I can remember this like it was just last night. The day I found out something was following me while walking home from night classes. I used to live upper Kings Hill so I would be walking up mostly dark abandoned roads with nothing but bush on either sides of the road.<\/p>\n
It would be a good 15 minutes walk till you see houses or street lights on most parts. I would walk home only if I could not hitch a ride up the hill; no bus runs after 9pm so I would be on a belle march\u00e9.<\/p>\n
It was one particular night as I walked home I saw something moving in the sky. It caught my attention right away. Moving too slow and flying too low to be a plane. I was surprised seeing this bright yellow ball of light hovering and bobbing in a zig zag motion in the sky.<\/p>\n
A cold feeling shivered over my body as the thing stopped and just hovered a few feet over the road. I was frozen in my path. I didn’t know if I should run up the hill or back down. Then with no warning the light just went out in a real freakish manner. I mean the thing just fizzled out almost in a cloaking manner.<\/p>\n
I was scared out of my skin, my stomach felt hot and started to feel the pain of fright. I never felt that way in all my life. I had no cell phone, no body was around to hear my bawls of “”Boyyy who tell me to walk home nah boy!!” I started whimpering as my mind raced for answered of WTMA was that?!! Just then I started to smell something. It was a distinctly sort of smell that to this day triggers me back to that moment when ever I smell it. It smelt of sulphur and rotten eggs mixed with a decaying death odor. This made my hair stand straight up as I started to cold sweat.\u00a0 I thought to my self WTMC is that?!! I could not take it no more. I started to run up the hill.<\/p>\n
I ran towards a fork in the road but had to stop dead in my tracks because I could not bear to take in what was in the middle of the road. Two yellow eyes in the dark BLINKING! At this point I was already holding a malvat. I shouted at the THING, “”What you want! Leave me gasa!” Then the eyes started moving in a sort of way as if the THING was laughing at me. The smell came thicker and more sour. I was paralyzed with fear. The sound of chains and a hoof beating the road was deafening like the THING was taunting me and getting ready to charge.<\/p>\n
Just then the noise of an engine burst out from down the hill followed by lights in which the eyes acted like they were closed and vanished in the dark. I flagged the ride down. It was an old “Brogadou” van and I knew the driver. I jumped inside and before I could say a word the driver told me he smell a “Diab” lower down the road and I should be careful walking these roads after dark. He then started talking about jumbies biting people on the same stretch of road. I just sat back in my chair speechless all the way home I couldn’t believe I was almost snacked on!<\/p>\n
