When the lights go out, the dark has a way of showing what’s really there.

In the summer of 2014, a late-night blackout turned one man’s quiet Laguna Beach home into something out of a nightmare. Awakened by the sound of his bedroom door clicking shut, he assumed it was his father checking on him—until the power cut out completely, the world went silent, and something began testing the doorknob from the other side.

Moments later, standing in the darkened hallway, he saw it—taller than any person should be, faceless, featureless, and darker than the dark itself. The figure stood behind the living room couch, perfectly still, then leaned forward as if to listen. What followed was a night of pure terror, where the boundaries between shadow and presence blurred, and survival meant staying one step ahead of something that shouldn’t exist.

Years later, he still wakes at 2:30 a.m., remembering the hum, the silence, and the figure that watched him from the blinds. Some nights, he still wonders if it ever left—or if it’s just waiting for the next blackout.
