BEN'S STORY

Hi!  First of all, My name is Ben!  I live in Michigan and I am 29 years old.  I have always believed in the existence of ghosts.  My mother told me, when I was young I would sit in a dark room or corner, by myself, and talk to a ghost that haunted our house.  But that isn't the story I would like to tell.  No, this story still scares me, though it happened about seven years ago.

 

     I was 22 and I lived with my cousin, Tracie, in her mom's house.  Her mom lived in Ohio at the time, so we had the place to ourselves.  We just paid her mom rent and split the bills.  It was the perfect singles pad!  Two bedroom, not really big, but sufficient for our needs. 

 

     I worked as a laborer at a factory in Belleville and Tracie worked as a waitperson at a local restaurant.   I worked the day shift and she was a closer at the restaurant. 

 

     One September, night, I was awake in my bed, but trying to sleep because I had to get up early for work.  I was tired, but I couldn't sleep!  Suddenly, I heard the sound of what I thought was the front door opening and closing.  I thought Tracie was home from work.  She usually gets home at about 1am, which was what time it was.  Then, I felt this presence come in from the wall next to my bed, and lay on top of me!  It felt like a thousand needles pushing down on my body!  I couldn't move!  I also couldn't speak or yell, I'm not sure if that was the spirits energy or my fear that caused that!  I dared not open my eyes, for fear of seeing something, I didn't want to see!   Then, I heard it whisper to me!   I couldn't make out what it was saying except two words....." I know......"   Whatever it said, it said it twice,  "I know................I know........."  Or maybe that it knew two things about me!  My heart was pounding, I could feel fear tears in my eyes, and I felt my body tremble!  I finally got the strength to mutter,  "In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you."  I said it three times, the third time, the loudest, which was just above a whisper.  And then it was gone.  I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen, which was just outside my bedroom!   I turned and looked back, as if waiting for it to come after me or slam the door or something, but then, I felt nothing!  Except for my heart still beating really fast, the feeling of dread had left the house. 

 

     It still brings a couple of tears to my eyes, whenever I tell this story, because it is still so vivid in my memory.  I did get to sleep that night, but not before saying a prayer.  I have had many paranormal, unexplained, things happen to me in my lifetime, but never anything like this.  It scared me.  I think that it wasn't a ghost at all, not of a person anyway, I think it was a demon attack.  So, if anyone else has a similar experience, lean on God.... get Jesus to step in, and demons have to obey!  I believe He saved me, and He'll save you too!

 

Thanks!

Ben
