The 11-year-old witness lived with his family in a three-level duplex, his bedroom was located on the third floor. From his bed, he could see the long third-floor corridor. He could also see the door of his parents ' bedroom and half an open staircase with a railing that went up from the second floor.

One night, as he lay awake in bed (the rest of the family had gone to bed a few hours earlier), he felt someone coming up the stairs from the second floor. 

When he turned his head to look, he saw a glowing red creature the size of a human slowly climbing the stairs to the third floor. The entity was semitransparent and remained consistently changing direction to ascend the corridor to the witness in his bedroom. 

Reaching the doorway of his bedroom, he slid right (left) to the window on the other side of his room. He paused at the window for a moment.

a moment before retreating exactly as he had come. After an eternity (probably just a few seconds), his shock-induced paralysis broke, and he flew out of bed and down the hall to his parents ' room, where he slept under the covers at the foot of their bed for the rest of the night.

Original news

Location. Des Plaines, Illinois
Date: 1972 Time: night
The 11-year old witness lived with his family in a tri-level duplex, his bedroom
located on the third floor. From his bed, he could see down the long third-floor
hallway. He could also see his parent’s bedroom door, and half of the open railed
staircase that came up from the second floor.
One night as he lay sleepless in bed (the rest of the family had gone to bed hours
before) he sensed someone coming up the stairs from the second floor. When he
turned his head to look he saw a man-sized, glowing, red entity, it was gliding slowly
up the stairs to the third floor. The entity was translucent, and it remained
consistent when changing directions to come up the hall towards the witness in his
bedroom. Once it reached his bedroom doorway, it glided to its right, (his left)
towards the window on the other side of his room. It lingered at the window for a
moment before retreating exactly as it had come. An eternity later (probably only a
few seconds) his shock induced paralysis broke, he flew out of his bed and down the
hall to his parent’s room where he slept under the covers at the foot of their bed for
the rest of the night.
