The Confessionals - RELOADED | 319: The Monster Outside My Window

Episode Date: April 22, 2024

In Episode 319: The Monster Outside My Window, we are joined by Derrick and Tayler. Derrick begins the show by describing his experience with a creature that approached his window one night while he was sleeping. After researching what he witnessed outside, Derrick concluded that he had seen a Rake. When he told his stepbrother about the encounter, his stepbrother revealed he had seen the same creature, but called it “the monkey man." After Derrick’s story, we talked with Tayler, who reached out to The Confessionals as a new listener. Through tuning in to the program, she started connecting dots between topics she never usually paid much mind to. But then she started seeing things in her home, and she wasn't the only one - her husband saw them too. She describes the activity they both experienced and how they made it stop.Sasquatch and the Missing ManWatch the Live Premiere on REPLAY here: https://www.moment.co/sasquatchTeaser Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3b4tTY9bssThe Confessionals Members App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZBecome a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinWatch The Shape of Shadows: merkelfilms.comWatch Expedition Dogman: merkelfilms.comAFFILIATESPrepare with Valley Food Storage: https://alnk.to/2uG55AOGet your Nephilim Blaster 2000: https://alnk.to/9mnHak1Bluecosmo Satellite phones: https://alnk.to/e769EipSee Bigfoot with Sionyx night vision: https://alnk.to/bEhxr3FEmergency medical with My Medic: https://alnk.to/dpr6QM4Black Beard Fire Starters: https://alnk.to/4BFcIbeEcoFlow Power Generators: https://alnk.to/flvpAQwGoDark Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/5jke3rkEMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!SPONSORSSIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [e-mail] to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media257 N.

Merkel Media I guess it's time to go back in time Are you telling me you built a time machine Kind of a Dolion Time is but a stubborn illusion I have a lot of memories

Of the past People are time traveling within themselves Time travel Is possible This was all circulating around the base that a giant had been killed, but no one was supposed to talk about it. Boney fingers, reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear. When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me.

And this giant comes out of the cave, and they're all frozen. And he starts running and firing at this giant. With a giant moves, he's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast. And spears, Dan, holds him up. like this. Somebody else. Shoot them in the face. Shoot them in the face.

They basically decapitated. Something pulling at my leg. And I look over and there are two small gray entities pulling it. And they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed. I reached my hand into this bush and I touch air. Couldn't breathe and I couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster. Okay. I reloaded.

today. Now this week we have Derek and Taylor coming on the show today. We're going to start off with Derek who actually saw a rake creature at his window at night that was trying to get into his room. He did reach for the gun and he didn't shoot it, but he thought about it. And it's a very interesting story. And then we're going to bring on Taylor who found this show and started having experiences after she started listening to this show. But don't worry. There's a happy ending when it comes to Taylor and her husband and their experiences in their home. very interesting conversation I had with both these people. So let's get to it right now. All right. Today we got Derek on the show. Derek, how you doing, brother?

Good. How are you doing, Tony? Doing good, man, doing good. So, Derek, you and your stepbrother both have some interesting experiences, I say, that probably relate to each other, but you didn't know about your stepbrother's experiences until you had yours. You told to him, and he said, yeah, he saw that too. So why don't you start us off with your stepbrother's experiences? that brother and what he saw and then walk us into what you saw. All right. So, yeah, the really what it was is I, after what I saw, I mentioned it to him and he said, oh, yeah, I saw something that was just like that.

He said, he called it the monkey man. He said, oh, yeah, the monkey man. And I was like, well, what are you talking about? You see the monkey man. He said, well, it was just looking at me through my window. And then it just took off. And that was all that he really had to say about it. He's not one of those guys that really likes to get into the story too much or,

or even mention it to a lot of people. He probably wouldn't have said anything if I wouldn't have mentioned what I saw the one night. So he had seen something that was like it. I assume it was probably very similar or the exact same thing. But that's where he comes into play on it. Okay. So you see something. You go to your stepbrother and you tell him about it.

And he's like, oh, yeah, I saw that too. He calls it the monkey man. Now, I know you're calling it something different. We'll get into that after you tell us. what you experienced now. Yeah, so what it was, I was just sleeping in my bed at my parents' house. They have, to give you an idea of the location of it, it would be, it's got a valley on each side of the property.

And the area that my parents' house was in, this is back in, I think it was about 2012 is where, or 2012 is when we, I kind of worked out the timeline, too. Honestly, I hadn't really talked about it a whole lot for so long that I had to work it back and figure out when exactly I lived with them. But they have two little valleys on each side of their hill or a house on the property there. And they're about 50 yards across and about 50 feet deep. But basically small streams on each side of the property kind of run and make a triangle. And the bedroom window where my bedroom is is on the same. side of one of those. So it's just too out my window, basically. There's a little bit of yard,

and then it goes to that little valley. We have fires down there and things like that. The night that it happened or the night that I saw this thing, it was a clear night. There was a bright moon out like it was just a few nights ago here. I mean, it's so bright out. You don't even need a light to see anything. You can just see perfectly clear, and it's just really, really bright. And the weird thing or something that's different probably about my parents' house is The window that my bedroom was at is ground, it's ground level. There's a hill that goes from the front down to the back, and this window's in the middle of the house.

So when you're standing by, it's only about six inches off of the mulch or the ground that's right there. So you can walk right up to the window. And if you're standing by the window, it's probably, you know, a little bit above your belly button or in the middle of your chest or not quite your chest. But that's about how tall the window is when you're walking up to it. And their house doesn't have screens on it either. I mean, it's a newer home from that house.

We just don't have screens on it. Normally, you wouldn't have your window open because you're going to get eaten by mosquitoes, but I have a friend that works for the Minnesota Mosquito Squad. It's a Pennupon County, the county from Minneapolis.

They actually pay for the service. So if you have a lot of mosquitoes like they do because they have the small creek that runs by the, in the little valleys that are right next to the house there. You can call them and they come out. My buddy worked for them and he would come out there and just slay all the mosquitoes. They basically put down a big fog and it kills all the mosquitoes.

So when you get it like that and it's a decent night out, you can crack your window open and sleep. You know, you just get a nice breeze going. And that's nice to me. It's heavily wooded all the way around the property or all the way around the house. It's kind of just a nice neighborhood. I mean, the houses and the properties are spread out more. So our neighbors are there, but they're about 150 yards away, I would say. So everyone's got at least probably eight or nine acres to each home that's in that development there.

