Have you ever heard about a demon that knows how to mimic a person, they can transform themselves to look like you, act like you, and talk like you. But when they show their true form, they’re absolutely terrifying. This story is about a family that dealt with this demon. A long time ago a family moved into a Victorian house from the 1900s, the house was in pristine condition on the outside and on the inside looked like it did in the 1900s except the electric was updated, it had all the original woodwork, wood paneling, wallpaper, and wainscoting, and the original hardwood floors. Even all the original paintings of the family in the house. The was beautiful and the Dooley family was excited to have their house and start a new life in a new place in Murray Island, Connecticut. The rooms upstairs were huge, and each bedroom had a balcony, but house had two full baths. Before the Dooley’s moved in there lived there for a while and suddenly moved out in the middle of the night being terrified. It was such a beautiful house inside and out what was wrong thing it? No one in the neighborhood could understand. The Dooley’s loved their new house and the kids couldn’t wait to spend the night in their new rooms. The Dooley’s had four kids two boys and two girls; the girls were older, and boys were younger, and they all had a fairly good relationship and got along. The kids are exploring the house and have gone in the basement now the basement was old, damp, and uber creepy it looked dilapidated the walls were made from stone that was laid from hand and dirt from the outside was coming in and it smelled not only of dampness but like death ; and there a door that looked it went to an old root cellar but now it was locked and boarded up. The basement was huge, and the kids were playing hide and seek and the boys hiding in the basement and the girls were searching the house for their brothers and their parents were unpacking boxes in the kitchen. The boys were giggling in the basement and whispering to each other saying how their sisters would never find them down here. A voice coming from the room that was boarded up and it said “we’re going to find you” the boys thought it was their sisters messing with them so they stayed where they were and were quiet, the voice kept repeating itself over and over; the boys didn’t pay any attention to this voice because they still thought it was their sisters, but the voice is growing louder and more intense, and the door begins to violently shake, and now the voice is yelling, now the boys are terrified and begin yelling and running upstairs and they told their parents what happened, they tell their kids don’t worry it’s just your imagination go run along and unpack your boxes. The thing about a mimic demon is that it can move quickly from place to place. The game of hide and seek is over the kids are upstairs unpacking their packing their boxes, the girls are in their room and the boys in theirs. Now the girls were helping each other put their stuff away and they both began hearing a voice and it sounded exactly like their brothers, the voice was laughing and giggling, and saying “I’m going to find you” the girls looked at each other and it happened again and it grew louder it sounded like it was coming from the attic and the girls dropped everything and became curious thinking that the voice they heard belonged to their brothers, they pull down the attic door and climb up the steps one in front and other behind. The older sibling pops her head into the attic and looks around for a light and pulls the string and the light comes on blinding her at first, she looks around and listens but there is dead silence then all of sudden this thing comes slinking out of the shadows and comes towards the girls, it looks like her brother at first, then it’s face would change then it’s body, now it looked her younger sister, and now it was transforming into her parents. It’s coming towards her hissing; the older sister can see it’s red eyes looking right at her she screams as she sees it’s true form and it was beyond scary, scaring her younger sister who slipped the ladder; she’s hurt had sprained her ankle and older sister is mumbling and babbling over what she saw and she told her sister what she had seen, by the look in her sister’s eyes she knew she wasn’t lying. And things would only get worse from here on out.
The boys are still unpacking and screwing around. The mimic was now in the boys’ closet. The boys are on the floor wrestling and horsing around and they heard the voice again this time it sounded like their mother yelling at them to stop but little did they know their parents were talking in the kitchen as they unpacked the boxes. The voice was close, and the boys thought it was coming from their parents’ room not theirs. They yell to their mom “sorry”, but the mother yelled back “you boys are fine”. The boys stopped and listened for a second and the voice said something again, this time it sounded like the father. By this time, the boys were getting freaked out and didn’t know what to think; so, they walked to their closet and slowly opened the door and it creaked and there it stood in front of them the thing looked their father, then yet again it transform into his younger brother, then his sisters, then himself. Before either of could scream it showed it’s true self and came at them from the closet. Both boys are screaming and running to their sisters and told them what had happened, and the girls told the boys the same story. Now the siblings didn’t know what to do or think let alone tell their parents because they knew they would never believe them. They all pinky swore to each other to keep it a secret between the four of them. Now it’s dinner time and parents call the kids down to see if they want to order a pizza and of course the kids agree, and the dad runs out to the store and to grab a pizza. After an hour goes by the dad comes home with plates and napkins, and soda, and the family all sits down to eat. After a long day of unpacking the parents had retired to their room, and kids had showered and gone to bed. The dad had fallen asleep and was snoring and the mother was in bathroom getting the tub ready to take a bath, it was around eleven and the house was quiet at least for now. The mother had finished filling up the tub and had sat down in the hot bath water. Meanwhile in the basement the mimic was making its way upstairs, crawling like a snake on its belly going towards the parents’ bedroom, it slowly opened the door as it creaked a little bit and slid into the room, it watched as the dad slept, it continued into the bathroom as it opened the door the mom was reading and thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye, she turned to look and there it was this time it was it in it’s true form and was making its way towards her, she screamed and screamed, now the father heard his wife screaming thinking there was an intruder grabbed the bat next to the bed and picked it and went towards the bathroom then he saw it was taken aback, the thing lunged at him and the father hit the wall hitting the back of his head the mom is standing in the bathroom with a towel on, she’s completely in shock and still screaming. The father gathers himself and swings at this thing in front him, it jumps back and the father misses. The father came at the demon again this time striking it on its side and growls and hisses. By this time, the kids hear their mom screaming and the commotion coming from their parents’ room they get up and investigate and here’s they find. The father and demon are now on the floor fighting the demon then gets up growls and hisses and flees the room, it went back into the basement where it lived. That night the kids decided to tell the parents what happened, and the parents believed them because each of the family members of that house had their own experience and they all believed each other. After seeing what they all saw, they agreed to pack everything up and move out and never look back. So, the family gathered all their belongings repacked the truck and left in the middle of the night. Now this house in Murrays Island stands empty and up for sale again waiting for the next family to move in.
