Why Did I Wake Up With 3 Unexplained Scratches/Cuts on My Body?

A Global and Shared Experience

Certain strange phenomena occur frequently and affect individuals across the globe but are rarely discussed. Thanks to the internet, however, people who observe unusual occurrences—in this case, waking up with three scratches somewhere on their bodies—are now starting to talk to each other. Those suffering from nocturnal scratches and abrasions with no tangible cause are turning to the web to seek answers. There are many of us out there, and some of us are starting to realize that we may be suffering from the same phenomenon.

When I say it like that, it sounds crazy, right? Sure it does. It sounds crazy to me too, and I'm the one writing about the phenomenon of unexplainable scratches appearing on human flesh. When people start to wake up with scratches that defy logical explanation, the following questions come to mind:

• What does this mean?
• Why is this happening?
• Who else is it happening to?
• Am I crazy, or is this real?
• What can I do to stop this?

What Do Unexplained Scratches Mean?

Over the course of my research and communication with other afflicted individuals, I've collected the following information regarding the phenomenon of waking up to unexplained scratches on the body.

• These scratches usually come in threes. They can be parallel, crossed, or random but most often appear in sets of three.
• The most common areas on which the scratches appear are the back, arms, legs, and face.
• In addition to the mysterious scratches, many individuals also experience inexplicable bite marks and bruising.
• These strange injuries seem to appear at times in our lives when temptation is near or when we're facing a big decision.
• This phenomenon doesn't restrict itself to one country. It has afflicted many individuals and families around the world.

Thousands of victims, myself included, have turned to the internet to search for answers and insight about the three unexplainable scratches that have appeared on our bodies.

Personal Stories About Mysterious, Random, and Unexplained Scratches

The following are testimonials from real victims of the phenomenon, most of whom discovered the injuries in sets of three upon waking from sleep. These are real comments from readers who have experienced scratches and other mysterious events.

Personal Powers: Gift or Curse?

"I found this site via a search on paranormal scratches. I'm the victim of this phenomenon. This has been happening to me for the last 6 years. At first, I thought it was just something odd or that maybe one of my cats scratched me and I didn't remember. I actually watched them form one night and had witnesses to the event. They were raised like welts and turned bloody. After about three days, they completely disappeared. I've had them in places I can't reach, which rules out self-infliction. I've had them on my face, neck, arms, legs, and back. Over the years, I've almost gotten used to them.

I was told that it might be a ghost in my house, but when I moved, it kept happening. Also, other people that have been close to me have been affected as well. I know this is bizarre and doesn't fit the norm, so I'm here in search of answers. I've been advised by someone who tried to help me that it may, in fact, be my own psychic doing.

Let me explain. We all have personal spiritual energy, and there's a lot about the human mind we are only starting to understand. It's been suggested that I have certain powers or gifts that are making this happen. This power comes at a price, though. It's painful and has affected others I know.

The bloody scratch marks eventually heal and disappear, but nonetheless, it's scary. I'm not saying that I'm some kind of warlock or anything like that. The reality is I don't know what's going on or how to deal with this. I could use some help. So I've chosen the grassroots method and decided to find others like me. The person I'm currently talking to has been very helpful, but she is only one source of information. I would like to hear from others. Thanks."

Looking for Answers

"I wake up sometimes, and I have scratches on my upper body, on the front and back of my right shoulder blade, and my stomach on the right side. I don't inflict them on myself, and I also do not have any animals. Where do you think they are coming from?"

An Ongoing Battle With a Relentless Foe

"On way too many occasions, I have woken up with bad bruises on my body. I know that at work, I often bump my arms and legs into things, but these bruises are on my torso. Unless someone pinched me or hit me, I can not figure out where I got them. On several occasions, my husband has noticed bruising on my back and scratching on my back as if someone had just scratched me. They are not bleeding, but they are fresh. I have had dealings in the past with paranormal experiences where I have been pushed down a flight of stairs or punched in the back. I call to the power of the Lord, Jesus Christ, to rid me of these attacks. It usually works. But, the Devil just does not like to let go."

Demonic Damage

"The scratches, if not self-inflicted, are definitely demonic. There have been thousands of these afflictions in the past, and 90% have a demonic origin.

There is Biblical evidence of this, and it can be overcome. But don't go to a Catholic priest for prayer; they will just tie you up in religious jargon. Call a reputable evangelist."

A Sobering Fright

"I am having these issues right now.

Yesterday I awoke with a large bruise on my forearm in the shape of a toothless human bite. The surrounding area is swollen, and I had 2 other people besides myself look for bug/spider bites(NONE)!

Today I have three scratches on the other forearm that became welt-like and burned. They are wider than cat scratches. Two of the scratches run straight up and down the forearm, and the third sort of curves towards the other two. They are all about two to two-and-a-half inches long. I don't smoke dope (speed, meth, whatever you want to call it) or crack, no alcohol, no over-the-counter pills."

Unhallowed Ground

"I was awoken around 2:24 am when my three-year-old son came running into my room screaming, "Get it away from me, get it away from me!" I opened my eyes as he climbed into bed between my wife and me. It was still dark in the room. I looked towards the foot of the bed. With God as my witness, clear as day, I saw a green face. I saw his eyes, nose, and mouth. His head was at the foot of the bed as if he was resting his chin on the bed. I screamed as loud as I could and reached for the light. By this time, I was standing on my pillow against the headboard... The face disappeared when I turned the light on. I turned every light on in my home and searched every closet, under every bed, every square inch. I found nothing!

We live in a township called Huron, believed to have been built on Indian burial grounds. I've been in the garage working underneath the car and have heard someone come in the door and close it and nobody was there at all. We have heard loud banging from the outside, which shakes the house: not one or two bangs but six or seven in a row. Once I called the police, and they searched the outer grounds. At the time, there were four inches of snow on the ground, and no one found a single footprint where the banging came from.

I have since moved out of that house, and my father continues to live there. He had three scratches on him last week. He also said he saw the green face in his room. I built a home on three acres on the property right next door. Nothing has happened in my new home as we had it blessed. But my father says he hears a man talking almost every night. He has woken to the sound of water running and has had to shut it off.