So I was sleeping. I have my window open about six inches or so. And I was just sleeping on my back. Like I said, it was a bright, it was just almost moonlit nights where it was just very bright. And I woke up, I was sleeping. on my back, I woke up in the middle of the night, and I looked over at the window, and there was this thing just crouched down. It was just crouched, like, punched down like, I really don't know how you can't describe it. It wasn't on all fours. It was just squatted down, but I was looking

at the crack in the window. It was looking at that gap opening. It wasn't really looking at me. And when I first looked over and saw it, I'm like, mm-hmm, I'm still sleeping. So I just grabbed my leg. I pinch my leg. I pinch the side of my leg. I pinched the side of my leg. I pinched as hard as I possibly could. And I was like, well, definitely not sleeping. So I can't say yourself again one more time. And I'm like, yep, we're definitely not sleeping. And this is just me thinking to myself.

And this thing still crouched down. It's looking, it's like studying the window for some reason. And I start looking at it. And I'm like, yeah, that's definitely not any type of animal. They've been hunting all my life. And I mean, a duck hunt, a goose hunt. We got a nice beer that I just got the other year. the wall so I can identify animals. I've been hunting all my life and yeah it definitely wasn't

anything that I've ever seen before. So as I was saying there, I just kind of started to squint my eyes a little bit so I didn't want to see that I was just wide awake staring at it. So I squinted to my eyes so I just kept on watching it and I watched this thing and I'm like, what's it even going for? What's it looking for? What's it what's it want? There was no like big fear set in where I was so afraid of it. It wasn't that big. It wasn't very, big at all. I'm like, oh, it's not really a danger to me. It can't get in. It wasn't like grabbing at the window or anything like that. It was just looking at it. And as I watched it, I'm thinking to myself, what are they even looking for? And that's when it occurred to me that it was looking for,

it was looking for a way in or trying to get in. The windows that we have, they're crank windows, but the crank actually folds out and then you crank it and then you fold it back in and it folds into itself. So there's nothing for you to just reach in and grab. I mean, you could if you knew it was there. But they're kind of like hidden. Not like the regular window crank where it's just always out and grab it. So as I watched it, I noticed that it was trying to get in or looking for a way.

And then again, I wasn't grabbing on the window or anything. But once I noticed that, I'm like, well, this thing's definitely not coming in here. And I just slowly started sliding my right leg off. of the bed until I set it down on the ground. And then I slowly started flatting my left leg with it, like trying to leave my torso in place as much as I could. I was doing it really slowly. And mind you, I had a good 30 seconds to sit and stare at this thing and definitely identify

that's not something I've ever seen before. So once I got both feet on the ground, I just kind of slid my torso over and I stood up quickly. I opened up the door that is in the that's my closet door right there so that's where I have my 10 gauge at and it probably loaded. I grabbed the 10 gauge I turned and I didn't flip on any light.

I turned, went to shoulder it and right when I was going to shoulder it, we made eye contact. It turned and just darted off straight in the wood. And I just remember when I got it up to my shoulder, I had like a shot that I could have taken at it back, but it just it wasn't feasible at the time. I mean, if I had a shot and we'll just say I missed it, that would have been an interesting thing to try and explain to my parents.

I just shot a 10-gauge round straight through the window. Yeah. So I didn't pull the trigger on it. And right when it ran off, I was just like, holy cow, that thing was fast. I mean, it was unbelievably fast. It was so quick when it ran off in the woods. And that was, it just, I just didn't have enough time. I mean, I trap shooting everything like that.

So I know when I can get a shot on something. And this thing, it just moved away so fast that I just really didn't have time. pull the trigger and get it. If it still would have been squatted there, I would have definitely blasted it. That would have been nice, but I just remember saying, oh, my gosh, it's so fast. And then I was kind of upset because it figured it would have been worth some good chunk of change if I would have downed it, but it didn't happen. That's what it was.

I was able to sit there and look at it. I'd never heard of this thing that people called the Rake at this time. Never heard of it a single time in my life. but then probably, you know, I told a few friends about it and they're like, oh, you're crazy, blah, blah, blah. And, I mean, I'm stone sober 100%. And so there's no drugs or alcohol involved with it. And I just didn't really think much of it for quite some time. And then one of the days, I'm like, oh, yeah, I saw that thing.

Maybe I'll look around and try and figure out what it is. And then I saw some stuff that people had saying, oh, the rake this. But that really wasn't what it was, though, like the people. pictures that people put up saying with the rate, that's not really what it was. It was something else. And I shot you a photo, Tony, that, not a photo or drawing

that somebody did. I think they put some, someone put some comment in there something like that on the drawing. It said like, yeah, right. And I was like, I don't know who did the drawing. It was something that I found. I think there was someone that was in Canada, I found on Facebook that said that they had seen something like that.

So, yeah, that was, and once I saw that photo, I was like, that's exactly what it was. That was it to a tee. That's the thing that was sitting there, squatted by the window. It had the whole legs bent back, like, I don't know, like the old werewolf legs, if you will. But the thing wasn't hairy at all.

I mean, it was gray. It was small as in, if it was standing straight up and down, it's probably like five and a half feet tall. It wasn't very heavy. It was a thinner looking thing. Had longer arms on it. I didn't see big cloth. on it or anything like that.

And I mean, I've looked at the window still sense and, like, looked around to see, you know, are there any marks on it from it grabbing it or anything like that? I didn't see any marks on it. But, yeah, it was just that, I mean, it's got the big black eyes, like people say. So obviously it's got really good night vision. I don't know how that all comes into it or where this thing comes from or is. I mean, I've got a trail camera out there that I run. all the time and then I just check it just to see who knows maybe it'll pop up but the weird thing is

is I've never heard one of these sightings of this kind of like rake-like thing I've never heard of one occurring in the winter which is kind of interesting and I have heard another story about someone saying that it was kind of by a valley or you know in between two hills type deal but um yeah it was uh something else no no yeah it definitely sounds like a crazy experience and yeah when you sent me the pictures over or not the picture but the picture of the drawings of this creature, it's like to describe the audience, and if you want, go ahead and head on over to the website, and I'll post it in the description on the website. The drawings that you have here, it's like it shows the anatomy of this creature.

