TERRIFYING! Black-Robed Entities’ Creepy Antics in Sisters’ Bedroom
4 or 5 creepy black-robed entities appear in a bedroom late at night. What were they there for? Other strange activities began to manifest, including objects moving, etc.
Alison, then 16 or 17 years old, recalls that in the late 1970s, she and her sister, Julia, were staying with their father at his home in Wisconsin. They had a room with twin beds, Their parents had divorced and so there was a shared custody arrangement.
Alison recalls that one night she awoke between 3:00 and 4:00 AM to the sight of 4 to 5 black-robed figures entering the room. To her, they looked like monks. She recalled that they were very tall and had a greenish outline or a “dull green aura”. Inside the outline of the figures, was dark. They entered the room and started walking toward her bed. Frightened, Alison hid under the covers. She could still see the shadows moving through her comforter, reaching for her. She peeked to her right, where her sister was in the next bed. Her sister was asleep and she could see that one of the black-robed figures had taken a seat beside her on the bed. It started to wave its hands over her head like a puppet. Then the figure, began clicking their teeth together like, she explained, a person would do when blowing spit bubbles.
This terrified Alison, who then looked over at her dresser where her stepmother, a Catholic, had a small figurine. The figurine was of a little girl, with long blond hair similar to Alice in Wonderland. This figurine had a white-blue glow and appeared to be moving around on the top of the dresser. She also saw one of the robed figures standing over a chair that had several toy dolls.
Alison screeched in terror and her dad rushed into the room. Her sister also woke. Everything was gone. The robed entities had vanished. Her father insisted that it was just a really vivid nightmare and left. The sister crawled into her bed.
As the sun rose, the two sisters experienced strange activity. Alison claimed that the curtains moved on their own, while her sister observed the dolls in the chair move subtly on their own (the hair would move, the arms would move up and down, etc.). Also, the bed comforter seemed to move back and forth.
The next day, the girls found “black cobwebby” stuff on the dolls and around the room. Alison found it curious that the experience happened just one week before going to a Christian retreat called ‘The Happening’ where she was baptized.

Apple TV+’s ‘Bad Sisters’ review: Sharon Horgan’s dark comedy ditches whodunnit for how
What was it about Catastrophe, the comedy/drama Sharon Horgan co-created with Rob Delaney, that made it so damn good? The sharp writing? The clever blend of genres? The fun story? All those things played a part, but it was the characters — in all their flawed, human, amusing glory — that truly elevated the show.
Catastrophe is finished now, but Horgan is still busy writing, producing, and acting, from Aisling Bea’s This Way Up to Nicolas Cage’s wild ride The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. And Bad Sisters, a new Apple TV+ show created by Horgan, might be her best work yet.
Mixing comedy, drama, and a dash of crime thriller, Bad Sisters is based on Malin-Sarah Gozin’s Belgian series, Clan. The 10-episode series tells the story of the Garvey sisters — one of whom, Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), is married to a man (Claes Bang) that her family refers to in private as “The Prick”. This is a serious understatement. John Paul is a controlling, manipulative, and abusive misogynist, an impressively hateable character who manages to wrong each of Grace’s sisters in various unpleasant ways. The family’s solution? Start planning how they might get rid of him for good.

With its coastal setting and story of women banding together to take down an abusive man, the show’s trailer inevitably prompted comparisons to David E. Kelley’s Big Little Lies. But that comparison only goes so deep. Structurally, tonally, and even once you drill down into the story itself, the show is very much its own beast.
Playing out over two timelines, Bad Sisters starts with the funeral of a now very much dead John Paul, following the Garvey sisters as they attempt to evade the amateur investigation of two desperate insurance agents (played by Brian Gleeson and Daryl McCormack). Each episode cuts back and forth via flashbacks, slowly revealing how the man’s death really came to pass and the messy steps that led to it. Not a whodunnit, but a howdunnit.

Sound complicated? It doesn’t feel it. Going in I was wondering how the show would balance its many characters — surely some of the five Garvey sisters would be overlooked, or feel underdeveloped? Not at all. Each has their own clear personality, their own well-drawn motives. Eva (Sharon Horgan) is the de facto leader, the career-focussed big sister with a difficult past; Ursula (Eva Birthistle) is juggling a husband and three kids and yearning for younger days; Bibi (Sarah Greene) is a no-nonsense mum dealing with her own anger at the loss of an eye; Becka (Eve Hewson) is the youngest sister, sick of being babied and keen to prove herself. Each character is written and performed with nuance and versatility, all likeable in their own ways while flawed in others.
The same attention to detail is shown to the show’s supporting characters, too. Frank of Ireland star Gleeson is a sweary, desperate mess as insurance agent Thomas Claffin. He spends his time asking slimy questions and stealing garbage in an attempt to save his family business, while roping in his brother Matthew, a motorbike-riding heartthrob played by Good Luck to You, Leo Grande star McCormack, whose chance meeting with Becka creates its own thorny side plot.

Timelines and characters are woven together without force, thanks to strong writing implemented by directors Rebecca Gatward, Josephine Bornebusch, and Dearbhla Walsh. Despite the fact we know where the flashback scenes are ultimately headed, there’s still a horrible amount of tension, frustration, and humour in the sisters’ many failed attempts to put an end to their brother-in-law, as well as a building sense of injustice as we watch John Paul’s smug and sadistic schemes roll out.
So, is there anything wrong with Bad Sisters? To be honest, not really. I was given the first seven episodes of the 10-episode series for review and absolutely raced through them, wincing and cringing through the various imaginative homicidal scenarios that play out. Unless the series, along with John Paul, meets a disappointing end — and there’s no reason to think that it (or he) will — then Bad Sisters is on track to be one of Apple’s best shows to date.
The first two episodes of Bad Sisters are streaming on Apple TV+ from Aug. 19, with new episodes dropping weekly after that.
