When I uttered the words, "I said I saw the devil," I was met with skepticism, if not outright dismissal. It was as if my claim was a fanciful fabrication, a product of a vivid imagination or a cry for attention. But I knew what I saw, and it was not a figment of my imagination. It was a presence that exuded an aura of malevolence, a being that embodied the very essence of evil.
