It was July 15, 1988 – my 8th birthday, I was at church camp, which always landed on my birthday every year, so most of my birthdays where spent at camp. Evening service just ended and following right after was a birthday party for me at the mess hall, I was excited! Which came naturally, and ran out of the church building to go to the mess hall, which was not too far from the church and noticed my mom talking to a few of her friends.
I ran up to them all excited about my party. I tried to talk to my mom but she was preoccupied and quickly told me to be quiet, so this depressed me a little, it was already close to being completely dark and I didn’t want to go to the mess hall alone because I’m horribly afraid of the dark so I asked me sisters to go with me, but they were busy also talking to some of their friends…. this saddened me.
I ran to the mess hall by my self scared, trying to run as fast as I could. When I got to the door it was open. No one was there except a young boy which I had never seen before! He was gorgeous! Glowing like a light! It was all around him. He had normal street clothes on… His hair was blonde and he had a white sparkling smile that glowed.
I stood at the door in awe! because he was so beautiful, I was embarrassed that he was actually looking at me because I was shy around boys. He looked a little older then me but not by much, he spoke to me and said hi Cortney my name is Eric. I was shocked because I didn’t know how he could know my name! He said I’ve been waiting for you, I smelled this alluring smell that is hard to describe, it was a sweet, seducing and it kind of gave me a panicky feeling like I wanted to be near him, then all of a sudden I was immediately sitting next to him. I didn’t walk over, I was just magically there next to him with no reason how it happened. I was in total shock and was thinking to my self how did that happen?
He spoke to me telepathically and said its ok don’t be afraid, that startled me even more! He started to talk audibly. He told me I was supposed to come with him and that I was created for him that I was meant to be with him (mind you the rest of what he says to me is what I always wanted a guy to say and other things I’ve always wanted spiritually in a person etc.) he said that if I go with him I would be beautiful (one of the many things I’ve always wanted because I was teased very badly at school on my looks) he also said that if I go with him I would be rich and have a Victorian house and cars and what ever I wanted.
The material things didn’t mean as much to me as the offer he gave me to be with him plus I loved how he knew so many things about me without me telling him, (I thought for sure he was an angel, because I was taught by my dad who is a minister that Satan or Demons can’t read your thoughts only God and Angels can) he was able to read my conscious and sub conscious thoughts.

Seriously….there’s more to this world then those imposed by science and logic….
Explain how blind people after undergoing near death experiences were able to describe the vicinity they were situated in with perfect clarity and detail. Some of these people were blind from birth
Explain the people dressed in white who appear to help us in times of need
Explain the sightings of ghosts made by countless people
Abductions, ufos, etc…
There’s so much more out there. The problem with people is that they are always thinking ‘down’ here not out there and because of this they are oblivious to what lies beyond rationality and the borders of science or what may one day be science. People are essentially conformists, abiding the conventions of the rat race and never daring to think beyond.
There are more things in Heaven and Earth Horatio than are dreamed of in our wildest imaginations.
The Human brain is probably the MOST supernatural thing out there, however Science is exact where the human mind and humans are flawed, and they lie. When the human mind is in desperation, whether from illness or abnormality, sometimes the synapses that make us what we are mis-fire, leading people to see, hear or feel what can not possibly be.

I respect your input, but science can not explain what has happend to me what i saw felt and heard was real and it happend to others around me and others wirte me and tell me of there experiences as well, we all cant be crazy and see and experience the same things. Like i say to most people you have to experience it your self then you will know these things are real regardless if they seem imossible,
I’m remembering bits and pieces of things from my childhood (and later) too. The one that rang alarms was that person who says “they were created for you. . .”
And I feel for you. It’s hard when no one believes you and you know it’s waiting for you. . .
Whoa this must have been very scary and when your 8 years old
wow that was an interesting storry
this is the the most rediculous story I have ever read.
