I have had several encounters with what I believe to be a demonic entity over the years and figured I would ask you all what you may know about it. First an explanation.

It started when I was 7. At this point I was in no way, shape, or form connected with the occult. I was near the woods at the edge of where I lived. As I was walking a noticed a pale gray skinned man, without clothing, with what seemed to be blade like fingers. He was staring at me with glowing red eyes. I, being seven at the time, fled to my friend as quickly as I could. I described him as the ?Stone Man? at that moment in time because he looked like stone. Eventually I told myself I must have been imagining things and moved on with my life.
At about 10 I started having strange dreams of what I had seen. I saw my old house I had lived at when I was 7. I saw "the stone man" killing a young girl where I had seen him. I had this dream several times but, again, eventually convinced myself it was nothing.
At thirteen I became more interested in demons because of the past experiences I had. I began to study where I had lived in the past, and found mention that a girl had gone missing in the area many years prior. I also began to get the feeling that what had happened in the past was not my imagination. Eventually this led to me studying magick and the founding of a group among my friends dedicated to finding answers. At 15, another group member and I were walking to my house to pick up a book for school that I had forgotten. It was around 5 a.m. (my bus came at 6) and my friend lived 2 doors down. As I was walking up the driveway, I looked up and there was the entity staring at my friend and me. I was terrified and unable to move. The entity had, what looked to be a hand, on the truck in my driveway and pushed down. The truck shifted down in the front where the things hand was and the truck?s alarm started going off. (My friend and I, mind you that I?m not a tiny guy, can jump on the truck and the alarm won?t go off.) After the alarm went off the entity and I locked eye contact. I then heard the door opening to my house and the thing ran off at an incredible pace. The door opening was my mom trying to figure out why the truck alarm was going off. She had the keys with the alarm button and turned it off. My friend and I turned around and hurriedly got away from my driveway.
At about 17 I had another experience. I had a dream of me waking up to a knock at the window. I looked at the clock which read 12:23 am. I opened the curtains and there it was again staring at me with those red eyes. I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It read 12:24. I was deeply concerned with how lucid the dream was and how the times were so close.
At about the age of 19 I had a sudden urge to go outside while it was late. I went to the back of my yard (there is also a tree line at the edge of this property, but this was a different house than my first occurrence at the age of 7; it was the same house, however, as the 15 and 17 year old occurrences.) I saw the entity walk out of the woods. Again I could not move and felt terrified, even though at this time I have had many experiences with the paranormal including occurrences with demonic entities and been fine, this thing seems to give an aura of terror. Anyway the entity came right in front of me and I heard a voice though it did not speak. I heard "we are connected,? I then lost focus on everything around me. When I became aware again I was alone. Only a few minutes had passed since I went outside (I checked my cellphone.) I then hurriedly went inside and took a shower to calm my nerves.
I am twenty now and I have the feeling I will soon see this entity again. Whenever I talk about it, it feels close. Sometimes I think I see it out of the side of my eyes.
I have had many other encounters with this entity but these are the ones I remember most vividly. I seem to dream about it at least once every few months.
I am not the only one who has seen this entity. My friend remembers it vividly from when he saw it in the driveway. The thing that is weird is that it seems to manifest physically most of the time. It also gives of the feeling of terror. I have studied in search of answers but cannot find anything about it. I know most demons really are not ?evil.? Everything I have discussed in this post has left me with many questions.

1) What is it?
2) Why is it following me?
3) What does it mean "we are connected?"
4) I am afraid of no other spirit, why does this one bother me so much?

Any comments and opinions are welcome. This is one time that I truly do not feel sure of what I am dealing with. If you have questions about any of this feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability. I have left out some due to me wanting to limit the size of this post.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this
