I was working at Starbucks with two coworkers who were both my friends. I was sitting in the cafe reading the paper, I look up and they are both staring at me in complete horror. One of them (a guy) is crying, and I'm super confused, and ask them what is wrong. The other guy tells me that they looked over at me and I had giant black eyes and was just staring at them and the guy who was crying thought I was going to climb over the counter and kill them. I was terrified because they were so upset, and the fact that both of them had seen something.

A couple of weeks later I am at work with one of my best friends, we were pretty comfortable with each other, and were standing close together when he suddenly jumped several feet away from me. He asked me if I had felt something and I said no, and asked him what was wrong. He said nothing, but I noticed he would move away from me every time I went near him. He eventually admitted to me that he had seen a large black shadow come up out of my body. He was very religious, and this freaked him out. He always drove me home after work, but refused to that night.

For awhile nothing else had happened, I was a little freaked out, but no one was really upset about it anymore. I was once again working with the two guys I had been working with the first time, I had turned off all the lights and one guy and I were sitting in the cafe waiting for the other guy to grab his stuff and leave with us. We started talking about it again, and were talking about whether or not we believe in supernatural things. He said he definitely didn't believe in demons or anything and at that exact moment random lights flashed with electricity around the store (not lights that would be on the same switch). The other guy came out of the back and we asked him if he had done anything and he said no. I actually started crying and the three of us left there very quickly.

The guy and I drove around for awhile until I had calmed down, and he took me home. My family was out of town, and I was still pretty freaked out. I went to my room and when I pushed on my door I could swear that I felt something push back, and I screamed for whatever it was to let me in my room. I grabbed my laptop and watched disney movies until the sun came up.

These events led to a lot of introspection on my part, and I decided if there was something supernatural happening it only had power over me if I let it. I believe in the power of positive and negative energy and I decided that I wouldn't let it have power over me, and tried to never think about negative things, or dwell on terrible things that have happened.

I told my boyfriend several years later about the demon thing and he started to taunt it jokingly, and quickly stopped because we both suddenly felt uncomfortable and scared. It was very bizarre.

After that nothing has happened again, but I do believe in supernatural things. My boyfriend and I both feel something weird about the doorway to our bedroom, and often both dream about something in the doorway watching us. I believe that by ignoring supernatural things you cannot give them power, and they will not bother you.
