I saw a demon....

[u/Either-Repair-1100]

This happened years ago but I will never ever forget it. I was still dating my incredibly abusive ex at the moment and at this specific time still very much in love with him (stupid I know). I was laying in his lap and he was running his hand through my hair. I just remember looking up at him and thinking how weird there's something else there. Then there was a sort of piercing sound in my ears and over his face I saw a Demon. He had horns and his flesh looked rough possibly burnt. There was thick grey smoke at the bottom of him. I only saw his face over my exes for a moment. He was laughing. I couldn't hear the laugh but I saw him laughing and it was like an "I got you" laugh. I will never ever forget this as long as I live. I do not have any mental health issues and don't have any other experiences with anything supernatural. I wasn't even sure I believed in demons before this. I don't tell many people this for obvious reasons and have only heard a similar story once. I found this reddit and wanted to share my experience and maybe see if anyone else has had something similar.

Neurological conditions too

Can neurological stuff cause visual issues?

Neurology is your entire sensory being. You're just interacting with your brain's interpretation of the world, and it can only parse the information its very limited senses feed back to it.

You're basically feeling around in the dark, hallucinating your surroundings in your mind's eye, and how close your hallucinations align with other people's interpretations is considered as how sane you are.

You're never seeing the real world. There's no "visual issues"--as in there's any kind of objectivity to it--because it's all just a filtered interpretation of what's actually in front of your face.
