Spooky Scary... Friends?

Hello, lovelies~

So for today's post, I wanted to relate a story of mine from my last relationship, the likes of which I've not heard anywhere else. As we know, I am an out-and-proud witch, and with that lifestyle there've inevitably come many weird and eerie experiences that simply can't be explained rationally. Some have been scary, others have simply been strange. But there's been at least one instance in my life where, without me even realizing it, eerie entities on two separate occasions came to me not as a threat - but as a warning.

In 2020 I started long-distance dating my now-ex, after meeting her on World of Warcraft. And this was pre-transition too, back when I had barely any idea of who I really was, which we all know is never ever a good idea. One day we were talking about her past relationships, and in this conversation, she mentioned one of her ex boyfriends breaking up with her because a shadow person told him to. I of course took this to mean that he just wanted out and came up with some bullshit excuse, but boy was I wrong. As the relationship progressed, more red flags started popping up. Every time there was conflict in our relationship, she was always the instigator. She used me as her emotional punching bag, taking out all her issues with past boyfriends and other toxic people in her life on me, instead of seeking therapy (which she staunchly refused to do for years despite five people encouraging her to get it, myself included) or otherwise dealing with those issues in a healthy and constructive manner. One night in late 2020, she related how she'd blocked some guy for suggesting that I loved the idea of her instead of her real self, and this struck such a chord with me that I went to bed that night distraught. But I wasn't alone.

I distinctly remember being turned over on my left side, facing the wall, and finding that I was uncomfortable in that position. So I shifted over to my right side - only to find a shadow person sitting right there beside my bed, roughly a foot and a half from my face. I still remember the details of how it looked; all black, with a bald head and gray eyes, and a wide smile showing off its sharp teeth. I was startled, and just as quickly as it had appeared, it was gone. Tried to tell myself it was just a trick of the eyes, since I was already exhausted and upset over the convo I'd had with my girlfriend. But in hindsight that wasn't the case at all. Eventually the relationship became even messier. She kept delaying our first meeting in-person, so the relationship - if you can even call it that - was text only. By the time I summoned up the courage to run away, she hadn't even called or video-chatted with me in ages. I was constantly afraid of saying or doing something she didn't like, as I could never predict how she'd respond. She once even threatened a breakup over me going to see a movie. Yeah. I can't make this shit up. But I'm happy to inform my readers here that I was finally able to get out of that madness last year, and haven't looked back since, except to re-examine the appearance of that shadow person years ago.

And in fact, that wasn't the only entity I saw during the course of our relationship; I also witnessed a black sphere, roughly the size of a basketball with dirty golden eyes, hovering just above the floor in my doorway for a few seconds before it too disappeared. And even though I've been wearing a sleeping mask each night ever since seeing those entities, in hindsight it makes perfect sense why they were showing up. They weren't malicious, they never attacked me, and instead I dare say that they were trying to warn me! Just like they warned that other ex of hers to run away. And ever since I did, the energy of my life has gotten so much cleaner and happier, and I'm so thankful to be rid of her. It really goes to show just how unpredictable the paranormal can be. I'm grateful to these spirits, whoever or whatever they were, for pitching in and trying to communicate in their own special ways that I was in danger. It must have given them great relief to see me break up with and block this psycho on every possible platform, and to preserve my energy first and foremost. And I'm certain I'm not the only one, either! What instances have you all had, where spirits were trying to reach out and help you instead of attacking and scaring you? Let me know in the comments!
