“I am fully awake, and a dark spirit with an open mouth comes into the room, and I can feel that it has come for me. To take me. It is very heavy and real, a dark force. I feel it is the spirit of death. I am not afraid. I become angry and demand it to leave. ‘What are you doing here?’ I yell. ‘Get away!’ And it goes away. I will it away.”
