What did I encounter? Scared just writing this post.

In 2012 I lived in Sonoma County with my boyfriend at the time and our newborn daughter. We had a terrible relationship. He was physically, verbally, and mentally abusive. There was an abundance of bad energy from our relationship as he was a very abusive person. It makes sense that entities would feed on this.

I’m not sure of the exact order of events but I’ll do my best. On 4 different occasions I experienced sleep paralysis and it was absolutely terrifying. I haven’t experienced sleep paralysis before or after these events.

I was sleeping on my back each time. Each time I would wake up and I was only able to move my eyes. I remember trying to move my body but I couldn’t move anything except my eyes. I tried to wake my bf but I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t grunt, I couldn’t do anything. I felt an enormous weight on my chest. As if a person was resting on my chest. I felt a presence in the room that was different than my bf. On a couple occasions I thought I was a very tall figure kind of standing on my chest. I felt like I was being crunched and I couldn’t breathe consistently. I thought I was gonna suffocate. I didnt see a figure everytime. However each time I felt like I was suffocating and about to die. I also felt a presence at the opposite end of my bed. You know when you just sense that someone is there? Well that’s it.

I know the weight wasn’t anxiety/panic because I’ve had anxiety/panic attacks plenty of times in my life. That wasn’t it.

Separate event: Then one evening I heard a loud noise come from my infant daughter’s room. It was her lamp that fell. I thought that was weird but I shook it off and just put it back up. About 15 minutes later it happened again. At this point I was freaked out but brushed it off and thought that maybe it was off balance; even though I checked the first time. I went back into her room a fixed the lamp. Only this time, I unplugged it and made sure it was away from everything. It was one of those cheap tall lamps. I felt confident that nothing could affect this light from moving. About 5 mins later it happened again. Only this time the lamp was laying across my baby’s crib. I was so freaked out. I picked my daughter up and I held her all night. I said very firmly that I recognize the presence and to never bother me again. I didn’t have any issues after that.

I left my bf and that house soon after these events. One day I was on his fb looking at pictures. I saw one pic and I needed to zoom in to see details. I ended up seeing 3 faces kinda mixed into the background. It’s hard to explain. It was like the faces were clearly there only it they were somewhat translucent. It’s kinda like if you’re working on Procreate and turn the opacity down a bit. There were 3 male faces. They all had dark hair and dark eyes.. They were so scary and menacing to the point where I can’t even look at the picture. I’m actually freaked out just writing this.

The 1st man had a blank expression. This guy was the hardest to make out and I can’t remember too much about him. The 2nd guy- I could see the white in the man’s dark eyes. His eyes looked so sad. His overall expression looked like he was sad and lost. The 3rd guy was the most menacing. His eyes looked blacked out. I couldn’t tell if he was wearing sunglasses or they were his eyes. It looked like stunner shades. He was clenching his teeth together and grinning. The expression that people make when they are showing their grill. I saved the photo and it’s in my old computer. I can access it but I would need to get an old charger online.

…And that’s about it. I always felt a presence in that space and was often scared.

I know that I experienced entities in that apartment. I’m not sure what kind though.

I would love to hear your thoughts. This is the first time I’m sharing my story. I have only ever told my husband.

EDIT: my ex told me when he was an infant his father sold his (ex bf) soul to Satan. Now idk if this is true or if he was just saying weird stuff. His dad was severely mentally ill especially when he would use drugs. It is strange how lots of “evil and bad luck” would follow this guy through his life. Like disproportionately….
