Have You Seen Him Too...
The first time I sawĀ āHimā I was 15. Iāve always believed in the paranormal. From the time I was very young I saw people no one else seemed to see. Described my long since deceased great grandmother after seeing her in my kitchen when Iād never laid eyes on her, even a picture. So things like that never scared me. ButĀ āHimā....āHeā made me feel sheer terror.Ā I laid in bed slowly drifting off, it was around 1am. Something made me open my eyes andĀ āHeā was there. Standing in my bedroom doorway. In the shape of a man, but unnaturally tall. āHeā wore an old, tattered suit that seemed to be to short in the arms.Ā āHisā wrists stuck out in bare spaces between the cuffs of the suit jacket and āHisā hands.Ā āHisā face was hollowed, cheeks sunk in as if he barely had the skin over his bones. That was all the features I could make out.Ā āHeā just stared at me, almost through me. Like āHeā could actually see what was inside my soul.Ā āHeā made no sound, but slowly raised one arm and pointed at me, then shookĀ āHisā head as if to sayĀ āno.ā I didnāt understand, I couldnāt make a sound. I raised my head up trying to focus my eyes in the dark, trying to convince myself what I was seeing wasnāt there. I blinked a few times....āHeā remained where he was. I was afraid to scream, afraid to get up, afraid to even reach over and turn on the light. I shut my eyes once more, opened them... andĀ āHeā was just gone.Ā I couldnāt forget it. It haunted me for weeks after that. I couldnāt stop feeling like this was something Iād never encountered before. There was a force behindĀ āHimā that I knew meant bad things. A couple of years later,Ā āHeā returned again. I was 17 and had almost forgot the way that night shook me to my core. Until again,Ā āHeā appeared. This time there was no communication what so ever. No pointing, no shaking of the head, just that stare. That look that I could literally feel. Same suit, same hollowed out face. I knew then...I would never be rid of this thing. From there on out I would dream of āHimā. It would happen in streaks. A week at a time sometimes of the same dream over and over. I was being chased, I KNEW it wasĀ āHimā I could feel it. I never got to seeĀ āHimā in the dream but I knew it wasĀ āHimā that was there. Relentless. Nothing could stop him. No matter where I ran or how far I got within seconds I could feel thatĀ āHeā was close behind. There was no killingĀ āHim,ā no trappingĀ āHim.ā There was no end for this THING.Ā I tried to put it out of my head, the dreams would stop, I would start to breathe easy then, again, out of the blue,Ā āHeā would return to look through me again. I continued to deal with this thing, this man...demon...spirit....hell I donāt know even today what the hellĀ āHeā is but I got curious. The world of the internet was born and I started doing some searching. Let me remind you this was before the days of the legend ofĀ āSlendermanā or anything related to his tale. This started happening to me before the internet even existed. lol Telling my age there. But once we gained access to the world wide web and all the information it held I slowly began to find...āHeā had paid a visit to others. Others that were still haunted byĀ āHim.ā Others that refused to even mention their experiences for fear they would summonĀ āHimā back to their lives somehow.Ā I didāt even want to write this. Itās been so long since Iāve encounteredĀ āHim.ā But itās like there is something in me that knows,Ā āHeāsā never really too far.Ā āHeāsā always keeping an eye on me....waiting for me to get comfortable in the false knowledge that Iāll never seeĀ āHimā again...waiting to prove me wrong another time.Ā āHeā does seem to have timing around events in life that marked me, changed the course of where I thought I was going, times that created loss and pain. Times that everyone has but it seemsĀ āHeā may have been some kind of preamble to the days to come.Ā So now I ask you....Have you seenĀ āHim?ā HasĀ āHeā come to you again and again? Believe me I know you donāt want to talk about it but after all these years I have to know....WHO or WHAT the hell is this and why me? Why us? Why doesĀ āHeā pick whoĀ āHeā picks? What doesĀ āHeā want with us but to instill fear? IsĀ āHeā a sign that our souls are touched by evil or that we are destined to fight terror until our number is up? At 41 I need some answers. I need to put this to rest. I need to know if anyone has found a way to shake this thing and what it changed in their life if they did. To say Iāve had some shit luck is a HUGE understatement. Everyone in my life that I love has been touched by things that I canāt help but feel are connected to me and this...this thing. Iām afraid now even writing thisĀ āHeā will come to me again as a warning...stop looking for answers...stop trying to endĀ āHisā streak of terror...but I donāt care. You can only be afraid of something for so long before you get pissed and say ENOUGH is enough....well Iām pissed and enough is enough...Have you seenĀ āHim???ā
