Seven foot shadow demon in our apartment!
.
While we were stationed in Germany, back in 1986, a strange thing happened.  I would take a nap or go to bed and be awakened out of a dead sleep by a horrible odor.  It stunk really bad. I mean it was the most foul odor i have ever encountered in my life.  I would wake up and be like in a trance state.  My husband said that's what I appeared to be like to him. In  a trance state of mind.  But He said he would watch my eyes and they would follow something across the room.  When he would wake me up, or shake me out of it.  I said to him didn't you see it.  He said see what?  I said well didn't you smell that odor.?  He said he didn't smell  a thing.  But then I was startled by the fact that I smelled it before I saw it. It was a tall very large dark shadow looking figure. It appeared to be at least 7 feet tall.  I got very upset because what i saw was very real to me.  But then I tried to fake the whole thing and I said I thought maybe I was dreaming.  He said yeah I think you may have had a night mare.  He said what ever it was, It made my heart beat very hard.  It was pounding.  Then one night we were in the bed, and my husband was laying on his stomach beside me. I was on my back.  This odor, stench what ever it was again woke me up, and when I opened my eyes this figure was leaning over my husband and staring at me, but as strange as it seemed I couldn't see its eyes, and it was so close and smelled so bad.  I was trying to wake my husband and I was so scared I could hardly scream. Barely anything would come out of my mouth.  So I took my hand an was moving it back and fourth an hitting my husband on the side and he still did not wake up. It was as if he had become paralyzed by this thing. Then I closed my eyes and when I  opened them, it was gone.  Then I screamed my husbands name really loud and he jumped up and asked me what was wrong?  He knew this was totally out of my character.  I am  not easily frightened.  Not at all.  But I was terrified.  I knew this thing was not of God.  So after staying awake all night, I the next day I told my neighbor  about the ordeal and she said I was scaring her just talking about it.  Then while we were in the hall way of our apartment building discussing the matter.  She asked me what the hell was this nasty smell?  I was shocked cause she could actually smell what I was smelling.  She then, said don't tell me, that is the odor your talking about??!!!  I told her yes and standing right behind her looking at me was the dark figure.   I told her it was right there, cause she said she could tell there was something scaring me by the look on my face and by the way my eyes looked beyond her, way above eye level.  She ran into her apartment and left me standing there.  I then thought, oh I can't just stand here and let this thing get me. So I ran into my apartment and slammed the door and I knew I had locked it out.  I tried to call my husband at work and tell him that I locked the thing out of the house, but I couldn't reach him.  I was so excited because I knew that I had locked this thing, out in the hall way of our apartment building.  But I was trying to reach my husband to tell him not to come in by way of the front door.  I wanted him to climb in the window. It would have been easy cause we lived on the ground floor. But I didn't get the chance to tell him and when he came home, He opened the door and I was trying to warn him not to, but it was too late, the force of the door was so strong that it slammed so hard it put the knob through the wall.  My husband was like what the hell!!!! I then almost lost it, I was hollering and screaming and telling him that He let it in.  I was like, you let it back in.  I locked it out an you let it back in.   It was then at that moment, that he thought it was all in my mind.  He said I was scaring the kids and he was tired of me carrying on this way.  I assured him that I was not dreaming an I was not hallucinating.  But He said he didn't want to hear about it anymore.  He told me I was acting crazy.  I then told him that I would not talk about it anymore, but I wanted him to at least be in the bathroom while I took my bath.  I had got to the point that I was afraid to go to the bathroom alone.  I thought this thing was going to get me for real.  So one after noon, on a Sat.  while my husband was watching the only channel you could get in Germany.  The AFN station. Armed Forces Network.  MY son age three and my daughter age five, were coloring and playing on the living room floor.   I was sleeping fine until I had this dream, or so I thought.  In the dream I was running from this dark tall shadow man.  His odor was killing me, but I was running from him.   He kept trying to  reach out with his large hands and grab me, but every time He did I would arch my back.  He kept doing this and after a while it was as if my legs were moving but I wasn't going anywhere.  So the next time He reached out for me, I didn't arch my back enough to get out of his path and He slapped me so hard on my back that I woke up.  It scared me so, that I ran into the family room and was telling my husband, what I just dreamed about.  He said , it was just a nite mare.  I told him but it seemed so real, cause the thing hit me so hard that my back is still stinging.  He said come here,  and he pulled  my     top  up in the back and I had a huge hand print in the middle of my back.  It was beet red where that thing had hit me.  It was actually burning.  It was then, that my husband believed all that I had been experiencing.  Then later he admitted that he smelled the foul odor too, but he didn't want to make me any more upset than I already was.  My daughter saw the hand print too, and although she is now 22 yrs old, she still remembers it.    I was so emotional behind this ,that I called my Mother long distance  from Germany to Kansas to tell her what was going on and all, and she without hesitation; told me that it was the shadow of death and that I needed to pray and bless the apartment. So I did and she told me not to let this thing know that I am afraid. To rebuke it in the name of Jesus.  So I did.   That nite when it returned, allthough however scared I rebuked it out loud and said : Satan in the name of Jesus, your not welcome here, leave us alone.  You will never have me.   It almost disappeared in same instant I said it.  It never returned.  But I did pray that God would give me a sign that it was gone for good.  I asked him to give me a sign that His Godly presence was now in our home.   Every nite I prayed this and on the 3rd day,  my son ran into our room and said that there was a man in his room standin beside his bed.  My husband and I both sprung up and my heart was pounding really hard.   Oh no! not my kids.  So hesitantly I asked my son what did the man look like.  He said; ( in his cute little high pitched voice that he used to have when he was younger)  " He was standing there with long hair and a long dress on. "  I asked him i was he afraid,?   He said, No!   I asked him why not??  He said because He had such nice eyes.   I said well what was he doing???  He said just standing beside his bed with both of his arms out.   My husband and I both looked at each other at the same time really hard.   Then my son asked us ,  but I wonder why he has holes in both of his hands.?    I knew then that the Lord had just given me my sign that I prayed for.  This entity or what ever you want to call it, never returned again.  Thank God!!!  But we now have an Indian woman living in our home. I wish I knew what causes stuff like this to happen.  If you want to know more about us now.  I will be happy to tell you.   There is so much more going on and I don't have an explanation.  Thank You,   Sincerely  Yvonne
