hope you do an article of all the stuff you helped me find.
Yes, I planned on it. So tell me more about the spiders.
Well I always experience them during Twilight and I don’t see the shadow figures anymore or haven’t since the spiders. They started in the last house I rented and would scare me so bad that I would snap out of the Twilight into a full awake zone lol. Like the shadows, I got fed up with it and decided that I would just deal with them. The last time I saw them, they had spun these thick webs around my hand. My boyfriend said that he actually woke up and watched me waving my hand through the air, studying something on my hand until I snapped out of it, got up, got a drink of water and went back to sleep. I remember what I was doing. In Twilight, its not like your dreaming and can’t remember. I just know I came to terms with it. When I was waving my hand, it was like the web was blowing in a breeze and the trails of it would fade and evaporate. I even remember the smaller spiders which are quite bulky and fat, crawling around my hand and legs. I didn’t freak out though. I just got bored and went into full awake mode. Nothing has happened since.
It sounds to me that you keep going through tests or maybe we can call them that for the sake of theory. The shadow things scarred you until you got a grip on it. Then the spiders, until you got a grip on it. So I wonder what’s next?
I don’t know lol but I am open to find out. I mean, I can never serve any of this up as proof to anyone else but as far as my own curiosity, I am so ready for the next level. Its all so strange to me but perfectly normal all at the same time. I know what it must sound like to other people who have never experienced any of this but to me, its like breathing. I don’t try to force it but when it happens, I hang on every bit of it. Instead of being afraid, I try to experience as much of it as I can. I hope more people start sharing their personal experiences because people like me are always clicking, searching and reading them.
*END*
I personally thank Carry for sharing her experiences with me over the years and for letting me do this interview for my articles. There will be a part three but since there is so much to cover, I don’t know if it will concern dimensions, spider lore or what. I can promise that there will be a part 3 and probably more after that.
