Bart Connor was lying on his bunk in a house rented by his group of college students and he found it difficult to breathe.
He had the feeling that an asthma attack had begun. He reached for his inhaler and took two deep breaths, but the medicine didn't work.
It happened at night. “I was conscious and heard my own loud heartbeat. My whole body was trembling and I was in a state of shock."
The guy finally managed to get up and walk to the bathroom, where he drank a glass of water. He came back and tried to fall asleep after that, but sleep did not come. “A strange sensation of my whole body suddenly came to me. I felt my muscles, felt every movement of the bones inside me. It was very strange."
He thought he might have suffered a stroke. He had once heard that such things happened with a stroke. “I started to say some words, I don't remember any more. Then he took a piece of paper and a pen and decided to write his name. But his hand hardly obeyed. seemed alien and rude. He wrote his name twice, and then the words "Don't tell yourself what to do" appeared in his head.
The cold went down my back after that, and then horrible visions appeared in my head. Ghosts, demons, all kinds of bad thoughts. And then I realized that what really bothers me is sitting in my closet."
This face seemed completely real and it was looking at Connor from the open closet through his hanging shirt. It was dark gray and you could see the hollows for the eyes, but the guy did not see the eyes themselves. "It had a long nose and it smiled strangely."
Horror filled Connor's entire body and he lay still staring at the face in the closet. And suddenly a memory from distant childhood flashed through his brain.
Promotional video:
“When I was little, I had a vision. A fox standing on two legs was next to my bed. She looked at me very intently and with an incomprehensible purpose. This image has firmly and obsessively settled in my head."
Trying to forget this terrible memory, Conner slipped through his memory even earlier, before the fox appeared. And now he had an image of goat hooves walking across the floor of his room.
“I was then 8 or 9 years old. The memory was like a video. I saw the hooves go slowly towards my bed, and then blackout sets in. Hooves moving again and darkening again. Then the camera is understood higher and I see shaggy goat legs, black fur and a fluffy tail. Then everything slows down and I don’t know if this is such a memory or if I myself block the rise of the “camera” higher so as not to see the face of this creature."
Connor is sure that it was all completely real, because after all this, fear settled in him forever. Connor is also convinced that the black goat and the fox that appeared after it are the same object or they are related. Connor remembers that the fox's legs also went to his bed and he saw this figure in full. He also remembers seeing a two-legged fox outside his bedroom.
“I remember looking at his face and he smiled at me with his beady eyes and pearly white fangs. It scared me a lot."
At some point in his childhood, Connor managed to push these entities away from him and they did not come to him until that night in the student house. Something that night brought them back again and this face appeared in his closet.
“I lay looking at him and all these images and memories flashed through my mind. Then I closed my eyes, but with my eyes closed I began to see bunches of light and black dancing shadows and something was trying to get into my head. Then I clearly felt the pillow under my head move. It was so real, as if something strong was pushing her and trying to get out of her into my skull."
Connor managed to jump up, grabbed the pillow and saw that there was nothing under it. Then he passed out. He woke up in the morning. He still cannot forget what happened to him that night in September, when something creepy awakened old lost nightmarish childhood memories. It is not known whether something else happened to him later.
The story was told by the researcher and collector of anomalous stories Jason Offutt from Missouri, the author of several books on the paranormal.
