Night of the Intruder.
This story has many simalrities with "Bedroom Thing" so many in fact = that it kinda gives me the chills. This incident instilled me with more = terror than I have ever felt before in my life. Its true in every way. = This is a looong post, but I needed to make what happened = understandable.
It started one night when I was staying up late in my room which was = located on the end of our trailer. I was watching my T.V when I heard = footsteps on the other end of the house. They seemed to be coming from = the kitchen towards the hallway towards my room. In all fairness I = thought at first it was my stepmother about to chew me out about staying = up late agin. Then a feeling of terror and dread came over me. I had = learned a long time ago that whenever I had this feeling, somthing = unpleasent always followed. For one thing, the footsteps didn't sound = right. I can't explain it to this day. There was a walk in closet in = my room, I ducked into the closet in terror and silently searced for = somthing I could use as a weapon. I heard the door to my room open up = and the click of my light cord being pulled. Then I heard whoever it = was going through my drawers. My heart was jumping out of my chest. At = the time nothing supernatural ever crossed my mind. I thought ot was = some crackhead looking for somthing to hawk. I could continue to hear = the sounds of my drawers being pulled out completely and set on the = floor. Then after about five minutes, the noise stopped abruptly, too = abruptly. It was like the intruder just stopped frozen in time doing = whatever he was doing. Finally I had enough, concern for my family = overrode the terror and I burst open the door. To my surprise my room = was completely untouced. There were none of my drawers lying overturned = on the floor, my door was shut, and there was no sighn that anything had = been molested in any way. Now I was flat out scared. When I told my = stepmom about this. She tried to convince me I was just having a = nightmare. But I was wide awake at the time. I still don't know who or = what it was. They must have found what they were looking for because = they never came back.
