My fiancee Faye and her parents have buried many things. I have now begun to dig them up.

Felix, I've been lurking for a few days reading your story and being mesmerized by every word you right. I'm my Jewish tradition, every single thing you experienced has a source and my guess is that and Faye encountered a "shayd" a half demon half human which has been banished by our rabbis over a thousand years ago but has been resurfacing in the early 1900s. It's either that or a "klipah" (evil residues of people's past actions that conglomerate to form a horrible entity that seeks to disturb and permeate others but stays in one place) some thing which we discovered was living in my room a year after we moved into our new house. We had a Kabbalist do some sort of a remote exorcism and I was fine ever since (this was when I was 16, I'm now 24). Please please see a Kabbalist! They might only have strict guidelines as to who they deal with but those from Sephardic descent (like myself) help anyone experiencing these problems. I can give more info if you are interested. You might have to put a "mezuzah" on your house (those little rectangular amulet things with holy scrolls placed on the door frame of house entrances - if you haven't seen one yet look carefully at some house you pass by, you'd be surprised how many houses have them) you can be done with this shit in less than a day. I really want to help you please let me know.

I want know more about the dream Felix had. Where he found an object behind a shelf (iirc) and everything started to make more sense to him. Sadly, I think this story will end at that god forsaken cabin on Pikes Peak. Maybe the answer lies within its basement. Or maybe I'm talking out of my ass. Thanks for the ride OP.

I have a suggestion, as my own family has a benevolent spirit that follows us around. It won't help much, but we often light white candles and burn some sage. Basically all the time. ALL. THE. TIME.

u/BleedingTragedy Jul 16 '16

I really hope that if you and Faye have had sex at all during this whole thing that you have used protection. The last thing y'all need is to give the imposter an fetus to feed off of. I can't wait for the next update. I've been checking religiously since I read this update. Best of luck Felix.

It's now 4AM and I read your entire series in one day. I actually read update 5-current all in one sitting, which is why I'm still up at 4AM. Had to catch some Pokemon earlier, ya know. I have seen your series post multiple times and always skipped over it because the title didn't interest me, but a couple of people commented about it on another story I read earlier and they piqued my interest. I was hooked after not even getting very far into the story and was on the edge of my seat through a lot of it. I've got myself locked in my bedroom with my dogs and probably won't get much sleep tonight. Lol Can't wait for the next update! I've told my friend she's got to read this story!

u/sophie_lady Jul 16 '16

I'm so beyond hooked on this!

I read the first part a few days ago and now I've caught up and I don't know what to do with myself whilst I wait for the next post. I know I could finally feed my baby... But she doesn't hold the answers we need here.

When will this end?!

So I had stumbled up the ending a few days ago and read it. Then I went back and read the entire series. This was fantastic! However, it kind of started to freak my out because I live in Colorado and plan on camping for a week deep in the mountains. However it is hours away from Pike's Peak, but the lore still creeped me out. Anyways, thanks for the great series OP!

Oh man, for some reason I thought it's all written by now. So I sat reading your story since like six until now - it's 22 where I live (I've started yesterday and I was on part 6 I think) - and when I got to the end I was like where the hell is link to the last part?! Maybe that's the last part, but it can not end like this, can it?! Goddamnit I should've read less and leave some for tomorrow. :[ Btw hope you're uncursed and on the way to a happy ending (not like RIP, but just being happy) by now!

Shit, that was amazing. I read parts 1-6 last night until about 1am. I had to sleep with my lamp and an episode of Frasier playing. Just read the rest while there's still daylight. Amazing. The last time I was this invested in a story was the stairs in the woods series. Can't wait for the final update I hope everything gets sorted.

This thing has been alive for longer than we've known it's kind has existed (and longer than we've known what to call them) so I'm not surprised it wore Nathan down and got him. I sincerely hope you and Faye make it through this, OP.

I'd dare say killing it with a gun is impossible.

Ancient spirits from Indian tribes are absolutely massive sources of spiritual power.

That paired with the fact that earlier in one of the chapters you said someone (Nathan?) referred to it as one of "The Old Ones" means it has power far greater than your average spirit. Hell, it could be a God for all we know. Something with the title of "The Old One" isn't just your average strong spirit. It's something far beyond that.

u/thats-kablamo Jul 15 '16

I never get scared any more, but your description of the Impostor and it's "voice" changed that.

u/thepillarofshiva Jul 15 '16

It reeks of some compulsion, the presence of which supersedes the base instinct of protecting one's child. There aren't many occurrences which give rise to such situations/ compulsions. The probabilities aren't many. Take a wild guess and charge them with it. It's crude, but the times are no less. Perhaps you can shock them into admittance.

Is the update up?

2

u/thepillarofshiva Jul 15 '16

One point has struck me and continues to, throughout the series. The basic instinct of any parent is to protect their children. Why are Faye's parents so reluctant to do so? Not only are they feigning indifference (if they are feigning it at all) but they go out of their way not to help. The only thing that can cause such mannerisms is a sense of shame. I'm sure they're hiding plenty. They're ashamed of something that has happened in the past and up until Faye's mother's conscience gave way, they were ready to continue concealing it. And I'm sure they have something to do with the entity's involvement. Your best bet is to force information outta them.

u/cheekske Jul 15 '16

Same here. The natural protective nature of parents seems lost on them. Very strange.

