| Chris M. Deliverance from the 'Spirit of Fear' 'The HOODED EXECUTIONER' I saw a section on your site entitled 'Shadow People', and at first I thought this kinda sounded like a ghost I had seen. Here's my account: There came a point in my life where I was seeking spiritual confirmation. I wanted to know if there were actually sprits. So in a make shift effort to confirm the afterlife, and after asking God to reveal this to me, with no response, I turned to my own methods. I began makeshift rituals, using incense, candles and each of the four elements of the Earth. I called on sprits to show themselves to me, and for many nights got no response. Then one night I was lying in bed. I had been sleeping long hours, at the time I was young and depressed, so sleep was like an escape. I awoke to see, one of the candles I had used in my rituals burning out the corners of my eyes, or at least I thought that I did, but when I turned my head to look, the flames disappeared. This happened several times, before I dismissed it as imagination and closed my eyes again I lay there my eyes closed listening to my mother talk just in the next room. I never feel back to sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw the image of a man standing at the foot of my bed. He was moving, but I still don't know what he was doing, unlike the shadow man in his account, he was greyish white and looked to be wearing some type of hood, on his head, like an EXECUTIONER'S HOOD, I immediately pressed myself against my headboard of my bed. If there hadn't been a wall there I would have gone through it in horror. My brain immediately seemed to tell me that this wasn't real. And still hearing my mothers voice in the background, my mind seemed to rationalize that this was her, instead of a ghost. So I muttered out as best I could, and asked "mother, is that you...turn on the light" As soon as I said light the sprit faded slowly from my sight. I immediately bolted from the room. My mother saw my horrified look, but at the time I didn't want to talk of it..... Several nights later refusing to sleep in my room anymore I was lying on the couch, my mother had to work early that next morning, and I wanted to watch some TV, but I didn't want to wake her, so I got up from the couch and turned on the TV, then turned the volume real low, and sat there in the floor right next to the speaker, so I could hear it. Then to my horror came the loudest booming sound from the wall behind me. Three loud booms one after the other as if someone where banging on the wall with their fists as hard as they could. The only problem was, there was no one else in the house besides me and my mother. I quickly ran to her room, and there she was sleeping peacefully. I searched every room to no avail, even went outside to look, even though the wall I'd heard the noise from was an interior wall. The next night I was lying on the couch once again, my dog was lying on my chest facing my face. I kept sensing something was behind me, and kept looking back, noticing my dog was also looking strangely in the same direction...When all of a sudden my dog started yelping. She put her tail between her legs and bolted down the hallway, and you can believe that I was right behind her... after several moments of heart pounding FEAR I returned to the living room only to find nothing.... What my dog saw, I don't know, but I know she'd seen something...since this happened to me I know now that there are sprits and there is an afterlife...I have since turned to JESUS for these answers, and no longer perform my make-shift rituals.. I now know as I think of it, that this sprit I saw was malevolent, and I asked god to never let me see any sprit again that wasn't sent by Him, and since, I have felt what I thought was a presence, but every time it happens I just call on the 'LORD'... I have had no occurrences, or sightings since…. thank God cause if I did I don't know if I could live through it again. You can put this in your site if you want, I just thought it sounding a lot like the shadow people story, and that you may want to hear it, from the loud boom described in his story to the ghost seeming to fade at the mention or the appearance of LIGHT.
