In the middle of the night again, I heard Hanna screaming, "Get out of my room! Mommy, make him leave!" I hopped out of bed, hurried to her room and swung the door open. The door hit her sliding closet door and it came off the tracks and fell over, bouncing off the corner of her bed. I went in and took her out and said, "Hanna, nobody is in here."
She started to cry and I took her to my room. She was lying on my bed and I was sitting beside her on the edge of the bed. The lights started to dim slowly. I started to feel a chill on my neck and down my back and I smelled a slight stench. Hanna started to curl up her toes and draw her legs toward herself. I asked what was wrong. "It's there," she said.
"What's there?" I asked.
"That thing!"
"What thing?"
"Please make it go away," she begged.
I turned around and nothing was there, except my husband David, who was standing in the doorway on the other side of the room. I said, "Hanna, it's just David."
"NO!" she yelled. "IT'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"
I asked her to describe what it looked like. She said that its feet weren't touching the floor. It was in the air and was tall, very tall. He was wearing a black, long trench coat and a top hat, she said, and she could see through his face as if he didn't have a face, just a head, but could see through him, too.
I was getting a bit angry. "Okay," I told her. "Let's get rid of this thing forever. Let's send it back to wherever it came from!"
I made her sit next to me and I said, "Hanna, if you've never believed in the power of the Holy Ghost before, you have to do it now!" She said she did believe in Jesus. "You have to believe that he's here with us now and he's asking us to ask for his help," I said. "Let's pray."
We held each other's hands in fists and said the Lord's Prayer very loudly. We asked that our Lord send his angels of protection and rid us of this evil and ban it from entering our lives. "By the power of God's love and through our prayer, send this away from us and leave us forever!"
Suddenly, everything felt normal. The lights were extremely bright, the chill and stench went away... and it was gone.
We never experienced the entity again but have, since then, had paranormal experiences. We've moved back from Florida to Pennsylvania and have had encounters in this house:
- chairs moving in another room while we were all watching TV in the next room over
- lights going on by themselves
- music and people talking in the middle of the night, but nobody there
- shadows hovering above us while vacuuming or doing other things
- people standing over us while we're sleeping.
I once saw a man walking from the bottom of the basement steps into the basement. I thought it was my dad, but when I went down, nobody was there. I got creeped out and ran back upstairs. When I went to go out the front door, I was pushed out and the door slammed shut. I turned around quickly and I saw the face of a man that reminded me of Grizzly Adams, but with a shorter beard. His face disappeared immediately.
People think I'm nuts when I talk about this stuff, but I know what we have experienced, and for some reason I don't think it's the end of it. The house that we're living in is going to be sold soon and so we have to move. But wherever we move to, I know it's going to continue to happen.