And just by looking at a first glance, I mean, it looks like a rape creature to me as to what I'm looking at here. And if this is what you saw, at least as close as to what you saw. That's terrifying, man. That's like, I mean, I don't, dude, I don't even know if I would have had the guts to get out of bed to get the gun. Yeah, it was something else. I mean, like I said at first, it wasn't when I saw it,

it was just trying to figure out, well, am I awake or am I not? And then I was, as I watched it, like I said, I was just trying to figure out like, well, what's it doing? But, yeah, once I knew that it was, or once I, I figured it was looking for a way in because of the way it looked at the window cell. I mean, it was scanning it like up and down the edge. And as it was doing that, it was paying no attention to me at all. And it was just scanning all around the edge of the thing, kind of like moving a little bit back and forth, up and down, staring at it, kind of like an owl.

And that's one, yeah, that's when I'm like, well, I'm not going to let it in, whatever it is. But like I said, it couldn't have got in. It would have to break the window to get in. But, yeah, it was definitely, it was interesting. thing. I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't really fearful of it. I mean, now if I thought it was the same situation, I might be a little bit more fearful of it just because of watching stuff online. But, you know, at the moment, I hadn't heard of anything like that or seen anything like that. So I just had no idea what it was. I just knew that it wasn't coming in. Yeah. And it makes you wonder if

this creature has done something like that before where it goes into somebody's house through a window, and that's why I was doing it to begin with, that's an unsettling thought too, you know, to think that it might have done this before to somebody else's house and just couldn't figure out

why I couldn't get into your house, especially with the windows cracked. Now, I interviewed a guy a while back, and I don't even, I don't remember what episode this was, but he had seen a rake. He pulls into his driveway

and he and his wife saw this creature sitting in the, or yeah, I believe it was sitting in the, in the backyard of their house or I think maybe in between him and his house and his neighbor's house. It was something like that. And the way he described it, I got a mental image in my head. And when I look at this picture, I'm like, that's exactly what I pictured in my head of that guy and his description of what he saw that night. Now, your stepbrother, if I remember correctly, you really don't know a whole lot of details as to what he experienced.

He just called, when you told him what you experienced, like, oh, yeah, I've seen that. I call it the monkey man, but he didn't tell you the situation around his sighting, right? No, no, like I said, he wasn't going to get into much detail about it. He was kind of skeptical or whatever you want to call it, even though it was there. He just called it. He said, oh, yeah, the monkey man. And I was asking him, but he's like, no, I'm. It was just that. That's really all I could get out of him. So he didn't really give me a whole

a whole lot to go on with it, you know, when it was or what exactly it looked like. I didn't really pry him too much for it. Yeah, that's understandable. I understand. It makes me wonder, do you, at being somebody who saw this creature, when he said monkey man, did that make sense in your mind that, you know, somebody would call it a monkey man? Yeah. I mean, at a glance, you know, when you first look at it, I could see someone doing that, you know, the, we're calling it monkey man. I mean, if you took a monkey and maybe took all the tear off of it, maybe it would look similar, you know, somewhat like it, but you think he was just kind of assimilating it to something. Do you think that this is a one and only creature kind of thing, or do you think there is more out there in the area that you live? No idea, tell you the truth, no idea. What do I think? I, I don't know. I just saw that. I just saw that.

just saw it that one time and I don't really go a whole lot past that on it. I mean, of course, there's a million stories you could think up or make of it. But, you know, in this thing, I just happened to see it that one time. And it was really interesting that I was able to look around on Facebook and find someone that had a drawing that was just like it. I was just like someone else was seeing this thing or something. Maybe there's more of them. I don't know. May I don't know. I don't know. I'll tell you true. Man, incredible. I don't think you mentioned it on the interview and if you don't feel comfortable saying it, that's fine. But can you at least tell us a general area of where this happened in the country?

Yeah, it happened in Greenfield, Minnesota. There's a road called Whisper Creek Trail. And if you look up Greenfield, Minnesota and find Whisper Creek Trail, there'll be houses off of that. And it was one of those homes is where it happened at. I mean, it's, yeah. So you can see how it's heavily wooded. I mean, my parents' place is basically hidden in the woods.

And yeah, that's where it was. Well, you had mentioned that it was interesting about it coming to the window. And I know there are some other stories that I read after I kind of saw that drawing when I started actually looking into it a little bit. Just curiosity's sake, there were people that had mentioned. And it's actually quite a few. There's like a handful of stories where people mentioned that they didn't have their screen on their window and that it came through their window.

I mean, some of the stories are pretty crazy. I mean, I don't know. They have some pretty interesting ones out there, but I know that that was one thing that stuck out was that people had mentioned how they didn't have a screen on their window. So I thought that was kind of an interesting, you know, similarity from my story to some of the other people. stories that I heard. Did they mention, like, when they were talking about the screen,

did they mention as in, like, their windows don't have screens, or did they mention it as in, like, after this experience, they looked at their window and there was no screen there? No, that they, that just, they didn't have a screen on their window, like in their area or wherever they live, they just didn't, they didn't have a screen on it, so their window's wide open. Gotcha. Okay. Now, you mentioned about how you have trail cams out and you would love to catch it on trail camera. Obviously, you're a hunter. you mentioned that and you're using your trail camps for, you know, spotting game as well. Has it ever crossed your mind or have you ever had a desire to go out there specifically looking

for this thing? No, not so much. I mean, I don't really want to sit in the woods for it just because I think I'd be at too much of a disadvantage for it and tell you the truth. I mean, I did. I talked to my parents. I'm like, I want to bear trap this thing so I can catch it. And they're like, yeah, that's not happening because we have dogs or they have dogs.

I mean, I have one too, but they have dogs as well, and that wasn't going to happen. So as far as going out and trying to find it, I just think it's so much of a one-off. I think when we met eyes, he knew I was just about the pollen in the face, so he decided he wasn't going to come back. I don't know. But maybe I can get him. Maybe I can get it on camera. That'd be a nice thing. They've got these new trail cams that will send you your photos.

