We have one amazing story. It was sent in by Rodney Andrews who hails from Hart’s Crossing, Pennsylvania. It reminds us how fragile we as humans can be and not to take what we say to others lightly. Here is Rod’s story.
When I was 14, I had an experience I will never forget. I was the kind of kid who always got picked on in school. The kind of target people loved. Sometimes I’d stand up for myself and other times I was intimidated. When I was a kid, I didn’t know anything. Today at age 64, I still don’t know a thing, but I am happy to be here to tell my story.
One night, I decided I wasn’t going to deal with it anymore and would I self delete. I’d been planning it in my bedroom, thinking of how to do it. I cried a little, said it would all be over, and I wouldn’t have to deal with it anymore. The next thing I knew I wasn’t in my bed. I’m floating. Something has me. I stare at the closet mirrors and I see my body hanging in the air, blankets dangling. All I did was float. Then I fell into my bed. I still remember the shaking and the cold shiver going down my spine (I’m feeling it right now as I’m typing this).
Back to the story because It wasn’t over. There were two green eyes staring at me. TWO BIG GREEN EYES. I’ll never forget them. They were like emeralds but they were bright and looked like they were on fire. They just kept looking at me and I kept looking at them. I remember it was 1:14 am when I was grabbed and I kept staring at those crazy eyes until the sun came up. I don’t remember if they ever faded or disappeared. I just remember I prayed for the sun to come and that I would still be alive.
The next morning I told my parents. They didn’t believe me, no one really believed me. Everyone thought I made it up except my friend Mark. People just thought it was some crazy story that icky Rodney made up.
Years later I saw the Stone Tapes. I never saw or heard of the movie until I was 23. In the ending the mysterious creature shows up and kills the main heroine. It had Green Eyes! I broke down. Those were the eyes I saw. I’m not a small guy but I freaked out and crawled under my counter and hid in the space between the wall and cabinet. I called my friend Mark and It took him 30 minutes to calm me down. I don’t know if it was a ghost, demonic, or something from another plane of existence. I do know that it saved my life. I don’t know how. I don’t need to know. I don’t want to know. – Rodney Andrews
That is one amazing story. I looked up the movie The Stone Tape. It was released in 1972 and told the tale of a research team from an electronics company. They move into an old Victorian house to start work on finding a new recording medium. Then team member Jill Greeley witnesses a ghost. They decide not only to analyze the apparition, but to exercise it as well – with terrifying results. I don’t know how much of that story relates to yours, but I can honestly see how it could be a trigger for you. I am thankful for one thing. You are still here. Thank you Rodney for you story.
