Summary

A woman shares her experiences with the paranormal, beginning in her teenage years and continuing into adulthood. From posters fluttering mysteriously in her room to dark shadow figures standing by her bed, her encounters with the unknown escalate in intensity. Things take a dark turn when she experiences physical contact from an otherworldly entity that seems to follow her, showing up in different homes and even touching her while she sleeps. Along the way, she encounters strange music emanating from broken toys, missing pets that reappear as ghostly apparitions, and unexplained phenomena that leave her questioning her own reality.

This story is a testament to how some forces in our lives remain just out of sight, always lurking, always waiting. As the narrator comes to realize, the unexplained doesn’t simply disappear—it’s just waiting for the right moment to return.

1:02.1	I'm 33 now, but the memories still chill me.
1:06.1	The first time I realized something was seriously wrong, I was 15. It was a school night and I was lying in bed
1:12.6	ready to drift off to sleep when I heard something strange. It was subtle at first, a soft fluttering,
1:19.8	like paper being blown in the wind. But Tony, my window was shut. As I lay there frozen,
1:27.1	I realized it was my posters. They were shifting,
1:31.4	making this faint, whispery sound as though there was a breeze moving behind them. My heart
1:37.8	pounded in my chest. I kept telling myself, it was just in my head. But the more I listened,
1:43.8	the more I knew it wasn't.
1:46.3	I stayed in that bed for as long as I could, stiff with fear, but eventually I had to get out of there.
1:53.7	I told myself, I'm not staying in this room and bolted for the family room where my brothers were
