Summary

At 15, alone in Spain, he woke into sleep paralysis that felt like an eviction from his body. A black clawed hand hovered over his face, a shadow poured across the floor, and a voice spoke two chilling words: “The twins.” What followed was a relentless pattern: crushing chest pain, icy knives between the ribs, and the sense of his soul being pulled free. By day he felt watched on sun-blasted streets; by night, the dark moved.

Years later in London, the Shadows evolved. The paralysis returned with graphic visions no one should see—scenes so precise they felt like memory. Doctors said stress. He knew better. The figures appeared in mirrors and windows, bending the light itself. One night he turned the mirror into a battlefield and said, “You can’t have me.” The real haunting blinked—and stepped back.

Was it curiosity? Recognition? Or something older, trying to understand the living?

It’s a reminder that sometimes, the things in the dark aren’t here to harm you… they just want to see if you’ll look back.
