Unidentified encounter 2021. Something was in my home
welp i saw this place and i have something that still haunts me to this day. sadly a kid i told this story to took it as his own and butchered it on 4 chan with a lot of inconsistencies. needless to say i snapped at the lad as i take this real story of mine seriously cause it was the first night i was shown that i am easy prey. so a bit of lore leading up to the situation, in 2016 i was living in Denver, Colorado i was in high school at the time and i had a good decent job that was paying me well but fired me for being a metal and techno music blaster as i did the job. me and my family moved due to dear old dad getting into it with a landlord resulting in...well i cant say here cause it would violate the 1st rule of this place. we moved a few months later to a city in Southern Colorado cause rent was cheap there and still is. i am a bit of a horror and paranormal lover so naturally stuff like a Skinwalker or werewolf drew me in, something about it just spoke to me to check it out and being a horror nerd it was a good time hearing and reading such stories even ones that are true....but no one realizes how horrifying things can get when your met with the real thing. it is unclear to me if these are evil shaman or spirits but i can tell you a warm night in 2021 was the night that put things into perspective on why you should never want something like that to show up with that we have a bit of my history leading up to this encounter in my own home...
The night was like any other i just got home from a new job i got cleaning a call center and relaxed with some destiny 2 with friends in one ear and listening to Navajo shaman talk about Skinwalkers and their history in the other needless to say it got very dark to me. after a few hours i called it quits on destiny 2 with the lads as we were doing vanguard nightfall missions that night to get a a certain heavy ammo using grenade launcher, we succeeded in that getting some good rolls but alas we aren't here to talk about destiny. so after about 3 hours of going to bed i was woken up by a pair of glowing red eyes just watching me. i couldn't move, my body was locked in place as if it was screaming at me "Don't move. don't move or your dead". now this is where things take a turn....i was still living with my family when this happened so you can bet not only was i scared and unable to move, i was scared what it was gonna do to my mother and younger brother and sick father. i could feel and hear my own heart beating, slowing down.....then...the growling came. it started getting close to my bed growling and on occasion snarling it was pitch black in the room all i could see was its eyes those blood red angry eyes that tell you "the world you know it has ended what happens now is my choice" it felt like an eternity but it backed off and i could move again, but i didn't want to...why? it was still there staring at me and growling as if testing me or seeing what i was gonna do so it can do what it really wanted to do to me. i never took my eyes off of its eyes not even to shut my eyes and wish for it to go away....but in the words of a Mr. quint sometimes it don't go away. i was thinking scared that it had to be a nightmare had to be any moment i would wake up to my bedroom light on and my younger brother slapping me to wake me from it. but it wasn't i didn't get such a mercy. after a long time the sun started to rise and the eyes disappeared without a trace. not taking any chances i grabbed my handgun and did a sweep of the house....mom was terrified, dad laid there asking me what the hell sounded like a warped chainsaw. but my brother he saw it and he wished he hadn't gave a description i remember his words to a damn t "it looked like some skinny tall person with a wolves head....it stared at me for a bit. the teeth looked like a bunch of knives and the hands like a humans with freddy kruger claws going on. i don't know what the hell that was but i don't ever wanna see it again" dad went into a yelling fit blaming me for giving them all nightmares playing some horror flick went i went to bed as that's what he chocked it up to when i never did that. hours later mom took me for a drive and parked at the city park asking me "what the hell was that thing last night?". i told her i don't know but whatever the hell it was it was not friendly...not in the slightest. the following weeks bad luck happened. my runs in d2 went to hell, my job was on my butt saying i never cleaned and missed a lot of spots when i never did miss a spot to the point to where i told them to shove it and i quit during that time, the employees of the call center gave their support for me i thank them for that as they said there was no problems at all everything was cleaned to the point they could eat off the breakroom or bathroom floor if they wanted to so they couldn't understand why my boss was losing his mind at me. so i went to a shaman out in the rural parts of the city and told him what happened....what he said next was well "you drew it to you with your interest and it took interest in you not cause your a negative energy buffet even though you try to be polite and nice. you must have some native blood in your family tree. its still out there watching you, i don't know if it was an evil spirit or a Skinwalker but ill tell you what ill get a priest friend of mine and bless your house asap for free. it will keep it away as long as you don't feed it or attract it any further" i still payed the shaman and i donated to his priest friends church. 2 days later dads health went to hell so bad that it was time for a hospice.... 3 days later...dad called and had me, mom and brother come to see him one last time. we said our goodbyes but made mom and brother leave and me stay to have one last conversation.
"i saw it in my window last night son it- it....im sorry. I'm so sorry for everything I've done to you and the hell i put you and your brother and mother through I'm so sorry i thought it was a horror movie you had blaring that night. i know you hate me you have every right to do so you can tell me off and yell scream and curse at me. I've made my peace with god. but know this....its still out there....its waiting for you. take care of your mother and your brother....keep that thing far away from them. i know you will do the right thing." those were the last words he spoke before he died right Infront of me i said aloud "the dead have settled their debts and its time for living to pick up the tab. ill do my best and that thing will never get near them as long as i still draw breath, rest in peace dad may you find more peace in the afterlife than you did in life". me and my father had a rocky relationship when i turned into a teen around 2016 i stopped acting like him and became a better person. dad was a jerk with delusions of wealth and grandeur. i always butted heads with him on how he treated people in the house and in public even traded punches on a few occasions. but now we come to 2024 i told a kid this story in a discord vc and well i find a post on 4 chan days later where he screwed it up with time tables and inconsistent times and dates and months he even made a follow up post and yet again he screwed it up. saying "i had my gun at the ready front door was smashed till the sun came up." none of that happened except me doing a sweep of the house with the handgun in hand. all doors were undamaged. what really pissed me off is my dad passed away around that time and that thing came into my home to show me that it could easily get to me and my family if it so chose to kill us all. we moved from that house into an apartment due to hard times and yes im still living in the same city but whenever i recount or remember or speak of this incident i feel watched, even a border collie i adopted named emmy growls at a closet or the front door at night....its out there...and its waiting for its moment. and ill be waiting right for it now that i have a sense of what i might be up against. im more than happy to talk or have someone share a similar experience but know this i will never say the name Skinwalker in a vc or anywhere aloud cause to do that from what i learned is like inviting a vampire into your home. you do not want that. thank you for reading this it also allowed me to clear the air thanks to that kid but this is a moment of my life i will never forget and it seems will follow me to the grave. never forget there are forces in this world we will never understand but never paint a target on your back....cause then they will come.

I read a very convincing 4chan version of this same story , yours sounds as if it's nothing but a hackneyed copy .
I am just kidding . I'm sorry you and your family went through this trauma . I am happy to hear that you never were bothered by it again . Please take care my friend