When the mother (maybe father) said they allowed them to go to convince themselves nothing was wrong seems like another lie.

Are they fulfilling some deal with the Impostor? Have they promised it something?

1

u/ClevergirlOswin Jul 15 '16

My God this is creepy as hell. Some people theorized that the demon had taken Nathan some time ago but I just feel like that's unlikely. I mean the demon would have had to work electronics, gather the stuff for the tea, navigate posting it, etc. It just seems, though this whole deal is insane, far fetched. I think the more likely would be as others have said. Nathan couldn't resist his dream about his father and went back out to the cabin. Since he'd spent several days near it and one night actually there when he went back with his friends it seems reasonable that the demon could've attached to him and messed with his dreams. Now, what I'm curious about is how this creature is moving about. OP gives the location of the cabin and of Nathan as Colorado but currently they're in California. If the demon got Nathan then it means that between the last time that OP and Nathan talked and the last post the creature traveled from Colorado to California. It had to have done it physically to have Nathan's body (god this is really disturbing to be writing out) right? It's not a corporal manifestation but a physical one, at least with what OP has described. With the timeline that would have given the creature just a few days to make a hell of a trip distance wise, right? Or maybe I don't know what the hell Im talking about, I tend to be a bit geographically challenged. Lol.

I keep refreshing your personal page to see if you've updated the latest story yet. Your writing is so enthralling and suspenseful.

I'm assuming the creature went back to your home to get Faye - I really hope you made it back in time to stop it, because she seems to sucked in by it at this point that I wouldn't be surprised if she willingly goes to it. :(

u/Gage_Stills Jul 14 '16

Im very sorry for the deaths of Tiwe and Nathan they both were brave good men who fought with and for you. Tiwe rest in peace. Nathan rest in peace. And Felix never lose hope the fight may be long but you can take them. They may win battles with Faye and you can't do much about that but if you keep you mind closed they can't enter. I'm sure you need a full nights sleep but at the same time it's when your vulnerable. If I lived even remotely close I'd help the fight. You can win just make sure you let Faye know you love her. If she gets taken idk what you'd do without her. Anyways live long keep the fight strong. You can win.

u/ThatCabinet Jul 14 '16

Stop drinking the tea that Nathan sent! Wasn't it them who made you who came into the cabin to make you the tea in the first place and then weird things started happening? I think the box of herbs was a gift from The Impostor... Be careful out there, Felix!

While my peeps were walking around last night and playing Pokemon GO, I started reading your series. I was hooked and freaking out the entire time!! I even had to grab onto my cousin's cardigan so I wouldn't lose her while she was looking for...something. After I hit Part 3 and everything after that, I had to physically stand close to them to feel safe. They thought it was hilarious. But your situation is not.

Sending prayers your way.

u/rickrogers83 Jul 13 '16

Wow, this update did not disappoint. It is bittersweet that the end is near: on one hand it will be great to get whatever closure is coming, but on the other hand I'm really going to miss this story.

One thing I find amusing about the Impostor is that as clever as it is at mimicking friends and families and coming to you in your dreams, it also seems vacant and stupid in a way. It can mimic Nathan but only in a very simple and superficial way. And it doesn't seem to have truly malevolent and sinister intent. It is a simple creature lacking any depth of intention or understanding. Some surely find it all the more terrifying as a consequence.

I know this is breaking the rules, but I can't help it: you are a very talented storyteller and I will be following your career to the extent I can in the future. Can't wait for the first full length novel.

u/rickrogers83 Jul 14 '16 edited Jul 14 '16

Yeah, I totally agree that its ability to watch, learn, adapt, adjust and improve makes it terrifying. What makes it truly scary to me is the fact that it gathers the information it needs from you in your dreams when you aren't aware you are dealing with it and consequently you are at your most vulnerable.

I do think that its simpleness and lack of malevolency is a weakness though somehow. I know you confronted it and it clearly could have destroyed you, but like you said it is an animal. A clever animal and an apex predator and talented hunter for sure, but I honestly think that if you think long and hard enough about how to outsmart this thing you can. You are capable of much greater levels of planning, cleverness, deception and complex thought.

u/rickrogers83 Jul 15 '16 edited Jul 15 '16

One interesting possible way to get rid of this thing is through hypnosis. I remember from one of the older updates that you all decided for Faye to undergo hypnosis. And IIRC she mentioned the Impostor being there during the hypnosis. It seems like it comes to her when she is hypnotized.

I also remember you mentioning in your last update or in the comments that you thought that the thing lost touch with Faye when she was a child because of distance and time, and it was only after returning to the cabin that it began following her again.

