My own personal demon...

[GavinStrife]

Sorry! I copied my own post from the other board up there, I just wasn't sure if both boards would get the same attention, because I'd really like to get some input on this, and I saw the Reports and Experiences thing... well anyway, here goes... If this is a problem, one or the other can be deleted I guess...

Well, I'm relatively new to posting on the forums, but I've been here for quite some time, usually as a guest. But, heres my story... it still kinda worries me when I think about it, but its (mostly) in the past now. Alright, here goes... When I was about, oh, 15 or so (I'm 21 now), I would sit at the computer late into the night. The way the computer was set up, there was a doorway directly to the left of the monitor that looked down through the living room and into the foyer. Now, I had one cat- a very dedicated, loving cat that stayed by my side the vast majority of the time. While I would play around on the computer, I'd sometimes see a little black figure, usually just a blur, run from the hallway where my mom's room was, across the foyer, and into the dining room. I'd look up and stare, trying to figure out what in the world it was. The part that would freak me out the most is that my cat, who would usually sit behind me on a chair, would be looking RIGHT where I had seen the blur with her eyes wide, her ears pricked, and her tail twitching. She would usually hop down and run over to see what it was, and whenever I looked, there wouldn't be anything there. I saw this thing DOZENS of times, and not always in the same place, and the cat always had the same reaction. The figure would have only come up to your knee, so it wasn't anything very menacing at first. Then, I started having nightmares. I would usually be walking into my parents room (sometimes my brother's), and I'd see a jet black bipedal creature with big, shiny red eyes and big claws and teeth tearing into my mom or brother, or even my cat (think a tiny black, evil Gollum)... in my dream, they'd already be dead when I got there... but this thing would just be ripping them to shreds. It would always turn and look at me for a second, and I'd freeze. Then, it would charge me and leap at my head, and I'd wake up... This happened for years... but when I was 17 or so, when the creature jumped off the bed and charged me, I ran to my room. I collect swords and various other weapons, so I snatched one off the wall. The critter caught up to me, and I sliced him in half. I woke up after that point, and from that point forward, I haven't seen the blur or had another nightmare. Curiously, though, when we were getting ready to move out of that house when I was about 18, my cat disappeared the day I was going to move her to the other house... I wonder if it finally got her?

Now, this critter is gone, but I still find myself looking around, as if something is watching me... Anyone ever experienced someting like this? What do you think- demon, ghost... or am I just crazy? I know what I saw... it wasn't a one-time occurance, it happened many times. Lemme know what you think.

I don't know anything about things like that - but it sounds really scary especially the way you described it.

I would still be having nightmares if it was me!!

I like the sword part. good for you. the cat probably just didn't want to move

Thats just freak dude.

Yes a demon.......they like to travel in cats (or other animals).....ever see the movie 'Fallen'....well someone did their homework with that movie. That is EXACTLY how a demon works and exists......They enjoy tormenting and love the smell of fear. When you finally faced this demon....it vanished.....you conquered it. It was time for it to move on. Consider yourself lucky to have rid yourself from it.
