This story is completely true. It happened to my sister and I. I was about 12 years old and my sister was about 6. We had moved to Benicia, California, and I didn’t like the new house to begin with. I had a weird feeling about it. Anyway, beginning were a chain of small events that were unexplainable, until the paranormal activity became so apparent that it couldn’t be dismissed anymore.
The first thing that happened was to my mom, who had been home alone at night, and she was making something in the kitchen. She then heard a big noise from the bathroom. Upon investigation she found that everything on the counter, and in the medicine cabinet, and in the bathtub had been thrown into a pile in the middle of the floor.
Then maybe a few days later when my sister and I were ready to go to bed, my sister said she saw two red eyes inside the closet. I didn’t see them, but from how scared she was I believed her. We shared a room, and we had bunk-beds. My mom comforted her until she fell asleep. I slept short after. I awoke later that night from a small continuous noise coming from the foot of my bed (I had the top bunk). When I looked at my feet, I could see this dark, black figured shape jumping up and down at the foot of my bed. Every time that it jumped up, it would leer at me with these little red eyes. The eyes seemed to sink into his face until the red would just disappear. I couldn’t see much detail to his facial features, but I did realize that he was wearing a brim hat, like Charlie Chaplin. I started to scream, and within a couple of seconds my mom came in the room. But before she was able to turn the light on, I saw the little man (about three feet tall) hurry and run to the corner of the room and disappear into the darkness just before my mom turned on the light. This was not the first of many experiences we had.
A few days later, I woke up in the middle of the night. I still had that experience fresh on my mind, so I very carefully peaked my head over the railing of my top bunk, and looked around the room. When I saw the little man! This time he was just being very still and quiet, and he was just standing at the foot of my sisters bed, watching her (Our bunks were in the shape of an L, so I could see the lower half of my sisters bed). He then noticed me and looked at me. I yelled, and again, just one second before my mom got into the room, he would again run to the corner of the room, and disappear into the shadow. Every time he would run to the corner, he would stop for half a second facing the wall, and disappear.
What I always thought was weird was the fact that the corner of the wall seemed to be the only place he could escape from. I told my mom what happened, and how he returned. So after a few more nights of seeing this little man, experiences between both me and my sister, my mom started to get really curious. She always told us that there was nothing to worry about, but after we woke up so many different nights from this same figure, she began to grow suspicious, that maybe we weren’t lying or imagining it. So what she did next, she did not tell us, until years later when we were grown up. If she told us at that time, it would have made us even more frightened because we would have known that it was not our imaginations.
She told us that she stayed up one night with all the lights off. She was sitting in a chair in her bedroom, looking down the hallway to the entry way to our bedroom. What she saw next startled her. She said that after about a half hour after she turned the lights out she saw a little man who came into the hallway from the bathroom. He started to walk into our room when he must have sensed something. My mom said he stopped, and slowly turned around and looked at her with those sunken in little red eyes. She said he then turned back around and went into our room. She hurried up, and ran into our room and turned on light on. But he had vanished.
We lived in that house for about another year. We continued to have strange things happen. It didn’t let up until my mom and dad decided to move. Personally, I believe to this day, that the little man had to of been some sort of demon, not a human spirit. One thing that I never liked about it, was the fact that countless times, I would look around in the middle of the night, and every time he would be still, just watching us, either from the foot of my sisters bed, or he would be standing in the corners watching us. I never liked that, because you just never knew how long he could have been watching you as you slept.

that is the first story i read that aucally made my almost ??? my pants.figure of speech.I acually said oh my.i dont know what I would of done.I really dont know what to say.Im stund.I aucally have nothing to say really.when your mom stayed up that freaked me out.I wounder if you would have had your hand off your bed if the demon would have gotten a hold it or not.luckly you or your sister or even your mom didnt get hurt.Like I said I read lots of stories on this page and yours is the only one that I was scared and I dont get scared really easy.
I got so into this story and about jumped out of my skin when my co-worker opened the door of our office. LOL. Wonderful story and I know that it’s true.
Hi thanks for sharing your story. Did you ever find out what happened in the house that would cause the demon to be there???Was it a problem with what was ‘done’ by someone before you and your family ever lived there…or was it attached to the land the house was on??Thank goodness no one was physically hurt.Have you or your family experienced anything paranormal since you all moved out of that house??Also I was wondering if paranormal abilities or gifts run in your family??Just a thought.Blessed Be !!!
I am the mother of the man who submitted the story about the demonic little man. What he has said is absolutley true. When we lived in Benicia we lived up in the hills in a secluded area with a hill backing up to our backyard. When all this occured we were the only ones home as their dad worked graveyard shifts. My daughter and son soon ended up in my bed due to all this acitivity. I knew that there was something odd going on in that house but it was always just weird little things until the little man started showing up. And in reply to Grey Wolf, yes, we have always had strange things happen especially with me. things seem to happen at all our residences. I believe however that the little man was somehow linked to the house and/or land. That house never seemed to be able to keep owners in for extended periods of time as we would go back and check out the old neighborhood. It was always for sale. To this day the three of us still talk about “the little man.”
Hey I really liked this story, when I was about 3-4
I had a similar experience. I was asleep with my dad
In our room and in the darkness I saw this little man
The same way you described him. Except he didn’t
Have red eyes. And he was putting things into a bag.
It was the most terrifying thing I had ever experienced.
I was only 4 at the time. Thank you for sharing your story Now I feel I’m not the only one.

