Hello, my name is Romina, I´m from Argentine, and when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, I was lying in my bed when I saw a man with a hat (he looked like the man of the movie “Poltergeist”) in the feet of my bed. He was all black, like a shadow. I couldn´t see his face or other detail. I was completely frozen for the fear, when I started to feel like he was pulling my legs (but I didn´t felt the touch in my skin, it was like I was moving to him against my will) and slowly I was getting closer to him. I started to struggle and tried to go to the opposite direction, and when I looked to the left side of my bed, I saw him in that place this time, and I started to feel again like he was pulling me to that side. I was completely shocked. I couldn´t scream or run, just beeing there trying to avoid that force which was tugging me. I don´t know how much time passed. I felt like a century. Then I ran to my parent´s bedroom and slept with them that night (that wasn´t so rare, because I always had night terrors, since I was a little girl. Even now I can´t stay in the darkness if I´m alone in my bedroom). For years I believed (in fact, I wanted to believe) that what happened that night was a dream, until when I was 24 years old, I was talking with a friend of mine (he was a college friend) and he started to tell me about a similar situation in the department where he was living. It was very similar: the black shadow, the fear. But in his case his roommate saw it too and they both saw this “shadow” almost every night until they moved away from that department. And today, when I was listen the radio show “Milenio 3” (is from Spain, with Iker Jimenez) they started to talk about this experience and this web site. I´m still shock. I feel identified with all the stories, I just can´t (want to) believe it. Thank you for giving me the space to talk about my experience. Now I know what happened that night was real and million of people had the same experience. I hope you could understand my narration. I apologize for the gramatical and ortography errors. Best wishes from Argentine.
