It was my Aunt Lynn calling back. He put her on speakerphone as I began to leave the back bedroom in our apartment. The kitchen was at the end of the hall, so I dawdled a bit to hear some of their conversation. &#8220;Describe what happened again,&#8221; she said. Ryan began to retell the details of what happened over the past couple of days in our apartment and how it has escalated to the current situation. I flipped my grilled cheese over and made sure I had a plate ready for when it was done. I wandered back into the far bedroom and sat on the floor&#8230;away from the bed. I heard my aunt say, &#8220;Yaa&#8230;that definitely sounds like you have a spirit.&#8221; I was afraid she would say that, but I figured it was the case. I always like to check with her though because she knows what she is talking about.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, what do we do now?&#8221; he asked in a heavy, sighing voice. Before I listened for the answer, I thought it would be a good idea to test out that spot on the bed, just to see if it was really true. Even though I figured it was, I thought &#8220;what&#8217;s the worst that could happen?&#8221; I quickly found my answer. As I leaped toward the edge of the bed where we thought the spirit had taken over, I felt a strong force take over. My body tensed as I floated above the bed, right where the spirit was. Suddenly, I was upright, my feet pointed toward the ground (and the edge of the bed), but I was still in the air. I shouldn&#8217;t have done that, I thought. Ryan was staring at me wide-eyed. My breathing got faster and I started to panic. What have I done? Why did I do that? How do I get down? I knew it was mad at me for testing it. My chest started to get heavier and my muscles got tighter and tighter. My breathing was now very rapid and it&#8217;s all I could hear. It was like the rest of the world had gone silent. I closed my eyes. I had to think of a way out. I have to calm down. I can&#8217;t let it know that I&#8217;m panicking. I tried to slow my breathing, slowly inhaling and slowly exhaling. I was taking very deep breaths in hopes that it would think I was calm and it could let me go. I apologized over and over for testing its existence. With my eyes still closed, I began praying for it to let me go, but it&#8217;s grip only got tighter. I think it wanted me to be scared of it. My breathing got faster again, I couldn&#8217;t help it, I was scared for my life, like any moment it could just as easily throw me against the wall. I made eye contact with Ryan again after what felt like an eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remembered I needed to flip my grilled cheese sandwich over at the same time I heard Ryan answer his phone.
