sometime back in the early 90s
my then girlfriend and I
lived in a Victorian terraced house
nothing overtly spooky ever occurred there apart from the neighbors complaining
that someone had been in their house
and moved things around while they were away
they were alarmed enough to call the police
and seeing as there was a shared roof space along the Terrace we were briefly questioned
as were the other neighbors
weirdly the police asked if there had been any paranormal activity in either of our houses
which we obviously laughed off at the time
a few months later
my girlfriend and I were laying in bed with the lights out
I was on my back with my eyes open
when slowly a luminescent hollow ball faded into view
seemingly made up of lots of very small dim fluorescent rods
like the magnified pictures of bacteria you see
the ball was about a meter across
and perhaps a meter and a half above the middle of the bed
it was obvious I was having some kind of pre-sleep hallucination
a few seconds later
it faded and I turned to my girlfriend and said
I just saw a small ball of light floating over the bed
she had seen it too
we lay there shocked
soon after another Hollow ball
appeared this time made up of dim fluorescent triangles
it lasted a few seconds and Faded Away
I think after that
our eyes were tightly shut
and heads went under the duvet
but the experience was never repeated
as far as any of us saw
I told this story to somebody once
and they wonder what would have happened
if we'd have reached up to this strange object
