Day !

I will call this day #1 because everything in this journal is insignificant up to this point.

I feel I have to put all this down on paper because it was so weird I didn't want to tell any of my friends.

All I know is that I'm being watched. Mostly while I sleep , but I know I'm being watched cause I have felt it. Last night I got up from my bed to go to the washroom and when I turned on the light and looked in the mirror I saw something behind me and it scared the living shit out of me. It looked like a shadow of a man standing in the washroom doorway leaning there as if waiting to see what I would do. Although I checked the entire apartment after and found that nobody was there except me. Even when I turned around with lightning speed nobody was in the doorway soooo?

Day 2

Last night I was woken up by a loud screaming in my right ear. The scream was so loud my ear hurts pretty bad. I sat up really fast and looked to my right to see the same shadow figure standing beside my bed in a crouched position.

When I got up and was coherent the shadow thing raced toward the wall beside my bed all crouched over like an old lady and disappeared into the drywall without a sound. I could not get back to sleep either. Called police over and they suggested I check myself into the booby hatch , but then just left without even looking around my place first. Typical cops was all I thought to my self and after three hours of late movies and a couple of shots of whiskey and I was able to go back to sleep.

 

Day 3

Last night again I saw the shadow figure in my room however it did not come close to me at all. I woke up feeling like someone was staring at me and I looked across the room and the shadow figure was standing in the doorway to my room. The figure just stood there for at least three minutes and it looked as though it was examining me from across the room , but truthfully I don't know if it was staring at me because I couldn't see its face, only a shadow without a face. It blended into the wall again when it moved and I didn't see it for the rest of the night still had trouble sleeping and am getting a little used to this by now.

Day 4

I had a pretty scary night last night I woke up with someone holding my ankles together at the end of the bed. An old lady was in my room and she was sitting on the rocking chair at the end of my bed smiling at me. I could not scream I was trying and nothing was coming out. The old lady only had half a body and was just staring at me like I was supposed to get up and do something and she was getting impatient with me, but I couldn't move nor could I speak then she raised up out of the chair floating above it then she flew towards me and was on me immediately laying on my back with this old lady hovering above my chest. I could feel weight on my chest as if she had a whole body and was sitting on me. She lowered her face to mine and began speaking, but no sound came from her.
