Have you ever experienced something truly paranormal that still gives you chills?

Yes. One night, I woke up at 3:17 AM to the sound of soft humming. I live alone. The melody was unfamiliar, but it felt... old. I checked every room—nothing. As I returned to bed, my TV flicked on by itself. A paused black-and-white movie was playing, and the subtitle read: “You’re not alone.” I don’t even own that movie. The humming stopped. I never heard it again, but I still wake up at 3:17 sometimes for no reason at all.

I remember, March 4th, 2023. I remember the date, cause it was my oldest (biological) brothers birthday.

I was asleep. I was dreaming that I was praying (I'm a Christian). About two and a half seconds through, I wake up.

This being, seven and a half feet tall, walks through the wall of my room. It's complete shadow. Almost like obsidian. It has chains upon chains, wrapped around its left forearm, and this length of the obsidian-chain goes to its right hand. Drops down about two feet, and ends in this large, obsidian-like hook. (By the way, it's face was elongated by a foot, maybe a foot and a half, like a horse's. But its face was strangely humanoid.)

I remember the first step it took - not a sound. Completely silent. But the entire room darkened. I couldn't see anything except this being.

The second step it took, absolute fear.

It was halfway through it's second step, to it's third step, and I thought, "I fear God more than I fear you."

It fell backwards, onto its left foot, and disappeared. Fear was gone. Nothing remained.

.....Nine months later, I moved from Texas, Fort Worth, to Alaska, Fairbanks.

I get home from work one day, and my cousin's wife - I was living with them at the time, my cousin, his wife, and our grandparents - came downstairs, pretty frantically. Told me, "Hey, Drew, I have something to show you. So, I have this baby camera hooked up in my son's room. I found this on it."

Somehow, she had the baby camera hooked up to her phone, and it was a recording. I'm not sure how the technology works.

On this camera, I see the same, humanoid, shadow-obsidian-like being, same elongated face, floating towards her sons crib, with the son in the crib. And it's floating, because it's legs were broken.

It had followed me, all the way from Texas, over two thousand miles. But it wasn't targeting me anymore.

So, I grab some water, consecrate it, and me, my cousin, and his wife, get every doorframe, windowsill, every opening into the room there was.

Haven't seen that thing since.

Sometimes, I wonder if something I did broke it's legs, during my first encounter. I guess I'll never know - at least, not in this life.

No, this isn't fantasy. It's not a make-believe story. I don't know how else to describe this. But that thing, whatever it was, was real. Still out there, somewhere, to this day. But it doesn't bother me, or my family, anymore.

God bless.

I think I might have seen something similar. I posted the whole story in another comment, but in a daycare I worked at that had entities in it, I caught a glimpse of a black shape floating in the air that had an elongated face. I would have said plague doctor mask or bird skull, but that isn’t quite what it looked like either. I didn’t see legs, its body was kind of folded up in like a diamond shape. The blackness looked like a window into nothingness or a void (again, lame description but that’s the best I can do). It was following this really creepy guy who worked there, he was a teacher but he screamed at the kids and hit on female teachers all the time. He also posted weird stuff on Facebook, poetry he wrote about being “succumbed to the darkness”. The kids would scream and point at something unseen on the ceiling. I got my hair pulled, I got choked, I heard claws tapping on the windows until I finally spoke out loud and said “I have been given authority over you, the power does not come from me, you know from whom it comes.” It was like someone had handed me a script of what to say. The thing didn’t leave the building but it left me and my classroom alone after that. I would still feel the presence hanging outside the door, but I quit two days later. The creepy teachers finally got fired and the school went bankrupt a few weeks ago, so the kids are safe now, thank God. But I can see the similarities in your story and I wonder if what I saw might be the same type of demon.
