ghosts
my house is haunted. sometimes i forget. then it reminds me. for some reason it shows up most often around the changing of seasons. it's happened several times now. i'm too lazy to look up the links for my previous posts so go hunting through the archives or just deal without them. it's happened now enough times that i know exactly what's going when it does occur.
i have a tendency to sleep on my side. my left side with my back against the wall protecting me from my neighbors. the first time i felt a presence in my room it was in the corner between my door and my tv, which as it turns out is where the guy who occupied the room before me felt it. but then i felt something hovering over me and experienced something that is akin to absolute terror, without the fear. my body becomes paralyzed and i feel the hairs begin to stand up. i feel as though i have been dragged out of deep sleep, no dreams happening here folks. i have lucid dreams so i know. when it first happened i didn't know what the fuck was going on. i hate that this feeling is familiar now. i come into conciousness but can't move and can't make a sound. my first thoughts always go to yelling out one of my roommates names. realizing i can't move or peep i think about whether my cell phone is within reach. usually it's not.
if i think about it i would say that, while it is not exactly pressure, i do feel as though something is connecting with me on my right shoulder and my side just above my hip. it usually takes a force of will for me to break this and finally get up. it takes less time for me to do it now and when i do wake up the first thing i do it turn on the light. the sensation of skin crawl is only on the left side of my body and only from my shoulder/neck to my waist and it lingers for a little bit.
i have noticed that if i start to sleep with the light on it will stop bothering me for a time. although just now i caught a whiff of something unpleasant and i'm beginning to freak out a little. in case you're wondering it's been about 10 minutes since i woke up and it is only now i'm beginning to get a little buggy. downstairs, it's happened a couple of times that while i'm playing the guitar a pleasant smell, something like flowers will waft by. that doesn't bother me. the bad smells do.
the thing i hate the most about when this happens is the fact that i will probably not be able to get to sleep again for some time.

That should work immediately. You shouldn't even get to the 2nd sentance. It should just leave. It doesn't hurt to surround yourself with universal white light or say your protected by the god of your choice but the permission thing is key. Don't give it permission to invade you or your space.
When I moved into my new place, I felt that around my neck the first night and it took me a few seconds to recognize it and as soon as I took permission away, I haven't felt it since.
Good luck.
