I got scratched by a cat, but I don’t own any pets
While working in his basement, this Redditor explained how he got scratched by a cat. However, there is a twist, he doesn’t have a cat or any pets, yet he has scars to prove a beast hurt him. Sometimes, the underworld might enter our reality and cause visible damage to us. Judging by the responses to this experience, one can see the scratch is a demon’s marking.
Demons are known to shake your bed after waking up from dreaming, break the cross statues in your home, or your finger. Generally, most demonic attacks, possession, or haunting are less harmful (although this doesn’t negate the fact that demonic haunting is dangerous for humans). Scratching or biting is often regarded as the last level of threats exhibited by demons and foul ghosts. Before these, humans, in particular, would have ignored other earlier signs like noises or bad dreams.
