Остров Кефалония
Greece

The witness ' family had been vacationing in the area for several months, and on the night of the full moon they went to bed, the witness sleeping alone in his room. The bed faced the door leading to the living room. The window to the left was wide open, and a bright moon shone in.

About one o'clock in the morning, the witness was suddenly awakened by a presence in the room. He slowly raised himself up on the bed and saw a tall, slender, black, dark creature enter through the window.

The witness was convinced that he was now fully awake and aware of his surroundings. He couldn't see his face, his hands, or his feet. He looked like he was wearing a long black cape with a hood.

As soon as he stood at the foot of the bed, he began to read the Byzantine Bible texts in a raspy, inhuman voice, for a minute or less. The witness tried to scream and move, but felt tied to the bed. The witness could not move while the figure stood and read its texts. The witness tried to cross himself with his fingers, but could not.

A few moments later, his mother, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up and went to his room on the right. As soon as she entered his small room, the creature instantly jumped out of the window.

Obviously, she saw the figure, as she asked the witness:

“What was that there?”

A few minutes later, she told the witness that she heard someone singing, but couldn't make out what it was. His mother thought it might be the island's patron saint who had paid him a visit (?).
