Meditation is usually thought of as something that brings peace and clarity, but for TikToker Ashley Jones (@yourspiritualbigsis), who used to be a witch, one session turned into a horror show. She’s talking about the first time she ever saw a demon.
One day, she was meditating on the couch with an altar filled with crystals, tarot cards, and spell books in front of her. She was trying to channel positivity and manifest her dream life. At first, it was just like any other day.
But then, she began to drift off. She saw her living room, even though her eyes were closed. It was like she was awake inside a dream. Then, she heard her office door open, which was strange because she was home alone.
All of a sudden, she heard footsteps. When she looked over at her closet door, she saw a skinny, black, 10-foot-tall creature with no face.
She wanted to get up and run away, but she couldn’t move.
The creature slowly walked in front of her, bent at the hip, and stared at her. Their faces were inches apart. Ashley screamed on the inside, still frozen in place.
She has no idea how long she was stuck there. The whole thing probably lasted about five minutes, although it felt like an eternity to her. Finally, she snapped out of it, and she fell to the ground as control of her body returned.
Shaken, she ran to call her best friend and told her that her house was haunted. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it. For the next six months, Ashley continued to see terrifying beings every day throughout her home.
“I was miserable every single day for the rest of those six months,” she said. “I was stricken with anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep paralysis, and I felt like I would never get out.”

Once she stopped her witchcraft practices, the demonic beings also stopped visiting her. Five years later, she is now the happiest and most peaceful she has ever been in her life.
In the comments section, some TikTok users interpreted her experience as a spiritual warning not to mess with witchcraft, while others shared similar stories.
“People honestly don’t realize what doors they are opening when they are ‘playing’ with this stuff. Ouija boards, crystals, tarot cards, etc., are basically just saying welcome, welcome. The spiritual realm is very real,” wrote one user.
“I was a yoga/meditation teacher. I did shrooms once and saw what I was really dealing with. The veil was lifted, and it was terrifying,” commented another.
“I had a sleep paralysis experience, and it looked exactly like that. I screamed, but it felt muffled, and I couldn’t wake up,” added a third.
