The Invisible People: My Shadow People Stories, page 1

3. The Big Episode.

This story that I will tell you is by far the most incredible one I have heard. It hit me on many levels. Cory takes a very pure form of Meth and Smokes a lot of it. Staying up for three-days, Cory stays in his room witnessing an entirely different reality. Only fractions of what he experienced came out, as Cory tells me "It's hard to remember all of it".

Cory lays back in his bed the first night. He watches the faint shadows moving in and out of the room and across the walls. The figures become more clear and he focuses on one that he describes as a little demon. "It couldn't be bigger than a foot and it had pointed horns or ears". The little demon was playing around the room and then suddenly stopped. One corner of the room is overcame with darkness- A giant shadow figure has emerged and is after the little guy. The little demon was chased around by the shadow figure that was "the size of big foot" and they ended up fleeing the room. (No hooded demon appears that night).

In the morning, Cory continues to lay in his bed and stare at the ceiling. He hears his door creak open and it is his cat. Cory sits up and watches the cat walk carefully to the top of a step stool near the window facing the side of the yard. While looking at the cat he sees something coming through the window. There is a mans hands coming through the blinds. His cat looks up notices the hands and flees out the door. My cousin explains the situation: "I was more terrified than normal now, If my cat can see the hand of somebody coming through the blinds, than how do I know I'm just hallucinating?"

After the hand leaves, he carefully peaks through the other side of the blinds. He sees a full grown man, a construction worker who is completely see through. He is standing against the wall to avoid being seen from out the window. My cousin looks away for a minute, scared, and then he peaks outside again. This time when he looks out, there is 4-5 construction workers carrying equipment and nailing in a post. (Everything that he witnessed did not take place to reality, the side of the yard has nothing that he described nor would his mom or dad have people on the side of the yard for any reason) He witnessed them working for 4-5 hours and sometimes the workers would notice my cousin and laugh! One even came up to the window and waited for my cousin to peak out once again. My cousin said the worker tried to scare him my pressing being as close to the window as possible and "smiling with his nasty face". His face looked very rugged and corroded. When the see through construction workers planted the see-through post, they picked up their equipment and walked somewhere else.

After the construction episode, my cousin tells of communication with a young man in a dusty old recliner. "The guy was a former drug user that died, and he was trying to tell me something. He appeared in my room with a smirk on his face." Cory would sit on his bed while this "ghost" was laying in his recliner. The ghost had a beanie and clothes that resembled a surfer/beach bum. He would hear the guys mouth move but Cory didn't hear or understand anything. At one moment, the ghost told him to get closer and Cory tuned in. The beach bum talking was now understood even though he couldn't be heard. Cory would say "he was trying to give me a message, and I understood everything".

The message was to learn from his mistakes and try to learn a different way of life. The ghost briefly explained how he missed his family. My cousin would ask him questions like “Are you dead?” And he would give neutral Reponses giving neither a yes or no.

He continued to talk until he starred at the door with fear and disappeared. At that second, Cory’s mom opens the door with a spare key and walks in to ask “What are you doing? Are you going to eat?”
