It was Halloween night, and right before I was going to take my kids trick or treating, my phone rang. It was my boss calling me telling me that I needed to be at work as soon as possible, and to bring all of my gear. I went upstairs, put on my SWAT uniform, grabbed my riot shield, and grabbed my tactical assault rifle. Then I went outside to get in my car and head to work. Whenever I arrived at work, I had to get the rest of my gear on and load up into the armored truck. We were on our way to an abandoned mental asylum, because of a report of a suspicious figure seen through a window. It was 1:30 in the morning, when the truck I was in arrived at the mental asylum. We were waiting outside of the asylum for about an hour before all of the SWAT trucks arrived. Once everyone was situated, and took their position we waited until we saw movement in the asylum.

Then all of a sudden one of the men on the squad walked to the front of the formation and said “Sergeant, I saw movement on the top floor.” Once the agent went back to his position, we approached the building slowly and with caution. As we walked inside the asylum, we sheard footsteps from the floor above. After 15 minutes we had searched the 1st floor of the building, and had 24 more to search. While walking up the stairs to the second floor, a knife flew down the stairs and almost hit someone. Immediately everyone turned on their laser sights. Then we continued searching the building. After 45 minutes of searching, more paranormal activity started. Knives, chairs, tables, and medical equipment were continuously flying down the hallway towards us.

And then it started, within 5 seconds there were 8 men missing, never to be seen agan, and the last thing heard from them was a scream. Instantly the whole team switched into a tactical defensive formation. An hour passed by, so we continued searching the building. Everything was good until we got up to floor 15, and 45 agents vanished without any sort of clue to where they were at. What we saw whenever we walked up the stairs to floor 16, those images will never be forgotten. What everyone saw was all of the 50 men that had disappeared dead, nailed to the walls going up the stairs. Then it appeared again but visible this time. The creature was at least fifteen feet tall, covered in blood, with teeth about 3 feet long. Instantly I shout “fire” and all of the 200 men left fired 50 shots at the monster. The monster showed no signs of being hurt, and then suddenly all of the bullets started firing back at us.

The returning fire from the monster killed a total of 175 agents. With only 25 men left we were about to leave the asylum, almost losing hope. Then I told the remaining agents we have to do it for the families of the fallen agents. When I looked up, I noticed that the monster looked weak. I informed the remaining agents. We all were confident again, and started searching for the creature again. Then we heard what sounded like one of the dead agent’s voices so we ventured to where the voice was coming from. And then we heard a loud growling noise, and one of the agent Hall screamed “WE BOUTTA GET MERKED '' All of us busted out laughing. Until the creature attacked again and I was the only man standing. I instantly started running down the stairs to escape the building. And then I stepped on a booby trap and fell through every floor of the building.
