We’ll continue today with another of Stephen’s strange incidents. When he was about nine years old, he remembered his age because of the bunk bed he was just then sleeping in, he heard a strange “rustling” sound that he couldn’t identify. It wasn’t any sound he heard from the dog before, so he told himself, “it isn’t the dog.”
It seemed to be coming from the living room, so he climbed out of the top bunk and proceeded to walk very slowly and quietly down the dark hallway toward the living room. His heart was pounding and he was very frightened, almost terrified. The strange sound continued and the further down the hall he walked, the more frightened he became.
Then, just as he was about to turn the corner and see into the living room, everything just went black. The next thing he remembered was being back in bed sometime later with no memory at all of what had happened when he entered the living room. Stephen has tried many times to unblock the memory of the incident to no effect. The block remains stubbornly in place.
He decided not to ask his parents about it, and just caulked it up to another bizarre family experience.
