I was watching Dead Files on the Travel Channel tonight. I don't usually watch paranormal shows because they've lost interest to me over the years, or sometimes I'll watch an episode that disturbs me so much I swear off paranormal shows altogether. There are very few episodes that disturb me enough to not watch the show again. I was lucky enough (sarcasm) to run into such an episode tonight.
Before I begin I'd like to ask that people keep their "rah rah paranormal is bull♥♥♥♥ it's all fake/bogus/there's no scientific evidence rah rah rah" BS that I usually get when I talk about paranormal shows online. This is not a debate about the validity of paranormal activities/shows. Thanks.
Anyway,
this is the episode I watched.
Nothing particularly scary happened until Amy (the show's medium/spiritualist) saw this gremlin thing...she had an artist sketch it out. I wish I could find the image in question, but the show just aired tonight and like hell am I looking it up on google. If you're curious, google it yourself.
Anyway, what disturbs me the most about this "gremlin-thing" she described was not so much its appearance, but it's abilities. Apparently, it can "tag" living people of its choosing and take their souls when they die. Just like "lol tag you're it" and then your soul belongs to it when you die. Not your body or your mind. Your soul. If I had to describe its appearance as something, think Gollum from the animated version of The Hobbit, only bigger, taller, with three fingers on each hand and pupil-less eyes. From the artists' sketch, it kinda looked like a human with this flat, frog-like face with long greasy hair. It gave me the willies and I'm trying my damdest to get the image out of my head. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual. I believe things like that exist. I just like to tell myself otherwise because I don't like to think about some of the disturbing ♥♥♥♥ I've seen IRL.
Yup don't think I'll be sleeping tonight.
