Quote# 40590

There were times when I would hear someone walking up my bedroom steps and walking across my floor towards me in bed. I would turn around, but no one was there. I would lie in bed and feel the entire bed shake as if it were pushed. Shadows would move across my walls when there was nothing to cast a shadow. A lamp that sat securely on my desk catapulted out at me. These were just the beginnings of more terrifying things that were yet to come.

You may be saying to yourself right now, "Why didn't you just turn back to the Lord?" It's because I really didn't know how! At this point my mind was not my own. You see, by stepping into the devil's playground I unknowingly gave him permission to control me. I was terrified! I was afraid to go to bed because I was tormented every night. I'd get up during the night to use the bathroom and I'd feel something walking behind me or hovering over me.

I actually know what the presence of evil "feels" like. If there's a bad spirit around me every hair on my body stands on end. There's also a "whoosh" feeling that starts in the pit of my stomach and moves straight up my body. It feels like the "going down" feeling on a roller coaster. This started happening more frequently and it got more intense to the point where it took my breath away. This was the turning point in my situation. Up to this point it had been going on for about a year and a half.

What you're describing sounds exactly like a panic attack, or possibly the beginnings of a faint. Seek psychiatric help, and get your heart and blood pressure checked out while you're at it.

It really doesn't help that you're apparently superstitious and highly suggestible in the first place. What you're dealing with is a mental issue, not a spiritual one, but you may very well be making it worse by ascribing it to demons and their ilk.

"And Mexican food must be Of The Devil, because I'd get that 'whoosh' feeling every time I had a burrito just before bedtime. That's why I spent so much time going to the bathroom at night. And my wife could sense the evil, too – she complained about smelling the spirit-cloud that followed me down the hall."

Hahahahahaha. Hilarious.

So, Michael, you think that auditory hallucinations, unexplained shadows, and a falling lamp were caused by TEH DEVIL, who was only allowed to do so because you didn't have THE POWERR OF JEEZUS on your side? Quite the leap.

I know what a panic attack feels like... and you've just fucking described one perfectly.

Are you sure this "presence of evil" simply isn't diarrhea?

My bed not only shook, it rocked and rolled and moved all over my room. And, I can say it was all thanks to the spirits.

The kind of spirits I drank too much of, but spirits nonetheless.

Sometimes FSTDT is like the old times when people would pay a penny to laugh at the lunatics in bedlam.

I'm reminded of an old shaggy-dog story about a guy who consistently has bad stuff happen to him. In the end, he dies a horrible death, so he goes up to God and says "why did all that bad stuff happen to me?" God replies "because your face just pisses me off." I don't suppose that idea will ever occur to self-righteous, holier-than-thou fundies like Michael, though ...

Who're you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!

Or you just might want to visit your local psychiatrist for help.

"I would lie in bed and feel the entire bed shake as if it were pushed."

Yeah, we had an earthquake a while ago that came through Illinois.

Freaked me out a little because we almost never get earthquakes in Illinois.

The rest of this is lame.

I wanted crazy supernatural shit to happen to me my whole life and I've been disappointed. Don't the demons want me? I feel so inadequate....

That sounds almost exactly like a quote from the Sixth Sense.

It's all right to be afraid of the dark even after you're all grown up (weenie, but all right). Install nightlights - problem solved.