JadedMage
There are lots of mysterious things and wonders in this world that can’t be explain by science. science is a form of theories made by people after they testing it and claim it’s true after they think that their hypothesis are true. humans are so small in this whole world and before gods.
what you can see only things around you & science. just because you never meets demons or ghost or never hear anything like that, doesn’t mean they are not exist. you just don;t have the ability to sense or see them. and lucky enough to never encounter one.
some people are pretty open minded to know & accepts things that are beyond normal for them & realize that anything is possible to happen and exist because the world god made are so mysterious and we don’t know anything yet, and some people are not open minded as if the world only revolves around them.
sorry. I don’t meant to offend you just to remind you, science are not always about the truth.
some people just don’t like anything that beyond their understanding and always want to seek the answer so they go to science because science seems like have the answers for them.
Cortney
I really appreciate your story a lot. i think you are really strong after all those things happen to you. thanks to God and his guardian Angels that you are still safe and have your soul now.
i send you email about spirits (i’m the same mellisa that sent you email) , only for entertain you and share weird paranormal things in my country.
after read your story i’m thinking about you and your story a lot and that make me realize that actually our world has lot of dangers that we don’t know. it made me give thanks to God that my family are protected by him a lot.
Stay strong and i wish for your safety. i’m sorry that they bother and attack you a lot everyday.
Thank you Melissa for what you wrote, it means allot to me.
Take care and God bless you and your family.
Thanks, God bless you and your family too.
I hope one day your family will believe in you and open their mind about you.
take care. ^__^
take care and be really careful for other dangers await
I guess I don’t know what to believe about this story. I have also been attacked by demons, and spoken to angels. This all happened when I was young, around the age of 7 or 8 and I had the gift of Discerning of Spirits.
I dunno, if I would “see demons” the way you do but I could sense what people were going through without them having to say a word, and God would give me scriptures that would be the most helpful to them. I saw a demon once in the church that looked like a shadow person, while my friend and I were playing hide and go seek upstairs.
Another time, a man came in, seemed like a average man, but I sensed something evil about him. After service, I told him he had no business here (remember, I was like
and he started screaming and cursing and trying to attack me! Then started to scratch himself with his nails. Right in front of everyone. Then his voice started changing, and the pastor, my father and a few other volunteers exorcised him in another room of the church. It took hours….
Afterwards, the man told me he had been that way for months, didn’t know where to turn, and thanked me for seeing through the demon’s human facade…….
(Unfortunatly, as I got older, I got cocky about this Gift, and gave the glory to myself, rather than God, and he took the gift from me….so, while I am still a STRONG believer in God, he has never given that gift back to me, and I understand, that if I can’t deal with it, then it shouldn’t be mine in the first place. anyways, thats another story)
I am still very intuned to people on a spiritual and personal basis, I can still discern dreams and I sense evil and angels from time to time…..
A few months ago, I was attacked by a demon, I heard a roaring sound that scared the living daylights out of me, but the moment I thought Abba Father (which is a way of calling out to God) I was ok. The bible says that once you call out to God he is instantly at your side, the enemy has NO POWER. NONE. ZIP. ZILTCH. NADA, get my point?
So, what I’m trying to say, is that, 1. The bible doesn’t lie. 2. You shouldn’t have any trouble dismissing them in his name. “Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world” You get what I’m saying?
So this leads me to believe, you are either a very good story teller or that you are inviting them in somehow. Remember, the more you dwell on these experiences, the more you think and discuss them, the more power you are giving the enemy, so even though you don’t play with Ouiji boards, you are still opening doors.
Another thing to consider is sleep paralysis, which has similar effects to what people say are “demon attacks” I’ve ruled out some of my experiences as being actual demon encounters because of this.
You basically feel like you are awake, and what ever is in your subconcious (like these demons for example) they will come up. You will not be able to move, because when you are sleeping, your body sort of sets your muscles on lock, so that you will not act out your dreams, however, if you wake up too quickly, your muscles may not have time to catch up. So they are still stiff even though you are awake……its complicated I know, but it explains why God wouldn’t answer, because you are dreaming!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just some food for thought. Take care and God Bless.
