I have had two experiences with ‘the man’ and they both were terrifying. The first was back in Jan 2011, I heard scratching on my wall one night, just thinking it was critters went back to bed. This had happened two or three times each right where my bed was (I had moved it several times) then it actually got into my house and had the door swing open. The night I saw it I had smoking marijuana that night and came home around 5 in the morning. I laid in my bed which is in the basement and looked out the window only to find that it was lit up with light which is unusual because it never is. Not thinking too much about it I gazed at it and tried to fall asleep thats when all of the sudden I see a shadow flash by fast and there was the man with the top hat trench coat and broad shoulders staring back at me. I was so petrified I looked at it for a few seconds which seemed like hours and had to turn my light on. The second time I was dreaming. I remember “waking up” in the dream and having everything around me very heavy and drowzy. I raced to my little brothers room knowing something was wrong to try to protect us. But right before I had made it to the door I couldn’t grab or move any further than I was. I knew it was the man, since this was only about a year and a half after I saw “him”. I was struggling to get to freedom but before I knew it he said “you’re mine” and pulled me down and dragged me on my stomach accross the floor, I was screaming and trying to grab the ground to pull me up but he was very strong in my dream. He turned me around and started strangling me, I still feel how it felt. My eyes rolling back in my head I saw him. He had curly hair and yellow cat-like eyes. Then I awoke with him not in sight. I believe he comes like everyone says in troubled times. Mine happened to be right before any negative major changes happened it my life. Its very creepy but fear he feeds on most, remember you are a person he is just a spirit no matter what you are going to be way way more powerful than it ever will be.
