a Log on the Fire because the night is still young my cousin's creepy neighbor from Cassidy all over again I was spending the night at one of my cousins houses I'll call them Charlie with all my other cousins I should make it clear we aren't biological relatives we were really close and so were our parents so it's just like we are family we were split off into boys and girls there were 11 of us total six boys and five girls yeah I don't know how our parents managed that luckily we were on a farm with

quite a few Acres surrounding the house the boys would take the sun room near the front of the house while us girls would take the toy room at the back of the house the boys had the sun room because it was bigger and there were more boys the toy room we were staying in had this door leading to the backyard where we would play games swing on the swing sets and jump on the trampoline we spent hours out there behind the 300 M we called our backyard there was a little bit of dense forest on

the other side of that was Charlie's neighbor's house Charlie's neighbor was a weird old man I'm guessing late 40s or early 50s he would always coincidentally be in the forest between the two houses whenever one of us kids would go and play on the trampoline or in the backyard near the woods worst of all he would always talk to us especially the young girls he'd say things like hello ladies is Dad home and you want to come to my house I made some cookies you could try every time we would just reply no and go

back inside Charlie's mom and dad both told us not to listen to him and if he came on our property to go get one of the adults he had been warned by Charlie's father a few times and once Charlie's father had come out armed because the man had started to get aggressive Charlie's mom said we could also come to her if he tried anything but we all knew she was just as terrified as we were of that man she would also get constantly harassed by him whenever she was out hanging the washing or feeding the

dogs at night she would get it much worse things like is your husband home when's the last time you've been satisfied and why don't you come by my my house later she would reply quietly and just like us go inside one other time we were all staying at Charlie's we saw her mother come in and call Charlie's father into the bedroom most of us kids were trying to hear what was going on on the other side of the door we heard muffled whispering and crying Charlie's father then left with a weapon and walked out the

door turns out the creepy man said something terrible to the mother that us kids never found out we know it was something to do with ending all of us except Charlie's mother and kidnapping her instead doing who knows what to her we tried to get the police involved but they gave him a verbal warning and told us they couldn't do much due to a lack of evidence now back to what I firsthand experienced we were playing on the trampoline after having a Nerf war when we heard a rustling sound in the bushes we went quiet

my little cousin held on to me I asked what was that thinking we were about to see some deer or maybe a coyote I used to live in Australia so I was pretty excited about seeing the average American animals Charlie shushed me and told me it probably wasn't that it was Dusk and I was high on sugar and around my cousins being one of the oldest there I was feeling a bit too brave who's out there I yelled out my voice echoing no response go on Show Yourself gabes yelled gabes is one of the other

boys who's the most outgoing in the group Stacy one of the girls suggested loudly that we should go back inside and check on dinner the other kids went in except Charlie Felix one of the boys gabes and I like my father I was very Territorial and I wanted to protect my cousins we waited for a while but nothing happened no more wrestling nothing the rest of us were getting bored so we all started to head back inside Charlie and I were the closest to the woods I was talking with her when we both Heard a

Voice Whispering not so quiet Charlie we both turned around white as ghosts then we heard whistling like a slow bird whistle we ran inside we didn't tell gabes or Felix what we'd heard later that night we broke off into our makeshift bedrooms us five girls began to watch a movie I can't remember exactly which movie it was but definitely one of the teenage girl romance films I don't don't mean to sound all edgy but I hate romance I even felt a tad bit gross in the stomach after watching the movie if you like it that's

fine you do you but I didn't want to watch it so instead I was sitting there looking out the open window I thought the neighbor was looking in the woods for a lost dog or something but I kept seeing flashes of light by the end of the movie most of the girls were asleep except Charlie and I we were talking about school and boys bullies Etc when I saw the shadow of a man in the background near the trampoline the two of us shot right up could it be your dad I asked no too short

plus you can hear my dad sleeping sh in the silent night we could hear the TV softly the boy's occasional laughter and her father's snoring then through the open window and that same whistling Charlie and I thought one of the boys was trying to scare us so we went to their room to tell them to stop it when we got there they were all watching some soccer game when they looked at us we just turned around and headed back without a word when we got back to our room we saw Charlie's creepy old neighbor at