You know, they have not Wi-Fi, but they're hooked up with satellites, so it'll take a photo. and then it'll alert you saying, hey, it took a photo and it'll send it to you. So maybe I can do something to try and catch it on a camera, and I think that would be pretty cool. That would be enough for me. I mean, that would be incredible. So if that ever happens, man, please share it with me so I can share with other people because that would be awesome. Last question here, you talked about how when it ran away, it was extremely fast. do you looking back at it

think that the speed of it was almost unnaturally fast or do you think that it was just you know fast just a fast creature do you think there was maybe something more to it because I mean these creatures I mean what you described and what we hear about the rate creature

they have characteristics that seem like it shouldn't exist you know and I'm just curious as to how fast if this was something that you felt in the moment that maybe it was ungodly fast kind of thing, you know, like supernaturally fast. It was, I would say it was, it was faster than anything that I've seen from zero to however fast it ran away. I mean, when I hunt teal, teal can fly up to 55 to 60 miles an hour

and you have to be ready for them. So the moment they fly by, you only have an instant to react and pull up and shoot at them. And I mean, that, that same reflex is what I used when I was going to take a shot at that thing, but it was, it was gone by the time that I could even really, I mean, get it shouldered and I was like ready for it. So was it supernatural like it was like Superman? No, but was it so, was it fast enough to be believable as in that it was like it was something? Yeah. I mean, I just think it was really fast for whatever it was. I mean, it kind of just took it really, right when we met eyes and I went to pull up the gun, I mean, it turned and basically pushed off and grabbed the ground with his front little hands, whatever.

It did that twice, and then right when it hit the little bottom of the hill, it just kind of transitioned a little bit. It took a few steps when it was not straight up and down. It was still angled, but he was gaining speed, and he blew right into the woods. It was, I don't know, sorry, if I got off topic or whatever. It was believable fast, so it wasn't, like, so fast that I would never believe that something can move like that, you know. I got you.

I know I said the last question, but this is the last question. And this is more, I think you might have touched on this, but I just, I'm having a hard time remembering what you exactly said. Did you go outside at any point after that, like the next day and look for any kind of tracks and stuff from where it took off from your window? No, I didn't really, it wasn't, uh, no, no, it was winter. Things were I went hunting for it. Yeah, it was wintertime, wasn't it? No, no, it was summertime. Oh, it was summertime.

Okay. Yep, it was summertime. That's how I had the summer. summertime full at moon type deal. And yeah, yeah, it was still summertime. Nice enough where you could have a nice kind of cool breeze. But, yeah, definitely summertime. I think it would have been like, I mean, my guess it was in August or something like that.

Yeah. All right, man. Well, listen, I appreciate you coming on the show and sharing this story, man. It's been interesting. And I always like hearing a good old rake story. Yeah, well, thanks for having me on the show. anyone else see something? I mean, maybe bring it up, you know, hop onto the show,

and let them know what you saw and give me the first person I, I don't know if I get any clothes with this thing. Taylor, how you doing? Good. How are you doing well? Doing well. So, Taylor, where are you from, by the way? What part of the country?

We're in Oregon. Okay, Oregon. That's right. That's right. I remember that now. So you're a relatively new listener. You started listening about, what, six, seven months ago? Is that right?

Yeah. Okay. And you reached out to me to ask basically if anybody ever started having experiences after they started hearing my show. So why don't you just kind of walk us into, you know, how did you stumble across the confessionals to begin with? Honestly, like looking for like kind of creepy pasta type stuff because I was a house cleaner at the time. And I was tired of all the music on repeat. So I was looking for something different. and I stumbled on the confessionals, and after I played the first episode, I was hooked,

and that was the only thing I listened to for, like, three months. Yeah, I know about the whole binging thing. When you find a podcast, you enjoy and stuff, you just binge it. But so you started listening to the show, and you were going through all the episodes. I imagine, you know, in a day's work, you can kind of get through a few episodes. Yeah. What made you start realizing that you started having to have a lot of, having experiences? How did this all start for you?

Started at my home. And the first experience I had was a shadow going through my home. And it was a pretty dark shadow. And when we first noticed it, it was me and my daughter and I have a little cat. And we were in our living room. And then all of a sudden I see the shadow start around the corner into the kitchen. And I didn't say anything. But my cat and my daughter saw it too. and they like chased after it. And I was like, oh, okay. That's a little weird. And I was like, why did you guys just leave?

And my daughter was like, well, there is a shadow. And my cat's all fluffed up. And I was like, okay, that's a little weird. And then a couple weeks later, I was taking a shower with my daughter. And then all of a sudden, all of the smoke alarms in my home just went off, like all of them. and I'm in the shower so I fly out of the shower I almost slide and bust my head open

but I'm looking for a fire at this point because I'm like these never go off. They haven't gone off the entire time. We've been there. So they all go off. It's like way deep into my daughter's room and they're not all wired to the house. They're just kind of like the battery ones. My landlord just kind of put up some

cheap ones. So I thought that was really weird and it never happened again except for the second time that happened It ended up happening to my husband, and he was, again, in the shower, door closed. There's no steam going everywhere. And everything, all of the fire alarms went off again. And we were like, okay, that's a little weird.

But then it started to get to the point to where every night at 3 a.m., I would wake up instantly. Just threw him right out of bed, straight up, not tired. And I'm like, okay, what the heck? at this point we're not getting any sleep and it's been like a good three or four weeks after the fire alarms and stuff happening and it's just dragging me down I can barely think about anything

and I'm trying to do my job and I ended up, my job ended up you know, slipping a little bit because I could not sleep at all. And at this point I was like, okay this is a little weird, some weird stuff happening and then you know we're hearing like knocks on the wall

in like increments of like three and you know just kind of the typical you kind of hear stuff of when you have hauntings is basically happening in my home and um and then things kind of started to amp up a little bit more we started i started to get kind of weird weird feelings in the home and you know a shiver up my spine where i'm home alone and you know you just kind of feel like you're in a crowded room and it's just you can just feel everybody and and And at that point, I was like, okay, this is getting a little creepy. So I started to, like, sage my home and, you know, do all that kind of type of stuff. You know, at this point, I'm not bringing in crosses or my pastor or anything like that at this point.

So I'm trying to do all of, like, the natural remedies to, like, get that juju out of the house. And that just made it worse. And then you start hearing, you know, things being thrown in the home and stuff like that when we're asleep. So I was like, okay, well, this is getting a little bit more severe than I wanted to. And it was affecting mine and my husband's mood. We were fighting a lot more than we normally would have, which I thought was really weird. And it just started to get more and more intense. The more I've tried to cleanse the home and stuff like that, it just seemed like I was pissing whatever was there off.

And so at this point, I'm like, okay, that's kind of bad. And so one morning, another 3 a.m. morning, I end up getting up and going to get a drink of water and I'm pissed that I'm awake. And I go back into the room and my husband's like sitting up in bed. And I'm like, are you okay? And he's just staring. And I have this like vanity at the end of our bed that has a mirror. He's just staring into the mirror. And I'm like, how are you looking at?

