The Love Field Shadow Man

August 13th, 2013
The rain woke me up in the morning.I don't mind the rain.It always puts me in a good mood.Hearing the raindrops hit the roof of my house while the thunder roars with excitement.Oh how I love the rain.My baby cousin came over to spend the day with us because my aunt had to work so she brought her over so my grandma can watch her.I got a call from my friend saying he was gonna come over too so I knew this day was gonna be awesome.But this awesome day turned out to be a bad day.It started when my friend told me told me this weird rumor about how the alleyways are haunted by this mysterious thing.I'll start from when he comes over.I'm not gonna give out his name so he will be labeled as "friend" I remember the conversation well.

(knock on the door)

Me:Come in!!

(friend enters)

Friend:Hey man! thank god I made it on time.It looks like its gonna rain hard again.I would of been stuck outside getting wet

Me:Hahaha you got that right.Well whatsup man?

Friend:Nothing much.Just been hanging out.What about you?

Me:The same.Just been playing games all day

Friend:Thats all you do! you need to get out!

Me:Hey don't worry about me haha so anything new?

Friend:Oh yeah I forgot to tell you lastnight about something

Me:What is it?

Friend:Have you ever heard about the story of the shadow man?

Me:Shadow man?

Friend:Yeah the shadow man.You never heard about it?

Me:No I never heard about it

Friend:Oh well theres this story about how in 70s there use to be this guy that lived in Love Field who lived in this big shady house.People were scared of him because they said he looked really mean and creepy.He never liked walking on the side walks so he will go in the back to the alleyway and walk to where ever he was going.But one night it got late and he was walking in the alleyway back to his house when he saw a couple of teenage boys in his backyard breaking his flower pots,making a mess and destroying the windows.He confronted them but didn't say anything.They stopped with they're doing and went up to him.One of the boys said "what you looking at freak!? You don't belong here! We want you out now!" They punched him till he he fell to the ground and they stared kicking him.They were yelling "We don't want you here!" They stopped and laughed at him.They packed up and got ready to leave.As they were leaving the guy got up real quick,pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the teens in the back.The others looked shocked as they see their friend bleeding and fell the ground dead.They screamed and ran away.They called the cops.The cops came and surround his house yelling for him to come out with his hands up.They got no response back so they had no choice to break in.They kicked the door down and searched the house.They couldn't find him so they went to the back.One cop noticed the gate door was open that leads to the alleyway.He went out and found the guy dead.He killed himself by stapping himself 5 times in the chest.They also found a note that looked like it was written by him.It said "I'll be back" So till this day they said he haunts the alley ways of Love Field every night.Just walking.People said they seen a tall black figure walking in the back of their alleyways at night saying that thats the guy that killed himself.He still haunts to this very day

Me:Good story but I don't think its true.I don't believe in ghost's

Friend:Its true man! I seen him one time!

Me:Yeah right! Lets just play some PS2 and forget all this!

Friend:Ok ok ok! Geez!

