“Hello is.. Is this thing on?” (deep breath)
Hello my name is Sam Honers. I was 16 when I saw them…. the date is October 23rd 2005 and me and my boyfriend Josh went out to the soccer field that night. The moon was high and the grass was damp. I didn't tell my parents I went out, for all they knew, I was in bed asleep waiting for school tomorrow. Instead I was gone with him, and he was taken from me. We were just hanging out when we heard a noise behind us, we turned around and saw it. It looked like a man but his limbs were long, his belly had a seam down the middle, and his head was a perfect circle.
Josh nervously yelled out, “hello!”, but no answer.
All we could hear was his heavy breathing and I swear I heard a growl from him.
Josh said more aggressively, "Hello!, can I help you?"
Like that, the man out of nowhere revealed one giant eye from his head and his belly opened revealing a massive mouth. He started sprinting towards us, it was so fast, faster than anything you can think of. We didn't have time to react, the thing jumped onto Josh and pushed me out of the way. It was too late to react, it had Josh and there was no escape, the thing had him pinned to the ground and all I heard was Josh say “AHHHH RUN, RUN SAM, GET OUT OF!…“ CRUNCH! and that was it....his voice was cut off. All I heard was a large crunching sound, I didn't know what from, but I knew it was from Josh. I ran as fast as I could and hid in a bush. I tried to look if Josh was ok but all I could see was that thing consuming his innards over him.
I went home to my mum and dad in the lounge room, looking disappointed yelling,
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG MAN!”
But when they saw what a mess I was in, the disappointment turned into comfort but when they heard what happened it turned to sadness and when i explained what the man looked like they thought i was crazy and drove straight to the soccer field to see josh’s body was gone just a red stain on the grass.
He was just here. I swear I'm not crazy but my reaction didn't convince them,I can't blame them if someone told me a one eyed monster killed someone I wouldn't believe them either.
My parents sent me to a therapist and a physician and I was put on medication. I think it was called Murikall, I don't know if it works or not but I never took them. My mum always liked Josh, she said he was good for me and she was right, I just wish I spent more time together with him.
But that's not the point. The point is I'm not crazy and I can prove i'm right. He rotates the camera around, revealing a lanky of white creature with a large mouth on its belly and one giant eye for a head. It had no hands, or feet, just a single black point at the end of each limb. It was shaking aggressively like an angry animal, its skin was off white, like a bone stained with blood, its eye lid had what seems to be a crudely drawn face on it like what you would see in a stick drawing. This is what killed him. This is what killed Josh.
I have been doing tests on this thing and it is terrifying, but all I know is there are more and they need to be killed.
