I've been living in the this house for about a month now. Everything's been normal, but ya know the normal creeks and cracks. It's an old house so it will do that. I've been re-decorating the house a lot! It's starting to look really nice, but I can't help but feel it's missing something. Something to make guest wonder where I got it from or why I have it. I went shopping at a flee market to see what I could find. I find this cute painting with a lovely wood scene. The man I bought it from was kinda sketchy, but hey 5 bucks for a good painting who can pass that up! I won't ruin the story but I should have passed it up... but anyways back to what I was saying. I took the painting home and hung it right above the mantle. I'll tell you what it did just as I thought. I had some neighbors over and they could none stop talk about the painting, but then something weird happened. One of them pointed out that it looked like there was some one in the painting. It was weird but I could see it too. When they all left I took a closer look at it. I pulled out magnifying glass to see. There was someone in the painting! A tall figure maybe 6ft in a black cloak and what looks to be a skeleton head of some sort. Scary but interesting, it would be a great talking point if I ever need one. A couple weeks past by I've had friends ask about it look at it. It was great, but then I started to notice something... w-was it getting closer? That's impossible it's just a painting. Right? The next morning I walked into the bathroom and written in I don't know what was "give it back!"
Give it back? Give what back? When I went down stairs to make breakfast I walked into the living room to see the thing in the painting was gone!! Where did it go? How did it just disappear? I went on with my day with it in the back of my head. I should have done something about it but I didn't. I went to sleep that night and about 12 am I heard a noise downstairs. I went to see what the commotion was and there was that thing staring at the painting. What are they? Who are they?
"Give it back, give it back, give it back!!"the thing yelled so loud but it's voice was so deep.
"WHO ARE YOU!! What do you want?!"
"I want that!" It pointed to the painting then just disappeared. I got scared and called the police immediately. They came and checked the house out. No sign of a break in no sign of anyone. They put me on 24 hour watch and if nothing happened nothing happened. I went to sleep the next night, but this time I woke up at 1am. The thing was standing over me looking down at me! I couldn't move or talk! The thing laid a note on me and I passed out again. When I woke up I looked and looked for the note. I finally found it laying under my pillow. It said give it back with coordinates. I looked up where this was and it was in the middle of these woods. I was so curious on what it all ment so I took the painting got in my car and started driving. About 3 hours later I arrived at the woods. I started kicking through following my gps with this big old painting. About another 3 hours later it was almost pitch black. Up ahead where the coordinates there was a ring of candles. Walked into the middle of them (bad idea on my part) and stood there.
"Hello?! Anyone here?! I brought the painting! I'm guessing it's what you want?!"
Then at least 10 people that looked like the thing I kept seeing all stepped around the circle surrounding me. They started chanting some weird words. Then I passed out.. about a week later I woke up in the hospital. A couple hikers found me in the woods passed out. I was bloody bruised. I even had fingers missing, but I recovered and returned to home. A couple nights into being home I went to my bed to lay down but what I saw was shocking. All 10 of those things where in my bedroom!!.......
