The story is told by Jason Offutt air force base, American researcher of anomalous phenomena and author of several books about anomalies, Missouri:

The event happened to 16-year-old Lauren. In my dream she once saw a black person.

"In my dream, I was driving home and there was another car that crossed the lane and ran into me. I heard the sirens and then turned around and saw this tall black shadow of a man. He was standing right behind me, literally hung on me and looked at me with red glowing eyes. Then there was a flash of very bright light and I woke up."

It was not the last time she saw a black shadow of a man, and this time it was not a dream. She woke up one night and saw that her bedroom was plunged in complete darkness. Lauren usually slept with the TV on and a nightlight because she always felt as if her someone is watching. But that night the TV and the light turned off.

"The light passed into the room only through the window and it was very small. But enough for me to see tall black figure with red eyes. Those burning eyes looked at me, and I lay and watched them, unable to think or move or feel anything. It was like a trance or something. During this trance, I could not close my eyes. I had a fan that blew directly into my face, and I never blinked.

When I felt that I could move again, I sat up, never taking his eyes off him, and when I sat up, my eyes started to hurt and all clouded over, so I was forced to blink. When I again opened my eyes, the dark figure disappeared."

Lauren still occasionally notice this ominous shadow even on the streets. The shadow disappears when Lauren begins her to closely observe.

"When I see him, time seems to stand still. I can't move, can't blink, can't do anything until he leaves. And I'm still afraid to ride in the car. I'm afraid that happens to me the same thing that I saw in that dream, I get into an accident and die."

Сонный паралич

  • In a moment, the man suddenly feels on top he bore down on something very hard and does not allow him to breathe, as if strangling.
  • Quite often people say that in that moment, when they sleep, they feel that they can move neither head, nor foot, nor arm, literally nothing. Among other things, a person becomes unbearable fear.
