Help Me Figure This Out: Black Dog
Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:43 pm
Hello everyone,
So it has been years since this incident happened. I am in my 20's now and it happened when I was a kid around 10/11 but I still remember it vividly. After that event, I searched online and googled about it but found nothing as a result. I have told friends and family members and no one has much to say about it.
I was in Asia and it was the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month I believe. Nothing about that fact spooked me out or made me think obsessionally about spiritual beings because it was common in Asia and I have not had any weird experiences before this event. My mother, sister and I was back from my dancing class, it was around 10pm, fairly early, we watched some TV and went to bed. Since we were still kids, my mother used to sleep on a little bed in our room. So three of us shared a room.
We slept at around 11pm I remembered and all was well. At one point in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a faint sound, faint enough to be outside of my two-storey house but close enough for me to hear it. I always have my window panes opened with net covers to seal it for ventilation purposes.
So the sound was of a bell, something like a dog would wear on its collar. Both my neighbours had dogs but none of the dogs have collars whatsoever. I found it strange but ignored. The bell went on and on, which meant the dog was moving. I could hear muffled sounds and weak barks. Like a Master and its dog communicating but I can't pinpoint the language or the subject of conversation. Based on the voice alone, I could tell the Master was female. The Master was very nice and gentle to the dog based on the tone of the voice. The sound would changed in loudness like they are moving from the side of my house to the back and it went on for what seemed like hours.
Both my neighbours were male. Since it kept going on, the muffled voice, bell and soft barks; I started getting creeped out and cold. I froze in my bed, keeping my eyes closed. I could hear the bell from the collar getting louder like it was nearing my room. Part of my mind told me it was impossible for anyone to get into my house but my senses told me otherwise. I strongly felt that the Master and her dog was outside my bedroom door for some reason. I started getting cold sweats.
That went on for a while until at one point I turned to my right to check if my sister was sleeping as I wanted to tell her about it. We both have our own single beds but it was about one foot apart, so it wasn't that far away. To my horror, I saw my sister hugging a big black dog. The dog was as big as her. She was sleeping peacefully, I freaked out and jumped out of bed to my mother and told her, "There's a dog!". My mother was sleeping and woke up, asked me, "Whaaat?". I told her I saw something and she said it was nothing and told me to go back to sleep.
I was so afraid to walk back to my bed in case I saw the same thing. But it was my sister hugging her blanket now, in the same position. I slept after that, there was no sound anymore. I am not an animal lover and neither is my sister, so that event was highly unusual. The dog doesn't look vicious or mean. The fact that it is huge, a foot away from me, freaked me out more than anything, and it was pure black in colour.
I searched online and apparently it is linked to death or the devil. No death has occurred in my family shorty after the event.
I still find this experience highly unusual and hope someone can give me some insight about it. Thank you!
