Cherokee Haunting

This series of events took place between myself, my uncle and one of my best friends while we were in high school. I want it to be known that my uncle is only 2 years older than me and lived with me at the time. My uncle and my friend were dating at the time of these events. I was only present for 1 of the happenings.

The entity is called a Skili. As I understand it, this thing is the product of Cherokee black magic of sorts. A person can send out part of themselves in a shadow-like form to harass or harm someone who they have an issue with, while they are physically in another location.

As I said, my uncle "A"and friend "B" were dating. They were out at the city lake one evening with some of my uncles friends just walking around holding hands. There is a tree lined walking trail around this lake and as they walked, "A" told "B" not to turn around and to keep walking. This really scared "B" and she kept asking why he said that and "A" just continued to tell her not to turn around in a low tone.

According to "A" this entity was following them in the darkness.

Later on that night, my uncle was getting dropped off at home and as they pulled up, everyone in the car saw a human/Sasquatch shaped figure in the field outside the home. It had continued to follow their crew all the way to our home. My uncle "A" got out of the car as his friends and girlfriend screamed. He began to throw rocks at the entity and it began to run across the field. When they could no longer see it, his friends and girlfriend left and he went inside.

A few days later, "A" and I were sitting in the living room watching tv in the evening. I hadn't noticed anything until my uncle pulled out his pocket knife and began to breathe heavily. I looked at him and at that moment I could feel the change in atmosphere. I could tell that we were being watched. I asked "A" if it was here. He shook his head slowly indicating that it was indeed near us. I looked around calmly and noticed a soft gold glowing figure right outside the kitchen window across from where we sat. I decided to just go to bed cause it felt weird in there. When I laid down I had the door open and hall light on. Something filled the doorway to my room in shadow. I froze in my bed. I began to quietly pray and demand that all evil leave my home. Just before it left my doorway, it let out a deep guttural growl and then disappeared.

My uncle later told me that this thing had been following him for weeks. It eventually went away, but he never told me what he did to get rid of it...