the window making that horrible whistle I never believed freeze and fear was an actual thing until that very moment hey ladies he smiled holding something that looked like a box cutter trying to rip open the fly screen with it Charlie screamed so loud I didn't think it was even humanly possible everyone in the room shot up the boys came running into the room followed by Charlie's mother and father Charlie's father ran after him as her mother called the police Charlie's father came back about 10 minutes later finding duct tape rope some sort of whip and

a lighter in that very same Bush we'd heard the rustling just hours before God only knows what he was planning to do that night and with whom he was found and arrested and eventually convicted but I don't know how long he's going to stay in there hopefully for the rest of of his life I never want to see him again an Oklahoma farm from way past where I grew up on a cattle farm in rural Oklahoma about an hour's drive from Tulsa it was just me my parents and my older sister Jenny our nearest neighbors

were 5 miles down the road and the closest town was a good half hour drive it was the kind of place where you could walk for hours and not see another sa now don't get me wrong it was a good childhood in many ways plenty of space to run around and always something to do on the farm but there was also a loneliness to it and a whole lot of time for a kid's imagination to run wild at least that's what I used to tell myself about the things I saw and experienced it started when

when I was about 7 years old I remember because it was right after my birthday I'd gotten a new telescope and I was obsessed with stargazing one night I was out in the field behind our house looking up at the sky when I saw something strange it wasn't a star or a plane it was this light moving in impossible ways zipping across the sky stopping on a dime then shooting off in another Direction I called my dad over but by the time he got to me it was gone he patted me on the head saying

it was probably a satellite but even then I knew that couldn't be right satellites just didn't move like that that was just the beginning over the next few years weird things kept happening little things at first stuff that was easy to brush off or explain away like the time I found strange tracks in the mud near the Pond they were three towed almost like a birds but bigger and deeper dad said it had to be a heron or something but I'd seen herons before and these tracks were different then there were the noises sometimes at

night I'd wake up to this low humming sound it wasn't loud more like a vibration that you could feel in your chest I asked Jenny if she heard it too or felt it and she said she had but our parents never seemed to notice but the really weird stuff that always happened when I was alone I remember one afternoon when I was about 9: I was out checking the fence line something I often did to help my dad it was a hot day sun beating down no clouds in the sky I was walking along the

edge of our property where it met the woods when suddenly everything went quiet no birds no insects nothing the air felt heavy too like right before a storm that's when I saw it just for a second mind you in the shadows between the trees there was something something tall maybe 7 ft or so and thin its skin looked rough almost scaly and its eyes were huge and black like a beetles I blinked and it was gone the sounds of the farm then came rushing right back crickets going crazy and birds calling to one another I

could even hear the distant Lo of the cattle I ran all the way back to the house but this time I didn't report it to my dad or anyone else they hadn't believed me then and they weren't believing me now another time when I was 10 I was out in the barn late at night helping my dad with a calf that was being born dad had gone back to the house to get some supplies leaving me to keep an eye on things I was sitting on a hay Bell trying not to fall asleep when I

heard a scraping sound from the hay loft above me I looked up and there was a face peering down at me from between the slats it wasn't human the head was too big too angular the eyes were those same black ones I saw in the woods that day I could see a clawed hand gripping one of the boards I must have made some kind of noise because my dad came running back into the barn by the time he got there whatever I'd seen was gone Dad ran up to check the ha Loft but he didn't

find anything not even footprints in the dust these incidents continued over the years sometimes it was just a feeling a certainty that something was watching me from just out of sight other times it was more concrete weird lights in the sky that moved in ways planes and helicopters just couldn't or strange burn marks in the fields that appeared seemingly overnight one of the most Vivid memories I have is from when I was 11 I'd gone fishing at the pond on our property it was about half a mile from the house I must have dozed off

in the warm afternoon sun because next thing I knew it was Twilight as I was packing up my gear I saw ripples on the surface of the pond something was moving under the water and whatever it was it was big I thought it could be a snapping turtle we had some monsters sized ones in that pond but then it surfaced just for a moment it wasn't a turtle it wasn't anything I recognized it had the same scaly skin I'd seen before a long neck and those eyes those awful black shining eyes I dropped everything I

had and ran when I got back to the house my mom was frantic apparently I'd been gone for hours longer than I thought to me it felt like I'd only been at the pond for maybe 2 hours tops according to my family I'd been gone since morning almost 8 hours the weirdest part I had this small perfectly circular mark on the back of my neck that had not been there before it wasn't a cut or a bruise it was more like a slightly raised scar it faded away after a few weeks but sometimes I swear

