So this may or may not have been sleep paralysis, but there was a night this last week where it was very dark in my house. This phenomenon is known as night time. It turns out night and day are mutually exclusive in relation to each other (Isn't science amazing!).
On this particular night, I was watching YouTube, as you do when its 11:30 and you should be asleep, and it got really weirdly dark in my room. I have no idea if the amount of light decreased, but it felt darker. I know you don't know what I mean, but there's a salt lamp in the room that's always on and it was like those stupid movies where they make a salt line to "keep out the evil spirits" or something and the demons get past the salt line because it's literally just a rock except it was an LED that changes colors. If that makes any semblance of sense.
It's also important to note that the darkening was only one event out of multiple that happened simultaneously. The increased perception of darkness was part 1 of 3. Part 2 was the feeling that something was sitting on the corner of the bed. If you don't think that's messed up, you obviously don't have a mattress and should consider getting one. If that does sound messed up, congratulations! You know what its like for your mattress to give slightly when pressure is applied to it's surface! The worst thing about this experience was feeling the corner of the mattress move. The second worst thing was that the bed is my space. Nobody touches it but me. So obviously this ghost/delusion felt entitled to be within my space.
The third part of this was a feeling more than anything. It felt like something just kind of walked into my room and was standing in the doorway. The first problem: I keep the door shut. Bug can squeeze under the door if she's feeling particularly spunky, but we put the pets into kennels at night. The point is there is no way for someone to just walk into the room with the door shut. The second problem is that this feeling of something walking into the room also brought a visceral sort of fear with it. Now don't be mistaken, I am all for visceral fear on a weeknight. Its just not cool when its midnight and you're trying to pretend you're winding down to go to sleep by watching cooking videos on YouTube. The third problem was that this stupid thing lasted for the better part of half an hour. What the heck. You're telling me something is going to come into my room at midnight to stare at me for half an hour and then just leave? I mean, good riddance, but what's the point? Are you going to dark me to death? Are you going to lick the salt lamp? What are you going to do, touch a dress shoe? Play a little tune on the piano? Pretend you're good at art? There's just no good way to justify it. Like "oh yeah! Speaking of how our days were yesterday, mine was pretty good! I watched a random teenager watch bon apetit on YouTube after astral projecting into his bedroom at midnight."
So really this house is haunted by something that's extremely rude, or I'm delusional. This does not rule out the possibility that both things are true. Unlike night and day, these things are not mutually exclusive. You can give some feedback on this if you want but I'm not going to go as far as to encourage it.
Sweet dreams. Try really hard not to be haunted.
