3 True USA Horror Stories - [Delaware, Nebraska, North Dakota] Part 3

 

I reached the front door which was still open but something made me stop I can't describe the feeling but I knew I had to turn & look over my right shoulder fasted Into the living room behind me I trusted my Instinct & turned my head sat there In an old familiar armchair was an old familiar man catch you next time cowboy he said to me raising two fingers to his head a strange feeling came over me not fear warmth I'd recognize that face anyway I gave decks a smile & raised my two fingers out of respect I then walked out the front door & closed It behind me I looked out onto their driveway Texas old car was nowhere to be seen nothing seemed out of place or old-fashioned everything was as It should be back to normal back like It was In my time I continued on with the rest of my deliveries for the day I've made many deliveries to Marie since then & nothing else weird has ever happened to me at that house I decided not to tell her about the Incident fearing that she'd think I was making fun of her or Insulting Texas memory In some way I've told my wife & friends about It they all called me crazy so I'm sharing my story here does anyone have any Ideas about what this could have been I've been racking my head for months now & still can't think of a rational explanation did I experience a time warp a brain spasm some sort of glitch 

In the matrix I have no Idea but I was completely lucid didn’t have anything weird In my system & saw & heard everything a plain as day I don't know what to make of all of this but I will say tax It was good to see you again cowboy there's a curse In my family that's persisted for the past four generations to be honest the thought of It keeps me up at night sometimes as I know pretty soon & It's going to start affecting me too back In the day two men went on to native land In standing rock north Dakota & did a spot of grave rubbing one of those men was my great granddad by all accounts not a nice guy neither was his body he went with my ancestor was 31 at the time he did this despicable thing I don't know If he dug up one person or multiple but his get-rich-quick scheme came with some serious consequences as the story goes about a week after he started complaining about a visitor he told all his friends about this dark shadowy figure that would follow him wherever he went sometimes he'd be sitting with his buddies & all of a sudden he'd go Into a terrified frenzy screaming about the shadow man outside the window nobody else ever seemed to see It they figured he'd just lost his mind he lived the rest of his days as an outcast disowned by everyone who once loved him can't say 

I feel sorry for the guy after what he did unfortunately the consequences of his actions have passed down the family line you see whenever any male In my family turns 31 years old & I mean right on their 31st birthday they all start complaining about seeing the same shadowy creature they describe It as the black outline of a man but with no facial or bodily features just a black void In human form what they all say It does have are two piercing red eyes no mouth no nose no hair & just two red eyes that seem to stare straight through you It happened to my granddad his brothers my father & my uncles they all suffered with visitations my father still does sometimes the figure comes once a week sometimes multiple times a day there's no real pattern to the visitations according to all of them 

It just appears out of the blue at any time In any place at any distance It's horrible red eyes looking right at you It could be standing In the middle of a crowd or alone In an empty field while you're out for a walk you could move several states away & you'd still see the damn thing looking at you through a window It drove my grandfather Insane he lost his mind In his fifties two of his brothers ended their own lives citing the visitor as the main reason his last brother ended up moving away & cutting all contact with us don't know what happened to him In the end one of my uncles too has gone mad from paranoia lost his family his career everything he knew It was coming when he turned 31 but that didn’t help him prepare my other uncle jumped from a suspension bridge said he'd had enough of the red-eyed man without exception they all suffered from Insomnia the thing apparently came a lot more at nighttime would stand at the foot of their beds for hours on end my father luckily Is still with us

 
I don't remember much of what he was like when I was a kid but my mother tells me he hasn't been the same since he turned 31 back when he started complaining about the shadowy visitor he's a real quiet guy now never says much & always seems to be on edge I'm a male at the time of writing this I'm 29 years old my brother Is 27. as far as we know there's nothing we can do to buy ourselves more time we've chatted to a native elder about the situation he gave us two small charms that he had to keep with us at all times to ward off bad spirits I hope they keep the thing away from us or at the very least buy us a little more time.
