It was late at night when Kim heard scratching on her bedroom window. What was it? She went to look out the window but nothing was there. As she walked away, the glass shattered and something came in. The lights were off, so she could not see what it was. She was terrified. She went to turn on a light, nothing happened. Whatever that was, it cut off the power.

She went to grab her cell phone to call 9-1-1. She pushed the 9, BANG, something fell and broke. She got so scared that she dropped her phone. When she knelt down to pick it up, something brushed against her leg. She screamed and starting running for the front door. However, the thing was faster than her.

It beat her to the door. The thing started to make this horrible sound, like it was screeching. What was this strange thing? Kim ran away and the thing jumped on her back. She was in tears, screaming louder than she has ever screamed. Apparently, not only did the thing jump on her, it also bit her. She could feel the blood running down her neck.

It had claws sharper than any knife she had ever seen. It had teeth bigger and sharper than an arrow head. She still had no clue what it was.

She tried to get the thing in the light so she could see it was. However, she failed.

One of the neighbors heard the screaming and called 9-1-1. Once the police arrived, Kim was dead in her bedroom. She had bite and claw marks all over her body. They were quite deep and very gruesome. There was writing on the wall. It was written in her blood. "If you hear a noise and look to see what it was, then beware. If it is me that you hear, then you will be next."

To this day, that creature is still unknown.
