My encounter with the evil spirit

It was around one year back that this event happened. It was a normal day, I don’t remember if anything strange had happened that day. It was about 9 p.m. I used to sleep alone in the first floor of my house. Let me explain the design of my house. First floor has two bed rooms, a toilet, a hall and a balcony. One side of the hall has a swing. I used to sleep in one of the bedrooms. I used to sleep there since our house was built.
The swing was a latter addition to our house. I had never slept in the swing. I had the desire to sleep in the swing in the hall for a long time. That night I decided to sleep in the swing. I took my pillow and bed sheets from my bed and moved to the swing.
I used to have my dinner and move to the first floor quickly to message my girl friends because no one will be there to disturb me. I lay down on the swing and started messaging one of my girl friends. A normal conversation went on between us. Usually her last message would be “Good night. Sweet dreams”. But that night it was kind of strange. It read “Good night. You will get devil dreams tonight”. The actual reason for this message was that I was playing with her saying that Trisha came in my dream the previous night.
It was time for me to sleep. I am from a village and people usually sleep by 9 pm and wake up early to start their work in their farm. It was around 10 pm. It was high time for me to sleep. I never thought I would have a nightmare that night. I had a good sleep. In the midst of the sleep I had a dream.

The dream went like this. In the dream I am lying on the same swing and a lady is moving towards me. Let me explain her. She was a woman of normal height; a bit pale, in white saree (which is the default dress for devils in Tamilnadu). She bent towards me and held my knees strong to the swing. At that very moment I understood that it was a dream and the next thought in my mind was “Sugan wake up, it’s just a dream”.
What happened then was really a shocking thing. I was not able to wake up. The thought which was going in my mind was “Wake up, it’s just a dream”. But I couldn’t. Then I started doubting whether it was a dream or it was a real devil in front of me playing pranks with me. I struggled a lot to wake up. I shook my hands and legs to wake up, but in vain. After a few minutes of struggle I woke up. None was there. I moved to the place where I usually sleep and had a sound sleep. I won’t say it’s just a dream. It’s a nightmare. Might be its some kind of mental trauma or something like that. But it was my first experience with the evil spirit and wish it will be the last one too. After this incident I never dare to sleep in that swing again.
When I shared this incident with my friends, I learnt that some others also have had few experiences like this. Do you have one? If so post it as a comment.
