Bony-Armed Thing

by Branden



A few years back, a couple of friends and I were celebrating my birthday along with the coming of summer vacation. We were all hanging out in my living room, which has the front door and three large windows. All was good until I saw someone – something – hiding behind a tree about 50 feet from the house. It was peeking out from the side of the tree waving at the house. I didn't want to influence the view of my friends, so I told them to look out the window and see if they saw anything strange.



Both of them saw exactly what I saw – a pale, gangly, bony-armed thing with bright yellow bulging eyes, smiling and waving at us. That night has terrorized me ever since. We saw shadows running around the outside of the house, and my dog even attacked something that was outside, as we heard the thing running shadow thing do a pass by the front of my house and get into my backyard somehow.



Since then we have had a thing try to break in the door; we've seen its bony figure standing outside my window, it's chased us in the woods, and we believe it's not alone. We've also had encounters with various other types of entities, ranging from a bloody, blindfolded woman in a night gown walking in the woods near my house, to skinny black figures hiding behind trees and shaking chains. Everyone we've told thinks that we are crazy, but if you ever have to wake up to a pale bony arm reaching from the shadows after you and barely missing your chest, you don't simply brush it off and cast it aside.
