Dark Figures Over the Bassinet
Rate this encounter:
Lyssa - Queens, New York - April 3, 1993
I have two incidents to tell you about. I was nine months pregnant with my
first daughter and on the day of her birth I experienced something that was
strange. It was about 3:30 in the morning on March 22, 1993. I suddenly
awoke with a weird feeling. I sat up from the bed and sat there a little
dazed. I looked toward my closet which did not have a door. As I looked
toward the closet I saw a black shadow -- a big, black mass hovering in the
closet -- it appeared to have wings. I stared at the closet for awhile
without moving. I must have dozed off, but was awoken again by some kind of
feeling I had. I started having sharp pains so I was rushed to the hospital
and my daughter was born. There was a nurse there and I tried to tell her
what had happen to me and she something odd. She told me, "I know dear, you
must protect yourself." I asked to see that nurse to talk to her, but it
seemed no nurse of that description worked on the maternity floor.
I was staying at my mother's house with my daughter and that night everyone
went to bed about 11 PM, so after I went to sleep also. About 2:45 AM, I
woke up but I couldn't get up, I was paralyzed. The only thing I could move
was my eyes, then the fear started to set in as I started to see dark
shadows flying over my daughter's bassinet, but I couldn't get up. It was
like pressure on my chest. I couldn't scream -- only in my head I could hear
myself yell, "Get away from her! Get away!" But nothing came out. I stared
praying -- they just keep flying all around the room. Then all of a sudden
they were gone and the pressure I felt was lifted. I sprinted up so fast I
tripped over myself. I grabbed my baby, turned on the lights, and I stood up
for the rest of the night.
Since then I have experienced little things through the course of my life.
