A devil like monkey creature use to wake me up
Submitted by:Rebecca
My Story: My story is more of a question. I am 45 yrs old now but when I was about 17 or 18 I was visitied by a devil like monkey creature several times. It always happened when I was alone. This 2 or 3 ft creature would wake me up and sit on my back snarling and showing its many thin sharp teeth. It was saying something to me but maybe in another language. It was heavy and I couldn't move but I could speak and it would put its face right down in mine while it was sitting on my back. It scared me at first but after a few visits I started to scream back at it and finally told it I believed in God and He would protect me so leave me alone. I've never seen it since...Thank You God! Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced anything like that. This was not a dream to me, but always happened while I was trying to sleep. I could feel its weight on my back and even though it was only 2 or 3 ft. it felt very heavy. I could not get up. I even remember feeling it slobber on my face while it was yelling at me. Has anyone ever experienced ything like that?

I have heard of such a thing. It’s called being in a hypnogogic state (Google “hypnogogia”). It’s when you’re in the state between waking and sleeping. You can experience paralysis and visual and auditory hallucinations. It can seem very real. I used to experience this all the time when I was younger. I felt like I was being held down and I would her a man laughing. Pretty scary stuff. It seemed so real. In all probability, that is what you were experiencing even though it felt like it was really happening. Something to think about anyway.

I’m actually very terrified right now that I read your writing… I’ve seen about a 3feet tall, dark and oily “devil” like creature (yet a little more animalistic than a “cliche devil figure”) in my youth and have never forgot the very sight that I saw.. I haven’t known if it’s a real memory, but I’ve talked about it with some people every once in a while and heard 2 similar experiences, yours being the third.
Just chatted with my ex-girlfriend in the middle of the night, as her friend thinks she’s going insane after seeing a creature like that watching her in her sleep, right next to her in the bed… She isn’t sure if it was a dream or reality. (hypnogogia as mentioned above, perhaps?) and my ex told me about it as she remembered what I had told I saw and her friend had described the same characteristics.
Her friend doesn’t know about my story, so she couldn’t have made it up because I’ve described the creature to her. Still the description is identical.
So now I decided to try and google the words “Dark devil like creature” to see if anyone else has seen something like that, as I don’t honestly know if it was my imagination, a dream or reality. It sure seems like a genuine memory image, as I remember in such detail.
Will tell “my story” in a while, but the weird thing about your writing is, I once (a few years ago) talked about my experience with a guy friend and I got seriously creeped out when he described the creature in very high detail to me before I could even tell him what it looked like!
He also said it was about 3 feet tall, dark coloured, with kinda pointy ears in the side of the head, big-ish eyes and sharp white (almost silver-ish) needle teeth.
And right now, what creeps me out the most is that his story has alot of similarities with yours, that I hadn’t experienced, or heard from anyone else.
He described seeing it as a kid all the time when he was trying to sleep. It talked to him in a weird language, that he somehow kinda still somewhat understood. It often tried to reach for him with “it’s” arm, trying to call him to come with it somewhere and as you said, sat on him and harrassed him kinda like you just described. I KID YOU NOT. That is exactly what he told me. Your similar experience freaks me out damn much. *chills*
So my experience;
I had a friend over and I was… Dunno, maybe 10-12? maybe even younger, I can’t recall how old I was in numbers, but well, we were in the most active age of boys and we did pranks and whatnot, but still wasn’t really “big boys” yet in any way.
So we had gone to sleep, my friend sleeping next to me, our heads facing a window above our heads and our legs facing the only door of the room, about 10 feet away. I was already spooked, because it was raining outside and a thunderstorm was going on, and I was scared of lightning when I was younger. So I couldn’t sleep because of that. My friend was sleeping, as he didn’t have that problem and the storm wasn’t really above us and wasn’t thundering that loud to wake him up. Just distant flashes, basic rainfall, distant thunder.
So while awake, I heard something in the stairs that kinda creak when stepped on, but our house never creaks on it’s own. The rooms door was open and I didn’t really see that much outside of the room. (We were upstairs and the stairs were just on the left of that door)..
So I looked at the door to check what the noise was and I thought I saw this around 3 feet tall shadow at the door (I remember it’s “head” being about as high as the door handle) and kept staring at the “shadow”, trying to see it better… In total disbelief if I’m actually seeing anything. The lightning flashed and what I saw was something I’ll never forget and never have seen since.
It had a dark “oily” skin and looked kinda like a little devil, but more animalistic like you kinda describe it too. It had kinda sharp ears, very white sharp teeth and pretty big eyes, that kinda flashed from the lightning like cats eyes do when light hits em. It was in a “semi-crouched pose” as if sneaking quietly past the door, when the lightning flashed and it clearly looked RIGHT at me at that very moment. Even writing about this gives me the chills. It noticed I saw it. And I immediately had a feeling I wasn’t supposed to see it. So I pulled the blanket over me and hid until I fell asleep, in my fear.
I remember it also having a thin tail, that was also very dark and oily, as it’s whole skin. I don’t remember seeing any hair on it’s body though. At least not thick, as my “mental image” of it is mostly just oily dark skin.
I admit, I’ve been skeptical and in kinda dis-belief about what I saw forever, as I know youth has vivid imagination. And it could’ve been a “half-awake” kinda dream as Jen said. But it gives me the chills every time I think about what I saw as I have the picture forever in my head…
And now I’ve actually heard 3 other stories of a similar creature, from different people, before I have even had the chance to describe the creature to them.
I wouldn’t probably believe it if I told my story and then someone said “Yeah I’ve seen it too”, but as I’ve heard stories without myself even telling it first, this is really starting to creep me out and …
What … what if the thing I REMEMBER is an actual memory?
I’m in that same house right now :S I guess I’ll sleep with my lights on, as the thought of that thing scares the crap out of me.
(I’m a 26 year old guy from Finland, just “for the record” And I swear on my mothers life that everything I’ve told above is “true” {I did experience it… Not sure what to believe]

I have seen a monkey lizard creature. I have been seeing it for 12 years at least twice a year. My grandma has done a lot of research on demons and she says that is what IT is.
