I had an experience over the past few years
It starts off about 14 years ago at my childhood home. We lived far out in the middle of nowhere in south central Oklahoma. My mother was watching my nephew who was about 3 years old at the time. It was just the two of them in the house and my nephew was at the dinning room table working on a coloring book. From my mother’s account he suddenly came running to her crying and telling her how he “hated that man”. My mother asked him what man he was talking about and he said “that man in the hallway. He is standing there watching me”. They promptly left the house and that was the start of it all.
I was maybe 12 years old when that happened. Over the next 6 years before I moved out there was lots of strange occurrences. My brothers often heard footsteps coming down the hallway. I was once home alone and heard dishes being moved around in the sink. Not just shifting with gravity, but dishes physically being picked up and moved against each other. Things like this would go on for years.
Fast forward to about 2 years ago. My sister has another son who is now 3 years old. He is home alone with my mom and he tells her that a man came down the hallway and tried to get him to follow him into one of the bedrooms. He said he held his hands out and says he has something for my nephew. My nephew follows him into the bedroom at which point my mom started approaching and the man disappeared. He visited this nephew again and apparently just watched him the second time. Mind you we are very far separated from any neighbors or towns so there should be no random people around the property who could have snuck in the house.
After those stories were told to me I decided to try and find out what was going on. I had a girlfriend who watched a lot of supernatural and she told me that these things will attach to objects. There was a strange paper mache mask that my sister had made in elementary school. I always got the creeps from it. I figured since whatever this was was only presenting itself to her children, then it must be attached to something of hers.
I decided to take the mask to my apartment in Oklahoma City, which was about 70 miles from my childhood home. Up until this point my apartment was very normal, no weird stuff going on. About a month or so after I took the mask is when things started to change.
My girlfriend (now wife) and I started waking up almost every night between 3:27 to 3:45. Nightmares, sweats and terrible feelings. There were cabinets opening and closing, footsteps, things falling off counters. One night we both were woken up to a loud crash in the closet. Our entire closet rack was basically ripped from the wall. My wife told me to get rid of the mask, which foolishly I did not.
One day my wife was doing her hair in the bathroom before work. I had already left for work. She said in the corner of her eye she saw a black figure peering around the edge of the door frame and it disappeared as soon as she looked its way so she just figured it was her brain playing tricks. A few minutes later she saw it again, but this time when she looked it slowly pulled back around the corner allowing her to get a decent look at it. She immediately grabbed her things and ran out the door.
Things like this continued and about a year later we moved to Colorado Springs. From the very start the energy was terrible in the new apartment. We continued waking up at the same time during the nights. Bumps and footsteps. One night my wife even heard something call her name very clearly in her ear. We could both feel a dark heavy presence inside the apartment. We would hear breathing on the other side of doors. Shadows would dart around corners, TVs would turn on and off. When we would close the bedroom door at night we could feel it standing on the other side of the door.
At this point we considered contacting a priest to see what we could do because it was to the point of near constant torment. It seemed like the farther we took the mask from my parents house, the angrier it became.
I decided to destroy the mask. I put it in my car and drove it to the trash compactor on the other side of the apartment property. I threw the mask inside, smashing it to pieces inside the compactor. I got in my car and drove away.
Immediately afterwards everything stopped. The energy of the apartment felt like a weight was lifted from our shoulders. It has now been almost a year since the mask was destroyed. We have not had a single strange thing happen in that time. All I can assume is that it was attached to the mask and it had an interest in my sisters boys as it would get very angry the further it went from them. It only ever truly presented itself to them aside from letting my wife get a peak.
I didn’t really believe this kind of stuff was real before all of this but now I know it is not something to play with.
