Entity Attacks, Billy Bob Thornton, and Famous Monster

I am intrigued by the uncanny similarities between PostReason's Kartott experiences and some of my own so I want to post her story below, followed up by a link to an earlier posting in my Paranormal Musings blog relating to Sleep Paralysis and entity attacks. I do hate recycling my own material, but I like to keep my blog fresh, and today I have been busy working on promoting one of my films that is in distribution, Famous Monster: Forrest J Ackerman. No doubt many of you have heard about the weird Joaquin'esqe interview on CBC's 'The Q' featuring Billy Bob Thornton and his ModBilly band, BoxMasters. Thornton's strangest answer to the simple music-related inquiries of the interviewer referred to Forrest J Ackerman and his Famous Monsters of Filmland publication. (Here is a link to the material on my Famous Monster blog.) Well I just could not let the day go by without trying to move some of the hundreds of thousands of eyeballs in the form of Youtube hits on this wacky interview over to my Youtube Channel for the promotion of Famous Monster.

I think there's a word for producers like me ...

Anyhow, I digress. Here is Kartott's most interesting story.

Opening

When I was about 33, while in deep meditation with my yoga group, I sensed an entity behind me. I had previously sensed them in meditation before, so this was not alarming. I typically felt their presence as comforting and supportive. However, the entity this night was different. It was stronger, it presented a more distinct identity than usual. I next felt the entity behind me place its hands on my shoulders. At that instant of touch, I felt a rush of intense /light/ (as in radiant) energy course down through the crown of my head immediately followed by my body being "thrown" from a traditional sitting posture onto the floor. To other members in my group, it probably appeared I was having some kind of seizure as my body was shaking violently. This settled down after a few minutes but from my perspective here is what I felt: after the initial rush of energy, after my body was effectively being controlled by it, I experienced a second "cold" energy come into play, moving from the ends of my limbs (starting with toes and fingers) toward my body core. This is difficult to explain...the cold energy continued to move up my limbs and the closer it got the more I became scared. Prior to this I in a state of a sort of detached observation - but at this point, it was different. I felt that if that cold energy reached my heart I might die or something, yet I was helpless to do anything about it. Oddly, almost as soon as I had this thought / fear, someone in the group literally grabbed me into a bear hug. This stopped it. I was rather stunned - it was as if a switch had been thrown. In the years that followed, I seemed to have an altered -- more activated -- sense of other phenomena, dreams, visions.

And here is the link to my Entity Attack experience. Or perhaps it was simple Sleep Paralysis? Personally I don't think so.

(Thanks to Mike Clelland for the notion. If you like this sort of stuff, Mike's Blog is a Must Read, as is Autumn Forest's Ghost hunting Theories - any relation to Forrest J?)
