In 1975, at age 16, I worked the Graveyard shift at the Chamberlain Hotel, Fort Monroe, Va. I was Bell Hop during the day and Elevator Operator 3rd shift. The top floor (8th) was closed. We were told for repairs, rumors stated that it was haunted. The elevator had a brass gate that was manually opened and closed and a hand operated level, when rotated counter-clockwise the elevator went down, clockwise up and you had to drive it slowly to level with each floor. I would take the elevator to the 8th floor with a big leather chair and station it directly outside of the elevator. This was my snoozing spot during the early morning hours 2AM to 6AM until summons by a passenger by means of a buzzer. Soldiers and Airmen were residing in the Hotel at the time, which meant my sleep was interrupted frequently at all hours of the night. One particular morning around 3:00AM I heard the buzzer while snoozing on the condemned floor (8th). I opened my eyes immediately to respond to the buzzer, but I could not move. I could feel weight/pressure on my chest as if someone was holding me down. I could see my surroundings and hear this humming noise which I have experience numerous times since. I was so horrified by this experience that I could do nothing but pray, moments later the humming ceased and the pressure was released and I jumped to my feet, hopped in the elevator and that was my last visit to the 8th floor. This has occurred dozens of times since, some contribute it to Soul Travel. I've experienced this while attempting to get out of bed, eyes open, can see my surroundings, usually with a cluster of white pin lights on the ceiling, moving toward or away from me with the humming sound. I was told to Pray- "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ" after a dozen chants of this the humming would cease, the light would move away from me and the paralyzing effects would end. This is more frightening than the Scariest Horror movie ever made. For more details email me at: dgi_2004@hotmail.com.
