It was back <strong>in</strong> 2003 when I was home alone with my mum<br />
(Background: my mum is a staunch catholic that is extremely<br />
faithful to her religion.)<br />
My dad wasn't home because he was work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> graveyard shift<br />
and I was about to fall asleep <strong>in</strong> my room.<br />
It was between 10-11PM when I heard loud knock<strong>in</strong>g from my<br />
mum's room as if she were bang<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> wall or her door. I<br />
got up to <strong>in</strong>vestigate, wander<strong>in</strong>g cautiously towards <strong>the</strong><br />
source of <strong>the</strong> sound.<br />
I caught sight of my mo<strong>the</strong>r. She seemed to be pray<strong>in</strong>g and was<br />
hold<strong>in</strong>g onto her cross but she was laugh<strong>in</strong>g and cry<strong>in</strong>g at <strong>the</strong><br />
same time. I tried speak<strong>in</strong>g to her but, she didn't respond to<br />
me at all.<br />
The next moment, she turned to me and stared directly <strong>in</strong>to my<br />
soul and <strong>in</strong> a deep voice said "I see <strong>the</strong> face of a devil<br />
fly<strong>in</strong>g around this room". She started us<strong>in</strong>g a pillow to hit<br />
an imag<strong>in</strong>ary target surround<strong>in</strong>g her. At this po<strong>in</strong>t I started<br />
panick<strong>in</strong>g and I was <strong>in</strong> absolute shock. She never acted this<br />
way before, and her voice was def<strong>in</strong>itely not her own. I ran<br />
to my telephone (landl<strong>in</strong>e) <strong>in</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r room and started to<br />
call my dad, but to no avail.<br />
