His story will shock you, terrify you, and leave you questioning everything. Dan Mitchell: ‘What you are about to read in this first of two books is a narrative detailing a mysterious figure I called the Harlequin. ‘The Harlequin was a thin, androgynous being that presented itself to me on numerous occasions throughout my life, particularly during childhood. This being was clearly not human, and seemed to be stalking me my entire life.’ Cryptically, as in a Masquerade, there is more than just the mysterious Harlequin figure who makes its presence felt. There is a whole host of characters who appear in this story, and they all arrive in ways as disturbing as the Harlequin…. A parade of the hideous and grotesque and alarming, for we know not what they are….Are they separate monsters….or all one and the same? And what do they want with Dan? ‘His skin was pale, his countenance was pallid. It felt as though he was feeding off of the fear and hysteria happening inside the house. He seemed to be alive, but wasn’t. He was some type of revenant and I could sense that he was very dangerous.’ ‘As she walked we noticed that her movements were very jerky. She seemed to notice us at that moment. With every step she took, she became jerkier, her hair seemed to bounce more violently. Once again my blood went cold. The feeling of unnerving eerieness fell over me. This time it was much worse. I was older and knew something was very wrong with what I was seeing. She began to walk toward my car. From only a few feet away I saw her clear as day through the passenger side window. From the back seat someone said, “Oh my God her eyes!” BEHIND THE MASQUERADE: THE HARLEQUIN: PART 1: Dan’s true story will shock you, terrify you, and leave you questioning everything…. A mysterious true story of the unsolved & unexplained. A creepy tale of unexplained mysteries & unexplained phenomena.
