Summary

It begins at her then-boyfriend’s childhood home, where she experiences two separate instances of being slapped on the head by an unseen force—while lying against a solid wall. Later, she learns of a man who died tragically nearby, deepening the mystery.
In 2019, during what was meant to be a relaxing river trip in Texas, she wakes in the middle of the night to a terrifying presence she believes was demonic—an encounter so disturbing she’s only spoken of it once since.
Finally, in 2022, while doing laundry in her garage just after her father moved out, she locks eyes with a full-bodied apparition watching her from behind a wall—solid, detailed, and unnervingly curious. These events, together with a sensitivity to energy and spirit, form a haunting timeline of unexplained phenomena doesn't look for, but endures with quiet strength and faith.

0:50.3	I was sitting on the concrete.
0:52.3	It was a sunny day. I was just alone. It was very quiet in that moment. I was sitting with my legs crossed. And I remember staring at my legs, specifically one leg by my knee. I don't know why I have no explanation as to why I focused on that area.
