No drugs, New House, No Prision, Nice upscale neighborhood, but to tell you the truth I haven't been to church in 10 years. and To tell you the truth when i saw the red eyes, i thought Satan himself was in the room, I mean i dont want to jump to anything but the laugh I heard was high and with no empathy or feeling.
Well, there are lucid, rational people in the world who swear they've come face to face with Satan.
I've asked and read around about "shadow people," the description of which sounds something like what you saw. The story going around is that these are the rats of the spirit world, scavengers that feed on negative emotions. Not intelligent, really, but I've read stories where they're capable of physically attacking. They needn't be attached to a particular house and are often described as just sort of passing through. Foraging, I guess.
That's a hypothesis about what they are. I don't know. I am close to at least one person who has seen one, and so I don't seriously doubt they are real.
A step up from these things, says the current folklore, are demons. They are said to feed in somewhat the same way but are said to be self-aware, with names and memories and identities. From the Christian viewpoint, as I understand it, they're fallen angels who've sided with Satan. As such, they'd like to pull down all of Creation. People suffering is their idea of fun.
The stomach-turning fear that went through you is commonly reported. It's consistent with the idea that these things somehow get a charge out of scaring you.
Again, this is the folklore I've heard, and I don't have a shred of solid evidence for it. Does any of it fit your experience? Can you expand on what happened to you, or was that all there was to say about it?
BTW, I don't think these things, if they're real, wander into your life because you haven't been to church lately. From what I hear, sometimes they're just around.
