strange happenings....

it started with an invitation to house sit on mercer island for a friend of my neighbors. i jumped at the chance to have a little peace and quiet and room to myself. it started with her cat milo and his loud meowing in the bedroom. the sort of meow that is heard when a cat is very adament about being fed. i went into the bedroom only to find the cat hiding under the bed. the first night i fell asleep there i don't actually remember laying down and going to sleep but i had vivid dreams all night long about trying a red hooded dress on and not being able to figure out how it is supposed to be worn. when i woke up in the morning i was asleep on the couch. i walked into her bedroom to find the same red dress i had been trying on in my dream laid across her bed while one of the lamps in the corner was knocked over and the shades on two of the windows had been adjusted. i was baffled and shocked. i have never ever sleep walked in my life yet i had this very vague recollection of what had gone on in the bedroom the night before. the day went on and i went on with my sewing and watching tv. this would be punctuated by milo wandering into the kitchen and protesting loudly to no one i could see. i got the very distinct feeling i was being watched. none of the curtains would go down all the way and i just had this distinct feeling that someone was looking in. cubboards in the kitchen would open. the cat food was moved. drawers opened. i didn't know what to think. at one point i left to get out for a bit and upon returning couldn't find the key. i dumped everything out. no key. i began to panic but when i look down one last time i see the key sitting right in the middle of where i had just been sure there was no key. i am blown away but frightened. once inside i begin to have a panic attack that hits me so badly i begin to hyperventilate and call 911 afraid of passing out. i also call my parents to please come get me. i accidentally took two doses of my muscle relaxer and that intensifies my panic. i go down to meet the medics and they stay with me until i am calm. my dad is on the way. i go back up to wait for my dad and get my things together and when i go into the room things have been moved around. i step out the door and turn around to see the blanket is now in a different position and it looks like someone is sitting under it. i panic and my dad finally shows up. i gather my things and babble nonsense all the way home. at home things get worse. i go into my room and i put my sewing supplies into my desk but the desk begins to shake violently. the only things that fall are my sewing trims. as i pick them up i notice the plastic wand used for opening my blinds is moving back and forth as if someone is tapping it. my parents assure me i am having hallucinations from a overdose of my muscle relaxer. i agree. sort of. i go ahead and fall asleep exhausted after forcing my mother to sit up with me. the next day i am trying to convince myself that its all in my head. i have pretty much gotten over the whole thing until i begin hanging a poster up on my wall and the corner of it is pulled violently toward my dresser as the large pieces of packing tape i have stuck on the edge of my desk all flutter to the floor. the rest of the day is quiet. i get ready to go to bed around midnight. i turn the light in my room off and as i turn over to go to sleep i see this black misty shadow curl through the corner of my window so i flip the light on. it is now what looks like a mist hovering in the corner. i see little balls of light bounce off the walls and across me. they look like reflections but there is nothing in my room that could be causing this crazy hyper little balls of light. i grab a notebook and begin writing down everything that has been going on and as i do this i notice the light to my right begins glowing brighter and brighter until my entire room is bright. the entire time i am feeling my bed tremble in a very low rumble. the same way i would feel the couch rumble over on mercer island. it was very obvious while also feeling subtle. i watched the mist hover up near my ceiling as i wrote everything down. i felt a prressure on my hand as i wrote and i wonder if that was just nerves, while the light bounced on me i felt a cool breeze . i began praying after i finished writing and a peace just came over me. i felt calm and was able to curl up and fall asleep. when i woke up i felt the energy was gone. i have done some research and feel as if i had a very intense encounter with something i cannot explain. everything has been calm. bitsey began wagging her tail and whining at something behind me tonight and the cat has been going crazy but i can easily brush that off. i do not feel fearful as i am safe in my faith. i have a very tranquil peace now. but man, that was a trippy weekend!