Me:hahaha

We sat there and played PS2 for hours and hours.In those hours I was thinking about the so called shadow man.I don't know why I was thinking about it.Ghost are not real.It's all just an urban legend.I need to stop thinking about it.I took it off my mind by just focusing on the game.My little cousin came in and said that she was gonna go outside and play.I told her to stay by the house and not to go out anywhere.She said ok and left.My friend phone was ringing.It was his mom and she wanted him to come back home to finish his chores.He told me that he was gonna come back tomorrow to hang out again.I said ok bye.When he left everything was silent.I got on my bed and layed down looking at the ceiling.As I layed there I begin to fall asleep.My eyes closed slowly.I was trying to stay awake but I couldn't keep my eyes open to I just fell asleep.This is where I had a creepy dream.I dreamed that I was in the alleyway with my friend walking to the store.But all of a sudden we see this big black figure standing in the middle of the alley.We stopped and stared at it.We noticed it was moving slowly to us.Like it was floating.My friend screamed and told me to run but I couldn't move.My friend ran away as I started to scream for him to help me.I couldn't move my arms,I couldn't move my legs.The shadow man was coming closer and closer.When he finally got to me I let out a loud scream than woke up.I was breathing heavily and sweaty.I was really scared but it was all a dream.I got up and wiped the sweat from my face.My friend shouldn't have told me that story.So I thought everything was alright.It was just a dream.Hes not real.Its all made up.I went back to my bed and turned on the tv.My baby cousin came in with picutres she drew and asked if I wanted to see them.I said "Sure let me see them" She was showing me picture after picture of what she drew outside.She drew trees,houses,cars,birds,everything.When she got to last picture my body froze.My eyes wide open.I couldn't say anything.What she drew shocked me.I started to panic.She drew this big dark figure that looks like its wearing a hat but the eyes were red.I told her "what is this" she said "I made a new friend! He came out from the alley and came up to me.I told him if he wanted to play and he said yes.We played till grandma told me to come in.I stold him bye and he went back to the alley.I don't know his name but hes really nice" I was shaking in panic.My eyes was on the drawing."This can't be real" I said to myself.I told her if I can I have it and she said yes.My aunt had came to pick her up so she left.I scanned the picture on my scanner and saved it to my computer.This is the picture



I tries emailing it to my friend to show him but it keeps saying "Fail to send" I tried about 10 times and still got the same message.I decided to wait and show him tomorrow when he comes.I looked at the picture one last time before I left to go eat.I told me myself repeatedly "This can't be real.This can't be real.This can't be real.This can't be real.This can't be real" I said that about 100 times.I finally got over it and left for dinner.I put the drawing in my drawer.

After I ate I felt better.I forgot about the whole thing.I went back to my room and got ready for bed.I got into my night clothes and got into bed.I turned on the tv and watched a few episodes on adult swim.I stayed up watching tv till 2 AM.I know I shouldn't have took that nap during the day.Now I can't sleep.So I just layed there and continue watching tv.All of a sudden I heard a noise outside.It sounded like the trash can fell over.Its probably those racoons again.My house is the last house on the block so theres an alleyway right there next to my room.'''I looked outside my window and didn't see anything.I layed back down.This time the neighbors dog started barking.Everyone in Love Field owns a dog.So I looked again and I saw the neighbors dog looking to his left barking at something.I tried looking to the left but couldn't see anything.Than all of a sudden the dog stopped barking.The dog got scared and ran away crying.I tried looking again and this time I saw something dark.It was just standing there.It started moving slowly.Slowly towards me.When it got to my window it stopped.The head turned slowly to me.The eyes were red.I panicked and closed the blinds and got under my covers.At this point I was shaking and panicking.I was sweating in fear grinding my teeth till they started to bleed.All of sudden it started tapping on my window.*Tap tap tap...tap tap tap....tap tap tap... tap tap tap..* I said "Go away! Go away! Go Away now! Go Away!!!" My dad came in and said "Whats wong?!?!" I pointed at the window and said "Hes out there!!!" He opened up the blinds and looked.He said "Whats out there?" I looked and and he was gone.He said "You probably had a bad dream.Its ok its all over.Try to get some sleep now" I tried telling him that I wasn't dreaming and that there was some one there.He turned off my tv and left.I layed down and closed my eyes.I said to myself "Hes not real." till I fell asleep.'''

I woke up today with a text from my friend saying he couldn't make it today that he was gonna come tomorrow.I text him back saying "hes real" but he didn't text me back.I got up and open my drawer to get clothes but I noticed the drawing was gone.I looked everywhere in every drawer but couldn't find it.Its gone.But good thing I have it saved to my coputer.Right now its gonna be 10 PM  and I'm getting ready for bed.Nothing strange is happening right now but I will update this tomorrow when I wake up.I hope he doesn't come again tonight....
