When I woke up the next morning, I think I was actually way more terrified the next day when I remembered what had happened the night before. Pretty soon after that, like three or four, I think it was three for me, one for Mark, more things happened at night and the intensity was like escalating. The second incident, Mark again was traveling.

I was laying in bed and I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and I was staring straight up at my ceiling. And in my peripheral vision, this thick green mist was starting to like enter my line of sight directly overhead. And as it came together, it formed a very distinct face of a man, like a full head of hair,

Eyes, but like no pupils, you know, like that didn't look like it was, it didn't look like it had anything inside of its eyes. When I saw the face come together, I wasn't like frozen with an action at this time. I let out a really loud like gasp, almost a scream that I will not explain.

replicate because it's a little embarrassing but I made like a really loud noise of shock and the face almost like mirrored my face like opened its mouth and it I felt like it screamed. And as soon as it opened its mouth, the mist dissipated back to my peripheral. And I was just laying there in bed. Like, you know, you can imagine like scary, heavy breathing.

So that was the second thing that happened. This time I was very scared. It was a little bit different than the previous incident. I was horrified. And for the rest of that week, actually, probably for the rest of that year, if I ever woke up in the middle of the night, I'm not religious. I'm kind of anti-religious.

But I would say the Lord's Prayer over and over and over again until I fell back asleep. I was really scared. And of course, like after the fact, as I'm describing this to Mark, my skeptical husband was skeptical. And, um, We like toyed with the idea of this being a sleep paralysis instance, but I never experienced sleep paralysis before.

I wasn't under any kind of like exceptional stress at that time. Like I wasn't going through really like a big, aside from having bought a house, like, and I'm not a super stressed out person anyways, but there really would have been no triggering incident for having sleep paralysis. And aside from that, like I just wasn't asleep. Like I woke up and saw these two things.

This became like a regular topic of conversation in our house because I was really, really scared. I did not want Mark to travel for work anymore. And if he did travel for work, I slept like with Francis in the bed with me. Or I even would sleep at my parents' house sometimes if Mark was traveling because I just really did not want to be in the house by myself.
