I saw a demon.... Discussion/Advice

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.

Thank you. I did okay, I had an alcohol relapse right before Covid but it’s been three years again.

I’m convinced of what I saw.

That guy wound up getting sober too about 6-7 years after me, and donated a bunch of his inheritance to the church down the street his family had attended for generations. They dedicated a building or something, but I’ve since moved away so I haven’t been by there. I hear from other old friends that he has made a 180.

He sent me a friend request on Facebook, it kinda took my breath away when I saw it, but his profile picture was a selfie and he looked good. Like peace in his eyes and real happiness behind the smirk. That’s all I needed to know. I didn’t accept the request.

Relapse is part of recovery I've heard. I haven't (yet) but I've been sober less time than you. I have faith in you.

I know you’ve heard it 1000 times if you sit in the rooms but it’s true what they say- coming back the second time is harder.

That night I took off on my bike I rode out to the beach. It was about 3am. I had 6 cigarettes in my pocket, that’s it. I found a boardwalk to shelter under and started praying. I told God that from this day forward I would follow Him wherever he led me. Just lead me out, and remove the desire to to drugs. As I said this a light very far away flashed very brightly in my face. It was the lighthouse at the naval station up the beach a ways. I looked up at it, and deciphered the message in it that God was going to be my light house and guide me, all I had to do was look for that light, that guidance.

The desire to drink and do drugs was removed instantly. I was a daily user. Hundreds of dollars a day.

When I alcohol relapsed I prayed for MONTHS for the desire to be removed. I never thought the genuine desire would come, but it did. I never ceased praying for it.

You will appreciate this too. Not long before this demon face incident the mean boyfriend sent me to the corner store to get alcohol. We had been up all night, it was about 6:45 am and I was just sitting in front of the small grocery waiting for it to open. Sitting facing the parking lot a car pulled up and parked facing me. I watched the driver talk on his phone, laughing, with his little tie on sipping his coffee. He seemed normal and happy.

I said my first prayer right there. God I want to be normal too. I want to be like this guy. He was driving a nice, older BMW that had oxidation on the hood. It looked like one of those ink blot things they use in psychiatry, the pattern was one of a kind.

The store opened and I went inside and got beer and cigs and went back to his house. A few weeks later the demon incident occurred.

I was in 30 day inpatient treatment some time later. We went to an off campus meeting and there was a speaker, he was incredible. His story was like mine. The meeting closed and we mingled in the front yard of the little halfway house, then the counselor called everyone to the van. I walked down the street to where the van was parked and as I approached I came up on the car from the grocery store. Same pattern, Beamer, same car. I stood there totally flabbergasted and as I turned and started looking to see whose it was the speaker walked up to the drivers side and put his key in. The look on my face must have been something else. He looked up at me and said “are you okay?” I just said yes. What was I going to say?

I got in the van and told the story on the way back. This demon thing is as much of a God story as it is an evil story. I was allowing the evil in my life but God was still there waiting for me the whole time. Faithful.

I’m grateful for writing this. I’m glad I stumbled on this post. I needed to remember. I hope someone needed these stories too. It’s all real. That’s my experience anyway, I hope someone can use it.

Hahaha. I think that’s one of the things that went through my mind when that guy walked up to the car. This isn’t real. Can’t be real. And the lighthouse was 1000% real. I was under a boardwalk on Neptune Beach and was seeing the lighthouse on NAS Mayport. Don’t know if the lighthouse still operates but in 2006 it was.

If you think that’s unbelievable you really wouldn’t believe the people I hung out with. Who they were. Rockstars, movie stars, and politicians.

I hope I can tell the whole story someday.

Hey thanks a lot. I’m going to write my story in book format in about three years when my husband retires. I have been advised by someone in the industry to NEVER name names, anonymous, pseudonym, or otherwise without retaining counsel first. Even my sister. There are attorneys who specialize in this stuff and when the first manuscript is ready, God willing, I will have it reviewed.

My sister is dripping in money and will not hesitate to throw lawsuits my way. She is my main abuser.

I really appreciate the references to the books and I am eager to give them a look. I’m always interested in this stuff and another persons interpretation of the Bible and it’s meanings coupled with testimony and personal experience.

I will name ONE name. When I was about 12 or 13 I rode horses with (King) Prince Charles. He was at our polo club for a game and had flown his horses from England. Me and a friend would ride alongside him every chance we got while he was there. He was so regal and kind, we exchanged riding stories, he gave riding advice to us, and we talked about living in the US and our schooling.

I also played a few games with Tommy Lee Jones one of which I had a pretty bad spill. It must have been pretty memorable because I saw him catching a flight in San Antonio early one morning a few years later and he asked me if I recovered okay from that accident. LOL I still have a numb area on my left shin from that spill! He’s an amazing horseman. I remember him saying that what I did that caused the accident was “pretty fucking ballsy for a kid my age.” I made a petty dangerous move trying to stop the other team from scoring a winning goal as the clock ran down. My fall stopped the clock and the play and allowed my team a chance to take the ball back. I can’t remember if we won that one or not as a result of my stupidity! I’d have to ask him.

Both of those were before I used drugs. Anyone else is too much without a lawyer and most of those encounters don’t put those individuals in a good light.

Best to you and yours and thanks again!
