Be careful

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my son, Tom, whimpering in his sleep. I got out of bed and went to his room to check on him. As I entered the room, I immediately felt a chill run down my spine. The air in the room was thick, heavy, and had an oppressive feeling that made me uneasy.

Tom was tossing and turning in his bed, clearly distressed. I tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't budge. It was as if he was in a deep sleep, but his body was still reacting to something.

As I stood there, trying to comfort my son, I heard strange noises coming from the walls. It sounded like someone was tapping on the pipes or scratching at the plaster. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, and I knew something was not right.

Over the next few days, strange things began to happen around the house. Objects would move on their own, doors would slam shut, and I would hear footsteps coming from empty rooms.

One night, as Tom and I were watching TV in the living room, we both saw a shadowy figure move across the room. It was quick, but we both saw it. Tom clung to me, and I could feel his heart beating fast against my chest.

After a week had passed since the strange occurrences in my house, my son Tom started acting strangely. He became quiet and withdrawn, spending most of his time alone in his room.

At first, I thought he was just going through a phase, but as the days went by, I started to worry. He stopped eating, and he barely slept. I tried talking to him, but he wouldn't open up to me.

One night, I heard Tom crying in his room. When I went to check on him, I found him huddled in a corner, shaking with fear. He told me that he had been seeing things - strange figures lurking in the shadows, watching him from the corners of his room.

I tried to reassure him, telling him that it was just his imagination playing tricks on him, but deep down, I knew that something was wrong.

Over the next few days, Tom's behavior grew even more erratic. He refused to leave the house, and he stopped talking altogether. It was as if he was living in his own world, disconnected from reality.

I knew I had to do something to help him, so I turned to the paranormal investigator who had helped me before. They agreed to come to my house to investigate, hoping to uncover the source of Tom's strange behavior.

As they explored the house, they discovered that there was a negative entity present - a malevolent spirit that had been feeding off of Tom's energy. They advised me to perform a ritual to cleanse the house and rid it of the entity.

I followed their instructions, gathering candles, incense, and other materials to perform the ritual. As I lit the candles and recited the incantations, I felt a strange energy flowing through me, as if the negative entity was trying to resist my efforts.

But I persisted, and as I finished the ritual, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. The air in the house felt lighter, and I knew that whatever had been plaguing my son was gone.

Over the next few days, Tom slowly started to return to his normal self. He started eating again, and he even smiled for the first time in weeks. I knew that we had faced a dark and dangerous entity, but with the help of the paranormal investigators, we had come out the other side, stronger and more resilient than before.