Desirae,
I have been told the same things over and over agian that when you say in the name of Jesus Christ, the demon has to leave. well in my situations they didnt, and only rarely did they leave when i told them to leave, im pretty firmiular of what the bible says, but at the same time, i count discount what i went through either. Im not saying the bible isnt true. but allot of the scripitures is revering to a certian individual not the whole, meaning everyone. And the reson i am talking about it here and telling others about it is because God told me to warn others on how the dark side works, He said that Satan is more powerful now then ever before since we are in the last days.
From what i have gone through the demons leave when God makes them leave not on our time, and even though there is ways of opeing up doors to demons, you dont have to open up a door for them to attack you on a daily basis, you see, since demons are everywhere, you cant hide from them completly, God and His angels protect us so much but at times God allows these things to happen. and we are to be gratful for that. I have been attacked by demons my whole life, and i never let them in as people like to call it. If you ask God what im saying is true, He will show it to you.
Im only passing on the information of what i went through as He told me too. I would never in a million years want to make anything up! Im not even a writer, im not into scarey movies or anything of a dark nature always been afraid of it and stayed far away as possible but i was chosen to go through this to warn others and plus God has many other things still in store for me.
Take care and God bless you.
Cortney
Well, earlier you mentioned The Exorcism of Emily Rose, said you could relate to it, so obviously, you are into scary movies.
You do not see anything wrong with that movie? You don’t see that as a way to invite them in? You are dwelling on the things of the enemy, not the things of the Lord and therefore, your practically asking for it. God will not protect those who do such.
The Bible is subject to interpretation, but it DOES NOT COMPROMISE. EVER. It does not make exceptions, and if the Lord says we have power in his name, that doesn’t mean only certain people, it means WE HAVE POWER IN HIS NAME.
Compromising the bible is a typical thing people like to do to make excuses for their sins or to bend it so that it fits their situation. God does not change, His word does not change and neither does the bible. Sorry.
NO man is greater than NO man. God does not play favorites, as I found out the hard way. The minute you start getting this “chosen One” ideology, he’ll pull the rug from beneath your feet. You MUST BE HUMBLE. And showing your stories on a website such as this, is anything but humble.
Like you, I have a relationship with God, I’ve been attending the same church my entire life, I was raised around crazy stuff, and one thing I’ve learned in my life are the ways of God and how the see the truth in people. I’m not saying I’m better than anyone, simply that I’ve learned my lesson, and have dwelt in the spirit of the Lord while I was still in my mother’s womb.
One thing that really gets me mad? People twisting his word. And God does not take it lightly either.
There are serious consequences for people who twist the word of the Lord, and I would not throw out experiences such as these for the entertainment of others (hence, coming on to a website full of Ghost Stories whose’ purpose is to scare people similar to scary movies or roller coasters.) This is also dwelling on the demons that plague you, not good if you don’t want them around.
God will NEVER PUT YOU THROUGH anything you cannot handle, so if you are experiencing the enemy first hand, you are strong and capable enough to experience him.
I don’t mean this to sound harsh, I mean it to inform you to continuously check yourself.
The enemy has MANY MANY MANY ways of manipulating God’s people, especially the ones that are the most holy.
When you call out to God, never do so in fear, but in the knowledge that your God is Great, Powerful and that you are HIS. That, only in his name, will the enemy cease. YOU MUST HAVE FAITH IN YOUR GOD. Do not doubt him. Ever. Know that he will NEVER abandon you, and that if you wish to be free of these demon’s you will be free of them.
If you do not wish to be free of them, you won’t be.
Remember Fear is a spirit of Satan, so if you are constantly feeling fear, again you are sending out an invitation. God has given each of us the power, its up to us to allow him to intervene, to help him to help us to use it. We must have Christ in us. Without that, we’ve nothing.