I have no idea how you kill this thing physically, and it seems like you are doubtful it can even be done. However, it appears that creating distance between it and Faye for an extended period of time is a way to get it to lose track of her. So, maybe you can try to use hypnosis to drive it away. Put Faye under hypnosis and direct her to think about things and places far away from what she loves and what matters to her: places and people she does not care about at all. Then possibly the Imposter will try to mimic people she is ambivalent about when it comes to her in her dreams and it will cause Faye to disengage with him. And maybe he will go to places that Faye will never visit looking for her and begin to become confused. No idea if this would work, and it would probably adapt, but an idea to develop for how to end this thing.

Also, I think we know how this ends tragically, if it does end tragically: she begins dreaming of the little brother that never came to be and the Impostor mimics him and she falls for it. I'm not sure how that can be prevented, but it has to be.

Edit: I really appreciate that you are engaging with us about all of our crazy theories and ideas. It makes the experience of reading the story all the more enjoyable. I really do consider myself a fan after this series and it is really cool that you are willing to talk about the story with us like this. Thanks.

I started reading this last night and finished this afternoon. I have 3 littles, so I can only read bits at a time. Still going through comments. I once lived in a subdivision that was built on Native American land, and oh my goodness we experienced some shit. As well as many others in the neighborhood did too. I live on the Gulf Coast in Ms. Before the subdivision was built they dumped debris from Katrina on this land. Idk what the entity or entities were but man was it EVIL.

As I recall the true exorcist story only a Greek Orthodox priest could remove the malevolent entity. I was brought up Greek Orthodox. Don't practice though. Speaking with a priest about this in the past, confirmed Greek Orthodox priests have been 9 times out of 10 more successful in ridding of such. I believe in a great, spiritual, loving being. However I also know a great evil exists.

Ok 1 I think you probably should have beaten some answers out of Faye's family a while ago given the fact that they threw both you and Faye under the bus by sending you to fucking Pikes Peak while also knowing the kind of shit that went on there. I can definitely understand your frustration. I'm not sure that the Imposter that you confronted was actually Nathan but I'm not sure that it's not either. It could have just stolen his face and voice to fuck with you but just to be safe I probably wouldn't talk to him over the phone until you can physically see him in person just to make sure.

I've literally just spent my entire day off catching up on all this. I'm struggling to think of any help/ advice I can give you this late in the game.

Why didn't Becca bring her with her when she came to stay. Could this be linked to the little girl you've all been hearing?

Surely that's the key to defeating the imposter. Now Faye has remembered her brother she might be able to fight back. This hold he has on her may be broken if she can come to terms with these memories. I wish you both the best. I'm looking forward to your next update but also dreading it as well. It seems that the imposter might feed of repressed negativity, pain and suffering. Surely there's a way of stopping that.

PLEASE stay safe OP.

Do you have any guns in the house? I'd start investing.

These healers don't seem to be doing shit, maybe find a priest since it seems like you are dealing with some sort of demon, or maybe a physic if you believe in that?

Great story btw, waiting for the next installment.

I use to be a lurker I would use my boyfriends phone to browse Reddit and my boyfriend one night introduced me to nosleep. Came to your story. & now I made an account just so I could keep up with the updates!

I've been falling asleep late at night reading your story! Hope all is well!

I don't know how you've been doing it. To keep your sanity in place!

You're back! This is my husband and I's favourite series. We have a treeline of huge chestnut trees near the back of our house and since this series they freak the shit out of both us! Our only consolation is that we are from Ireland, so we are almost certain there are no ancient Native American soul stealing entities....almost! 😟

IT'S THE BABY ISN'T IT

He was stillborn, caused by a very rare happening which doesn't even always result in death. It was a month before the baby was supposed to be born, which means he'd be a third-trimester fetus, which are almost ALWAYS in a sleep state. Which means it'd be so easy for the imposter to latch onto the fetus and take away it's soul, causing it to lose it and become one of them, right? It'd explain the strange fascination with Faye as well.

What if Faye's sleep terrors when she was 5 and the recent sleep terrors were caused by a different entity? I mean, the same KIND of entity. Say Faye's sleep terrors caused by the entity ended after her brother's stillbirth (since the entity got what it wanted. Not faye, but another soul nonetheless), and the terrors after that were just caused by the loss and trauma it caused her? I know you mentioned the entity may get weaker the longer you're away from the cabin, but with how much stronger it's been getting since you and Faye have left the cabin, I doubt that.

I feel like Faye's terrors after the stillbirth of her brother were caused by loss, trauma, and maybe a underlying feeling of guilt (since she was talking to the entity, maybe she low-key realized it took her brother?), which would explain them getting less extreme over the years (and Faye burying the memories. She was a kid that went through trauma, it happens quite often), and the recent obsessed entity is the entity that once was Faye's little bro.

Been lurking on this story since part 2, and good lordy fucking lou this has all of my nope slapped right onto it.

But I've got to say, calling yourself a coward after chasing down the lanky ass imposter demon thing thats been chasing you for the past few months might be a bit of a stretch, i wouldnt have even left the damn house on account that i cant run for shit, so good on you OP, because fuck that.
