The Entity from Commerce
I received a crazy story from someone in the city of Commerce, CA:
It was just four friends cruising down Sheila Avenue in Commerce, California, one night… looking for a place to drink and smoke.
George, at the wheel saw the empty parking lot next to this huge Scientology building and decided to park there, backing into the parking spot so they are facing the building in case someone inside notices them. The Scientology building had large glass windows with the moonlight illuminating inside.
As they sat there, George stated, “what the hell is that” before a chilling sight was glimpsed by everyone in the car, a shadowy figure atop the staircase inside the building.
Suddenly, the apparition noticed them and bolted down the zigzag stairs with inhuman speed. Panic set in as George as he fumbled with the keys, his friends urging him to hurry the hell up. Finally, the engine roared to life, and they sped away, hearts pounding.
To their horror, the entity gave chase. How the entity got down the stairs so fast, they would never know. A pale, faceless being in a black suit sprinted after them, it had a black turtleneck, black shiny shoes, bald head, and skin was as pale as slender man. its dark eyes piercing the night as it ran in the middle of the street. The friends screamed in terror as they ran red lights, desperately trying to escape. The friends would turn around and notice the entity’s face turn into a blank canvas of skin.
Turning onto Washington Boulevard, they pushed the car to its limits, reaching 70 mph. In a final bid for safety, they sought refuge in one of the friend’s backyard, their minds reeling from the otherworldly encounter.
What was that thing they encountered? For the full episode which features a recording from the man who encountered the entity from Commerce himself, tune into The Scarecast Podcast (Episode: The Scarecast Files #19: The Entity from Commerce).
