‘It was scary, first it was on the window trying to get it, then tried the door, I closed it that second, then it started screaming, but really really loud as a person, the whole school heard it. It was creepy.’ ‘Black.’ ‘SCREAM LIKE HUMAN BUT LOUDER THAN ANY HUMAN.’ ‘I don’t think it was a ghost I’ve seen many of those and they touch and seek and throw stuff in my house, break things and levitate stuff back in Bolivia so believe me I know those ones, then aliens? I don’t know. I don’t think an alien would scream like that.’ ‘I had a similar experience when I was eleven-years-old in Argentina, in the bathroom, it was in the shape of a big insect I ignored it. Then I showered and told him I’m your queen haha, and kept talking to it mentally. Then I came out and it started to walk to me and I was like stop and then it SCREAMED, ACTUAL SCREAM, my friend was outside the door and she was like why are you screaming?? And I was like it’s not me! And then she came in and the thingy shut up and went away, but it was like human scream and Super LOUD.’
