70 into a scared ball. I noticed this, and thought huh, I wonder what’s up...? as I pet her. Her tail flicked around with agitated energy. After a few minutes of me reading my book while petting her, we both had the urge to look up at my brother’s bed at the same exact moment...and that’s when I saw this white laser line looking thing appear about a foot over his bed, horizontally over the spot where he would normally lay. My cat froze up when that happened, and her tail stopped in mid-flick, and she just stared at it, bug eyed. The line appeared out of thin air, was about 2-3 feet long, glowing white, and slightly thicker in the middle than at the ends. It glowed brightly for several seconds over Joe’s bed, reaching its peak intensity, then faded back out again. It never made any noise. No other phenomenon accompanied it. Afterwards, I called my brother at work to tell him about it, and see what he thought it was. He just laughed and said “Damn! I missed my connecting flight!” The line “Astral Pow Wow”/Abduction. April 2002 I believe - Tom was still back in Iowa at this point, and I was living in Fort Lauderdale. He was going to be moving down to Florida in June, after school finished, but by that point I just couldn’t wait to see him. The feeling of wanting to see him was so intense that I apparently made it happen. I brought him to me. I woke up in the middle of night, finding myself lying on my left side on the carpet in the middle of the room, with my right arm around him. He was physical but I wasn’t in my body. I soon realized this when my hand touching his skin was buzzing. My whole “body” was buzzing in fact. I realized this straight off, but despite being out of my body, and despite the situation - something I had NEVER experienced before - I kept my wits about me and had my usual sense of humor. I joked to myself, “Well, I went to bed alone, and woke up with a guy in my apartment!” :D Words don’t convey the level of happiness I felt though. I “sat up” in my astral body, gazing down at him, feeling the most incredibly pure love I think I’ve ever felt for anybody. I reached my hand out and laid it on his chest, and that’s when he started to wake up. His head moved suddenly from his right to the left, taking a big breath, and as he awoke, the connection broke. I started involuntarily floating up and away from him, towards the ceiling, with my hand reaching out to him. Rapid scene switch, and now he’s gone from the apartment, and I’m sliding backwards from Chasing Phantoms i
