 The Library That Hid a Cursed Book and a Demonic Secret

This happened back in 2010. There was an old library in our area where students would often go to study. A boy named Lucas, who was quite handsome and charming, had recently moved into our neighborhood. He got admitted to our school as well. Lucas was very intelligent and quickly became well-known among everyone. Some boys at school grew jealous of him and started planning something against him.

Lucas used to stay in the library until late — everyone knew this. So, a few boys who were jealous of Lucas and known for their mischief went to the library that day and pretended to talk to Lucas in a friendly manner. Secretly, they mixed something in his water and offered it to him. As soon as he drank it, Lucas fell unconscious. Those four boys dragged Lucas to the back section of the library and laid him down there.

After a while, the library was about to close. The guard asked the boys, Is there anyone else inside? They lied and said, No, just us. And with that, the boys left, leaving Lucas alone inside the library.

When Lucas woke up, it was dark. He panicked and turned on his mobile flashlight. He couldn’t understand where he was. He tried to calm himself and sat on a chair, slowly remembering everything — the boys, the drink, and how he had passed out. He tried to make a call, but there was no signal. He couldn’t reach anyone.

Terrified, Lucas began running around in the dark library, but the entire place was locked and pitch black. He started shouting loudly, but nobody outside could hear him. Soon, he felt like someone was behind him. He turned around using the flashlight, but there was no one. Then he began to hear humming. Who could possibly be with him in that dark library? He thought it must be the same boys playing a prank.

He asked, Who’s there? Who is it?

The Strange Black Book Hidden in the Library’s Shadows

Suddenly, he heard something crash behind him in the library. Frightened, Lucas quickly searched for a switch and turned on a few lights. He saw some books had fallen off the shelves at the back. As he picked them up, he found a strange black book. The moment he touched it, a strong electric shock ran through his body. Lucas quickly pulled back, but something about the book fascinated him. He couldn’t resist. He picked it up again and sat on a chair to read it.

As soon as he opened the book, he felt a strange presence around him. He told himself it was nothing, just a trick of his thoughts. The book was written in an unfamiliar language, with weird and disturbing pictures of terrifying creatures. One image showed a large sheep-like face with two huge horns, and many other strange illustrations that sent chills down his spine. Scared, Lucas shut the book.

As soon as he closed it, a horrifying-looking woman appeared in front of him, yelling loudly:

It wants your soul! It wants your soul!

Lucas froze in fear. The woman was so terrifying that his heart felt like it would stop. Her voice was so piercing that blood started dripping from his ears. Suddenly, everything returned to normal.

Lucas realized there was something very wrong with that book. He pushed the book aside and tried to stand up but suddenly, someone grabbed his hand. Trembling, Lucas turned around and saw the same horrifying woman holding his hand, grinning in a terrifying manner.

She said again:

It wants your soul! It wants your soul!

And she pushed him hard. Lucas crashed into a bookshelf and was badly injured. The woman kept repeating:

It likes you now... it won’t leave you!

Lucas tried to gather strength and get up again, but he was too hurt and collapsed. Just as he was about to pass out, he saw a massive, monstrous creature with huge horns — a truly terrifying beast. And with that, Lucas blacked out.

The Demonic Creature That Possessed Lucas Through the Cursed Book

By morning, Lucas found himself lying in a hospital bed. After regaining consciousness, he told his mother everything — about the book, the strange occurrences, and everything that happened to him. The boys responsible were caught as well.

Lucas’s mother comforted him. But Lucas kept repeating:

Mom it’s going to kill me. That creature… it was huge and terrifying!

His parents, in distress, got in touch with Father John — someone known in the church for dealing with dark forces. After hearing the whole story, Father John explained that it wasn’t just a regular haunting — it was a demonic entity that had latched onto Lucas through that book.

Father John went to the library to search for the book, but it was nowhere to be found. The library staff also claimed to have no knowledge of such a book ever existing.

To save Lucas, Father John said, they would have to perform an exorcism — or else, something terrible could happen.

He noticed a strange mark on Lucas’s hand, and upon seeing it, explained that the demonic force had marked Lucas — it had chosen him. Lucas’s soul was pure and innocent, and such spirits seek out souls that are spiritually weak or vulnerable.

The next day, Father John, along with Father Peter, began the exorcism at Lucas’s home after getting permission. Lucas’s mother described that during the ritual, the entire house began shaking, things were falling over, and the lights started flickering. Amid all this chaos, they saw the demonic entity in the mirror — and everyone was petrified.

The entity had a sheep-like face, massive horns, and a gigantic body. It was a terrifying creature.

Despite this, Father John and Father Peter continued the exorcism without flinching. Suddenly, the mirror shattered with a horrifying sound — and everything went still.

The exorcism had succeeded. The demonic creature was gone. The mark on Lucas’s hand also disappeared. Lucas and his parents thanked Father John and Father Peter, and everything slowly returned to normal.

A few days later, Lucas had recovered. One night, while sleeping, he woke up to a strange noise. As he looked around the room, he saw the same woman from the library standing in the corner — staring at him with a terrifying smile.

She said:

“Lucas… it wants your soul... it likes you now... it will never leave you…”

And as she spoke, the same mark reappeared on Lucas’s hand.
