You are told that there are no monsters under the bed. And they are not in the closet either. All these are children's inventions, horror stories from cartoons. But what if it's not fiction?
Someone else's hand under my pillow
A story from an unnamed US author.
“It happened when I was a little child. I lay in bed and watched TV. Only me, my older brother and my mother were in the house. My brother and mother were downstairs in the kitchen, and I was in my mother's room on the bed. At the same time, I definitely did not sleep and was not half asleep, as it might seem from the events below.
It was also not something like sleep paralysis and not the moment when I just woke up and had not yet regained consciousness. And naturally I was not under any substances. I was only 9 years old then.
In general, I lay quietly and watched TV. And suddenly I felt like a hand began to move on my pillow. It started directly from the head of the bed, and then I began to feel how it moved under the pillow lower towards my back and the pillow began to rise at the same time.
And I not only felt these strange movements with my body. I HAVE HEARED it moving there. And probably I was shocked for a few moments and only then turned off the TV sound with the remote control and jumped out of bed.
Promotional video:
I ran down to my mom as fast as I could. You know, I still feel goosebumps running down my spine at the mere recollection of that incident.
I am a completely sane person. I went through a medical examination and served in the US Army. I also assure you that I have not lost my mind. Only my mother and my wife know about this story, I told only them."
It looked at me from the darkness
“When I was 7 or 8 years old, we lived on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Our apartment was in a large, densely populated building on the 12th floor. There were two bedrooms, my parent's and mine. One night I had a bad dream (I don't remember what it was about). I got up in the middle of the night and went to my parents' bedroom.
For some reason, only my dad was there, but I don't remember where my mother was. I wasn't too scared, so I went to the toilet afterwards. When I got out of the closet and went to my bedroom, then suddenly something caught my attention. I looked closer and saw a figure in the dark in the corner.
It looked at me the same moment I looked at it. We just stood and looked at each other. I remember that I literally froze with fear and could not move, I could not scream either. But something surprised me. It was the same height as me. Our eyes were on the same level.
It seemed that he was wearing a long black cloak that covered his entire figure and lay in folds around his neck. The face was not visible, only large oval eyes that glowed with red light.
We looked at each other for a few moments, and then it suddenly disappeared from my field of vision and I did not know where it had gone. I was so shocked that afterwards I did what most children would do in my place. I didn't go to my dad, but just quietly went into my bedroom, went to bed and pulled the blanket over my head.
Then I could remember that something seemed to push me into bed and even slightly pressed into the pillow. Then I remembered everything that happened very clearly, but did not tell anyone. And surprisingly, I only thought much later that it could be an alien. At first I thought it was a demon.
Later I met an old woman and told her my story and she told me that it came there for my father and was just waiting for me to go to my bedroom."
Embrace the monster
Mom told me this story, it happened when my mother was a little girl. She was born and raised in a Ukrainian village, lived there with her parents and younger sister Galya. The age difference with her sister was small, they lived together and slept in the same bed - often in an embrace.
One night, my mother's sister woke up and went to the toilet. Mom also woke up, lying with her eyes closed. Then someone next to her quietly lies down on the bed. Mom, naturally, decided that it was Galya who had come and hugged her. True, I thought that my sister went to the toilet too quickly, but did not talk about it, because she was very sleepy.
And then at the door to the room someone will scream! And right after that, the bed bounced, as if someone very heavy had jumped off it (the bed was on a metal mesh). Mom says that she sat on the bed out of fright and sees her sister standing in the doorway of the room, terribly frightened, almost crying.
When she calmed down a little, my sister said that she had gone to the toilet, returned to the room - and suddenly saw that her sister was lying on the bed … and hugging some strange creature! Galya screamed in fright, and this creature immediately jumped out of bed and disappeared.
Here's a story. Believe it or not. In general, there are so many strange things happening in the villages in Ukraine, so many stories have been heard that I personally am not surprised.
