⚠️ PLEASE, I’M BEGGING FOR HELP — SOMETHING IS MOVING INSIDE MY LEG AND I THINK IT STARTED AFTER I SLEPT NEXT TO A RICH CLIENT

I’m posting this anonymously because I am scared, confused, and honestly losing my mind. I know this story sounds unbelievable, but I swear everything I’m about to say is true. Please don’t scroll. I need advice. I need help. I don’t know what is happening to my body.

I used to work on the streets. I’m not proud of it, but at that time I had no job and no support. One night, a very rich man stopped for me. He wasn’t like the others—clean, quiet, drove expensive cars. He booked me for the whole night, but when we got to the room he never touched me. Not even a single finger.

He only slept next to me.
Then he gave me R10 000 in the morning.

He came again the next week. Then the week after that. No sex. No touching. No talking. Just sleeping. And every time, R10 000 cash.

That’s when the nightmares started. At first I tried to ignore them. Every time he slept next to me, I dreamt of a huge snake. The dream felt real—too real. I could feel its weight, its cold skin, the pressure on my back and legs. I woke up with body pains I couldn’t explain. My lower back felt like someone had pressed me down all night. My legs felt bruised.

I kept telling myself to ignore it because I needed the money. I didn’t want to think too much.

Then he suddenly disappeared. No calls. No messages. Nothing. I thought it was over until two weeks later, when I woke up with a burning pain in my right leg. When I looked, I saw a snake tattoo on my skin. I do NOT have tattoos. I never did one. It just appeared. I tried washing it off, scrubbing with soap, hot water, spirit—nothing.

And here is where everything completely changed for me:
When I am alone, that tattoo moves. I know it sounds insane, but I feel something crawl under my skin. It shifts around my leg like something long and heavy is living inside me. But when other people are around, the tattoo looks normal. Flat. Still. Like nothing is wrong.

I started smelling something rotten on myself, like dead flesh. I bath, scrub, use perfume, but the smell comes back within an hour. People move away from me in taxis. Even dogs bark at me when I pass.

At night, I feel someone breathing next to me. The same slow, heavy breathing that man had when he used to sleep beside me. Sometimes the bed shifts like someone just lay down. When I turn around, there is nothing there.

I keep seeing something from the corner of my eye—something long, dark, low to the ground—but when I turn my head, it disappears. I wake up choking, like something is sitting on my chest. I shake, I sweat, I cry, and every time I look down at my leg, I see the tattoo staring back at me.

Food tastes like metal or blood. I go days without eating and don’t feel hungry. I feel weak all the time. Everything in my life is falling apart. Friends avoid me. People say I smell strange. I feel drained like something is taking energy from me every night.

Sometimes I feel the thing inside my leg move all the way up to my thigh. It makes my leg numb. Sometimes it feels like it tightens around the bone. I scream from the pain but no one hears me.

The worst nights are when I try to sleep and I feel the bed dip beside me. It’s exactly the same weight as that man. The same breathing pattern. The same coldness. But when I open my eyes, there’s no one.

I don’t know if this is witchcraft, a curse, or something spiritual that was passed to me while I was asleep. I don’t know what that man did or why he only wanted to sleep next to me. I don’t know what he left in me. But whatever it is, it’s getting stronger.

Please, if anyone has ever seen or heard of something like this, if anyone knows a real pastor, prophet, healer, sangoma—ANYONE who deals with spiritual attacks—please tell me what to do. I feel like I’m running out of time, and I’m terrified of sleeping at night.

I just want my life back. Please help me.