I'm looking, and I don't see anything at first, and then I just had this odd feeling that I needed to get my daughter in my bed with us, and she, like, never sleeps with us. So this is really weird that I had this, like, deep gut feeling, I'm like, no, I should pull her in bed. So I get her up, I can get her in bed. My husband's still kind of steering up the mirror. I'm not getting any response out of them, so I'm like, okay, weirdo. and at this point I'm getting Sasha in bed

and then I look at the mirror and I see what he's seeing and at this point it's like as if the mirror kind of lost its like reflectiveness and it's like it was like deep like you could like reach into it

and it's like really deep then all of a sudden I see this figure in the mirror and it was like if it was really really really far away and then all of a sudden it's getting close And then this weird cutrid smell came in the whole bedroom.

It was just smelled like death and sulfur and just like decay and just nasty. And at this point, me and my husband aren't speaking because we're seeing the same thing and we're so shocked. And we don't even know what it is. And then it comes closer and closer. And what I see is nothing but what I could describe is a demon. and it just had these nasty horns and it's like it had like a red base but like this weird red oily slick thing it was just gross and it had this horrible smile just ear to ear just a nasty grin where it just was just pure evil and the stink was just there and at this point i don't even remember falling asleep but we ended up falling asleep as like we're staring at this thing And one thing I remember is like it felt like its gaze was looking towards my daughter.

And then we end up falling asleep. And then the next day, you know, I take my daughter to school and, you know, I try and push it out of my head. I was like, well, maybe that was just a weird, weird dream. And then I talked to my husband after we wake up and do our morning thing, I finally am like, did you see what I saw last night? And I never described what I saw to him, and he described everything that I saw to a T. And then I was like, we're not insane, right?

Like, we can't be crazy. Like, that actually happened. And so after we saw that, Petra is nasty, just so vile of a thing. stuff started to get a lot more violent in the home. One day my husband was going to get to get into a shower, and he ended up getting these horrible, like three horribly deep scratches on his shoulder.

I was like, honey, what did you do? What do you run into? He's in construction. I felt like, oh, he scraped up against the board, or he got cut by a piece of metal. But he's insanely safe, and he's like, I honestly didn't even know that those were there. I just started feeling a burning and then looked and there's three, like, majorly deep scratches.

And I was like, oh, that's not good. And then after a couple weeks after the main scratch and like that thing that was just there, the mood in the house and like it was just a dark house. You could open up all the windows and have all the blinds open. And it was just, it just felt dark. And, you know, you're always excited to come home after a long day of work. we were excited to come home anymore. And it was getting to the point to where it was affecting mine and my husband's marriage to the point to where we were fighting every night after we got home.

But after we got out of the house, we fought fine. And so at this point, I'm like, okay, whatever I'm doing is pissing it off even more. And we can't seem to get rid of this thing. So I am like, well, who do we tell? to like help us. Like if we tell anybody, we're just going to end up seeming like crazy people, you know, and a lot of people that we're around aren't necessarily receptive to the, you know, the possibility of things outside of our natural realm on earth right now. So I was like, oh, I don't know. And so we tell my husband's grandmother and she gets us in contact with

now my current pastor and his wife. And they've supposedly dealt with this kind of stuff. So they come over and they bless the home and every, everything's great for like a day. And then it got seven times worse after that. Like things started flying off the shelves and I got scratched and bruised a couple more times. And then it gets to the point where we're like, I don't know what we're doing. Like we just keep pissing it off and our life's falling apart. And like I can barely keep up with work. And he can't, you know, go to work and say, sorry I'm dealing with the demon in my house. I'm sorry I can't come into work today.

They're not going to accept that. And so it got to the point to where I almost off my job. And my husband's not sleeping very well and he's working construction and it's getting very unsafe for him as well. And so we're like, this isn't working. We should have them come and bless the house again because it felt really good that one day. So we had them come over and try and bless the house again.

And, you know, for me, I would, necessarily believe in any of that. And so I felt like it kind of attached to my disbelief in what we were trying to do to get it out of the home. And then at this point, you know, they come over a second time. It's okay for a day. And then it's just way, way worse. And it's getting to the point where it's really, really affecting our moods. And at this point, I'm really struggling with my faith because I'm like, well, I don't really know what to believe. And I've come up from kind of a shady, not a shady background, but kind of a really messed up background. So I've always was, you know, like, well, if there is a God, why would all this bad stuff happen to me?

He's not real, scrum type attitude, which was not the right attitude to have at this point. And so I'm really struggling. I'm wanting to believe, and I'm my questioning everything. And at this point, I'm just, we're so defeated. We don't know what to do because our whole home life is just, it's crumbled. It's deteriorated. Everyone's fighting. Everyone's pissed off.

No one's getting any sleep at this point. And I have a six-year-old and she's with all of us with this. And it was just sad to see. And so then the pastor that we had contacted, he had told us about the bondage breaker. Do you know what that is? Like, are you familiar with that? No, I'm not. Please tell me.

So what is, it's like a book where it breaks, like it breaks ties with generational sin, with any type of sin that you could have possibly gotten into. and it breaks all of that barriers and ties with that. And it supposedly works for people. And my husband's grandmother had tried to do the bondage breaker book and read through it. And it's like a proclamation of like, you know, I denounce, you know, every sin that I've ever done. And I don't know, it gets more in depth with it. But she had tried to do it at one point.

and she had gotten so choked out that she wasn't able to finish the bondage breaker. So she was still kind of messed up and had things full in her and stuff like that. So me and my husband were like, okay, well, that would be cool to do it with you guys. And then my husband's like, nope, we're doing it now. We printed off like a seven-page prayer on how to break all ties with everything, you know, bad and generational and any type of thing like that. So I was like, okay, are you sure? We're like, we sure you we don't need a pastor and his wife here. and he's like, we're doing it.

I'm so tired of this. We need to do it. And so I was kind of like, I don't think this is going to work. Like, this is probably not going to work. We're probably going to have to deal with this forever type feeling. And so I'm like, well, maybe let's just wait. And there's a different part in my past where I have had, I've been trying to like get past different traumas that happened to my life,

But every time that I would try and do that, I would suffer from stress-induced grand mal seizures, which is like the worst type of seizure you can get where you fall down and you siphon up and you seize really bad and you can bowl. And every time I tried to like kind of get past this stuff, I would end up having these horrible, horrible seizures. I went to a neurologist. I went to like a brain doctor. I went to everyone to try and figure out exactly why I was having. these horrible seizures. And no one could explain anything to me.

