I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on an event. Recently (past 6 months) I have been experiencing a strange interaction with a spiritual entity. Experiences have ranged from hearing a monotone bird-like whistle at early times in the morning while I'm outside (5:30). If I choose to ignore the whistling, everything is fine, but if I choose to look in the direction of whistling I suddenly get dizzy and feel as if I'm about to faint, before seeing a shadow move quickly around me.
The first encounter I believe was around Oct 15, 2022. I was washing some coolers outside when I heard a monotone whistle, which was coming from my boyfriend's yard (he lives across the street from me). I looked over and felt as if everything was spinning, I saw what I believed was my boyfriend standing on his porch staring at me, but his face was blurred out. After reaching inside and closing the door, the spinning stopped. Upon questioning my boyfriend about the situation, he claimed no one else was home at the time, and he was asleep inside. I disregarded the situation and we didn't speak of it again.
About 2 months later (Christmas time) I was outside setting up some decorations when I heard the same whistling and footsteps in his yard. (the whistling sounded like his but in a monotone) I turned and there was no one there. Upon asking him again, he told me he was working in his attic at the time and no one was outside. This was about 7 in the afternoon. I haven't had many more encounters since then, but there are days when I can hear the same whistling right outside my bedroom window and the more I ignore it the louder it gets.
My boyfriend has also told me he has seen "me" outside at times when I wasn't and that I would look directly at him and smile... Minding that he would be standing by a window, and I usually don't just stare at his house or windows like that. He has also mentioned that he would sometimes hear me calling him outside at 3 in the morning almost as if I'm trying to lure him out the house.
We have found it strange the this entity has chosen to present itself in the form of the other, but we never learned its intentions. If you could please reach out and help me understand why this might have been happening, that would be great, thank you. Please feel free to ask for any more information about the situation if needed, I would be happy to provide you with more details.
I came across your story, it's a great story and I'd love to use it in a book I'm writing. The story would be completely re-written in my own style, but the main elements would remain the same. The book will be published in March 2025 and it is a collection of folklore and scary stories.
The reason I am emailing is to request your permission. If this is something you are agreeable to, please let me know.
