Screaming or howling

I am looking for a place to stay for the next few weeks while I take a course in a new city. I know that a certain motel/hostel/dorm has spots available for students, but they also fill up fast. So I head over there as soon as I am in town. Luckily, there is a place available. Unluckily, it is haunted by the victim of a mean-spirited (and presumably lethal) prank by members of a fraternity or something. We do not actually have those here, but it was a group of guys and they were terrible people. So now the ghost violently murders people who stay in the dorms. There is a woman screaming. I am running towards her as she is being dragged into a fluffy duvet or pile of pillows. I really should emphasize that they were unabashedly evil pillows, with the electrifying reek of corrupted darkness emanating from them. I grab the woman by the elbows, and she tells me No, it will get you, too! I cannot hold her, and my arm ends up dragged into the rift. Excruciating, electric pain arcs up my right arm (the kind of pain that you only feel in dreaming, where it overwhelms everything and it hurts but does not feel like pain in waking life). I try to pull my arm away, but there is resistance, sucking me into the rift. I rip my arm away-- But the bleeding, rotten darkness is still everywhere and there is nowhere to go-- I wake up. I reality check, tapping my fingers against the sheets. One-two-three-four-five. Genuinely awake. Damn ghost thinks it is going to get the better of me, huh? I slip back into dreaming. I am back in the dorm room, and it is quiet. Shadows whisper along the ceiling and in the dark corners of the room. I hold out a hand, and the shadows still. The ripping, tearing thing leaps into me, but I am ready this time. I channel the pain, force the thing out of my body until it faces me, forced to its knees on the floor. Let us solve your problem. My terms.
