In the depths of my closet

Glowing eyes of the night

By Lora Shields Published 2 years ago • 2 min read

In the depths of my Closet, where darkness swirls and glowing eyes of the night watch over me with the eerie intense feeling. I found myself confronting a long forgotten box. As I slowly lift its lid, A chorus whispers fills the stale air, each word a fragment of my childhood memories that long had been buried. What seemed like a distant dream is now a puzzle piece, hinting to the existence of a hidden realm between worlds, where shadows play games and fears materialize before my very own hazel eyes. I vividly recall a scary and unforgettable night from my childhood. When I was five years old, is when I experienced something weird. It was really late at night, I was in bed my favorite fur baby Tosha. The room was cloaked and the heavy silence of the dark hour, only to be broken by the uneasy feeling weighing heavily upon like palpable force. Suddenly tasha’s usual loving demeanor was shattered as she began growling and barking showing her teeth fearfully at something lurking within the confines of the closet, my gaze was drawn to the source of her distress. The eyes of the entity or demon emanating A chilling glow of the bright red eyes stared deep into the depths of my being and unsettling my very soul. In a quick heartbeat, before I could make sense of the surreal forsaking sight before me. Tosha leaped off the bed, still showing teeth, barking and growling. Tosha looked so determined and focused, she disappeared into the darkness of the closet with a swift motion and action. The once evil and eerie presence that had gripped us with its unsettling gaze, seemed to evaporate in an instant. I was left completely bewildered and haunted by the events that just unfolded in that dark space. When Tosha emerged, her fur was matted and dirty from a substance that was not her own. The liquid, painted a gruesome picture of the inexplicable encounter that had just taken place within that fateful closet. Tosha was no longer acting like her normal self. As I slowly try and piece together the fragment of that horrible and scary night. Many questions swirl within my mind like tempestuous storm. Was Tosha perhaps possessed by that entity or demon lurking in the shadows of the closet or was is it all a figment of my imagination, a possible dream distorted by the haze of childhood fears? Despite the decades that passed, the enigma within the confines deep in the closet, remains a haunting mystery, a talk that continues to defy rational explanations and lingers as specter of the unknown in the depths of my memory. As I got older, I got into ghost hunting to help me understand what may have happened that night. I believe that spirits (ghosts) and evil entities do exist. I tried going to the house this happened in to get answers, and it was no longer there because it was caught on fire. I wonder if they experienced what I did many years ago, and if so what happened to the evil that I saw lurking in the closet? Where did it go? To this day, I truly do not know what happened deep in that closet with that entity and Tosha, and I may never know what may have unfolded. I guess I will never find the truth or answers to the many questions I have from that unforeseen night when I was only 5 years old.
