He Had A Creepy Experience With A Cloaked Being One Night After Moving To A Small Town When He Got Out of The Army
After experiencing something traumatic, it’s common for people to begin seeing terrible things on a normal day.
One veteran had an unmatched paranormal experience after moving to a small town after a few years of serving overseas.
He served in the Army and was deployed in Afghanistan for a while. It was a challenging time in his life, and he had to put a lot of effort into readjusting to normal life when he left Afghanistan and moved to a small Pennsylvania town with his ex-wife.
It was not a particularly safe town, as it used to be built around a prominent steel company. When that company went out of business, unemployment rates went up, as well as crime and “general lawlessness.”
To make matters worse, he and his ex-wife, whom he was still married to at the time, were not handling things well and argued often. Needless to say, it wasn’t the best place for a veteran to adjust to life after service, but the rent was cheap.
He would often take long walks around the neighborhood to avoid confrontation with his wife and clear his head.
One day, on one of his longer walks, he saw something that shook him to his core.
“I made my escape and headed out into the poorly lit streets for at least three hours,” he explained.
“After completing my 6th circuit, I decided that things had probably calmed down enough for me to try and get some sleep, as by this point, it was already 4:00 AM, and I was extremely tired and sore. As I turned the corner that led to my block’s stretch of sidewalk, I suddenly saw a dark figure appear right outside the chain link fence that surrounded my small front yard.”

At first, he thought he had seen a burglar, which wouldn’t have been too surprising considering the town’s crime rates.
As he started back at the dark figure, a sudden wave of terror washed over him. Suddenly, it started moving, and he got disoriented as he couldn’t tell if it was going toward or away from him.
“Time slowed down, and my heart sped up, and then I began to walk,” he remembered.
“I couldn’t help it. My brain was screaming at my legs to stop, but they kept going as though they were being pulled by an unseen force. It was at this point I got a semi-better look at this individual, though all I could really make out was his dark outline despite him standing almost directly under a street lamp.”
Nausea and panic set in as he continued to impulsively walk towards the strange figure. By the time they were only three houses apart from each other, he noticed the figure was wearing a hooded cloak, like something straight out of a horror movie.
As he got closer to it, he saw the figure start waving the cloak rapidly, and he was suddenly convinced he was dealing with something paranormal and inhuman. Then, it vanished.
“Within seconds, it was completely gone from my line of sight, disappearing as quickly as it had come,” he said.
“I was immediately able to regain full control over my legs and overcome the nausea long enough to run up to my front door and pound on it until my ex let me in. She wasn’t overly happy, but I could have cared less by that point.”
To this day, he is fully convinced he was dealing with something paranormal and demon-like.
