Demon Encounter
by Jeremy P.

My family recently moved to a house in a new town. During my first night in the outside room, I heard a rhythmic tapping from the center of the floor. This seemed impossible since there was thick carpet over the whole floor. This continued for a few months, gradually getting louder, and sometimes being heard during the daytime. This had bothered me right from the start, but I assumed I was being paranoid and it was just an insect under the floor slab or something like that. 

One night when my parents had gone out and the tapping was especially loud. It suddenly stopped and was replaced by a masculine voice. It told me that I was stupid and worth nothing, among other things. This was rather more bothering than just tapping, as anyone can imagine. I ran to the house trembling and feeling sick. My sister, who was in the kitchen at the time, told me that my face was pale green. I told her what had happened and she was totally freaked out. She wouldn't come near my room, but when my parents came home they said they could feel a presence in there. My father is a clergyman and he was a bit upset that I hadn't got him to do something earlier, but it was still okay. During the routine blessing that we give to a home when we move houses, we had forgotten to bless my room, probably because it isn't part of the house. Since then I've learned how to deal with demons myself and I haven't been troubled by them.
