The Force is Strong With This One
Hi y'all. I'm a little hesitant about posting this since it is not my own experience but rather a close friend's experience so I don't know all the exact details. I feel I know my friend well enough to be rational and reasonable person so I believe what he's told me or at least that he did have some unique bizarre experience. I thought it was interesting enough to post here.
My friend and I both have lived in the same apartment complex when we were kids. His account is one of the earliest from his memory. Although he was old enough to have a bed at the time, his parents only had a crib for him. He also shared a room with his older brother. One night after he and his brother were put to bed, he really wasn't able to sleep. As he sat in his crib, he saw his bedroom closet doors slowly and quietly open. In a state of bewilderment and fear, he sat in his crib motionless. Out from the closet, he saw three tall, lean, dark figures slowly amble to his crib. One of the things he noted was the peculiar way they walked. Although they moved smoothly and slowly, they appeared to not have a human gait but more ape-like. When they approached his crib, they simply gripped the side of the crib and slowly peered in, looming over him and would just stare at him. He could then see that they were hairy and apelike in appearance. Although they were close enough that he could feel the warm air from their exhalations, he simply laid motionless and partly felt instinctively not to move and partly paralyzed in fear. After what felt like an eternity, they withdrew and slowly returned to the closet and closed the doors. My friend says that he remembers this happening nearly identically just a few other times. In all instances, his brother never woke up and he never really remembered having any sort of harm done to him. He told his experience to his brother but his brother never believed him or took it seriously. As he grew up, the experiences stopped and his family moved out of the apartment. He had brushed them aside as the result of a young child's hyperactive imagination and then he simply forgot about them.
Several years later in his teenage years, my friend had a girlfriend who would baby-sit a young boy of a family friend. She also had a brother that would occasionally baby-sit the young boy too. His girlfriend's brother told my friend how he could make the young boy behave by teasing the boy about how monkeys would get him if he didn’t behave. The young boy was always very terrified by this threat. He would cry and could not be put to bed if he had to sleep in his room. My friend then recalled his old experiences and asked where this young boy lived. My friend suddenly had to rethink and dwell on his own experiences as a child when he learned that the young boy lived in the same apartment building and same room as my friend did. Although he never knew what exactly the young boy experienced in his room, my friend could only speculate that it was similar to his own.
I was always fascinated by this story because it doesn’t fit into any pattern of any supernatural experience that I’ve read about. From my friend’s observations, the entities didn’t appear to be human spirits which, from what I’ve read, would be more likely be attached to a place. But I’ve thought that entities of non-human origin like this would be attached to a person and not a place. Also, from what I recall, this apartment complex wasn’t very old and didn’t have a long history. Additionally, I’ve never really heard of any other history in this area before there was any development there.
