Last night, I woke up feeling completely paralyzed. I could barely breath or even talk. I saw a shadow above me. Then I felt as though there was someone laying under me... I was on my back in bed. This something was holding me down with there arms around my chest. I tried to speak the name of someone that had killed themselves recently at my friends work. The shadow started to release there grasp of me and started clapping. After a few seconds I felt a total release. My 2 kids and I share a room. There bed is up against mine. I rolled over because my 4 year old daughter was all restless. She had wet the bed. She hasn't had an accident in over 2 years. I am scared that this person is in someway going to hurt me and my children. What can I do?

Tb, sounds like you have a lot on your mind and it is manifesting itself by stimulating your imagination. This COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Phantoms can't clap their hands by the way. There are not corporeal. Your daughter was resltless because you were absolutely having a very bad nightmare and woke up in the middle of it, that is way it was vivid to you.

Maybe you should just get it all out here and tell us what is going on in your life at the moment. We will understand your situation a lot better.

Get a grip on yourself, if not for you, for your kids.
