Halloween is without a doubt considered the spookiest time of year.

It’s the time of year when we binge watch all of the horror classics, sure to induce a good jump scare - like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are also those other classics that take us to a much darker place - like Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen, where we question the existence of demons.

For one young man in the town of Manteca, California, there came a time where he didn’t just question the existence of demons - he believed he was actually seeing them.
