Unexplained Blood on My Face

(Durban, South Africa)

I first want to state that when these experiences happend to me, I was a Jehovah's Witness. They do believe that Satan and his demons are out to get you and they are very powerful and very real. I was in this religion from the age of 5 until 29. I eventually left 6 years ago.

I was 15 at the time, asleep in my room. I suddenly woke up feeling very afraid and my hands flew to my face. I felt that my face was slippery and sticky, put a finger in my mouth and tasted blood.

I got up and went to the bathroom and switch on the light. My right cheek was covered in congealed blood. A lot of it. Naturally I washed it off and proceeded to check if there was a cut on my face or a popped blood vessel, pretty much anything to explain this amount of blood.

I had a pet cat and checked her paws to see if she had bled on me somehow. I checked my sheets. There was nothing to indicate where this blood came from.

I did let my mother and father know.

At the time we had a guest, rather a friend of my father's staying with us. His name was Lucian and he read tarot cards. This of course did not sit well with my mother and I as per our belief this was an open invitation for satan and his demons to enter our home.

I still to this day cannot explain where the blood came from that night.