WOW! i havent seen this page for a while, but there are already a hot debate here. well Desirae,
maybe cortney watch Emily Rose out of curiousity because the girl in that movie must have the same ability with her, so it’s natural for her to watch it although she isnt into scary movie. so just becasue she watch it doesnt mean she’s into scary movie. she might just wanted to see the other girl who might have the same experience with her. it’s a very rare ability and it’s hard to find people with the same ability.
i haven’t watch it. although i’m into scary movies, i dont like demon movies, but i’m curious too. -__-”
To Mellisa-
What “ability” are you talking about?
Desirae,
You have your mind made up about me already and you dont even know me, I was going through my attacks well over two years before i watch exorcism of emily rose, and i only watched it because i saw a preview on it and it showed things that i was going through and since barely anyone understood what i was going through and judged me constantly i watched it only out of sheer desperation, because it was based on a true story and your wrong im not into scary movies at all, but this one i needed to watch and to this day im glad i did, it showed someone so simular to me who never ” let it in” the deons and she still got attacked,
I put my stories on here because it states true in it! and when people come here allot of them want to know the truth from these storeis, if they come for other reasons i cant control that, my intentions was good, i wanted others to know what i went through, plus God told me to warn others, the last thing in the world i wanted to do is talk about demons or satan but after what i went through i had no chose, i dont talk about it unless i have to, as for now,
I have a question for you you said: I would not throw out experiences such as these for the entertainment of others (hence, coming on to a website full of Ghost Stories whose’ purpose is to scare people similar to scary movies or roller coasters.) This is also dwelling on the demons that plague you, not good if you don’t want them around.
That is not why i came here and i already stated why i came here but if that is how you feel about this site then why are you here?
Also i dont claim to be more speical then anyone else, what i went through was and i will admit diffrent from most, but i dont look at my self as special, i am very humbled to the core of what i have been through and and so thankful to this day what God has pulled me out of, Im not trying to change anything out of the bible, all i know is that what i exprienced from the demons they didnt go away immediatly when i told the to in the name of Jesus Christ!!! They left when God made the leave on His time, and I would never ever want them to be around me, to be attacked by a demon is so horrible and undescribable in human terms, God undrstands my situations i know that most humans dont, and if i didnt go through it my self i would be as just as judgmental as you are right now, so im glad that i have changed on how i judge people. We dont have pure knowledge to judge, the lord said to judge rightously but none of us are rightous compared to the all knowing God who understands everthing about you.
Ill except that you dont beleive me thats fine and your chose, but please stop bashing me! and making accusations as if you know me cause you dont!
I say this out of love and wish the best for you, take care and God bless.
Desirae,
of course ability to see demons or feel demonic presents like cortney. it’s different one from the usual paranormal ability to see spirits & entity. it’s the same like the ability to see angels, only a few people are blessed enough to see angels. just because someone is a physics doesnt mean he/she can see angel, feel their presence or even talk to them. well, i’m not a native english speaker & dont know much about this, so i don’t know how to explain it well. ^^ i think cortney might have a better way to explain it.
Cortney,
I always want to ask you but i always forget it, do you can see angels or feel them as well?? i’m just curious. i dont know much when it comes to this kind of ability and i want to know how much you see.
Mellisa,
I have never seen a Angel but i have felt the holy spirit allot at times and many diffrent levels and degrees, there were a few times i have felt invisable arms wraped around me the arms had a burning sensation, i could not stand and felt God’s presence very strongly, it could be Jesus or angles not sure but i do know it was God’s holy presence around me! Almost everyday i can feel spirits pass through me, some good and some bad, they usually dont stay in me just pass through me! My prayer before i die is to see a angel in the full form, Ive seen so many demons i dont want to ever see one again.
My abilities that God gave me are so diffrent from time to time, i can have dreams that come true, i can see visons in my haed, i can hear thoughts at times, i can everyday feel invisible presence around me and touch me. like for example on my arm or on my head. I have no control of these things and dont try to manipulate them at all for my own personal use, its to help others in any way i can.
