I work at night. I usually get home at around 7 in the morning. My usual routine is to eat my dinner (or breakfast to the normal people), sit down and read a book or scroll through social media, and listen to let's read or no sleep podcast while waiting for sleep to come. It's important for you to know that this incident did not happen during the morning and not the wee hours of the night.
That day, I did my usual routine and scrolled through social media. I can't remember if I have already discovered let's read or no sleep during that time. I can't remember if I listened to anything scary before I sleep but I am sure that I scrolled through my social media newsfeed before I sleep. I remember seeing the profile of one of my friends. She was my coworker and she taught me how to play minesweep. She had a post about her baby and I remember feeling happy for her.
Sleep came. I can't remember what my dream was about. However, I can remember what I felt. It was heavy. I feel sad and scared. At the height of my emotions, I decided that I need fo wake up. I forced myself to wake up. I was able to open my eyes but I was unable to move my body. I am lying on my stomach and my head hurts and it felt like my body is vibrating.
I was panicking as I can't move my body. I looked on my left and there it was. A shadow of a girl standing beside my bed with her head bent towards her right shoulder. I can't see any of her features. I just know it's a girl because of her disheveled hair and thin 'shadow' frame. Just like the ghost in the movie "lights out".
It's not moving. I have the feeling it's looking at me. I closed my eyes and told myself that it is not true that maybe it's just the electric fan. I kept on repeating those words to myself trying to be convinced that it will go away soon. I opened my eyes again and it's still there. It's not the electric fan as I can see the fan right beside her. I closed my eyes again and told myself to calm down. I counted to 10.
The vibration I feel on my body slowly fade away and my head started to get clear. My heart beat returned back to normal and I can now feel my body. I slowly opened my eyes and realized that it's 6pm and it's time for me to prep for work.
I decided not to think about the incident so that I won't feel scared and forget about it easily. I came home after my work and scrolled through social media again. Here I saw the post of one of my friends who happens to be the ex-husband of the friend I was talking about earlier. The post goes something like this:
"It's with a heavy heart to let you know that xxx and her son has joined our creator last night."
I was shocked. I searched for further details and I found out that she and her son died in a car accident. The SUV they were riding slammed into a van and her son was thrown into the window. Due to the strong impact the glass window broke. My friend tried to save her son by throwing her self to the window and embrace her son. But it was too late. Both are dead. No one survived the car accident. My friend's body was placed in a closed casket due to the severe injuries her body has sustained. Her son, however, (as described by her close friends) looked very peaceful. He didn't look like he suffered. He looked like he was just sleeping. No bruising is visible.
I felt like crying. I wonder if the shadow that I saw last night was my friend saying goodbye to me. I never experienced sleep paralysis before. I have no idea what it feels and if the experience I had last night is something close to that or paranormal in nature.
I offered a prayer before I sleep.
