But here is the part that keeps me awake.

To the neighbors, he was just the groundskeeper of the old St. Vinzenz孤儿院 (Orphanage), which closed in 1978. To the priests who tried to save him, he was the most terrifying case of demonic possession since Annaliese Michel. But to the children who never came home? He was the Devil in a janitor’s uniform. By day, he was invisible. A tall, gaunt figure with the smell of wet wool and rusted keys. He kept the gardens of the abandoned orphanage tidy, even though no one lived there anymore. The local council paid him a small stipend to keep squatters out. The Nightmaretaker- The Man Possessed by the De...

The priest attempted an exorcism on the spot. He splashed holy water onto the Nightmaretaker’s chest. The water sizzled like acid on hot steel. The man did not scream. He laughed. When the police finally entered the basement of the caretaker’s cottage in 1981 (following a noise complaint about "rhythmic hammering at 3 AM"), they found no bodies. What they found was worse.

They called him the Nightmaretaker because the children in town had the same dream: a tall man with hollow eyes standing at the foot of their beds, whispering the Lord’s Prayer backwards. It started subtly. The local priest, Father Albrecht, was called to the man’s small cottage adjacent to the orphanage. The Nightmaretaker had stopped eating. He claimed that the food turned to ash in his mouth.
