As I read these stories I am reminded more an more of things that have happened in my life. Things that I may have blocked out because they were so unexplainable. As it seems that I can no longer ignore them I suppose I should post them so that I can get some feed back on them. I have had a hard time figuring out what any of this means..so bare with me as I post my experiences:)

One very strange experience happened about three years ago. I had this friend Wes and from the moment we met we knew that there was a strange connection between us..something akin to having knwn each other before, although we dont think we did.

We spent a lot of time exploring the woods in my neighborhood. Occasionaly we would see shadows in the woods that were unrecognizable. Other times we would see shapes drifting across the fields outside the woods. I was the one who usually saw these things first and would tell who ever was with me to look in that general direction. I would not tell them what I saw, but those who saw something always saw the same as I. I will post other experinces in this area in other posts.

On one night we stumbled into a little clearing with in the woods. With Wes and I were two other guys, one was my now ex boyfriend(we will call him Jeff) and the other his friend (how about Mike). Wes and I stopped suddenly in the middle of the clearing and looked around frantically. We knew something was there and it scared the crap out of us because it felt so abnormal. There was a presence that just felt dangerous.

Something knocked Wes to the ground and immediately after I was pushed away from him. I could se Wes struggling to get up and from the way he was moving I could tell that something very large and heavy was on top of him, although I could see nothing there. I tried to run to him and was held back..not violently, but firmly held in place.

I do not remember much of what happened next except that Jeff tried to get me to leave. Up until that point he and Mike had not moved from thier spot in the woods. Mike urged me to leave Wes and toget the hell out of there.

I was told later by Mike and Jeff that they had seen Wes "fall" and then me stumble backwards, both actions did not look intentional by Wes and I. They then saw the same as I when Wes was struggling and then me puching against an invisible "something" to get to him.

Jeff then told me that Wes and I started screaming and I called out a name and then told that person/name to get away. Wes and I supposedly acted different as if we were not ourselves. We spoke of a "clan" and that Wes was my leader in some way. I know that there were specific names that we used for clan and leader, but niether Jeff nor Mike could remember.

We eventually ended up some distance from the clearing, where Jeff and Mike told us that they had simply walked us away and that we had seemed dazed.

I guess that is that. Please give me feedback.
