...Around the edge of the room is a thin life size doll, it seems to be made completely out of tightly wrapped black cloth but no one gives it any attention....
....She see's across the road to the next dark alley, and stops dead in her tracks. I see the dark outline of one of those same black cloth dolls in a seated position at the entrance of the other alley. Its cross armed and cross legged. It obviously terrifies her and she turns and runs.....
.....jumps in to help our friend, but I am looking the doll. A shadow comes out of it. What I remember most is the hands, they kept clicking, twitching and jerking they seemed sharp and long. It pulled out of the doll and shot towards us. The people on the street couldn't see it. Just us.... When the Shadow got to us. I fought with it..... I never hit it, it was so fast, I could hit at it, and it would be behind me before I knew I missed it. It darted around the alley as my friends ran for the light of the street. The shadow suddenly flew after them, leaving me. I screamed but I was too late. It got the girl, her skin and eyes turned black and she fell. I was there just a second later, I brought the stick down on her, and the blackness dissipated like a fog. At the same time the doll across the street suddenly unraveled falling in a heap, a cloud of dust flying up......She was gasping and coughing. I was trying to help her, but Paul grabbed my arm. Its already too late, leave her. I fought off his arm and tried to stay. She stopped breathing, she was twitching and her limbs went stiff as her arms crossed across her chest and her legs bent twisting into unnatural positions. I could tell she was dead.
....we were going back to get the girls body, to give her a proper burial..... We turned the corner into the alley, and stopped in our tracks. There were two creatures over the girl. They looked like tall stringy humans but with bird heads. They're arms were very lengthy, and their hands had three fingers that looked more like claws, they were all black. One stopped and looked towards us, but I could see it had no eyes, just the beak. it was bloody. And then I saw what they were doing. One of the birds was messily eating the meat off our friend, the other was tightly wrapping her bones in black cloth, making her into one of the black dolls. This shocked me so badly I woke up.
I realize for you it was only black thread and the flesh was still on the bodies but maybe just hearing something similar will help you see your not insane.
