That Thing Follows

POST 1 (SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 - 9:13 AM)
My name is Max, I am an average 26 year old. I live alone in Oregon. I often get paranoia when I hear or see something that might have scared me. But this experience isn't paranoia anymore, it exists and I still remember everything. I was scared to post this on the internet for a while, but I feel like I need to.
It all started on May 8, 2016 when I was 24. It has already been one year since I moved into my house at that time. Apparently, I have seen a story about disappearances in a forest, even though the author said it was a work of fiction, it still scares me.
One night, I heard noises in my backyard. My backyard was near a forest where no one really goes. I decided to check it out, so I opened the door and looked around. Nothing was there, I assumed it was just the wind. Everything was normal at first when I went to bed. The next day, I woke up at 4:30 in the morning. I went downstairs to get a glass of water, and I heard the same noise from last night again. I checked, and no one was there.
It felt like something was wrong. I just ignored it and did my business. I never heard it again for a few hours. When I got home, I saw my friends in our group chat talking about how great it was when they went to a gaming convention in San Francisco. Then I heard the strange noise again. This time, I thought it was my paranoia. I’m scared to go outside this time.

The next day, I decided to look around the house, and yet nothing was still there. That mysterious sound stopped for a while until a week later. It started again.
I finally went to the backyard. After walking around, I saw it. It was a thing. I can’t think straight but I can still remember how it looked. It had a distorted face, it had a black shirt and gray pants, it was really pale. I heard the door shut loudly, I looked behind. The door was closed, and I later fell to the ground. I couldn’t get up, I had to use my hands to move, but it wasn’t working. I looked behind. It slowly walked towards me. Something was on the ground, they looked like tentacles. I couldn’t feel them, but I knew that they were the ones responsible for keeping me on the ground.
I looked at the door. It was open, and then I looked behind again. The tentacles were gone, and so was the mysterious figure. I was able to get up. I ran inside and locked the door, I was traumatized by that experience. I knew that it wasn’t paranoia. I knew it was real, that monster exists.

After that, I texted my friends that I would hang out with them for a week. They were cool with that, but I needed to keep the secret about a monster encounter that I had or they would call me crazy.
The next day, I traveled to Wyoming to meet them, it was our hometown. It takes fourteen hours to get there by car, I didn’t really have to get an airplane ticket because I enjoyed driving. I packed my stuff and left at 7 in the morning. I realized I should have left at 4am so I could get there earlier. It was too late to go back though.
After what seemed like a day, I finally arrived in Casper. Nothing strange happened to me luckily. I drove to one of my friends' houses because they told me we were gonna hang out there. The next day, we started hanging out. We went to Target. After that we went back home and played some video games, watched a movie, and ate pizza. It was 9:34pm already.
We decided to sleep now, one slept on the couch, one on the bed and I slept on my sleeping bag. We did a lot of stuff. I was still shaken by the fact about that thing in my house, I cannot take it off anymore. It was time to head back home already, which means I have to drive for fourteen hours again. But this time, I decided to stay at a Motel for a few hours in Twin Falls so I can continue driving and arrive at 1pm. I left at 10am.
I got to the motel at 6pm until strange things started happening. The lights in my room started flickering, the television turning on without doing anything. I was scared at that point. But I also didn’t feel safe going out.
That night, I went outside to tell the person at the front desk. But then I saw the thing again, the one that was at my house. It was following me everywhere I went, like a stalker. I backed off slowly and ran to my room and locked the door. I took a peek at the window. It was at the door, but it was staring at me, I had to hide. I couldn’t find a hiding place, so I stood in the corner of the room. The door opened, but no one was there, it was the wind this time.
I drove back home first thing in the morning. I had to plan how to get rid of that monster, I know it’s following me. I wanted to speed up the car but I know something bad will happen even if the road is empty.
After an hour, the car stopped for no reason, it was 1pm. I decided to wait for a car to help me. A lot of cars passed but nobody helped me. It was getting dark, and yet, no one stopped to help me. I decided to get back inside the car because the thing might appear again. I locked all the doors if somebody might try to get in, it feels like a nightmare I used to have now. Then I heard whispers, I decided to look at the rear-view mirror, my fears came. It was right there at the back of the car, watching. I could hear whispers. I could only make up “Please help me.” since the others were distorted. I blinked and it was gone, I don’t why it needs help.

The car finally started back and I got back home. I decided to search the thing on Google if it actually exists or if it is just in my mind. I saw one that linked to Reddit. I decided to click it, and there was a photo. It was a drawing of the same one that I saw, the author who wrote the post said their friend saw it. The post ended with: “You are on your own, I’m sorry but no one will be able to help you.” I felt a chill down my spine after reading that. I really was alone, and no one could help me stop it. It feels impossible to stop it.
I was really scared, I don’t want to see my life end there.
I didn’t want to think about it anymore.
The next day, the mysterious thing disappeared. I decided to wait for a week to see if it will come back. It never did. I’m still not sure if I should really continue this. This part disturbs me the most. I don’t think I should share any more of this information for now. I might change my mind and share it in the next post. I don’t know yet. I’m sorry to cut the story there.