I have been around others who have more then the 5 senses like my self and for some reason i can make there powers more stronger, its happend more then 10 times in many diffrent situations, its like i help them become stronger and i dont know why? I give all the credit to God for this, I have no power on my own.
To God be the glory im just a helper for the Lord.
God bless Mellisa.
To Melissa,
Seeing Demons is not an “ability” and definatly not a psychic one at that. Its a God given blessing, a GOD GIVEN one. Calling it an ability makes it sound like a super power or something, God can give it to anyone he chooses and can just as easily take it away. Like many of the other Gifts of the Spirits, it is given to glorify or serve God, its not about the person who has it, its more about how God will use it to move in other people’s lives. And the moment that vessel lets it get to their head, believe you me, God will not be pleased.
Cortney,
You are right. I don’t know you. But I do know God. And I do know the Bible, I’ve known it my entire life.
I know people. God gave me the gift to discern spirits, remember? I can see through people, their true intentions as easily as one sees night and day. And I know that people like to glorify themselves over God and like to ridicule or manipulate a Belief (Christianity is not a Religion) they do not fully understand.
How you are really feeling? Thats between you and God. Like I said, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but for someone who is “used to it” you are taking this quit personally.
Clearly my words are falling on deaf ears, and you will continue your ways despite my warnings. I am wasting my time. So I’ll cut to the chase, and the risk of sounding redundant,
There are serious consequences for people who twist the word of the Lord, who throw out things that should be holy, sacred (your gift is holy, don’t know if you knew that) and should never be bragged about or used to impress upon people your demeanor.
You need to check yourself. If what you are saying is true, that demons plague you despite the powerful word of the Lord, then maybe you need to make sure you are right with God, with the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Again, if you wish to be free of these demon’s you will be free of them.
If you do not wish to be free of them, you won’t be.
Remember Fear is a spirit of Satan, so if you are constantly feeling fear, again you are sending out an invitation probably don’t even realize it.
We must have Christ in us. Without that, we’ve nothing.
I am not bashing you, I’m warning you about very very very serious topic. It is sacred to me and my people and deeply offensive to see people throwing these stories around to entertain people.
With that, I rest my case. You listen to me, or you don’t, its up to you, your choice. Learn the hard way or check your relationship with God. And PLEASE READ THE BIBLE.
“He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding”
(Proverbs 15:32)
Desirae,
You just repeated your self and seems like you didnt even read what i wrote earlier? I said i did not write my stories for entertainment, i wrote them because God told me to warn others! I dont take credit for it as my own powers, gifts, or what ever you want to call it, God had me see these things for a reason, I dont know why these things happen to me completely and im not trying to change the bible or anything like that, my dad knows the bible inside and out and can tell you where any scripture is. i was raise with what he knows so i am very firmiular, just didnt believe him only, but have searched the scriptues my self and continue to learn and have my own testimony of it.
I know you and many others think that because i am going through these attacks it becaue i let it in, or dont have faith because when i say in Jesus Christ name it dont go away? But i can tell you the demons rarely go away when i tell them to leave i dont know why that is? And many others have exprienced this also, not just me!! The only thing i can think of for some kind of reason is that God told me that Satan is more powerful now since its the last days, I know none of us have all the answers and the bible dosent have all of them either just some for the time being, I know the lord has much, much more to say in the future as well.
you say you feel like what your saying is falling on deaf ears, but honestly thats how i feel about you! No affense. but you are self rightous in the way you attack me and yes i feel attacked from you and feel no love at all from you as a christian as you clam to be, I will admit im not a perfect person and i try to be humble as much as i can but again im not perfect, the only reason i am alive typing this to you now is because God saved me from the demonic attacks.
I truly hope and wish the best for you. God bless.
To Desirae,
Then next time i better call it “gift” ^__^. I just didn’t know the word use to describe it. English language is so different from my native language.
Thanks for the answer Cortney. ^__^ I understand that now. I dont have any gift or any power but I think I understand why God doest give me any and I’m glad for that.
