Annwn, The Otherside

Have you ever heard of Astral projection? Or perhaps seen the movie the new movie Insidious? Well Astral projection is when the spirit leaves the body and you roam around in another realm. This most likely happens wile sleeping, this happens more often than though all around the world. Back in Wales we call this realm Annwn, which is the underworld in Welsh folklore.

I live America now and the street and town I live in is full of friendly people and always people rushing around people walking their dogs playing outside, walking to work, but in Annwn. I was falling asleep on Halloween night at around 3:00 am. I woke seconds later looking down at me self sleeping, then walked around the house, every body was sleeping. I grabbed my keys and walked out the door. A heavy fog was low to the ground a couple feet off the ground. I walked down my driveway and looked up and saw a passing couple, I waved but it seemed as though they looked right through me. There was something about them that seemed odd like I shouldn't be here, like it was full of lost or damned souls awaiting God's judgement.

I wandered down town and saw more people. I remember feeling intense sadness, and the feeling of dread or lostness. Some folk were around like they had nothing to do, some folk looked like as if they were mindless just staring into nothing. Dogs wandered the area, except the dogs didn't look like little Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgis or sheepdogs these were large, all black dogs. What scared we was their size, as big as a calf. When they turned in my direction I saw their yellow eyes gleaming like fire. I knew that was the Gwyllgi which is a demonic creature in Welsh folklore. I immediately thought of Ephesians chapter 6, and spoke it loudly and the creatures growled at me and took off into woods. Every figure around me stopped and stared at me, then went about their business.

A figure, the same Cornishman relative who I said appeared to me in many dreams and a few waking hours. He said "Get of here now!" "This is land of the Damned" He disappeared in smoke and words rang in my head "God is with you". It comforted me knowing this, so I got to my house finally and and walked in I heard a loud ear piercing screech/scream right out side my window, I looked out and saw a dark hooded figure in the shadows behind a tree. It stirred up fear in me like none other I've heard before. I quickly jumped into my body and woke right up, wide awake still hearing this loud ear piercing screech, I looked over at my dad who had fallen asleep in the chair across the room. His eyes wide open! Then next morning we both confessed the experience of hearing the loud ear piercing scream.

-This goes out to all the people that experiment with astral projection or leaving the body of some sort, Its much worse than the movie, Its bad news, don't do it!
