First time i ever saw him was in 2005 i was walking to work at around 11pm it was a long street i had to walk as soon as i crossed the road to get to the sidewalk i needed to i walked underneath a street light an felt an eerie presence behind me an when i turned there he was opaque with a trench coat an fedora like hat didnt move an didnt disappear when i stared right at him i was terrified i ran all the rest of the way to work trying to stay away from dark spots when i reached the back entrance to the parking lot i looked behind me to see if he was there an there was nothing but as soon as i turned around there he was standing between the end of darkness an the start of the street light he was still opaque i couldn’t see through him at all, i remember looking up at the moon an it was literally jus a sliver an crimson red i’ve never seen the moon that way before an i knew i had to get to work so i started walking towards him an walked right through him an got the strangest feeling of being cold the hairs stood on my arms an neck an got goosebumps. later that night i was loading up a trailer an took the conveyor into my trailer an as soon as i turned it on i saw a creature pulling itself out of the conveyor an dragging itself towards me it was covered in gore i could make out its two eyes an partial skeletal hand but not much more an i could faintly hear my supervisor yelling at me asking if i was ok an i couldnt snap out of watching this creature inch towards me. He literally had to walk up to me an shake me cause i was transfixed on this thing coming towards me…. Second time i encountered him was about 2010 i was outside the sun was setting i was smoking alone there was still plenty of light when i felt the same sensation come over my body i heard constant whispering it was one voice multiplied several times over all talking at once i tried making out what it was saying but couldnt understand an when i said i dont understand what you want it got irritated i felt a horrid piercing ringing in my ears like it was shrieking an got chills an goosebumps….went inside an didnt come back out at all that night. i moved away an this was 2011 an he’s followed me here me an my girlfriend had just come back from the grocery store she had gone inside an i picked up the last few things that were left in the car when i got to the front door i felt like i was being watched so i turned to the only light on our little road an there he was standing watching an when i did a double take he was gone. 2012 this was in a dream i was in my sisters car we were driving somewhere an she was talking to my mom which then told my sister she had to go cause my grandmother was on the other line calling (what really made me realize this was a dream was the fact that my grandmothers been dead atleast 4 years now) an as soon as i realized i was dreaming i saw him standing infront of my sisters car an i felt hands pull me through the back of the car an before i woke up i swear i heard him say he found me again….i woke up with such a jolt that i woke my gf up an things honestly havnt been the same infact getting worse i see more shadows then i ever have an more of them try speaking to me…. but thats my story….
