I'm wide awake and alone and someone is tapping me on the shoulder?

Question

during these past few my spouse's snoring has become a bit too much for me, so i sleep on the fold out bed in the living room. for the past three weeks, i've been laying in bed, by myself, wide awake and someone/thing taps on my shoulder, like it is trying to get my attention. up until a night or so ago, i was ghastly afraid to turn over to see who it was.

as i said, a few nights ago, the 'being' tapped my on the shoulder and i finally rolled over. from my point of view in bed, i can see the glass door leading to my back deck. outside of the glass door is an odd looking fellow who looks kind of like paul newman from pee wee's playhouse.

i've never seen this person at any point in my life. it wasn't a stalker/burgler because the man was wearing a nice white tuxedo. i don't know what to make of this. this is either a very realistic dream or some kind of apparation.

i've talked to friends about it and they scoff. to be honest, i think it's the devil himself.

any ideas/ opinions

Answer 2

Must be pretty creepy to be stalked by Pee Wee Herman in a white tux!

I'd be worried, too!

Let me cover a few possibilities that come to mind.

(1)  This could be a hallucination due to some common medication you are taking, or even a common illness.  If you are on any prescription meds, read the pharmacy inserts or ask your doctor or pharmacist if hallucinations could be a side effect.  Also, if you haven't had a complete physical check up lately, get one.  

(2) Stress, and a half sleep stage and cause this kind of sense of an apparition.  However, I'm not convinced there is not a spiritual reason for this.

(3)  This could be an evil spirit taunting you.  Carefully examine your life for activities that could open the door to such a manifestation.  Anything occult you've tried or done would be a probably source.

(4)  Pornography is a BIG possibility here.  Most people would be shocked to realize that pornography has any ties to evil spirits, but you wouldn't have to look far to see it, especially if you have ever  gotten attached to p**n and realize you are no longer in control of the situation.  When the voices start demanding that you "look" some more, and it starts to destroy your marriage and colors how you see the females in your life, you start to wonder if there is more to it than meets the eye.

If Pee Wee Herman or Paul Ruebens represents anything, it would be pornography.  He is essentially a symbol of arrested male development and pornography.  His show was canceled by CBS when he was caught fro indecent exposure at an "adult" bookstore/ theater.    

If this is a spirit, it is the spirit of sexual perversion knocking at your door, saying "Let me in."  He may act like "I'm not dangerous.  I'm no big deal.  Nobody will know.  See how "clean/pure/white" I am?"  But, you are sensing that he will "kill" you if you let him in.  Are you being tempted to look at p**n while your spouse is sleeping?

This may be a spirit, or it could be a vision from God alerting you to the fact that there IS a spirit luring you toward destruction.  Your awareness that this figure is truly NOT a good entity shows you have a sense of the danger involved.  Consider what temptations you have faced lately.... something you may be trying to justify or excuse.. but deep inside, you know TRULY you don't need to open that door.

Pray for wisdom.  Pray for strength.  Spend time reading the Bible and praying for God to cleanse your heart and mind and lead you to the frame of mind and ways you can address the issues that are making your vulnerable to this temptation.

If this is on target for you, and you want more help with it, let me know, and I'll see if I can point you to some good links or resources, ok?

God bless you,

Fairelight

Answer 3

Ignore it and sleep, since it's trying to get your attention...don't give it any. Don't invite unneccesary visitor into your house.

Answer 4

Well I don't think the devil comes wearing a white tux, but who knows. I can tell you that I have been touch on my right shoulder three taps- three time in a signal night. A friend of mine got tapped three times on her right shoulder about an hour after I did on the same night. Strange. We didn't feel anything negative. Next time, just ask him what he wants. Maybe he is a spirit guide.

