Hey guys. Last year, I had a really frightening incident. I felt it was of great significance to share this experience for my own well being. First, let me explain where and when this happened.
About a year ago, I had a job working for pest control in Florida. I was asked to do an under house inspection (There were suspicions that ants were crawling through the floorboards.) The next thing you know I was under a house with a flashlight in one hand a notepad in the other, looking for anything that looked suspiciously like an ant nest. I don’t remember spotting any, and so I turned around to exit the crawlspace. I was making my way back toward the light of the opening and heard a noise behind me. (God, this sounds cliche). I suddenly turned my head to see what it was. The noise sort of sounded like a water droplet, but after reassuring myself I turned back around and stopped. The entrance was gone. Everything was dark in front of me. I then slowly reached for my flashlight, which was lying on the ground, pointing behind me (I thought I didn’t need it for guidance toward the bright entrance light). Before I could turn my flashlight to where the entrance was, the entrance reappeared. It came to light from one side to the other, as if something in front of it moved out of the way. I was genuinely freaked out and quickly crawled out of the crawlspace, told my customer of what bugs I had found (none), and went home.
It was the next day - same customer, calling in complaining they had seen a line of ants crawling out of the entrance of the crawlspace. So I went back again to inspect. This time, I was sure to check my surroundings at all times. I was doing my business, looking around at small cracks and holes when I realized something was in front of me. I could feel its essence and also see a dark figure kneeling. And then I turned my flashlight up. I wish I never did. There was a humanoid figure in front of me (about 10 feet away); very pale and staring to the right. I held my breath and tried not to scream. I didn’t really look at the body, but I could clearly see its head. It had huge eyes and was frowning to, the right. One thing that struck me were its wires. The creature possessed short wires sticking from its ears, ending at about 3 inches.
This was the scariest moment of my life. Can you imagine? These were the sort of things I had nightmares about when I was a kid! What a peculiar, frightening, and exhilarating moment at the same time. Anyway, I closed my eyes like a baby and slowly started crawling backward. When I thought I was far enough away, I pointed my flashlight back in front of me and squinted. It was still there. Just staring. I scrambled out the exit / entrance, told the customer what I had seen, and went home. Thankfully my customer was understanding, reassuring me it was only a hallucination and they won’t worry about it. I have thought about letting people know (locally), but I have decided to ultimately keep this general to myself..
Well--yeah. That is what happened those few days. I contacted the customer every once in a while, to make sure he’s safe. We're actually good friends now. It's pretty scary knowing that perhaps these things do exist (or thinking they do). I have moved since this experience and have never run into anything this interesting again. You don’t have to believe me; I just wanted to get this experience out there. Feel free to tell me your thoughts. Thank you for reading this far and bye.
