Hell in My Room

I was about 11 years old, and my family and I lived in a trailer. I would see dark shadowy figures peeking out of the bathroom, in my room, and feel my bed shake at times. It would get scary enough to where I would move into another room and eventually fall asleep. My mother would scold me for not sleeping in my room and tell me it was in my head.

Well, one night we had moved the bed against a wall to help me feel more secure. I was awaken by violent movement of my bed and saw the bathroom door swing open. There stood a figure engulfed in flames with no face. It's body was red like burning ambers and it walked like as if it had knobbed knees.

Then it all of a sudden made a quick reaching movement toward me. I felt a burning pain in my shoulder and neck where it grabbed me. I don't know if I passed out or what happened, but my mother was standing at the door with lights on and a frightful look on her face as well.

Since my room now looked like a miniature earthquake had hit it. Even still, 14 years laters I will sometimes wake up with pain in my neck and shoulder.
