Hallucinating? Maybe not

This is gonna be a long story, but should be pretty interesting.

Last year, when I was on hydrocodone I saw a figure of a woman in my bedroom. She was a light image... golden/yellow, almost transparent, but visible. At the time I shrugged it off as being a figment of my imagination brought on by a reaction to the meds.

But then I noticed that my dogs would (and still do from time to time) stare at the upper corner of my bedroom. They would (and again still do) come and stand in the doorway of my bathroom at my feet, look at me and then stare off at the same corner.

There were a couple of times afterwards that I thought I saw her, but I just ignored it and kept quiet. She wasn't bothering me, she wasn't being malicious, so let her do her thing.

A few weeks later my fiance saw the same figure in the hallway. He described to me what he had seen, and the description was almost identical to what I saw. He also said that there were times when he was sleeping in late that he felt someone "playing" with his feet, but he was alone on the bed, no dogs, no cats, just him.

There were a few strange things, like my figurines being inexplicably turned backwards, silly things disappearing (besides the TV remotes, those walk off all the time). But as I said, nothing malicious, so we came to the conclusion she was a guardian, just watching over us.

After my 13 yr old son returned home from the hospital he began "hallucinating"... he was on some pretty high doses of some pretty potent meds... he kept seeing a figure of light moving around the room. He swore it was on the sofa bed with him and that it was turning the angel figurines around. He kept us up for hours one night fussing about it. I told him it was his guardian angels, and to go to bed and say his prayers, and ask them to sit still so he could get some sleep. He still kept waking us up. My fiance went out and looked, but didn't see anything. My fiance stayed with him until he quieted down and fell asleep, but he didn't see anything.

The next day I called the Dr., told him my son was hallucinating, and they decreased his meds. by half. Two weeks later my son has still been seeing this figure.

Last night we finally got his mattress back in his room (we moved it out to paint while he was gone)and he slept in there. After he'd been in his room laying down for a while he came and told me... "Mom, I'm not seeing the lights in my room, it was only in the living room".

Bizarre.

We had elminated every possiblility of light illusions, made sure the computer monitor was off, made sure the fish tank lights were off, etc., etc. and he was still seeing this light figure "walking around" the room, from place to place, not over top of him sleeping on the pull-out bed, but around the bed... deliberate motion(?). He goes to his bedroom last night, with no window coverings, and he's not seeing it... hmmm... Maybe she just didn't realize where he was last night?

It's a true story, I swear my imagination doesn't work this well any more.

So.... what do you think?
