This experience happened a while ago. I'm thinking
fall of 2001 but I’m not really sure.
I live in a house on top of a Mountain deep in the woods
in Southwest Virginia in the southern Appalachians and I
also work part time in a drug Rehab Center. I mostly work
evening and night shift. If you can imagine, working in a
place like that really gets to you after a while. So I have
sort of a ritual to unwind after a day at work. Ill go into
my back yard and listen to my portable CD player, walk
around and more or less chain smoke until I can unwind.
One night after a 3:00-11:00pm shift I started my unwinding
ritual. The leaves on the trees were turning and the ground
was covered in frost with a quarter moon shining down.
Overall there was nothing different about that night. It
was the same ole "stuff" different day kinda thing. I had
been walking around for about an hour or so listening to my
CD's when a rush of panic flooded over me. I say flood
because I compare it to when you just first jump into a
swimming pool on a hot July day. When you’re hot and sweaty
and when you hit the cool water your body kinda goes into a
temporary shock. My body on this night went into total fear
shock!
The only movement I could make was to use my thumb to pause
my CD player. I stood there silently for at least 3 or 4
minutes darting my eyes around looking for anything that
would show the root of my fear. I could not find anything.
Nothing was outta place, nada. I actually started thinking
I was having a medical problem. I had thought that the
smokes had finally started doing me in, lol.
I had begun to break free of the shock and was making my
way to my house when I looked up and seen my dogs. My dogs
were two Beagles, and if any of you have Beagles you know
how they love to bark. They will bark at anything that
crosses into eyesight. The weird thing was though, they
weren’t barking. They were afraid. They had their head and
should to the ground and were slinking there way to the
front of my house as if they had been scolded.
This scared me badly. I knew then it wasn’t just me,
therefore it wasn’t medical. There was something out that I
could sense but the dogs could smell. I went back into my
fear shock.
I stood watching, waiting, and listening. Minutes went by
and still nothing. I really felt stupid, kinda like it was
when I was real young and thought the sounds of the house
settling was something walking on the roof. So I started
making my way towards my house. As I was making my way
towards the house the absolute most blackest, cruelest, and
satanic scream came from my woods about a hundred or so
yards away. The sound is indescribable. It was neither high
pitched nor low toned but both at the same time. It sounded
neither human nor animal either. It was an indescribable
sound coming from a faceless entity. Imagine cracking open
the roof of hell its self and seeing one of the soul’s
burning and hearing the agony of the blistering heat of the
flames. That gives you a general idea.
My fear at the point also indescribable. I have been in car
wrecks and near car wrecks. I have been shot at and fell
from high places. I was also afraid of those things, but
this was a whole other kind of fear. It felt like my skin
was ice and my blood was boiling. I could have given you an
injection with one of the thin hairs on my arm. The scream
stopped and after about 5 seconds I broke off running
towards my house. As I made my way to my front door, it
screamed one last time. Almost to say, “ I see you! “
I went into the house laid on the living room floor in a
near fetus like position. I laid perfectly still and stayed
quite. My Dad was on the couch asleep just about 4 feet
away. I didn’t wake him though. The reason I didn’t wake
him wasn’t because I was afraid he wouldn’t believe me (
Even though I knew he wouldn’t) but because I was afraid
the screaming thing would hear me or see me move. After
that night I didn’t go outside for a while. After a few
days I got over the scream and started my nightly ritual
again.
Just for people’s information. I know this did not scare
the hell outta any of you. I also know this is not going to
be the “Story Of The Month” winner. Just in case you have
ever wondered if there was an actual true story on this web-
site I assure you there is now. I’m also sure others are
true also. This one though is what happened to me first
hand. I’m also VERY sorry with how long it was and how many
times I said that I was froze. I felt like the only way to
tell a true story is to tell it exactly the way it was.
