This took place about 6 years ago when I lived with my mom and
stepfather. We stayed in two story house and my bedroom was
downstairs while the other bedrooms, living room, and kitchen were
all upstairs. The backyard bordered a canyon and there was a lot of
trees and brush.
When this particular incident took place it was about 10pm on a
Friday night and two friends and I were in my bedroom getting ready
to go out to a club. We had not been drinking or anything of the
such. My parents had already gone to bed but I heard voices
upstairs as we were getting ready to leave so I went up to check.
My stepfather was comforting my mother and she looked terrified.
They said that she woke up with the worst feeling of dread and
sadness that she'd ever felt as if something terrible had or was
about to happen. My mother has never been one to make things up and
she could not have faked the horrible look in her eyes.
We decided to look around outback when my mother said she felt like
something or someone was there. By this time my friends (Craig and
Israel) had come up to see what was going on. We got a flashlight
and one of those big spotlight flashlights and scanned the backyard
for any sign of animals, people, or anything else. We did this from
behind the closed sliding glass door since we didn't really know
what was out there. We didn't see anything and it was a clear night
so Craig, Israel and I went out to the back porch and looked some
more. I had the large spotlight and I looked through the bushes and
the porch itself and even straight up to the sky thinking I might
see birds or something. Nothing.
We concurred that there was nothing there and then it started
drizzling rain. I remember saying "that figures" but then it
occurred to me that it was a clear night. I looked up at the sky
again but didn't see any drops. I started to get nervous and used
the spotlight to look up but there was no rain coming down, yet I
felt it pattering on my face and arms. I looked very carefully but
could only feel the rain. I asked Israel "do you see that" never
mentioning rain and he looked for a few seconds then his eyes got
real big and he said "there's no rain!" He clearly felt it too. We
ran inside the house immediately and locked the door. We both
confirmed that we'd experienced the same thing and decided to not
investigate any further outside.
We never could find any explanation for the occurrence as there
weren't any sprinklers within reach of where we were at. The sky
was clear and even if there were, we couldn't see the drops with
flashlights.
