Don't be scared Mini-Me...

So this might be a kind of dorky thing to do, but hey, this is me we're talking about. I took my camera to work tonight and got pictures of the Demon Door. They came out rather well as far as the detail in the grain so hopefully some of you can see this atrocity too. The rest of you... eh, you are just skeered and don't want to admit it... =)

Come ON... just look at that face!!! Horns, eyes, furrowed brow...

Here's a full length view. Now it looks like a demonic antelope or something...

I don't know, the thing has just creeped me out since I've worked there, which has been 2 1/2 years. I had to break the silence and it was either via blog or Jerry Springer.

Now that I've taken a picture of it (and posted it on the internet, no less) I would hope that hasn't released some spirit and placed some sort of Demon Door curse or hex on me. Then again, if it does, maybe I will go on Jerry Springer...

"Women and the door-demons that haunt them; open and closed cases?" Next! On Springer!

>> Since I wrote this post I have been plagued, plagued I tell you, with giant crickets. Oh no! It's the demon door curse! Ok, not so much plagued as, uh, visited by two rather large crickets. But they were in my house! And truthfully, I've never seen crickets this big. I found them about 15 minutes apart and approximately 8 feet from one another. Aww... they were friends... yeah, mutant friends... honestly, never so loud or large in my life. Do they travel in herds now? Sheesh! If I find a third I am sooo sleeping in my car tonight.

And yes, I was nice and scooped them up and put them back outside.

For a second there, I thought that title was for me.
Anyway, I think that by taking the picture, you actually captured the demon's evil-ness. Just look at the picture, the face is actually frozen in a look of utter terror, à la The Scream.
Now, if we're talking of the "demon" that the other bigger demon had tried to assimilate (smaller face inside the bigger face, yeah?), I think he's good. And by taking a picture of him, you have acknowledged his reality, so now good things are going to happen to you.
Do not break the chain. Send this to 57.5 of your best friends... sorry. I meant it about the good things though.

Wow, big giant wingéd demon dorr you got there. Maybe its a wooden version of a balrog?

Nice pic. When I saw it, the first thing that sprang to mind was, "This is why bats should not drink and fly". Come to think of it there is an uncanny resemblance to Christian Bale in his bat suit. Could this mean that you have a Christian Demon?

I see the demon in the door! If I were you I'd find me a priest to exercise that demon right out of there. I'm always seeing things like that in the weirdest places, like patterns in curtains, wallpaper, anything with some sort of pattern I find monsters or demons or just weird things in them. It's good to know that others see things like that.

I think your door-demon might be related to 'Alien' - there's an uncanny resemblence there. Or is it the aliens in Independence Day I'm thinking of?
So now you know ur not crazy (in this instance anyway) cos we can all see the thing too. Or maybe just looking at a photo of it has brought us under its spell too...! (cue spooky music here)
Glad u put the crickets outside - they might've been honeymooners & you would've ended up with a bunch of baby crickets in your house that would've out-squeaked your shoes.

I want one!
A demon door I mean

Thank gawd it's not just me. Whenever I get a haircut I have to state at a demon frog imbedded into the wood paneling in front of the chair. I can tell you there are spirits buried under there wiating for their chance to come out of the underworld they inhabit.

NOW I understand !

The back of one our toilet doors at work has long since had three huge Marsian grasshopper heads on it, one boss leader and two foot soldiers.

I always thought "God, whatever you do, don't tell people you can see these things......"

;o)

Anne - You know, maybe it was a subliminal dedication! =) I think Munch would have definitely liked this door. Your rationalization in this matter is quite a fine thing. Unfortunately I don't have 57.5 friends so I'm screwed anyway... =)

Fence - Well, I suppose a wooden version is preferrable, right? That sort of traps it, right? RIGHT?!

Kyknoord - Lol... and I do like bats! As far as Christian Demons... does this mean Oral Roberts and Jimmy Swaggert are closing in on me? Ugh... I may opt for the demon over either of them.

JohnH - It's good to know that others see these sorts of things. It's at work, so it does kind of fit in - it is like a pit of hell at times.

Beelze - Hahaha! Do you know how much restraint it will take for me to NOT do that! Come to think of it, I think I'll start cutting little hats, pipes and glasses out of paper and taping them on. I'll simply explain that is all part of the healing process! Crickets? Good? WooHoo... I've always liked them but truly... these were giants. And two of them...

Terri - I'm glad that others can see this thing! Of course this may not say much about the lot of you! =) You know, I did have a brief 'freak-out' moment thinking about cricket offspring. They definitely out squeak my shoes! I'd swear they had little mics and amps hidden somewhere. Perhaps that's why they 'thudded' when they landed...

Motor - I'll gladly sell you this one. Shipping to the UK may be a bit costly but we'll figure something out.

Wayne - I immediately fell into fits of laughter when I read your comment! Thanks... I needed that!

Lady S - I think I see what you mean about the diver. Then as soon as I think I've got it, all I can see is that demon staring back. But those would be some skinny-ass legs!

Heidi - I'm thinking of decorating him for each holiday... like people do with lawn ornaments and such! I'll make sure to take pics!

Champurrado - Hi there! 'Demon Frog'... that is fabulous! I love frogs so I'd probably like it in some odd sort of way.

Carpy - So, you caught on? =) Grasshopper heads... that's another cool one! I bet Champ's demon frog could give them a run for their money! As far as your final thought... I don't have that internal filter... =)

Greg - Aahh! Cicadas; definitely noisy. And they never, EVER shut up! I've only found three this year but can hear them; most likely from your house! I AM a fan of hot sauce.... =)

Champurrado said...

still gives me the willies, just the same. Should be a law, ya know?

Jen Jordan said...

Curious - where does the door lead?

Wow,that is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. My shower curtain has evil faces on it.

LiVEwiRe said...

Champurrado - I do agree. Can we start a petition?

Jennifer - Boring... one of the main hallways in the hospital. It's not on the outside, just on the inside.

Skrambled - Hey, I have a big wooden door you can replace it with! =)

Anonymous said...

actually that is not the face that is thought to be the demonic face. go to the long view of the door the demonic face appears in the middle, its not visible at first but keep looking as it will show itself with its long pointy chin and cheek bones and horns above its eyes.

LiVEwiRe said...

Anon - You mean the one that is pale in color? That nestles right on top of the other one... I'm so glad that door is gone now. Simply, it was the equivalent of someone just sitting and staring. At you. For hours. Ew. ;)
