The Entity: A Truly Scary Story.. for Christian and Bryson |
This write up won't be of much interest to some. It's not motorcycle related. I wrote this primarily for my grandsons, but it may be of interest to those who are into the supernatural, ghost stories, tales of the unknown.. |
During my last visit with my two teenage grandsons, the subject of scary movies and the supernatural came up. My grandson, Bryson asked me.. "Do you believe in ghosts?" An innocuous question. My standard answer when this or similar questions come up is always... "There are many things in this life that I don't understand.. Things beyond my comprehension." While I have never personally seen a ghost, I have come across people during my travels who swear they have and after seeing the looks on their faces as they described their harrowing tales years after the fact.. I do believe THEY believe. It's always the look in their eyes that's the giveaway as to if it's just a story... or the real deal. If they believe.. they want YOU to believe them. If it's just a related story.. they just want a response. My first supernatural experience happened when I was about 7 or 8 years old.. It was in a church full of people on a Sunday morning and lasted at least 3-4 minutes. It wasn't scary and it wasn't religious, but it sure was memorable. That's a tale for another time. My second experience of which I'm writing today was different. It was truly scary. An experience that is as clear and as frightening 40 years later as the day it happened.. Through the years I have only shared the following account to a handful of my closest friends. It is my personal opinion that none of them believed me.. and that's fine. If the situation were reversed.. I probably wouldn't believe them either. |
The following account is 100% true. No embellishments. I still have no explanations. I saw "something".. It touched me. It scared me more than anything I have ever seen. When trying to make sense of the event, all my mind comes up with is that it was death incarnate coming for me. If not for ..I don't know... divine intervention... I honestly believe I would not be here writing this story.. living my life. A few more seconds and .... ?? I have always figured that on the day of my eventual demise.. he may return.. just as I remember him all those years ago.. ageless... timeless.. faceless...To finish his business. |
Over a year later, in the middle of the night, a sobering thought brought me right out of my sleep.. I sat up in bed and remembered.... That wall clock .. the one that stopped just after the music.. It wasn't electric... it was battery powered.. As I said.. some things are beyond my comprehension... Postscript: In 2009 a movie called Knowing came out with Nicolas Cage. Towards the end there is a scene where the aliens take their real form before ascending to their spacecraft with his son. If you ever get to see the movie.. these beings are the closest thing I've ever seen to the entity that came to me... Rod Serling once wrote... "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone." |
