My Grandfather passed away when i was eight years old ever since then I've taken it upon myself to kinda watch out for my grandmother. This being said my encounter with this red eyed thing happend the night my grandpa passed away.

I absolutely refused to leave my grandma alone that night. my parents were trying to drag me into the car to leave but i was not going anywhere. because for some reason i just had a feeling that my grandma needed me that night. so needless to say i got my way. After everyone left, my grandma fell asleep in the recliner and me being the steady eight year old watch dog that i was, wouldn't leave her side so i bedded down on the couch for the night.

Now most people would think that I'm making this up because no way would an eight year old kid remember minute details about something that happend but I did. I was never an ordinary kid. i preferred the company of adults to children, because kids simply got on my nerves. I was asleep when all of a sudden i just got a shiver down my body and woke up. my grandma had a digital clock on the table and i remember it being 3:07 am. I wrapped my blanket around me and tried to go back to sleep but i couldn't because i just kept feeling like i was being watched. I rolled over and looked at the kitchen closed my eyes then something in the back of my mind told me to look again. Standing on the kitchen table was this huge black figure with glowing red eyes. I was so scared i couldn't move i couldn't scream i just layed there with tears rolling down my face. It just stared at me for the longest time then it disapeared. I still to this day do not know what it was but it scared the life out of me then and it still does now.