I can still feel it there especially when I'm alone and in quiet places as I got older I started doing some research trying to make sense of all my experiences I read about more UFO sightings and alien encounters some of what I read lined up eerily well with my experiences did you know people have reported reptilian likee entities going back decades and the missing time incident at the pond is classic alien abduction stuff but here's the thing I'm not saying I was abducted by aliens I'm not even saying I believe in aliens not really all

I know is that for a few years of my childhood the world felt a lot stranger and a lot scarier than it was supposed to be the experiences tapered off as I got older by the time I was in high school they stopped completely I was relieved partly but another part well it sounds crazy but Another Part Of Me missed it this terrifying as it was it was also very fascinating it made the world or I guess the universe seem bigger more mysterious then again maybe it was an especially overactive imagination combined with being lonely

on a farm who knows maybe I had some kind of undiagnosed condition that caused hallucinations heck maybe there was a gas leak in the ground somewhere but I don't think that's right I'm 35 now with a family of my own we live in the suburbs of Tulsa about an hour from my parents Farm I have a normal job a normal life sometimes especially when I visit my parents though those old feelings come rushing back last summer I took my own kids out to the farm for a week one night my 8-year-old son came running into

the house eyes wide with excitement he said he'd seen lights Dancing in the Sky moving in weird ways my heart nearly stopped I went outside with them but of course by then there was nothing to see just stars and the blinking lights of distant Plains I pointed at the planes and told him it was probably just that but immediately I had this guilty feeling like I was the biggest hypocrite wasn't I doing exactly what my parents had done to me dismissing something just because it didn't fit into our neat orderly view of the world that

night after the kids were asleep I walked out to the Old Pond I stood there in the dark listening to the chor of frogs and crickets and for a moment I felt like that scared confused kid again I don't know what I was expecting to happen maybe I'd gone out there again for a sign of some sort some confirmation that my memories were very real but there was nothing there nothing waiting for me just a quiet night but when I turned around to head back I did feel a prickle at the back of my neck

like I was being watched I spun around in a heartbeat and I looked at the pond and I swear I saw a single Ripple there I practically ran back to the house after that I locked the doors checked on the kids tried to convince myself it was nothing but I'd be lying if I said I had no trouble sleeping that night I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe something out there had remembered me the redyed Shadow from IM xan syian I was raised on a farm that had avocado trees and game Buck on the farm

we had a beautiful small pond in many different Trails we had moved there when I was around 12 years old and being like any other 12-year-old I enjoyed being outside but I was scared of the dark so I never ventured outside the house after sunset by the age of 16 I'd become accustomed to the farmer's life and I loved it seeing this my father who also worked online gave me more autonomy on the farm and my chores increased this may have made any other teenager annoyed but again I loved the farm life this led to

my first encounter with this Shadow thing I was picking some avocados for supper and I couldn't get rid of this weird feeling that I was being watched so I looked behind me and I saw a black figure quickly duck behind a tree about 20 M away from me this freaked me out so I called out hey I saw you you're trespassing on private property and I am armed which I was not I only had a pocket knife I won't hesitate to shoot I started walking towards the tree gripping my knife in one hand and the

bag with avocados in the other I got to the tree and looked behind it only to find nothing I was puzzled but I just carried on to the house as I got closer I heard my mom call me asking me to hurry up I called back that I was nearly there this is an important thing to remember the rest of the night was normal we ate supper watched some TV and went to bed my room was on the bottom floor and my parents' room was upstairs I was sleeping until I was awakened by something tapping

