Demon Owl
My husband is Mexican and shortly after we met, he told me about a supernatural creature that's native to his culture. It's called Lachusas (sp) and it's a winged demon that can also take shape as an owl. Basically they fly around and hide in the trees and stalk people until it's the right time, then they invade their minds and homes and the victim often sees things or hears voices whispering sinister things to them until the Lachusas has gone.They are evil creatures and they prey on those with strong Christian faith, trying to strike fear and doubt in them.
Around the first of the year, I awoke in the middle of the night to feel my husband struggling and mumbling to himself. Next thing I know, he shoots out of bed in a rage and punches a hole in our wall! When I asked him what the hell was going on, he told me there was a Lachusas in the room standing over him trying to strangle him and that the whispers in his head were telling him I was next. He gathered all the faith and strength that he could and backed the creature up against the wall and punched it in the face. I didn't see the creature, but he said that after the punch it sort of evaporated anyway. When we turned on the light, we could see that he was bleeding from where his fist hit it's tooth, and that the hole in the wall wasn't from my husband's hand, but the back of the Lachusas's head.

Has there been any other reports of this creature around your area around the same time as your experience?

I don't know about reports, and I've only talked about it with a few other people of Mexican descent, but they've all heard similar stories, although none have ever claimed to have their own encounters. But, remember what I said about them preying on those with strong Christian faith? Turns out, they've followed my father in law and his family from Texas all the way to Kansas and back, and everywhere they've moved in between. Now they follow my husband as well. I've never seen one in the demon form, but I've heard them follow me above in the trees by our old apartment and seen a huge white owl (not exactly a common sight in Texas) watching me in the lot where I walked my dog.

I find it strange how people of different cultures tend to have the same/similar lores around them follow them rather than encounter localized spirits/creatures. Very interesting.

well Shadow, unfortunately the hole does not still exist, we had to have maintenance repair it before we left the apartment. Had I been a part of this website before or while it happened, I definitely would have snapped a picture for ya'll. I could maybe describe it in more detail: The indention was a little bigger around than a grapefruit and about 3-4 inches deep...it kind of tapered in at the deepest point, like a wedge, which is like the shape of the back of the creature's head. I do know that he wasn't just dreaming and hit the wall himself, because there was blood on his knuckles, but not on the wall.

The only demon owls I've heard of before would be the one called Stolas. But this sounds VERY different from him.

well your husband did the right thing to snap out of it. ive been under the effects of sleep paralysis nymerous times and your husbands story is creepily similar to how i always power through to break it. makes me wonder about all those trips to the woods ive taken over the years, wonder if any owls followed me home (dad's a pastor and im the strongest christian most of my friends know. even done some exorcist work being as how ive dealt with paranormal since i could remember). the disipation is normal, but still fun to watch. the main thing to keep in mind is, just because it dissipated doesn mean its gone.

To bubbles, uh, thanks? No, really, it's so funny to me that some people comment to these stories saying "Oh, that's crap!" or "I like to remain skeptical, do you have proof?" It doesn't make an ounce of sense to me that a person would come on here and make something up for shits and giggles, people are here to share their stories and gain some perspective. Not to be called a liar, or a dumb kid with an imagination. (sorry, I've seen some outright awful accusations in the comments of other stories, and it makes me want to slap them FOR the people who were bold enough to share. What are closed-minded pricks even DOING on this site?) So again, thanks.