Answer 7

Well I am a huge believer in the paranormal. I have had a few personal experiences to lead me to believe that spirits are real and sometimes they never cross over to the other side (i.e. I've seen people walk by and no one was there, heard voices, my dog would bare her teeth and bark at the wall [animals are very perceptive to things that humans cannot see], had my light switch flick off, as well as my TV, and I often get the feeling I am being watched.) People believe in different things. If you saw a man outside your door, and you feel he wasn't a person, but an apparition, then he very may well be. You say you get the feeling he is the devil himself? What would make you feel this way? I could understand being frightened, but is there some sinister feeling he gives off? Do you feel threatened in any way? Most likely if you don't feel threatened then it's not a bad ghost. There are also different types of spirits. There are residual hauntings (the most common type), which is like a playback or recording of something that you see that has happened in the past (footsteps, a woman walking in the same spot at the same time of day, weird scents). These hauntings don't even know you are there, and are harmless. There are intelligent hauntings, which are pretty rare. These are actual human spirits, and most of the time the living are able to communicate with them in some sort of way. They can open doors, windows, and even try to interact with you in some way because there may be some unfinished business they are trying to take care of before crossing over. The last type of haunting is a demonic or inhuman haunting. These are the hauntings that can be very dangerous, and usually are still on earth because they are angry in some way.

To me it sounds like you have an intelligent haunting. If you in no way feel threatened, and this man is the one tapping on your shoulder, maybe he is trying to tell you something? If I were you I would try and not be afraid (I know, it's hard!). If you see him again try communicating with him. You may feel silly doing this, but ask him why he taps on your shoulder why you're sleeping. Ask him if he's there to hurt you, or if he needs help crossing over.

Also, you could try getting a simple tape recorder and try asking questions, pausing in between each one... in hopes you will get an answer, from an unknown voice that was not there when asking a question. It is best to do this when it is quiet. This is called EVP, electronical voice phenomenon. I actually caught an EVP about 3 years ago in my bedroom of a man, saying something like, "Get out of here." My friend and I were goofing off on a kareoke machine and in no way heard the man when we were messing around.

You do not have to choose to believe me, but most people who do believe in ghosts believe because of their personal experiences. I am religious in no way, but I believe that there is a life after this one, and we are not entirely gone when we die. I really hoped this helped, and I am really interested what has happened here. Please let me know if you have tried communicating with him, I'm interested in knowing what happens  :)

Hmm. You get the feeling he would kill you? If you feel threatened, then do what someone else suggested. Tell him to get away from your home and leave you alone. Let him know he is not welcome there, and you want him to leave right away. You could say this all out loud in your home, as he might be around. Spirits can manifest themselves if they want you to see them. I would still try doing the EVP recording though. Ask questions like, "Are you the man in the white tuxedo?", "Are you here to hurt me?", "What is your name?", "Why do you tap on my shoulder?", "Do you need help?". Then play back the tape and see if you can find anything. You will have to listen very closely (I would suggest turning the volume up), but there might be something there.

Good luck!

Answer 8

could be. did he disappear?? once my bed started shaking and i thought it was the cat.  but it wasnt. then a couple of days later i was in a deep sleep and it shook so hard it woke me up! i finally had enough so i screamed for 'it' to leave me alone. it did not shake again. if you still sleep there get out a recorder and see what is on it the next morning

Answer 9

Don't be scared at any point if there is another "tapping" encounter; your thoughts are powerful and can send him away packing, just don't do it with hatred; but with conviction that he doesn't belong in your home.

You're seeing a spirit and by your sense of him, he's not a good spirit.  I recommend you to do these things:

1) light a white candle whenever you're in the house and while you sleep  for about 30 days, say a short prayer when you light it, that will protect you.    

2) burn some frankincense incense, it cleans the spiritual energies of your home inside;  one stick a day for 30 days.

3) buy "California White Sage", this herb is a spiritual cleanser and you would do this twice the 1st month, then once there after for about 3-6 more months.  Light this bundle of sage and starting from the back of the house use the smoke like an eraser and spread the gentle frangrant smoke from top to bottom in every room, making your way out towards the front door, and out into the porch or garage.  

Read more about it in this article from About.com "What is Shamanic Cleansing?"

You can buy this herb "California White Sage $3.95 from "Taosherb.com"  Taos Herb Company:

Lastly, I recommend that you place a mirror in the front entryway of your home, place it so that it reflects almost directly to the front door.  Most entry foyers  allow you to do this very conveniently.   This will avoid any bad energies from entering your home, after the shamanic cleansing.

If you're a believer of any faith, you can also pray and imagine there is a force field of protection around you and your entire house.   This spirit is a bad one and you need to protect yourself, or he could mean you harm.

PS Don't let your wife and friends scoff at you; this can only be understood by one's own personal experience, like yours.  Do these things with respect and conviction, there is a lot of ignorance of the spiritual world, but it is real.