on the window over and over and I heard someone mumbling something unrecognizable before it all suddenly stopped I went back to sleep just ignoring it the next evening I got into an argu with my mom over something I can't remember so to calm my nerves I went out for a walk I was walking through a trail which had many trees I then heard my mother's voice asking me where I was and why I was taking so long it sounded like her except a bit like a radio with static then again I heard her call me

asking me why I ran away from her I turned around and and I saw this Shadow thing with black lines around it like it was a drawing almost with deep red eyes and a Sinister smile it looked at me and in my mom's voice I heard hello I was frozen there I couldn't move I was so scared it started to approach me and I heard a noise like drying leaves being crushed which snapped me out of my frozen State I ran and I didn't stop running until I made it back home I could hear it

calling me as I ran though using that demonic and Sinister voice telling me to stop I got home and slammed the door shut my parents were startled and I told them about what happened they surprisingly believed me because of the fear in my eyes my dad's words I haven't had any run-ins with the creature or thing after this we did do a cleansing ritual of the house and property and things have been fine so far the old farmand from stepen H I used to own and run a dairy farm about an hour outside of Milwaukee

I ran it for nearly 20 years before the economy took a downturn and I had to sell it nowadays I live in the City working a regular 9 to5 until it's my time for retirement but I can't say I miss the farm much not after what happened the saw went down about 12 years back I had a small staff to help run the place mostly local kids and a couple of longtime employees but we needed someone to take care of the Landscaping keep the place looking nice you see we did tours sometimes School groups and

the like some sometimes it was free other times they would pay and it would be a little extra income good for community relations so I put out an ad in the local paper and that's how I met a man named McAfee he seemed nice at first quiet guy maybe in his late 30s said he had just recently moved to the area he had some experience with gardening and was willing to work for a reasonable wage so I hired him on McAfee's main job was to keep the areas around The Farmhouse and the tour rout tidy

but he took a special interest in the pond that we had a little ways from the main house said he wanted to create a real showpiece there something to wow the tourists I figured it couldn't hurt so I let him have at it I remember this one time I went to check on his progress at the pond he was planting new flowers and I made some comment about how nice they looked he turned to me with this weird smile and said Beauty's Only Skin Deep sir it's what's underneath that really matters now that might not

sound too weird on its own but it was the way he'd said it his eyes had this intense look like he was trying to tell me something without actually saying it gave me the creeps another time I overheard him talking to one of the high school kids who worked part-time at the farm McAfee was going on about how plants grew better when they have something to feed on said he had a special fertilizer he made himself the way he was talking about it almost gleefully made my skin crawl but the incident that really stuck with

me happened about 6 months after McAfee started working for us I was walking past the equipment shed late one evening when I heard a noise inside Now by then all the other workers had gone home hours ago so I was curious I peaked in and there was McAfee he had one of our big hunting knives and was just staring at it running his finger along the blade he didn't notice me at first and the look on his face I can't even describe it right it was like a mix of Fascination and hunger when he finally

looked up at me he jumped like he'd been caught doing something wrong I heard him Mumble something about checking the tools and hurried right past me I stood there for a good 5 minutes after he left just trying to shake off the chill that had come over me I started paying closer attention to McAfee after that nothing overt you understand I didn't want to accuse him of anything he hadn't actually done anything wrong but I did keep a close eye on him I noticed he would sometimes come to work with scratches on his arms or

dirt under his fingernails even first thing in the morning once I could have sworn I saw what looked like blood on his sleeve but when I looked again it was gone about a year after I hired McAfee well McAfee just disappeared didn't show up for work one day didn't call his phone had been disconnected too when I tried to read him I went to the address he'd given me when I hired him but the person living there said they'd never heard of a McAfee I was unsettled sure but also a bit relieved something about McAfee

had always put me on edge and now he was gone I figured that was the end of it but it wasn't not by long shot otherwise why would I be here telling this story it was almost exact l a year after McAfee vanished that things took a turn for the truly horrifying I was down at the pond the one McAfee had spent so much time on it had gotten quite a bit overgrown since he' left I hadn't hired anyone else to take care of it either there was this one patch near the water's edge that

