Experience description:
I had agreed to go
out on a blind date with my girlfriend and her boy friend. The evening started
out at a drive Inn and my friend and the guys started drinking and doing drugs.
I had one beer I didn't go in for that kind of stuff. My girlfriend and her
boyfriend eventually passed out in back seat. When we left the drive-In I was
so glad to be going home because I had spent most of the night fending this guy
off. I didn't notice right away that he wasn't going the right way. I said
to him, your going the wrong way. He said I have to make a stop first. Next
thing I know he stops and all around us is just woods. he got out of the car and
came around to my side and said get out. I said why then he just grabbed my arm
and pulled me out. I yelled for my friend but she was passed out and didn't
respond.
He dragged me
into the woods I don't know how far. I remember crying and asking him to let me
go. He must of hit me and knocked me out because this is where my experience
began. It felt like I walked through a door of some kind. It was all dark
but not a scary dark. I didn't feel fear; I felt calm and started to wonder were
I was. All of a sudden there was a very bright light. As I turned toward
the light, the things that happened next, happened really fast. This voice came
out of the light and at the same time I slammed back in my body. I felt my lips
move. The voice in the light said I'll quit crying. At that moment I
became aware that he was sitting on top of me he had been punching me in the
face. With what I said he immediately stopped and let me get up. Something in my
head kept telling me get to the car. I didn't know where the car was. It
was as if something was directing me as I got to my feet and started moving. I
saw two people standing there but they had long robes on and it was a woman and
man. The only thing I thought when I saw them was "who are they" and "how
strange" Then that voice in my head said "get to the car." Some how, I
don't know how I did it, but I made it to the car, and finally woke my friend. I
am glad to say I survived but I know that I wouldn't have if not for the help I
received.
