[Stingy Jack]

Ever see a movie or read a story that had an image you couldn't get out of your head due to its utter creepiness (as opposed to "bloody/nasty/gory")? A memorable one for me is actually from a book (whose title I've long since forgotten), which was supposed to be a nonfiction account of a demonic possession. The house the family was living in had fallen under demonic forces, that would haunt them constantly. One haunting in particular is the subject of this post:

A boy, whose bedroom was in the basement (go figure), wakes up to hear a soft murmurring sound. He locates the sound to his makeshift closet, which uses an old, red curtain as a door. As his eyes adjust to the darkness, he notices the curtain is slightly open ... and behind it is standing the figure of an old man, grey and bony, eyes rolled up into his head. The man's lips are the only thing on his body that is moving, and it is from these lips that the murmurring comes. The boy has to run past the curtain to leave the room.

Typing it up now, it doesn't seem so creepy. I wish I still had the book so I could quote it directly.