You know, that verse, “God has not given us a spirit of fear. . .” is absolute. For some, it doesn’t go much farther than that (which is great). For others, those who are sensitive to that (remember God made us that way) it’s a daily thing because we can sense “deeper.” Also because God has something for us to learn and we are ready to find out what it is (not always fun).
That sensitivity is there to hear and know God better (think Moses, Elijah, Paul, John). Though I sought these things out when I was a kid, I have cast those practices out of my life. It is also true that telling spirits to “Go in Jesus name” does work, and sometimes it takes more than that. That’s where memorizing Scripture verses helps.
Remember when Jesus was in the wilderness, the devil came at him 3 times and Jesus defeated him by quoting Scripture verses. The devil left but waited for a “more opportune time” to try again.
You might get attacked again 5 minutes later; the devil sliding up to you again but with a different tactic (if intimidation doesn’t work, tempting yo or inciting your anger might). The battle is daily, moment by moment, and is for the mind! Your defense IS your relationship to God (how often do you pray, praise Him, read His word, just confide in Him). My confidence comes in the armor of God (truth, peace of God and peace with God, Jesus’ righteousness applied to me, salvation, faith, and the word of God) see Eph.6:10-18.
The other verse is the one “Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the World.” Another absolute, no matter how strong the devil gets. These things are the strength of my confidence. When there are rare times that these don’t do it, I just stop, close my eyes and pray (like Daniel in the lion’s den) thank Jesus, and maybe start singing my favorite praise chorus (remember God prepares a table for me in the midst of my enemies).
As a saved, renewed, adopted child of God the Father in Jesus Christ, there is NO CREATURE that gets in the way of my reaching out to God and His responding to me.
The other thing is that if you go after the devil on your own (taunt him, challenge him) you will get “hit” (in fact they take glee in taunting you and egging you on). Come at them the right way and “Spirit filled” they will run or you will hold them off (which is a victory)!
Brett Valentine,
I know what your saying I know all those scriptures but to be honest it didnt work in my situation but works for many and im thanful it does help others, Im glad they havent had an attack of torment as long and horrifing as me, but i dont expect people to understand that have not gone thorugh it, only the ones who have understand me but most of all im comforted the most that God understands. Im so thankful my attacks are not as bad but they still do come without an ivitation, I never invited them in me or to come aaround me, but you dont have to since there everywhere.
take care and God bless.
Cortney
Hey Courtney,
I don’t know if you thought of it this way. Some of the things I go through now are orders of magnitude greater than what I went through as a child (before i was a believer).
Any day I’m not possessed or being pulled out of my body when I’m sleeping is a victory (used to happen a lot).
No body knows your particular burden but God, and all we can do is share our experiences, encourage, and pray for each other.
Mine for you are strength and peace despite.
your story is intresting.
it must of been terrifing for you.
Interesting story. I personally believe that your soul is your own and no one can take it from you even for a price. I believe you choose who or what you follow but no matter what they still don’t and can’t own your soul.
Aly,
Regardless what you believe its true that your soul does go to either God or Satan. And that all depends on our choices in this life. I hope you will choose God’s side.
God bless.
Saran Is Very Very tricky and cunning he can make you believe anything, and he can make you accept his offers … BUT if you have strong faith in God you can overcome these situations! So I applaud you!
well im very proud of you and i believe your story satan has aslo tempted me with actual possesed demonic people and i resisted as well god bless you
Hi Brittany and Tcgray15
Thank you both for your comments it means allot. God bless.
I belive you have a purpose in your life to help the world by preching in jesus name and to follow Jesus. If a demon wanted to hurt you, then you really are a disciple of Jesus.
Be strong, there are others like you form all over the world. When ever this happens again Pray to Jesus at that moment, Jesus will send his angels , then all demons will retreat from you current location. Angels are far more Stronger than Demons.
“even satan can appear to look like an angel”. God the father is looking over you.
GOD BLESS!!!!
