So there I was, laying in bed watching something happen that, even at my young age , i knew was impossible. And yet I watched as the inside of my closet slowly darkened into a deep black nothingness. Then a leg, wearing black pants stepped out of the darkness and planted a foot just outside of the closet just inside my bedroom.
I looked at the light switch on my bedroom wall. I knew if i sat up in bed I could reach the switch in a quick second. I wanted to turn on that light badly, told myself at the count of three I was going to reach for it. But I couldn't move, I was frozen in place by fear. I knew at any moment, whoever or whatever was attached to that leg, still standing just inside the darkness, was going to completely step out into my room.
I watched as the leg lifted up, and surprisingly, it backed up, and was swallowed back into the darkness. I couldn't believe it, I breathed a small sigh of relief and was able to calm down a little. So many things had been running through my head, fear, amazement, confusion, curiosity. Up until that point fear was pretty much number one, but interestingly i found myself starting to be a little less afraid and a little more curious as to what and how this was happening.
That is until, a minute or two later, the leg came back out of the darkness and again planted a foot just outside of my closet. Seconds later it again was pulled back into the darkness, this happened three or four times. And fear was back to its number one spot. The anticipation of the leg coming out and then going back in over and over again was excruciating.
The last time the leg came out of the darkness, it planted a foot in my room and instead of pulling back in, the rest of the "person" stepped completely out. There standing before me less than a dozen feet away was nothing less than a vision from a nightmare.
I now believe the nightmare that i was witnessing was caused by an x-ray effect that the blackness, which i now believe was some sort of inter-dimensional portal had on the " person" traveling through it. For what i witnessed standing before me was nothing less than a skeleton, in a black suit.
The front of its long jacket was opened a few inches, just wide enough so i could see the spinal column. I remember thinking how the spine came down to a point which made it look like a long white tie. The head of course was just a white skull. Again, i believe the unbelievably high energy's needed to open this portal caused this x-ray effect.
Of course at my age and the fact that this was the late 1960s, not I, nor anyone else I know of, had ever even heard of an inter-dimensional portal. Heck, we still had black and white TVs. So to me, I was seeing a skeleton in a suit that had just walked out of a black hole in my closet....Wonderful.
The "person" stood there, black jacket, black pants, I couldn't see his shoes as the light coming in from the window did not illuminate all the way down to the floor. In his left hand the entity held a small suitcase or doctors bag. As I watched I could see his head moving left to right as if he was looking around checking things out. After a couple of minutes he turned slightly to his left and put the bag back into the darkness.
After placing the bag into the blackness which had,a few minutes earlier, been an ordinary closet he again just stood there looking around. Occasionally his lower jaw would open and close as if he were talking, but i heard nothing. His arm half raised and he pointed in my direction, at which time I thought i was going to die from fright. By this time I was shaking like the proverbial leaf.
He then pointed in several other directions. If I didn't know better id say he could see through the walls as he was pointing in the direction of my parents and my baby sister in the next room. He lifted his foot and tried to step farther into my room but stopped in mid step and stepped back like he had hit an invisible barrier, he did this two or three times.never able to take another step.
After several minutes and several failed attempts to walk into my room the "person" took one large step backwards and was engulfed back into the darkness.
I thought it was over, I hoped it was over, I prayed it was over... It wasn't. The worst was yet to come.
