What brings me to this forum is a desperate search for what has been plaguing me at night.
No other culture or religion has been able to explain to me satisfactorily and I was told this indeed does occur amongst Mormons.
I purchased a home about 8 years ago from an older Mormon couple, high up in the hiearchy of the Mormon church. The gentleman's wife had passed away and he was being relocated to a nursing home. The home felt spiritually clean when we moved in. A few months passed. One night while I had my baby on my chest sleeping something prompted me to look towards the Foyer of our home...It was dark and the only light coming in was from an outside street lamp. What I saw was puzzling yet HORRIFYING! I do not scare easily, yet I was more frightened than I have EVER been in my entire life. Coming down the stairs, around the banister, down the foyer and towards my direction was, (at first I thought it was my mother or my daughter - they have PageBoy hair cuts), but this thing was blacker than the darkest color of black I have ever seen - even darker than the dimly lit room - I starred and could see it was wearing a cloak! with it's hands tucked into opposing sleeves and it was little and floating a foot of the floor! It glided into our family room, turned the corner, (I desperately prayed that it not see my baby or me-all the while questioning what it was I was seeing and why was it showing itself to me), and headed straight into our masterbed room where my husband lay sleeping.
I remember nothing else after that point.
In the morning I told my husband of what I had seen. He said he didn't see anything but did feel, almost like what a cat would feel when they climb into bed with you, then grabbing at his leg. He was partially asleep and didn't think much of it, even though we do not own a cat!
My baby has since grown up but every now and then in our home we see this dark, cloaked being come out of the shadows and move across a window into the other side of a shadow, when we immediately turn on a light there is no sign of it.
My large shephard is frightened to enter any room that is not fully lit. My older teenagers have seen it also at the foot of their beds. Someone has suggested to me that this happens during sleep paralysis but NONE OF US WERE ASLEEP WHEN WE SAW THIS.
Please tell me what this is? Why it appears to us? What does it want? How to get rid of it? Anyone?
Thank you.
