I've never in my life seen something so demonic.

The crow's blood was everywhere.

It was everywhere.

Welcome to true scary story.

What if the things you feared as a child never left? This is a story of one woman's lifelong brush with the unknown.

My name is Edwin.

And here is Erica's true, scary story.

Most of this happened in North Carolina, and these are the big highlights of everything that I've been through.

I've always been a little different than most people in my family.

My grandmother and I call ourselves the black sheep of the family.

I was always very clingy and I never really liked being away from my mom or my grandmother.

The first real feeling of something different was my childhood home.

I never liked going into my bedroom.

I would literally cry and beg to not go in there.

When I came out, I had to wash my hands with soap and water over and over again, so much so that my hands would crack and bleed.

We had a basement. I wouldn't mind even going into the basement, but I never, ever wanted to go into that bedroom.

And I never slept alone in that bedroom.

The closet in the bedroom sometimes had a weird red dot that would flash.

I told my parents about it and they looked through the closet up and down and they never really found anything, but it kept happening.

Eventually it got so bad that I couldn't take it anymore.

I had my dad sleep with me at night, or I had my mom sleep with me at night.

Sometimes it would stay on, where it was flashing.
