The Cruster

by Diane Vivis

When I , my sister Kathy & my brother Walt. were teens, we had an encounter with what we called a "Cruster Man,, We don't know how we got the name , but each one of us say & described the same thing...

We were in our house, in the kitchen we'd see the basement door open up slightly and saw a large eye looking at us... we then see a hairy, man - like creature with a black cape, all in black with long claws, big teeth & a top hat, sitting on the 3rd step clawing at us... we screamed, and it disappeared, we were soo frightened, we would not even want to go up the upstairs steps or upstairs.... At first, everyone tried to say it was a figment of our imagination, and we know it was not, we know what we all saw.. My brother called it a Cruster.. we do not know how or why he came up with the name... but all 3 of us saw this thing and we all had the same description.

Even today, we all still can see it & it still bothers us , and we do not like to talk about it so we do not get nightmares about it or we would think it could come back.. We never saw it again, and do not want to. Some people believe that it was something evil in the house.

Yes, this still creeps all of us, we all can still remember it in detail.... My sister began to pray the Our Father .. I always felt that there was something in our house... I would not want to go upstairs or walk on the 3rd step to the upstairs for a long time... you know how you have a feeling that there is something watching you an uneasy feeling.. . even now. When I would go upstairs to clean my mothers house.. Is still would feel uneasy.... .. Maybe because I was soo scared as to what happend. A lot of people would not believe us.... but We know what we saw, esp. all 3 of us seeing & discribing the same thing.. I keep holy water by my bed still and never go to sleep with out saying my prayers .. too.. Diane

Hi Diane,

Whew, that was creepy to read about. I've heard ghostly haunts with a creature like a shadow man, it was really creepy to read about the eyeball peeking out at you. With all of you being teenagers at the time it hardly seems like this was a child's imagination.

Thank you so much for sharing your ghostly tale with us, I can see why none of you would want to bring the subject up again.

I hope a paranormal investigator read your submission and comments on it.
