A New Zealander builder is staying at a motel in Te Anau while working on a job. During his stay, he encounters a shadow being that pins him down while uttering a low groaning sound.
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. This experience happened to my son a year ago. My son is a builder. He is 27 now. Brent lives in Invercargill, New Zealand and this happened where we live in Te Anau which is 2 hours from Invercargill. He was staying at a motel called the Anchorage while doing some work at a school. Brent has a twin brother who has had shadow man experiences too.
I've also shared this with Cam and Kyle and was so pleased when they read it out on their show. I love your show and the connection you have with Expanded Perspectives.
Many thanks for your work. Catherine"

This is Brent's story as he wrote it:
"I'm working in Te Anau for the week, It's early Tuesday morning, I haven't slept well, and my shoulder still hurts.
I hear what I think is the door to my room opening, I think in my head What the hell does my workmate want this early? (I remember feeling annoyed because I thought my workmate was invading my space too early in the morning) I also think it's strange it's still dark, if he wanted my attention surely he would turn on the lights or knock first.
I turn my eyes to the door, but this is all I'm able to do, I can't move, speak, or respond in any way, it's like there's a heavy weight over my entire body, at this point my heart is beating a little faster than normal.
I can see a figure open the slider slightly, enter the room, and move from the doorway to beside my bed in the darkness, I can only describe it as a pure black figure with a big head and pretty tall as well, with no facial features at all, it stands there looking at me for a second before uttering a low noise. ''aaaahhhhh'' but not yelling, just a low vocal noise, at this point I have a terrible feeling of doom and defenselessness like something bad will happen that I cant stop.
I begin struggling against this force holding me down, although paralysed. It takes incredible effort, I try to yell f*ck off (all I could think to say at the moment) I try to jump out of bed but I cannot. It disappears after a few moments and I get up and look at my phone, its 5.45 am, 15 minutes before my alarm is set to go off after it's gone I don't feel like I woke up, I felt I was awake the whole time, but I definitely felt the weight lift from me and it was all over."
