As always everything I tell here is true to my experience. I do
not believe in writting a story here that isn't true.
This event happened to me a couple of months after moving out of
my uncle's house & into my father's house here in Merced
California. This would be my eighth o.o.b.e. Once again I decided
to take a power nap for one hour before heading back to the
college. I fell asleep around 2:30pm. As I fell asleep I tried to
stay aware I was falling asleep as much as possible. The next
thing I knew I was separated from my body.

The book I've read by Robert Peterson:Obe's and how to have them
says that sometimes u can get "glued" to your body...meaning that
u can't exactly leave your body but you are in the o.o.b.e state.
I have been having this trouble in o.o.b.e-ing for quite some
time. Anyways...I was separate from my body but could not leave
it. I tried to get my hand out & it worked! I tried to get my head
separate & it worked too!...but just couldn't get any other body
part out!...This became frustrating so I just decided to calm down
and just enjoy the view...

I then noticed a solid black figure to my right. This entity was
about 7 feet tall! I just looked at it...it kind of creeped me
out...I looked at it's body & it wore what look like crumpled up
jeans...let me describe this better to u. The being wore clothes
that were pitch black and it looked like he wore clothes that were
to big for him...yes,him! I had the great impression the being was
a male! The thing is...I had the strong feeling that he was there
to keep me from coming out of my body any further...I felt that if
I successfully came all-the-way out of my body that he would harm
me or take me...This being had no face...all that was there was a
pitch black space! This being was about 4 feet away from where I
was. I then decided to end my o.o.b.e state...but before I was
able to I saw the being walk three steps to his left and jump
away...I then woke up and thought..." What in God's name was
that!?!"

To Nina & Grey Feather, if u know what kind of entity this is
please email me. To anyone out there who had a similar experience
& knows or might know what kind of nonphysical being this is
please email me at Baldie1980@hotmail.com or
joe@wintersteel.zzn.com! To my readers I am the writer of The
Uncle I never knew, The Massage, & The Black Shadowy Hand.

Note: When you do OOBE, or have such an experience, just like Astral Projecting, you view things in a different perspective at times. You may see things, you may not percieve in your 'normal' state of being. Other beings, in that 'realm,' let's say, can also see you also. You must always becareful when you do Astral for you don't know really what you may encounter when out of your body. Some people suggest, that when you are out of your body, you leave it open for other 'beings' to enter it.
