I tried to post before but I couldn't....hopefully this doesn't end up anywhere duplicate!
When I was younger, I used to see what I called "the spider web people". I was probably around 5 or 6 years old; at the time, my bedroom was in a
converted attic. Some freaky things used to happen at that house - doors would open and slam shut all by themselves, for instance...while I'm very
imaginative, I do believe I've seen ghosts both then and now and don't doubt what I've seen.
At any rate, I used to quite frequently be visited by the spider web people. Ghostly, in a way...I am not sure why I called them that, other than
the fact that they were translucent and seemed to be ensconced in a "haze"...I also used to try to "touch" them and it felt sticky, like a web.
Well, these visitors used to simply float by me through my room at night. Normally they were harmless images, like old women in rocking chairs or
children calling to me to play with them. Initially, I'd welcome their arrival, but then I'd get scared and want them to go away. Sometimes I'd
get really frightened. One time, I remember having a bunch of blossoms falling around me, and at first I was really happy and then got really scared.
I ran into my parents room and dove under the covers but the blossoms still fell. I was frightened that if they touched me, I would become poisoned.
I did touch a few of them, and they felt sticky and they stung, but that was about it.
I've never stopped thinking about this through all these years. The memories are very sharp. I also used to have some out of body experiences along
with these visions; I'd frequently find myself floating near the ceiling, looking down at myself and seeing the spider web people float by.
What would you call these things? Would you say that these were ghosts? The product of an over-active imagination? I swear these things were so
real and so weird - the memory stays with me even now.
