When I was a kid, I was awakened with an urge to walk downstairs. By the time I got to the bottom of the stairs, I so scared that I couldn't step down to the floor. I got the feeling that there was something in the kitchen, so a peeked around the wall into the kitchen... There was nothing in the kitchen, but what I saw looking through the window is difficult to describe. I ran upstairs and began pounding on my parents bedroom door. I told them (through the door) that something is on our back porch, to which my dad replied;
"Get your ass back in bed, or I'll give you something worse to be scared of!" Translation: Time to hide my Hot Wheels tracks.
The same thing happened several times over the next month; each time the same image in the window. It just stood there staring at me. Thinking that I may be mistaking the LP light next to our pool for a facial image, I checked the window before going to bed... Nothing. I woke up one Saturday morning to find my dad removing the glass from the very same window. I asked; "Why are you removing the glass?" He relied;
"Because, there's a hole in it." My dad said that the way the glass cut was just not possible. The piece that was cut out was placed on the center of a napkin atop the kitchen table. The most amazing aspect was that it matched the hole without variance, regardless of how he positioned it to the hole. A geometrically perfect circle. I also never again awakened with the urge to go downstairs after that day.
Am I saying what I saw through the window was an alien? No. All I know, is that someone/something was looking at me through that window. Whether or not the hole in the window had anything to do with what I saw, I have no idea? Northeast Ohio is a strange place. It has a "vibe" about it. Oberlin, Amherst, Lorain, Elyria... Most attribute it to the massive amount of Indian burials in the area. My mother use to have prophetic dreams that 90% of the time came to be true. I asked her years later; "Do you still get those dreams?" She replied;
"They stopped when we left Ohio."
