Dark Figure in Chicago Museum
Rate this encounter:
Sandra Weierman, Chicago, Illinois, 1979-80
I'm going to tell my most scary encounter, but I will leave out the name of
the museum since I have no idea if I could name it without getting into any
trouble. I was at this museum with a school field trip. I was bored and
lagging behind the rest of my class. As I slowly walked a back hall (that
had not been open to visitors previously), I suddenly felt something was
wrong. I felt a dark presence behind me at the beginning of the hall. I
stopped and just stood there as I felt it slowly get closer. As it did, I
felt a creeping cold that went past me and also a darkness that once it was
past me, I couldn't see a thing even though I knew my eyes were wide open. I
was frozen in place by sheer terror. Even though I was not able to turn and
look at this thing, I had the impression that it was a dark-robed figure
sort of like the angel of death. Also there were no sounds and then suddenly
my teacher was there shaking me, calling my name over and over. It took a
few minutes for everything to come back like sounds and my sight. I never
told her or anyone about this. I let her believe I had some kind of attack
because I was breathing quite fast, and I was pale and shivering. I have no
idea if anyone has had this or a similar encounter with this dark entity.
I'm hoping not for their sake.