was growing like crazy the plants there were huge way bigger than I would have expected and the colors were all wrong too Vivid almost garish I remembered what McAfee had said about his special fertilizer and I felt a chill run down my spine I don't know what possessed me to start digging curiosity a morbid hunch whatever it was I wish I had ignored it let someone else do the digging because what I found oh I still have nightmares about 2 ft under I hit something solid at first I thought it was a root maybe a

piece of old equipment that had been buried there but as I cleared away more dirt I realized I was looking at a human skull I'd like to say I kept my cool called the police right away but truth be told I panicked I scrambled back fell on my rear end and just sat there staring at the par partially uncovered skull for what felt like hours when I finally pulled myself together I called the sheriff they came out with a forensics team and started to dig some more they found two bodies buried there both women the

coroner estimated they'd been there for about 2 years the investigation that followed was a nightmare police were crawling all over my farm reporters sniffing around for a story they questioned me of course but I think they figured out pretty quick that I wasn't involved I told them about McAfee gave them all the information I had on the guy but it wasn't much really they never found him from what the detectives told me they think he was responsible for at least five murders across three states always the same Mo women in their 20s or 30s buried

in rural areas often near water they think he moved around a lot taking jobs on farms or in parks where he could work alone and have access to secluded areas the worst part one of the detectives let slip that they found traces of some kind of chemical in the soil around the bodies he wouldn't give me the details but from the way he looked when he mentioned it I got the impression it was something nasty all I could think about about was McAfee talking about his special fertilizer and how the plants grew so well with

something to feed on as I said the economy took a downturn and this situation didn't help I sold the farm and moved into the city I just couldn't stand to be out there anymore knowing what had happened knowing I had employed a killer had casual conversations with him all while he was God I can't even imagine what was going through his head I wonder do you think he killed those people out there on my property or did he just drag them there every time I blinked from roselina 1234 this experience spans from my mom's childhood

to my early teens I have personally been highly interested in the parent normal since I can remember that's because my first memories are of the Paranormal I spent most of my childhood on a 100-year-old Family Farm in a rural area of Southwest Georgia this Farm belonged to my maternal Grandma side of the family we lived in a three-bedroom trailer right by the road that crosses through the farm about 30 minutes down the road is my grandpa's side of the family's Farm where my mom grew up I'll start with my first memories I can't tell you

exactly when it started or how but it was always after my parents had tucked me in and left I was in a normal bed facing the door I always slept with the door open and the closet and hallway light on I wouldn't let them leave until they turned those lights on because I knew what was going to come I could never bring myself to ask them to shut the door and I don't think I'll ever know why exactly as soon as they left I would close my eyes open them then I would be paralyzed staring

into the hallway at the bathroom door as soon as I would blink I would see the first odd occupant of the hallways Shenanigans a shadow man or as most know him the top hat man he stood at about 6'4 had a big hat like Abe Lincoln but a tad shorter than his and he wore trench coat I never saw any actual features on him he was just a silhouette he would appear and walk down the hallway towards my brother's room and that would be all we'll be coming back to the sky later as he plays

a more important role remember him as Thomas for now I would blink and the next Apparition would appear this one still strikes Terror into my heart I tried to think of it as a guardian my young mind even thought it could be a Strang looking angel I couldn't think of any other positive reason for it to just stand in my doorway and stare at me for God knows how long and believe me I always tried to be positive about it it wasn't a man though it did stand like one but it had the face and

characteristics of a dingo or a dog heck maybe even a deer it had short tan hair on its body very long arms that hung past its hips its paws looked like hands but were still very paw-like with claws it also had very long legs it had Beady black eyes and a long snout that had a small sharp tooth on either side its tall pointy ears were only a couple of inches from hitting the top of my door frame it had a big shiny black nose and I can't remember if I imagined it but it seemed

like a bright white glowing Aura hung around the top of its head it would just stand there and stare at me for what felt like forever no expression or indication of any emotion just those Beady black almond shaped eyes all I could do was stare at it unable to move just waiting in Terror and then eventually I would blink and it would be gone I've pondered for years on what it could be when I was younger I chased the idea that it was a Native American Spirit we would find arroe heads every once in a

