No one has ever heard this story. I decided not to say anything because I know what happens when you tell someone you saw a demon.
7 years ago, when I was only 12 years aged, something happened that I will never forget. My life changed on that chilly, windy night. A few friends and I were playing hide and seek like most little boys. The neighbors didn't care that we were playing in their yard, and there was a church next door. We had plenty of space to play hide and seek, with the addition of a flashlight. It just so happened that it was my turn to be the seeker. I gave everyone about 4 minutes to hide, we counted in the garage, where the door was tightly closed. My 4 minutes were running out, so I started looking for my friends, but that was not what I found at all.
I started walking towards the church looking for them but then turned around. I was hoping to catch them quickly. I started walking along the tree line in my friends yard. It was about 50 yards from where I started. I heard rustling in the woods so I knew I had found someone. As I slowly crept towards the sound all I could see were tree branches and trunks. As I got deeper and deeper into the woods I started to feel like someone was watching me but I knew it wasn’t my friends. I just sensed it was something different so I started to quickly walk out of there. Eventually I got out of the woods and started walking even further along the tree line. I heard the same noise again so of course I went back to see what it was. I probably went 15 feet into the woods and that’s when I saw it…
My flashlight was pointed at the ground so I could see where I was going. The noise was about 15 feet in front of me. I slowly raised my flashlight up. I started to see strange gray feet, legs, and a back. I immediately dropped the flashlight. With only the moon for lightweight, I saw the shadow turn around. In front of me, standing still, was a creature I had only seen in horror movies. It was about 6 feet 6 inches towering. I can only describe it as a demon. It had its wings tucked behind it because I saw them before I dropped the flashlight. Its arms were at its side. I couldn't make out its facial features very well. I don't want to sound corny, but it had glowing red eyes. It was a very dull lightweight, but it was a lightweight nonetheless.
At that point I froze in fear. All I knew was that I had to get out of there. I started to slowly back away. I tried not to make a sound but I knew my cover was blown. It was still standing still when I did this. I was almost out and I could hear sticks breaking so I knew it was moving. When I heard that I started to run away from there. I was now standing in the yard when I heard a thunderous diving sound like a giant bird taking off. I turned around and saw the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. This huge creature was flying towards the moon and I could see its very vast wingspan. It disappeared very quickly.
I stood in the middle of the lawn, silently, looking up at the sky. I had forgotten that we were playing hide and seek at that moment. I just went back inside and sat on the steps. Maybe 10 minutes later my friends came in and asked what I was doing. I think they saw me sitting there from my hiding place. They thought I had given up or something. I told them I wasn't feeling well. Not giving any indication of what I had seen. So we all went back inside. For the rest of the night all I could think about was that thing. What was it? What did it want? Where did it come from? Those were the things I thought about.
The next day I decided to draw, as best I could, what I saw…
A few days ago I was reading a story I saw on stumble upon, it was about people seeing some pretty weird stuff. And this thing sounded like what I saw that night 7 years ago. What really gave me goosebumps (and I still get them now just thinking about it) was the drawing the witness drew… it looked exactly like what I drew.
There were several more stories about this creature with even more drawings that looked like mine. Everyone called this thing “moth man”
now i dont know if what i saw was the same thing that all the other people saw but i know i saw something that i cant fully explain. i am not going to tell my friends or family because they would just laugh at me. i know what i saw thats all that matters to me.
