I am sensitive on this issue. Usually I speak about this to no one. But since you are Catholics and I am sure you believe in demonic forces, I thought I'd take a risk and share it with you, if you are interested. I know from what I saw on TV that the Catholic Church needs much proof of demonic presence to actually accept that there are demons involved, so I don't know how you will react to my story. But here it is.

This is totally true, and I would swear that on a stack of Holy Bibles.

This is the true story of what happened to me in July 1995 when I was visited by demonic forces and it changed my life around. There's really no reason that I would make any of this up. I'm a very level headed person and I know that what I saw was real.

The year was 1994. I was age 14. I was going through a rough time in my life during the spring of that year. I'd found myself lying in my bed at the hospital that I was being treated at for my severe depression and my problem with anger. Out of the blue, a thought came into my mind that maybe I had been dealing with demonic forces. The thought seemed to come out of no where and I told my mother about it and she was the only one that didn't believe I was trying to blame my problems on something else.

My mother took me to visit the pastor of the church we attended which was a local Lutheran church. However, I still seemed to have the feeling that I was taunted by demons. I never knew why I felt this way but I assumed that it was because I had a friend who was into Satanism and he'd let me hold his Satanic bible so I thought maybe somehow it had something to do with him, but I was never really sure.

I continued to have problems and I hit my lowest point the previous winter and I was out of school for three months. It was March of 1995 and I finally got back into school, but now I was at a school that had a program that could better deal with students who had depression and other emotional problems. There, I met Nick. I had been very vulnerable at this point in my life because I'd just begun to get over my depression and I was very welcoming to the idea of letting new people enter into my life.

My first impression of Nick was that he was not a Satanist, but a trouble-maker and someone I should steer clear of but I was trying to come into this new relationship with an open mind and trying to live by the rule that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. So that April, Nick and I got together.

I'd continued to have the feelings at times that there were demons around me. One night it seemed especially bad. I told Nick that I felt as if there were demons around me, troubling me. This is what started the unbelievable events that you think you'd never experience and that you only see on TV.

I was sitting in the living room with my mother and Nick. Nick seemed to have a very evil look in his eyes. I didn't know what exactly was going on but I felt better and I didn't feel this evil presence bothering me. However, it was a very strange feeling. It was as if someone was watching us. All of a sudden, his little dog ran to our sliding-glass door and looked outside on our deck and was obviously seeing something that couldn't be seen by my mother and me. I could have dismissed this as a hoax until the dog started barking and viciously growling at whatever was out there. I must admit that I was skeptical at first. Eventually the dog stopped growling and barking at whatever he saw and the night carried on smoothly.

Later, I asked what the heck had happened and Nick explained that since the demons were bothering me that while he was outside walking, he told them to go into him instead. It all was very weird and scary to me and I was glad it was over.

The next day seemed to go by fine, until the evening when it was just about dark outside. Nick was in the family room and I was in the bathroom and I felt the same evil presence taunting me again. I can remember looking in the mirror and just saying quietly, almost under my breath, "Get the f*** away from me!" and then I left the bathroom and I went upstairs to where my mother was.

I'd say it must have been about a minute when then my mother and I heard Nick call us in terror. Again, I was skeptical but we went down anyway and by the time we got down there, Nick was standing up and all of a sudden, the invisible force lifted him up and lashed him against the door, quite forcefully. There was no way anyone could have pulled a prank like that. He literally levitated and was thrown against the door. The look in his eyes was that of complete terror as he saw this force that my mother and I still failed to see, but yet again the dog could see it. The dog didn't seem to bark this time, but he walked over to it and only tried to smell it, to comprehend what it was.

The three of us then said our prayers as we were absolutely terrified. After we prayed, Nick explained that he could in fact see this spirit and he described it as having red glowing eyes but not much of a body. I believe this is when we called his church and we were going to go there for prayer and an exorcism. We then heard my two dogs barking outside in a way that they only did when someone or something was outside that shouldn't be there. Of course at this time, we knew that this demon was outside but we had to face it if we were going to go to the church.

We walked out of the house and we stayed as close to each other as possible. We have a sidewalk in front of the house that leads to the driveway and he got to the end of the sidewalk and in terror, he explained that this demon was inside of the car. He was of course, very reluctant to want to get into the car but for some reason, it got out of the car when we made it known that we weren't giving up and that we still planned on going. Keep in mind, Nick is the only human that has seen it up until this point so he was pretty much guiding us. Apparently the demon rose to the top of the trees that are near our driveway. I watched Nick watch this force.

It's an extremely weird feeling to know that something is there, watching you but you can't see it, even when you are looking directly at it. Nick seemed to be totally mesmorized by this and my mother and I kind of had to forcefully bring him over to the car. The demon was now gone and Nick told us that he wanted to drive us to the church but my mother would not allow it because of what was happening. Nick and I sat in the back seat and my mother drove the car. We live out in the country so it always took quite a while to get to the church. I didn't know what kind of a ride it was going to be but I hoped we'd get there ok.

We drove down the driveway and turned toward town. All of a sudden, the demon reappeared again along the side of the road. I only knew because Nick watched it as we drove by. I then learned that our ride to the church wasn't going to be an easy one because Nick said that we were being followed. (Only after the fact did I learn through Nick that this demon didn't actually run when it was chasing us but it would disappear but then reappear closer to us each time.) We were all frantic. My mother drove as fast as she could go, while being sure to keep the car under control. We had gone through each stop-sign to avoid being caught but finally we came to a T corner and we were forced to stop.

By now we were about 5
