My Experiences.

I come from a very religious family. Demons/Angels is my explanation for everything I am about to write, but I am open to hear any other explanations you may all have. Sorry but this one is gonna be long.

My grandparents where very old fashioned, so when I stayed with them as a child I was kept on a tight schedule. Even if I was crying, they kept my locked in my room (their attic). My parents where out on a trip, so I was staying with my grandparents. Sure enough, I started crying and was left there. No one was coming for me, which made me cry even more. That is when a young lady in a sunflower dress put her hand on me and began to hum. I fell back to sleep quickly, so I believe that was an angel. Of course that memory could be anything since I was around 2/3.

I had an imaginary friend growing up, and his name was lee. He was an old man who loved to dance, but was sad because his wife had left him. Late at night he would come into my room and dance to this odd music. (Got me into jazz though, it gives me this odd vibe these days that remind me of lee) He would tell me stories every once and awhile about his favorite coffee shop and other weird life stories. My dad thought seven year old me was just imaginative but my mother called a priest to bless the house. Never saw lee again.

Things where quiet for awhile, nothing to odd happened. My mom canceled a few vacations here and there because of dreams she had where one of us died on said trip. That got annoying but she has seen some weird stuff, and predicted future events before.

My family is a also very heavily invested in Rodeo. My dad being a rancher, my mom a barrel racer and so on. I was with my little brother who would have been five, and I about ten. We where sitting on the top of the bleachers watching my mom compete. My brother and I where tickling each other or some shit and I pushed him off the bleachers. Which the fall was not massive, but for a five year old falling 70 feet could not be all that peachy. I was freaking out and this woman walks up to me, she smiles and hands me a Dr. Pepper. She says, I caught him. He is just sleeping now. Freaked me out but sure enough, my brother was fine. Just out cold from the fall. No idea where the lady went after that, so I think it was an angel but hey could have just been a nice lady handing out Dr. Pepper.

Their was this mirror in the down stairs bathroom of my house. Gave me bad vibes, so I avoided going down there. But on the days I dead I would look the other way and try to get out of there as soon as possible. One time, I stared into it trying to overcome my fear but I was met by and older lady staring back at me. I stood there for what felt like hours, unable to move. My mom found me and shook me out of the trance. Weird memory, and the main reason I dislike mirrors today.

My family bought a piece of land in the Gila national forest. From a practicing witch. (Side note, we found a stash of coke so that was fun) But she performed sacrifices and did odd rituals on the property before we moved their. A lot of things happened here. All starting with my dog digging up animal bones. Then everyone started hearing voices just passed the dark tree lines at night. We where remodeling the little huts and shacks she built around the property, when things really started to pick up in a paranormal sense. I was left alone in the camper/rv we where staying in during the remodel when something knocked at the door. I open it, to find nothing. I look around and see something dark with red eyes behind one of the trees. "We come from the depths. We come from the mines" It hissed. I will be completely honest, I peed a little. Right then I knew there was a God. I know there was a Hell and that whatever this thing was came from it. I locked myself in the camper and called my parents. (Side note, this property is now a rental. A weird hermit claimed to see the same thing behind trees with no knowledge of my stories or previous tenets. He moved. A monk refused to to step foot on the property due to a bad energy coming off of it. Also while remodeling we wanted to donate a bunch of tiles we salvaged from the floors in the witches houses/shacks and a catholic nun refused to accept them due to their energy) But something that monster said stuck with me, the part about coming from the mines.. I explored a lot back in those woods, but nothing will ever compare to when I found the empty field. Imagine wandering through dense woods and stumbling onto something about the size of a football field with nothing on it but a boulder dead center. This was a town site, for an abandoned mine. On the other side of the field was the Cleveland Mine Site. Abandoned in the 1800s, this little piece of land is a hidden gem in New Mexico. Old stone towers, staircases leading no where and an old dam holding water. The weirdest part was the holes though, their where holes and caverns that went on for ever. Leading into darkness, all I could think of was what ever the monster I saw before came from here. Odd noises came from these holes but I never fully explored them due to the danger of the caves collapsing. We moved far away from there.

Things went quiet again, until I started going to a private christian school out of an old baptist church. I have written about this before on this sub reddit but for a quick version- Exorcisms took place there in the seventies, students had reported seeing a woman in white wander the empty halls. The school had a massive basement, more like a labyrinth. Some friends and I messed around down there. Then weird stuff started to happen after this girl tried her best to do some demon summoning rituals. got real weird after that. The pre k-5th graders heard a woman singing about morbid things. The Spanish teacher heard every door open and close repeatedly in the early morning even though she was the only one there. I threw a ball down a long hallway and something threw it back. The pastor came in and blessed the place, police showed up to look for any homeless squatting in the area. Just a weird time.

Things have been quiet lately, my mother sees shadowy figures move around our house at night but she says they are friendly. Weird, but kinda normal after everything I have seen. These are all of my stories. Believe me or not, things are out there and I really do want to understand it all someday. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