while on the farm so I knew there was a time that they were there then I thought maybe it could be a spirit animal standing guard now being a believer in many different things I've even pondered the idea that it could have been Anubis himself but as far as I know I've never had a connection to Egyptian Heritage or culture I've never seen a picture or description of anything similar to it to this day the closest description I've heard is a skinwalker but as far as I know they can't ENT your house unless you let

them in and it never did harm me I've drawn pictures of it and it still gives me chills when I describe it or Draw it I don't know what its real intentions were though I don't think I really want to know I mostly tried to look at it as a guardian after my mom told me it could be maybe just to alleviate my fear sometimes I think maybe it was just neutral maybe it was just there I can happily say that I have not and don't wish to ever see it again the last entity that

I remember is none other than a silhouette of some sort of G Gilla that would Scurry down the hall simple and insane I know I started to see it after I picked up a little elephant statue that was under one of the old long destroyed servant houses it only said made in Asia on the bottom there was no telling how old it was I believe I still have it somewhere back at home the gorilla didn't scare me as much at least until I had a dream one night or maybe a nightmare I'm not sure these

Silhouettes multiplied but now they had glowing red eyes they chased me everywhere around my house and it ended with Thomas now wielding a sword slashing them to bits and protecting me I was terrified until he appeared and that's all there was to it it's kind of silly looking back at it but it only confirmed My Views and my mom's on Thomas these are the only apparitions I remember it all stopped around the time I turned six I eventually told my mother about it and she encouraged me to tell my teacher I am not sure why

but not long after that it all stopped bedtime though after all that was still a nightmare I always had nightmares and I was terrified of any movement or anyone going outside at night the hall light always stayed on in case the visitors came back I wanted to be able to see them and know where they were my mom eventually told me her own story this is where we dive into Thomas again I was not the first to see him she told me that she saw him when she was a kid in a similar fashion one

day he came to her in a dream he told her his name was Thomas and he was a friend then he left through the window she didn't see him again through her teen and adult years not not until she had me when I was a baby she would be holding me and I would Giggle and babble at something behind her then the lights would start to flicker she would sometimes see Thomas out of the corner of her eye my paternal Grandma also witnessed me talking to things in the corner of her house this was a

completely different property with its own ghost stories my boyfriend who's never seen anything like it before witnessed a shadow man standing at the end of the bed when we stayed the night there this past summer my mom and I have always wondered where he could have come from we thought maybe it was from the table she had at her old house that we put away when I was around six we thought maybe he was from the old family graveyard just down the dirt road in the woods that Cemetery always did feel like a safe place

but I always felt something evil was watching me from the Woods I never stayed outside at night very long and I never opened the blinds at night for fear that whatever was out there would be staring back at me my mother and I agreed that Thomas seemed to be a protector I didn't really see much of Thomas after that I would catch a shadow in the corner of my eye every once in a while and I would hear my name being called by people I knew only to turn around to find no one there I

didn't have another experience with him until way later I messed up and put a mirror in my closet if you don't know it is said this can open a portal and let things in I started to see a puddle on my ceiling my brother saw a girl that looked like me walk past his room when I was downstairs and my stepdad saw Thomas too he described the same silhouette I remembered down to the shorter top hat which is something I don't usually bring up when I tell the story and the way he stood when he

walked too I haven't had an encounter with any of my childhood ghosts since my mom cleansed the apartment but now I'm just waiting to see if they'll appear again when I have my own daughter I'll pass my story down along with my mom's but maybe there'll be nothing at all maybe it's all linked back to those old properties anyone one from rural South Georgia will tell you how haunted many of the areas there are between these Civil War and Old Farm properties like mine there are plenty of old stories I lived about 30 minutes to

an hour down the road from Andersonville where that old prison camp for Union Soldiers was that place has several sightings of dead soldiers I'm far far away from there now stationed in California I do still own the property I grew up on neither of my parents wanted to stay after they divorced and my granddaddy passed away he ended up leaving it to me and my brother it's overgrown and unused now I still stop to visit it when I go home on leave but you won't catch me there at night on my own anytime soon many

have told me it was all just sleep paralysis but that doesn't explain my mom's experiences and the other interactions I've had I just can't settle for that explanation I continue to have a high interest in and respect for the Paranormal today because of all of it never use a Ouija board at night from Pleasant peasant four years ago on July 4th I was staying for a full week at my grandma's house it was me my grandma and my cousin my cousin and I were poking around in my deceased grandfather's old things and came across a