They just diagnosed it as stress-induced. And so at this point, it had been a good like seven years since I had one. And then all of a sudden, I dropped down and I seize out really, really bad. And normally when I seize out, I go black. I don't even know that it happened. And I come to it. And I'm like, oh, man, what happened? But this time, I drop and I seize, but I see this, this, that, that

demon thing that we saw in the mirror. And I can feel it's like it's hand or it's grab like on my shoulder just like deep down in the bone. I can feel it grabbing me. And this is completely like completely out of the norm for all my seizures that I have ever had because I'm completely aware in the seizure. I can feel my body going into its contortions and stuff like. that, but I'm seeing this thing, and it's sitting there, and it's smiling. While I'm, like, convulsing,

sorry. And it's just sitting there kind of looking at you, like, I got you. And then after that, I come out of my seizure, and I tell my husband about what happened, and he's like, do you think that's why you've had these seizures for so long? It's because of that thing. Like, it's been following us forever. And, you know, things start to fall in place more and more. you know, that we've had things happen in our past that would be able to open us up to that type of attachment. And so at this point, I'm freaking out. I'm like having a major panic attack and I don't know what's happening because I'm seeing this thing during my seizures. And it's just when we're trying to figure out a way to like get rid of it.

So at this point, I'm like, yes, let's do the bondage breaker. That was the worst thing I've ever experienced. We needed to get this thing out of our home. And so we end up doing the bondage breaker. And I kid you not, there was like this light, this big, bright light. Go through our home from the front all the way to the back, kind of like a scanner. And then all of a sudden the house gets light. You can feel, you can breathe, like you don't feel that dark oppressive, just gross that it accompanied with it.

You know, that smell that would kind of wander around the house was gone. And at that point, I'm like, I believe in God. Right there, right then, seeing that light move through our home and passed through us, I was like, there's no way that that's not real. I'm like, if this demon thing is real, there's got to be a light to it. And we physically felt and saw that light. And at this point, my faith is affirmed. I'm like, I believe it.

We start going to church on a regular basis and end up getting married, like, because we had been together forever and, you know, living, you know, unmarried with a child and a home together, which wasn't necessarily what a lot of the family, you know, thought was a good idea. So we're like, well, let's do this right. Let's go about this the right way. And then we attended church ever since the corona thing started happening. And then things have been better.

But it got so severe and so scary during that seizure that after that seizure, I could see in different places where I'd go clean if there was a dark thump in there. Or people would come up and I would just get that bone chills. Like I felt when that thing was bad. basically inside of me what it felt like. And I can start seeing these dark things around people if they end up having something weird attached to them. Like, it's hard for me to go to different places now.

If there's, like, some really dark, heavy stuff, I have to end up canceling my job because I just can't handle it. So, and so after that light, it just, things have gotten better. But every now and then, I'll wake up exactly at like 3 o'clock and I'll look outside my window and I'll see like three dark beings like in my yard or like by my truck

and stuff like that. So things have gotten insanely weirder but they have calms down a lot than sweet did that bonnage breaker which was insane. So you see three dark beings out in your yard from time to time? Yeah, it's like they're just like hanging out, but they never come in the home after we did that. So, yeah.

Did you ever see those three dark beings in the home together? Yeah. You did. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's a couple times where, you know, it'd be that shadow and it'd be like a cluster of them. It'd be like, they'd be like, like, foo, foo, foo, and, you know, my cat would go chase them or my daughter would see them and go look and stuff like that. and there was never a time where, like, if they were just boom there, but when I look outside after I wake up at 3 a.m.,

they're, like, right at, like, my property line, and they're, like, looking in. That's what it feels like. So you can feel someone staring holes in, like, the back of your head. So when you see these shadow figures out in the yard, are they standing next to each other, single file line? Do they look identical? There is, like, one big one in the middle, and then, like, two on the side.

So you get the sense that they're not the same thing, but it's three separate entities. Yeah. Yeah. And then I don't know what that demon thing that we saw in that mirror and then with my seizures, I'd never, ever had experienced anything like that. Well, I wonder if that demon thing in the mirror has something to do with those shadow figures. Now, the demon thing that was in the mirror, you said that's what you saw when you were having a seizure, right? Yep.

It was the same thing, the same nasty, ear-to-ear grin, just kind of like a, I got-you type of look. It's not something I ever want to see again, for sure. Wow. Yeah, so you mentioned about that and how you went through the seizure and you saw this face, you come out of it. And I forget how you worded it, but I think is either you or your husband mentioned about how, you know, do you think that this is the thing that's been causing the seizures and it's been, you know, having for a while? You kind of mentioned about how you had some stuff in your past and stuff that might have caused this. Are you comfortable sharing any of that?

Yeah, yeah. I was really young. I had a horrible father. And he sexually abused me from ages like 4 to 11. It was just consistent. And so just kind of like that dark stuff, I'd never really worked through it in my adult life. and once I started to go to counseling and stuff and try and work through that, my seizures would kick in, like, instantly.

When I'm, like, at one point, it happened while I was, like, in a counselor session, and I had it right there in front of my counselor. And so every time I try and bring that up and try and work through that trauma, these seizures would happen. And I was like, yep, I'm good. I'm not going to work through this. I'll just shove it back down, fine, live my life. And I'll continue.

And, you know, my husband was like, no, we need to figure out what's going on with your brain because your brain's shortened out. But every time I went to the neurologist or a brain doctor or anybody, they could not tell me what was going on with my brain. I don't have epilepsy. I don't have anything yet. They just said stress-induced grandmal seizures. And I'm like, sweet. I guess you still don't know what the heck's going on, but that's fine. and you know and then I started doing some more research and I know back like way back in like ancient

er times or like old times you know when someone would have a seizure they would think that a demon was seizing their soul and I was like this is a little bit too close to home I'm not going to look up this stuff anymore I'm just going to try and forget it you know and at this point, I had also been working with my pastor's wife in counseling to try and get through these things that ended up happening really horrible stuff that happened in my life. And I hadn't had any seizure, so I was thinking, okay, well, I'm in a good place. I'm in the church doing counseling, you know, this is really good. And then all of a sudden that last one happened, and it just, it floored me.

