This is an experience I had when I was 17 when I decided I would spend the night at a boyfriend's house. He lived at a farm house that was set out in the country. I slept in the guest bedroom and had no problems until morning. As I woke up in the morning, I decided to lounge in bed for a moment before I got up. I knew the family was outside working on feeding the animals and other farm chores.
As I lay in bed, admiring the sun shining into the room, and the pretty furnishings... I was suddenly overcome by the sensations of whispering and then loud voices and the presence of many people standing clustered around the bed and hovering over me. (I had the distinct impression of the civil war era) They were all speaking at once, criticizing, mocking, scolding, and in general being cruel and hostile. I was horrified and squeezed my eyes tight and prayed. I felt like I could barely breathe. When the sensation passed, I quickly got up left that house.
I mentioned it to my boyfriend, but he was uncomfortable with hearing about it, and didn't have much to offer. This was a vivid encounter for me that I never forgot. The strangest thing for me was the way they were treating me, as if I was invading their home or family. I speculate that these might have been ancestors of this family. I really don't know, but it was such a unique experience for me I thought I would share it with you all and see if perhaps there are other people who may have had a similar encounter.
