Chapter 1: The Haunting Experience

When I was just 14 years old, I experienced bizarre events that still leave me bewildered. On weekends, I would visit my mother's house, which had been converted into several small apartments following my parents' separation. This residence was at least a century and a half old, contributing to its unsettling atmosphere. My mother often recounted the odd noises and fleeting glimpses of shadowy figures she experienced, insisting that she felt a persistent gaze upon her.

One evening, I decided to bring my PS4 along, knowing my mother would retire early while I planned to stay up a bit longer. I vividly remember playing WWF No Mercy, engrossed in the story mode while sitting cross-legged on the floor. After completing a level, I placed the controller behind me, next to a nearby chair. What happened next would haunt me forever.

As I turned my head, I spotted the remote lying on the floor adjacent to what appeared to be a horse's leg. Blood and insects oozed from the narrow crevice between its hooves. Puzzled, I slowly raised my gaze to meet a dark, shadowy figure staring back at me. It leaned forward, grinning wickedly.

This being had pitch-black eyes, a crimson face, and a single wing, with blood dripping from its jagged teeth. Overcome with terror, I immediately felt an overwhelming panic and lost consciousness. It was then I learned about the fight-or-flight response. A few moments later, I regained awareness on the floor, struggling to move. The sinister entity in the chair let out a laugh that drained me of all my strength. I felt utterly powerless and nearly collapsed as I crawled to my mother's room to wake her.

After I managed to rouse her, she listened intently to my account and surprisingly confirmed that she had witnessed the same entity earlier that week but refrained from alarming me. To this day, I remain perplexed yet convinced that the encounter was real. I firmly believe in the existence of both demons and angels, and let me assure you, having a devil smile at you is a terrifying experience.

You may find it hard to believe, but when two individuals observe the same phenomenon independently, it suggests either we are both delusional or something sinister lurks within that old house. Thankfully, my mother has since relocated, and we have not encountered that being again.

After that night, the implications of what I witnessed lingered in my mind.
