Стоурбридж

United Kingdom

Three times between January and April, the witness, John Sewell, woke up in extreme panic, unable to move, with the feeling that something was slowly pulling off the bedclothes.

Each time, he suddenly found that he could move, but he was covered in sweat and shivering with cold and fear. Twice he looked at the alarm clock and memorized the exact time. For the fourth time, he forced himself to look up, the effort causing a painful tension in the muscles of his neck.

At the foot of the bed, he saw a figure that seemed to be the figure of a tall man, apparently wearing a raincoat. He couldn't make out any facial features, but a soft green glow seemed to outline the figure behind him.

The startled witness shouted obscenities, and the figure disappeared, disappearing into the center point like an image from an old television set.

Summary: Three times during between January & April the witness, John Sewell, woke up in an extreme panic unable to move, with the feeling that something was slowly pulling the bedclothes off. Each time he suddenly found himself able to move, but drenched in sweat and shivering with cold and fear. On two occasions he looked at the alarm clock and remembered the exact time. On the fourth occasion he forced himself to look up, the effort caused a painful strain of the neck muscles. At the foot of the bed, he could see a figure, which appeared to be that of a tall man, apparently wearing a cloak. He couldn’t make out any features, but there seemed to be a soft green glow, silhouetting the figure from behind. Terrified, the witness shouted obscenities and the figure vanished, disappearing into a central point like an old TV going off. At this point he could move fully, and once more checking the time, found it to be 0200A again.
