When I was 5 years old, I remember seeing him. Or his shadow at least. My parents said I was making things up.

When I was 8, I remember hearing him and his "friends" taunt me. My parents said I was being overdramatic.

When I was 12, I actually saw him for the first time, he had a broken face, dry blood was all over him and he had no eyes. My parents said I was tired.

When I was 16, I heard my parents blood curdling screams. But I thought, maybe I was making things up, or being overdramatic, perhaps I needed more sleep? All I remember is that I was smiling.
