Spinning Darkness
by Joseph Morris
This happened at the Oaks Apartments. I moved out on my own. These were some rundown apartments. There were eerie feelings about the place when I first moved in, but I thought it was tension from just getting out on my own. So I got a roommate. After about two weeks in living here, I would feel like something very evil would pass through my body. Tingles would go through me every time. Then one night when it became dark outside, I lay down in my bed and felt the most horrible feeling. I looked down at the foot of my bed, and there was a dark-as-pitch figure, spinning wildly at the foot of my bed. It looked like it was very angry. This one had no shape to it. It didn't disappear, like I've been told now that they do, for at the time I had never heard of these things. I turned on the light and couldn't see it anymore. So I slept with the light on.
About a week later, I felt like their presence was getting stronger. The more fear I felt when I was alone with them, the more they would manifest. One night I had a roommate there and another one made his appearance. This one was a shape of a person, but very black, like a real person was in the room. It had a cape. It came close to my bed. It just gave me extreme fear to see. I covered up my head (at age 18). Then I looked again. It was gone.
Altogether, I was visited countless times, and even my friends would see them slip around at night time when they would visit. It almost became common.
One night a friend of mine stayed the night, and at around 3 a.m. I woke up to her screaming at the top of her lungs. I ran to the room she was in and she had one to rush up on to her as well. These were angry and I can barely talk about it without cringing at how they made their appearances, like I was invading their place. I called an LDS priest to do a blessing. They turned me away.
Finally, I moved into a better apartment, but I will never forget them. There were too many visitations to account for there. But the most vivid one was about 7 feet tall and had the shape of a person. It was fearless. Its cape looked like it was blowing around me. It leaned over me and looked right at my face. It had no discernable features. No eyes or anything - just black... so black that It was night time and it was darker than that. And its presence was marked by pure fear of whoever saw it. Now I'm on a mission to know what they are, but I do NOT want to encounter them again.
