Paranormal Experience Scene 1: From A Different View

Back in my adolescent years I’d be told stories about ghosts, aswangs, engkantos, lamang lupa and other entities by my titos, titas, cousins, neighbors, TV shows and movies. This piqued my interest in the paranormal. I will research about paranormal things like opening the third eye, ESP, astral projection, clairvoyance, spirit guides, etc .

Anyway, I was planning on finishing the books I bought last week but found myself doing other things, playing games and sleeping. Every time I finished reading 1-3 stories I’d feel sleepy.

A while ago, two cousin of mine entered my room. This woke me up from my afternoon slumber. Since they saw the book TPGS in the bed, one of them asked  if I had a paranormal experience myself. So we had a little story telling session (ako ang taya) regarding the paranormal events that happened to me.

Since I already shared it to them I thought of posting those experiences here.

My age was 4 or 5 when this happened. My mom, sister and I still live in Las Pinas. We live in an apartment type house but there was no second floor. We are in the farthest unit. I thought the house was big because I’m  still small.

My aunt and uncle (mag-asawa, wag ko na lang sabihin names nila) are the one’s looking out for us at some times since my mom needed to go to work  and there must be somebody to take care of us, usually it’s my other uncle (bunso sa mga kapatid ng nanay ko).  The place where we sleep was made of wood with screens to keep the mosquitos or cockroaches away, a screened door, and was elevated from the floor (nakapako  or something sa ding-ding at may pillars), we go up there by using the stairs attached to it. There was a bed beneath that where my aunt and uncle sleep.

My mom was between me and my sister. I’m near the screened door. I always hug my pillow before going to sleep. After drinking some milk I went to sleep.  Back then we do not turn off the lights even though we are already going to sleep.

I woke up and found my mom and sister still asleep. I don’t know what time it was since I still do not know how to read the clock. I looked below me and saw myself sleeping! That is when I realized that I am floating in front of my body. My body was still hugging my pillow facing the door. I passed through the screens (ang galing ko tumatagos ako, hehehe) and saw my uncle and aunt sleeping on the bed with kulambo beneath us. I went back and tried reaching for my body. The next thing I know was it’s already morning. I told my mom about this and she told me that I’m just dreaming. It felt so real to be just a dream, I told myself.

When those things were happening I did not feel scared, just the feeling of being very light and doing something unusual or out of the ordinary (lumulutang ako). In my teenage years,  my interest in the paranormal grew more. I’d always listen to stories, read books, watch TV shows and movies where anything related to the paranormal was featured (di pa ko marunong  mag internet). I watched a local talk show (can’t remember the program’s name) and they are talking about astral projection. That’s when I learned that what I experienced was the same, it’s astral projection.  So it wasn’t  a dream afterall. I do not know how I did it but I did, well unconsciously did it.

Later on I also learned that some people can do this at will and also mental patients can but unconsciously. I can’t elaborate on the details about astral projection since I’m not an expert on this so just search about it on the net.