Ouija board we were both super excited to discover this we both had religious parents who were very worried about everything we had never seen one before we decided we would use it later that night after Grandma went to bed for a bit of background info my grandma lives on a huge property in Texas with nothing around it and we were totally alone my grandparents bought the land and built a house there years back the house is very long but not more than a couple of rooms wide of course me and my cousin my cousin being

my age decided to be in the room farthest from my Grandma's room from there she could have screamed and she wouldn't have heard us she said good night at about 9:30 we waited another hour to make sure she was fully asleep then we pulled out the board and began to ask questions just simple ones and it answered them however my cousin got pissed when it was moving and thought it was just me we started talking angrily at it and making fun of it this was probably the stupidest idea he could have had but I made

a worse one and just packed it up and put it back in the box I realize now that I should have apologized and said a proper goodbye so that any Pathways were properly closed time passed and nothing happened I had always been forced to sleep upstairs right next to the Attic So the rest of my family got the rooms however it never bothered me because my sister slept upstairs too I remember always hearing about bad and unexplained stuff happening there on one occasion my grandma came back from work to find her house destroyed it looked

like a break-in but nothing was taken and the alarm was still somehow armed Med when she walked in that was the major experience but there were many small ones such as doors shutting tapping on walls and everything else cliche but last summer I stayed by myself again and I slept upstairs the first night I had a violent nightmare of lying on my air mattress and hearing banging in the Attic then there was scratching on the attic door eventually the door opened and I saw a black figure about 4 and 1/2 ft tall walk out and

just stare at me in the morning when I went down to breakfast my grandma asked why I was scratching on the door last night my heart nearly stopped and my blood ran cold a few hours later I felt I had to know if something was wrong I hopped on a FaceTime with my friend took up a pool stick and wrenched open the attic door I walked around and found nothing suspicious at all but then at the very back was a little black mass with two tiny white dots for eyes I snapped a screenshot of my

FaceTime and booked it narrator's note you can see the screenshot on screen now if you're on YouTube if you're not you can find it at YouTube at the darkness prevails YouTube channel back to the story while talking with my friend he suggested I go back in to make sure it wasn't two holes in the roof I did and it wasn't the two little white dots were now gone and so was that black mass while I was talking with my grandma a couple weeks back I discovered that her land was a cotton farm and the owner

back in the day was very violent towards his slaves I also learned that the couple who lived there previously both died unexpectedly on the property and were buried there too I think this about sums up why no one should use a Ouija board I personally don't believe Ouija boards work but rather demons see humans attempting to mess with matters that are too big for them and want to teach them a lesson I hope this is an adequate warning to all those out there who think they can handle messing with the supernatural you might just end

up disappearing Without a Trace UFO sightings in Texas from Ticky Goblin I live in Central Texas and my family and I own a farm it's about 13 acres I'm going to give a little bit of background before getting into these two encounters I've always had a bit of an overactive imagination especially when I was around 10 years old I would always see things and have nightmares which eventually sparked an interest in everything supernatural aliens ghosts all of it however I believe that these experiences are the real deal in Winter of 2020 possibly 2019 we were

doing our evening chores in the dark because the sun had gone down at 6:00 p.m. and we usually feed around 7:00 our back pasture holds our horses and cows to whom I was giving extra hay for the cold night while pushing the well Barrow down to the gate I noticed something above the tree line in the back of our pasture we of a small patch of forest in the back where coyotes and other Wildlife like to live while I was looking at this UFO I noticed it looked like a saucer with lights going all around