Wow that is incrediable, thank God your mom was brave enough to do that, I would of moved out the next day. If it just watched you and never harmed you it might not of been evil, still scary though
I read the story 2 days ago and i acually kind of scared in the middle of the night.Like I said I dont get scared that easly and this topped it off.I told my sister about it .she dont want to read it.so thank you very much.I always wanted to get scared because just cause.People say watch this movie it will scare you(PARANORMAL ACTIVITY)never did.stupid movie .so Im glad someone out there can make me get scared.
not being funny or anything but it couldn’t be a demon , once demons are there they stay there until the day that you die and then move on so no matter where you move or go it will alwys be there and demons don’t do that they want to play with your mind and try to hurt you so to me it’s bull
if it was a demon it would try to harm you. sounds like a lonely spirit that wants to play.
because it happend when my kids were so young and it left such an awful memory, that is why they refer to it as a demon. True demon? Evil spirit? Whatever it was, it was definitly malevolent and much more than a lonely spirit that wanted to play.
hey this is joshua. ….. thank you all for taking time to read my story. wanted to let you know i enjoy readin all your opinions.
Wow that’s terrible I also had a story about me and my sister what we have seen of ghost but now we grew up I’m 13 and she is15
my trailor was haunted and my daugther saw red eye and demons. we had a battle of evil in our trailor. we get laughed at a lot. we had an exorcism in the trailor and a Catholic priest helped us. the trailor park has a lot of paranormal activity. I kept hearing whispering voices. both my girls saw entities. one of my daughters got attacked and kept seeing the devil to kill herself. she actually cut one of her wrists. I took her to the doctors. but she kept seeing lucifer telling her to cut herself. it was pretty bad. I heard footsteps, banging. we were afraid. I moved my oldest daughter out of there she has stopped cutting herself. she doesn’t see anything. she moved to Kansas with her dad. me and my other kids moved out. as soon as we left we heard things for a couple of months and then it died, down. we try not to talk about it. we are afraid the haunting will start up again. but we know clearly it was a demonic haunting because of a neighbor killing himself across the street. there was domestic violence in the trailor and nearby a little girl was attacked. all of these events triggered the demonic haunting. my smallest daughter saw demons, the devil, entities of a little girl with red eyes. demons with black capes and red eyes. some had black eyes. it was pretty bad. the worst part came when my little daughter asked me if the entities with red eyes were evil or the ones with black eyes. I told her they all were evil. so we moved out and the nightmare has ended.

Man Carrie that does sound bad when I was barely a baby my uncle got possessd and they said when they were trying to cast the demon out all of us babies were crying my mom said that there were other demons in the room pinching us. So she told my auntyo take us to another room. but yeah they got it out of him.
I had a few ghost expiriences and now I’m a paranormal investigator. I had a case similar to this and it actually matches your description perfect. The boy seen a “bad leprechaun” at night with red eyes. It didn’t go into the corner though, it went under the bed. I actually seen it too, It came from the bathroom and into the boys room, but once it seen my on the bed, it went right underneath my legs and under the bed. My legs were numb for weeks. I personally don’t think it’s a demon or lonely spirit. If it was lonely it would try to play, not just watch. The one I seen was in Reno, Nevada.
Really? I dont know anything other than the hollywood version of leprechauns. But regardless it was interesting reading your story. That must have been something when it crawled under your legs and left them numb for weeks. Did it leave a sensation when it happened, like cold or anything? Were you able to find anything out about why it happened? If you read this post let me know. I am curious. Thanks for sharing Brad!
Sandi/Joshua, could you see how was it dressed? Depending on it’s attire, it could have been a number of things.
Hey Sinner King- I know that he/it wore a hat, like my son said one similar to the type Charlie Chaplin wore, but I am pretty sure that it seemed he/it was wearing something that i can only describe as a cloak or cape. The whole wardrobe ensemble seemed to be of black colors so the thing that stuck out the most was the hat and cloak. Any insights with that description? Let me know if you can. I would appreciate it- thanks!
Hmmm… It could have been a low ranked demon, or a type of leprechaun/troll. If it’s a demon, then an exorcism would possibly be done with it, but a leprechaun/troll would be a different story. If it’s a leprechaun, it could either think you are/were a danger to it’s treasure, or it’s just being playful. A troll…get plenty of holy charms, keep a cross with you, or leave the lights on and it might think it’s sun out.
Goodluck
King.
Thats crazy something scary like that ought to give me nighmares for a week. I have never seen one of them in my life and I hope I never do.
one of my friend see taller version that got in bed with her and would stand over her and the room would turn gray and i mean everything was gray
