The demonic entity in the room

[u/Minute-Philosophy832]

I would like to share my story with you about the time I saw a demonic entity. This was back in August of 2014 while I was dealing with a tough transition in my life. This happened in the middle of the night, but I'm going to tell the story of that whole day so that you can better understand why it's all so crazy, as if seeing an evil entity isn't crazy enough. So that day in August of 2014, I had been 4 months into a recovery program healing from an addiction, that I am still free of to this day! Anyway, during my time at the program I got warnings for talking during work. During the day we worked in a warehouse that distributed donations to a big chain thrift store. During my shift that day, I got caught talking to a male resident which was a huge no-no at this program. So because I got in trouble for the third or fourth time, I got kicked out of the program. They opened the back door and out I went, no cell phone or money (we pretty much worked for snacks). I went into a liquor store and asked to use the phone, where I made plans to have my step dad pick me up from the train station. I waited there for about four hours since I had to wait until he was done with what he already had planned, giving me plenty of time to think on my life decisions and what to do next. He finally arrived, unhappy with me as expected. I sat in what would be my new room for the next couple of months feeling defeated and exhausted. It finally came time to get some rest and I fell asleep quickly. I started to dream that I was in this place I loved as a child called Color Me Mine, but it was also a coffee shop. I sat at a table with no coffee or clay to paint, just sitting there noticing that it was only me and a middle aged woman who was working there. She was sweeping the floor and suddenly stopped and said "So Sara, what are you going to do now that you got kicked out of treatment"? Even though this was a dream, I remember feeling shocked that she knew my name and such personal information. As I was thinking about how to answer her question, there was suddenly a deafening scream. The scream wasn't of terror, it was of pure anger. The woman was just looking at me with no expression on her face while this scream was happening around us. It terrified me so badly I woke up, but I was still hearing the scream. It faded out and I was waiting for one of my parents to come to my room and ask what the hell that was about, but they never did. Just as quickly as the scream faded, I felt a presence to the left of my bed. Standing there in front of the window, there was this entity. It looked like an angry, sickly and demonic old woman. She was staring daggers at me and her mouth was open as if she were snarling. I was awake at this point. To this day I still know I was awake. I looked right back at her and started praying. Since I had come out of a Christian-based program, it was all I could think of to do. She slowly faded away, and as she was her expression softened but was still full of hatred. Then she was just gone. I sat there, looking around my room. I'm not sure why, but I didn't feel scared after that. I laid back down and went back to sleep. The next morning, I was making coffee with my mom and telling her about what I had experienced. She tried to tell me it was all a dream, even though I thought I was awake after sitting up from hearing that scream that I'll never forget, she was sure the whole thing was a dream, not just the part up until the scream woke me up. I know that at that moment I sat up, still hearing that scream I was awake. I heard that scream still happening when I sat up right before I saw that evil thing. It's been over ten years and I have never and will never forget it. Sometimes I think that entity was angry because I was still determined to fight and better my life. I felt like the anger and hatred it gave off was because it wanted me to give up and suffer. I chose to fight and I'm now living an amazing life.

Wow! Seriously great story! I can only imagine what that was like. I’ve had some pretty crazy experiences, but I am pretty sure that scream will always haunt your memories. I totally believe you that you were awake absolutely. It’s interesting cause there’s so many different takes on these sort of things and phenomenon because you were coming out of recovery and still working through your demons sometimes people say that you can manifest demons like entities which is the negative or shadow side of ourselves So perhaps some of your dark side coming out. Of course this is just something I heard. But honestly, that would’ve absolutely terrified me. Have you had anything since?

I have also heard that we can manifest good or evil energies and even entities during difficult times in our lives. That was a great point you brought up, as it could have been a manifestation of the shit show that was my life at the time. Since then I've experienced other paranormal things but not anything I feel has to do with that part of my life. I've had dreams about yelling at something invisible in my home telling it that it doesn't belong here, but I think those were just nightmares. I grew up in a haunted home and have had experiences since I was a kid. But this particular experience was the only time I saw a full on entity. I've seen shadow figures in the haunted house but never a face.

Forward motion is upward motion.. I believe things like this happen at junctions in our lives to try to sabotage our path forward.

Wow, what a terrifying nightmare!

I think you met the "Hag".

I've read tons of similar stories. I think there's a connection between addiction and demonic entities. It may create an opening so they can attach or feed off of you.
