Summary
Growing up in a house outside Chicago, strange things seemed to happen to nearly everyone in the family.
His brother talked to people in his room that no one else could see. His mother claimed she once encountered an apparition in the hallway. Even séances were held in the house from time to time.
But the most unsettling experience happened to the one person who refused to believe in any of it. One night, his father got up in the dark to walk down the hallway to the bathroom. Before he could turn on the light, he saw something waiting inside.
Two red glowing eyes.
And the presence behind them was something he would never forget—and rarely talks about to this day.