It really did. Oh, yeah. You know, have you ever thought about this entity that was, you know, tormenting you during that seizure and that you saw in the mirror? The idea of it being around for a long time, do you think that this thing could have been something that was attached to your dad? Oh, yeah. Because I definitely feel that. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like to me almost that, like, it was attached to your dad and, and, you know,

uh, therefore it was attached to you. And it's, it's very, this stuff is very complicated. It's very complicated. It is. It is.

And that's one thing I've learned is that, you know, don't ever think that you have the right answer to the quick fix answer because, uh, you know, it just, as soon as you think you got figured out, it,

it, it throws curveballs. Um, man. I'm sorry that you went through that as a kid. I, a lot of, I know there's a lot of people that go through that kind of stuff and they deal with, they deal with stuff later in life that, you know, sometimes have the paranormal edge to it. And do you ever think that maybe, if it wasn't for this entity being attached to your dad,

that your dad wouldn't have been like that? Or do you think he would have been like that either way? I kind of feel like he would have been like that either way. He kind of had a checkered past as well. He was adopted out of Guatemala and brought into a very nasty family. There was a warlord who that ended up taking him after kind of a weird thing. My mom's family adopted him originally, and then he got separated from the family. And then they got with my mom.

I don't know. It's kind of a weird thing. But he had a very good as well. So I feel like if anything like that happened to him So he didn't quite know how to do it So he just kind of did it with me as well And you know I felt like that Opened me up quite a bit

And then in my young adult life And like kind of like my teen years I wasn't handling whatever happened really well So I turned to like drugs and drinking And ended up Getting involved with like heroin and stuff like that And it ended up really bad And then you know doing my research

after this thing's happening and I've got cleaned up from all of that. Everything that I did in my past basically opened up for, you know, for things to attach as well. And I just was like, oh, man, this is just kind of like a hot bed of crap, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, and it's been weird. It's been, it's been a lot of, you know, trying to find myself and trying to fix myself to not necessarily fix myself,

but, you know, process things. to where I'm not seasoned out or having things happen. I have been able to do counseling and stuff since that last seizure happened. And that light came through our home in ourselves. And we haven't really had, I haven't had a seizure since then. So it's been awesome for me. That's great. That's really great.

And, you know, it makes me feel like maybe this was something that had been in the generational family kind of thing. I do too. You mentioned about, you know, generational curses. Well, this can be an aspect of that, I believe. And, you know, you pursuing a different spiritual path seems like it put a barrier between you and it or those things. Do you think that what you saw in the mirror and what you saw, you know, choking you out kind of thing, do you think that that entity is related or the same thing as the ones you see

out in the yard, or do you think there are two different categories, two different things going on there? Me personally, I think the thing that we saw is its own self, like its own thing. And I think whatever is outside is just kind of poking at us and being like, you guys messed up yet? Do you guys not believe in God anymore type thing to see if they can get away in? Weird thing is, is that with my husband's family as well, I definitely believe that there's generational sin. My husband's grandmother, or my husband's grandmother, yeah, there it is. She dabbled in the occult. She was telling me about how they used to make like tables levitate and stuff in like grade school. And she kind of gotten to some really shady stuff too. So there's a lot of stuff following my

husband as well. And the weird thing is, is that we saw this thing and like, I know this feeling of this thing. I feel it in my bones whenever I'm like out. It's honestly affecting more parts of our family than just us. It seems like it's like hopping from us to like his grandma to his mom and all types of stuff. It's, it's been really, really weird to now have that, well, I don't know, I guess the ability to be able to feel those really dark, nasty things a lot more sensitively than I ever could before, you know, and it kind of shows up to where my husband's grandmother was telling me how she was, this lady is like 73 years old, but she's telling me about how she was taking shots with this one guy who's, you know, severely kind of

mentally not there and it's kind of bad, about how his face, when they were taking shots, turned into that demon thing, like it morphed into this demon thing that we had seen. And God knows why she still hangs out with a man, but she, her life's kind of taken a really crazy turn. It's kind of falling apart after she said that she saw this thing. So it's really weird to see. It's weird to see how many fingers it actually has in everything, and it's everywhere. Dark shadows are in almost every apartment building I've ever been in. Like, it's weird.

It's definitely weird to see. It's really, really, it kind of opens up your eyes. It's weird. Oh, yeah. I mean, so with what you just said here, that dark shadows seem to be everywhere, is that like dark shadows seem to be following you everywhere? Are you kind of sensing them everywhere? I'm kind of sensing them everywhere.

But they're like, you know, I could be, da-da-da, having a good day, you know, whatever. And I go into a certain apartment building and you just kind of feel the dark. and the ick in there. It's certain places. It's like in the druggy, really bad druggy areas in our town. And, you know, actually the other day,

I was at a really nice part of town. And I was in this really, really nice apartment. But like the one unit I went into, like I said, like with my house, it was just like dark, no matter how much light you turned on or how much, you know,

how open the windows you got is just kind of dark. So it's just there. I personally don't feel anything attached to me anymore. It's just out there. It's everywhere. It's freaky to think about. Yeah, I mean, I guess it can be a little freaky to think about when you first start, you know, realizing the reality of what you live in. Right.

Because, I mean, it sounds like for the majority of your life, you really didn't consider the fact that this kind of stuff could be so frequently real in somebody's life. Is that correct? No. Right. That's exactly right. And you know, I believe in ghosts and stuff. I was always into like the ghost shows and stuff when I was little and I always tried to like freak myself out. But not to the extent that we had dealt with before.

It was just kind of crazy. I see. Yeah. I don't know. So, uh, you mentioned, you mentioned about grandma. Was that your grandma or his grandma? It's my husband's grandmother. Okay.

And so, uh, she, she, she, dabbled in the occult, and how long ago was that? Oh, I want to say she was, like, in her mid-teenths to early 20s, and then I honestly don't know what that woman does while I closed doors. To this day? She's a little crazy. Grandma be crazy. Grandma be crazy.

She is. I was like, what, you know, what a 73-year-old lady, you know, is just taking shots in the backyard and smoking pot and stuff like that? It's just she's out there for sure. That's funny. That's really funny. You know, it sounds like there's a lot of different angles to go with this. It sounds like there's a lot.

There is. We have racked our brains so many times of where it could have stemmed from. And I was like, I felt like I had my dark stuff from when I was little. My husband's had his dark stuff and he was little because he's had a not-so-great childhood either. You know, his parents were into drugs really severely and wouldn't take care of. of them to the way they should be. And my husband would end up acting out as a kid and they'd just send them to Jubey and send him to jail and stuff like that. It's just horrible on their end too. So he was like, well, it could have came from grandma. It should it came from your dad.