it I squinted to try to get a better look at it but when I did it ducked back down behind the trees it was like it saw me at the time I didn't realize how far back the tree line was and I thought it was some fancy drone our Rich neighbors had bought thinking nothing more of it I did my chores and went off to bed in the morning I woke up and went to do my morning chores that's when I noticed how far back the trees really were my eyes widened that thing was a

lot bigger than I thought I mumbled to myself after doing my chores I went to tell my mom and little brother they were confused but believed my story My Brother even mentioned it during evening chores that night now I'm scared to go down there he laughed however we never saw that Flying Saucer again my second sighing was when I was with my mom it was about a year later we were going to check the baby chick brers and our rabbit hutch we were using our phone flashlights and while we refilled the food both our phone

lights went out right at the same time and we couldn't get them to turn back on confused we just let our eyes adjust to the dark and went on completing our task the rabbit hutch was down by the back pasture with the horses and cows it had been a shady Hutch for the goats but there were enough trees and another small Hutch they went under as well so we turned it into a little Hutch for the Rapids instead we have a great view of the night sky in the country so we looked up to see

the stars but the first thing I saw was a Red Orb floating across the sky oh a plane I said pointing over there by the water tower my mom asked pointing in a completely different direction I looked at her a bit confused then noticed there was another Red Orb where she was pointing oh two planes I thought raising my eyebrows that's when I looked in the other direction and saw another Red Orb that's weird three planes out here at the same time that's when I noticed they were in a great big triangle suddenly my mom's

phone light came back on it startled me but thinking nothing more of the three planes we checked the rabbits and turned off the light while heading back to the house my phone light came back on too I turned it off to save battery and looked up to see that the three orbs were now gone I gulped and we hurried back up to the house I told my best friend who was also really to this stuff and she replied in all caps aliens I laughed and replied possibly but I'm not sure to be fair I wasn't

lying at the time but then now when I found the eercast podcasts I realized other UFO sightings were almost exactly like mine did I actually see UFOs or was it drones or planes who knows I think I did my mother thinks we did my friends do too however if all these sightings are true what are they and what are they doing here are they just observing us this was about a year ago and it still perplexes me to this day either way this was both a creepy and Unforgettable experience I'm not sure I want to

have it again shapeshifting witch-like thing from Nova artino 69 I'm from Costa Rica a small country in Central America we have several local Legends and monsters of our own one of them being a sort of witch or devil's wife who steals the skins of animals to use them and gain their abilities the catch is like a skinwalker it might end up looking wrong and deformed when I was 14 we lived on a farm my my grandparents from the US actually liked it there as well so they built a vacation home under the same roof as

our house with the porch being the separation between the two since they hardly ever visited I convinced them to let me use the master bedroom of the other house as my room because I am the eldest I've always had trouble sleeping so it wasn't unusual for me to be up and about past midnight this one night I was in the other house mind you it was completely empty except for my room since it's a farm of course there were trees but not close enough where something could jump from the trees to the roof and yet

out of nowhere I could hear something land where my parents' room would be a couple of seconds passed and then this thing began to run all the way to where my room was the sound was so loud it felt like the roof was about to collapse I couldn't move and my window was open since it was a cold night thankfully at the least it had a screen because as soon as it reached my head it swung and latched onto that screen yelling and trying to get in I saw it it looked almost like a monkey

but the face was more feline the hands ending in claws I panicked and ran to shut and lock the windows still hearing that thing then locked myself in the bathroom where I stayed until morning when my parents woke up I asked if they had heard anything last night but they hadn't then I went to check the screen outside since I absolutely did not want to open my window lo and behold the screen was torn almost completely needless to say that same day I moved my things back to my old room which I shared with my

little sister and I got in trouble for the destroyed screen thanks for stopping by our little campsite here at outdoor Terrors to hear your story on the show send it to us at dark stories.org for more scary stories from me catch me on my other podcasts unexplained encounters and tales from the break room on Spotify Apple podcasts or your favorite podcast app or go to Eerie cast.com for those and even more terrifying podcast CS follow me on X or Twitter at dark prevails and if you don't mind leave a rating for outdoor Terrors on Spotify
