Carol
"Have you ever been hypnotized" she asked me. I told her that it wasn't really a thing. It's just a show that they did on stages with so-called volunteers from the audience. "No, it's not just a show. I can do it. I've been studying all about it. I even took a course at school this semester." So I told her, "No way, I tell you it can't be done. And if someone pretends to be under a spell or whatever they're just playing along for some reason." When told me she could prove it I said "Go ahead hypnotize someone I dare you. Get your mom or dad in here and do it to them." Carol confessed she couldn't do that, but only because they weren't home right now. "How about I hypnotize you? Can I do it to you? That would prove it wouldn't it?" When she said wouldn't make me act like I was a chicken and cluck. "Okay you can try it if you think you can."
"Okay just sit back and try to relax. I won't make you do anything stupid, no chicken clucking. Nothing you wouldn't do naturally." Carol pulled a shiny thing out of her pocket with a silver chain through an eyelet. "Now if you're ready I want you to watch this magic globe as it slowly puts you to sleep." She made it swing back and forth ever so slowly. "No don't move your head. Just your eyes as you watch it, back and forth, back and forth." The pendulum was slowly swinging and I could see flashing colored lights within it. I could feel my eyes getting heavy. "When I count backwards from ten to one you will be sound asleep" Cindy began to count, "Ten...nine...eight...seven"
Several months later I was told all that happened. It took that long to convince Carol to tell me the whole story. I didn't believe her until Cleo, her sister, confirmed it. At first I thought they were working together just to humiliate me. But when Cleo told me about the birthmark I have on my groin I had to believe them. Unless you are real close and look hard it can't be seen because it is light in color and hidden in the hair down there. Carol didn't even know about it until she looked after Cleo talked about it. To say I was truly embarrassed would be an understatement.
I was sitting on the couch with my head laid back. "Can you hear me?" and in a clear normal voice I told her "Yes." She told me to look straight ahead and I did. "Okay, now sit up properly." and I did. It looked like I was trying to impress an important person. She waved her hand in front of my face and I didn't react. "Will you do whatever I tell you?" Again I told her "Yes." She had me stand up and balance on one foot, sit on the floor, lay back and put my hands across my chest like a dead person. Next she had me get up and sit back on the couch. "Will you follow my orders and do whatever I want you to?" "Yes."
Then she left the room and she was gone for a few minutes. When she came back she was followed by her older sister Cloe. "See, I've got him completely under my control. I told you I could do it." Cloe looked at her sister and then me and back at her, "What? I don't see anything. He's sitting there. So what does that prove?" Carol walked over, stood in front of me and said, "Touch your nose with your middle finger of your right hand." which I did. "Okay, so you guys are having fun with me. Can I go back to my book now?" Carol turned back to Cloe, "He really is hypnotized. You don't believe me. Ask me to have him do something. I can make him do anything, anything at all." So she said, "Have him cluck like a chicken." Carol wilted, "I can't do that. I promised him I wouldn't make him cluck." Cloe started to leave the room, stopped, turned around, "Make him stand up and take off his shirt."
And that's when it took a turn. When I took off my shirt Cloe said, "Wow, he has a nice body. Under those baggy shirts you can't see all the muscles can you?" It looked like Cloe was thinking, she told Carol to make me drop my pants. I stood there in just my boxers and socks, looking kind of silly.
"Now, off with his socks. He looks kind of stupid with socks on and no pants." I almost fell over when Carol had me take them off while standing. Both of them laughed at my antics as I struggled to stay upright. Without a suggestion Carol told me, "Stand up straight and tall. Pretend you're a soldier on parade. There, now do you believe me? I've got him practically naked in front of you. He would never do that if he was awake would he?"