I was like, it could have just came from us because we've done a lot to where we've opened ourselves for that type of attachment too. We've wrecked our brains so many times on what angle it could have came from. All we just know that it happened. And my husband doesn't like to think about it and he doesn't like bringing it up and me I'm like hey I just saw this crazy dark thing at this apartment and he's like I don't want to hear about it and I'm like yeah but I need to talk about it and he's like we're good and I'm like okay well still it's happening and he's like I just don't want to think about it okay well you experienced it too so so so these experiences all started popping up after you started listening to this show

Am I correct in saying that? Yes, you are, but really it's where I was shifting my ideas of whether God and the whole Jesus thing could be real. Because on your show, there were so many accountable people say, you know, they were being Jesus' name and everything stops from, you know, from entities to UFOs. And I was like, really thinking, I'm like, there's got to be some freaking validity to that. How is there not? There's over, like, he had over 200 episodes plus. of all these people saying that this worked. And I'm like, how can this not be real?

And I was really questioning everything. And then that's when everything really started to pop off. Yeah, it seems like... It wasn't your show exactly, but it was the content on your show that was making me think, dang, this is different. This must be real. How can this not be real? You know?

Yeah. It seems like when people start pursuing different lines of thought on a spiritual level and start considering things that they maybe never considered before, for, it seems like that can be a trigger for paranormal activity to start kicking up because it just shows the validity to the idea that this is a supernatural realm that we live in and we are supernatural beings and there are other dimensions with other supernatural entities within them. And not all the entities in these other realms are on our side. And so when you start switching teams, somebody's going to have a problem with that.

Exactly. That's exactly what I was thinking. and I'm like, okay, I'm leading more towards this side. And, you know, honestly, my whole growing up and my whole teen years up until I had my daughter, I was just a bad kid doing every bad thing you could possibly think of, like, stealing and doing drugs and, you know, writing around without a license and just being kind of like a little shithead, honestly. And, you know, I do believe a lot of that was influenced by whatever was kind of just tailing around us, you know, like putting these little thoughts, you know, stay in the area type thing. And the moment I started rethinking things, it's just, that's when everything popped off.

And they didn't like it. They're like, no, no, we got you. You're not going to God. And I'm like, no, I'm going. And it just started going crazy. So, yeah, it's nice to be able to laugh about it now. But it was definitely intense. And my husband tends to forget about it every now and then.

But I just can't. it's so burned into my brain that that happened and that was real and that actually happened. My husband is like, oh, sometimes I forget that that actually happened. I'm like, how can you forget? Like, are you serious? Like, how can you forget that this was a thing? He's like, oh, I want to just push it out of my mind. But, you know, after physically feeling like the grab and just the insideness that it had when I was having my seizures,

I felt like it was just, I can feel things to the bone now and I just can't forget that, which is weird. Yeah, well, I think it's more weird that he forgets that kind of stuff happened at some point. You know, it's like, how can you forget that? Yeah, I know. He's a good pusher. He likes to push bad steps out and just focus on the good. So I value him for that because sometimes I get caught up in the baddest stuff and he's more of the

optimist than I am. So it's a good balance. Oh, for sure. For sure. You need that balance in life, for sure. So, Taylor, I really appreciate you sharing this experience and stuff. And, you know, I think it's kind of cool how it kind of all turned out for you. I mean, you stumble across the confessionals. You start considering different ideas and thoughts on life and life paths,

kicks up paranormal activity in your life. You get attacked. You retreat to God. You find a peace there. And in the process, you wind up getting married. So is it safe to say the confessionals caused its first marriage? Yes, actually, yes. I will definitely attribute that to that because my husband had been together for like 10 years.

We never gotten married. I'm like, what's the deal? Why haven't we? And then, you know, after everything kind of came to light, my husband's like, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know why I haven't married you. Let's go get married. And we had this amazing little ceremony at our church now.

and it was an elopement. We did it on Christmas Eve, and it was just, it was perfect. So, yes, the confessionals is definitely responsible for my marriage. That's so funny. That's so funny. Mark the tape on this one because this is a historic moment. Yes, it is.

In fact, shoot me your mailing address, and we'll have a couple T-shirts sent out to you guys as a wedding gift. Awesome. Yes, I will definitely email you. That's awesome. Thank you. Certainly. you for sharing that story. I think that's pretty cool. In fact, you're number one,

That doesn't count on the tally. That does not count on the tally. No, definitely not.

There's a monster under my bed and at my window there's a dragon. I accepted the challenge and turned me into a savage. I broke a promise to myself again. I don't know why I am so vulnerable They try to help but I won't let them in I guess rock bottoms where I'm in it when most people That's within There's a creature in my closet I can hear him rumbling around the distance

Create such a humbling sound Say it's no But I'm hated so My religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast in that I made it grow When I spray this flow Creatures are like when I heat up the mic I'm a breed of the night but I'm saying it though By the darkness I'm bind it

A spark did and shine did they find it But that they label me a demon seed One that is able need to see them bleed Handing me fatally and see them grieve no You would not believe the creature inside me If you deceive Khalifa's alively We disagree when people defy me I'm trying to take years

Whatever the f***om you don't want to wake this You forsake his with a sacred then it's over No matter what you'll live. Wait this, I'm a creature. There's a creature in my closet. I can hear him rumbling around. The demon screaming in the distance creates such a humbling sound.

The monster... To give myself in trouble all of this pain. Yeah, I'm damning a double dose of liquor's always the blame. If I could keep myself sober, I keep my hands to myself. I take a shot in this over, and that's how I end up in hell.

I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring To get everything from their daddy Feel like I'm addicted to all there There's no reason to change Going too far now But I'm stuck in my ways back at the bar now They say I'm a further in there right I ain't perfect I

So when I'm thirsty and purging And purposely searching for something that's hurting me so I just can pack up and go I just back out of it slow That's how I would go I got the back out of the hole What next like I don't know I think he'd be laughing at me

Hands me grabbing at me Feel like God let it happen Until me dabby blashing me And these be a dabby dash really Okay Let it go Even better I gotta let it know And I can't do that

There's a creature in my closet I can hear him rumbling around The demon screaming in the distance Create such a humbling sound The monster that's Deep down
