To Dance with Devils

It was the early hours of the morning on a fateful day in the early 2000s when a middle-aged woman was found unconscious on the road in a Diwanya suburb. When she was taken to the hospital, she had a horrific story to tell the authorities. Apparently, she was a musician, and she had been hired to provide entertainment for a gathering in a large villa in the neighbourhood she was found in. As the night went on, however, she came to realise that a number of her clients weren’t entirely human. She tried to escape and evidently failed.

Ghoul Party!

This happened in Diwanya, Kuwait (Western Asia). In the early 2000s (source doesn’t give an exact date), stories appeared in the Kuwaiti media detailing the run-in that a hapless victim had with beings that would normally be confined to the dark reaches of mythology and folklore.

The musician was a middle-aged woman who plays a traditional Kuwaiti instrument. She received a call from a prospective client who wanted to hire her for her services during the month of Ramadan. Since it is inappropriate to perform music during Ramadan, the witness initially refused - but the caller insisted, and tripled her usual fee - persuading her to go. The callers sent their own driver to pick her up, and what began as a usual musical event suddenly took a sharp turn for the supernatural. The party started early in the evening, but continued on till 12am, at which point some of the attendees began to act bizarrely. A group of young girls at the centre of the room, for example, started to dance very aggressively. They moved in such a vigorous manner that their legs began showing under their long dresses, revealing that their legs were not in fact those of humans - but rather bore a closer resemblance to 'horses’ legs’.

Terrified, as anyone would be in this anomalous situation, the woman ran out of the party where she found the driver who had picked her up waiting for her. Panicked, she quickly got into the car and refused to comment when the driver asked her what was wrong due to being too distraught to speak coherently. After a couple of minutes, however, she had calmed down enough to be asked again by the driver. She told him that some of the partygoers did not have human legs, prompting the driver to reply 'you mean just like mine?’ before revealing his legs under his clothes. Like the young girls at the gathering, they were those of an animal. The woman was hysterical with fear at this point, and so threw herself from the car and landed on the street, rendering herself unconscious. The next day, after reporting the bizarre incident, she decided to return to the villa accompanied by the local authorities. However, the villa was gone. It had completely vanished, leaving nothing behind but an empty yard.

Living Legends?

Ethiopia is sometimes said to be home to satyrs and fauns, which resemble humanoids with goat-like feet and legs. The source from which I garnered this story also makes a link to the Hebrew figure of the Queen of Sheba - or Bilquis - who was said in various folktales and apocryphal accounts from all three Abrahamic faiths to have animal hooves. This links her to the ghoul or ghul, which is sometimes classified as a type of Djinn in Islamic tradition. The words said by the driver just before revealing his non-human identity are also very closely mimicked in Japanese folklore, with the this time coming from the terrifying faceless shapeshifters known as Noppera-bō just before they make their human faces melt away with the intention of scaring the bejesus out of an unfortunate victim.

As for the source in question, well, unfortunately it's no longer available. It was a video on the YouTube channel Mysterious Middle East which has since been removed by the owners of the channel. I have no idea where they heard it from and I haven't been able to find reference to it elsewhere online. I think that this means that my retelling of the story is the sole surviving rendition - which is always pretty neat to know.

Vengeance of the Djinn Orbs

Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Philip J. Imbrogno received a letter 'several years ago' from a woman who had grown up in Turkey. She told a harrowing story about the time when her husband and quite a few of his friends had decided to contact the djinn as something fun to pass the time. They didn’t believe that the djinn actually existed at this point, and so was just wanting to do something to mess around. They went about this by seeking out a man who was apparently capable of calling to the djinn - it would, predictably, end very badly...

Orbduction! 

Photoshopped rendition of this case

One of the husband's friends had a friend who was 'quite religious' and lived off in a nearby mountain village. This took place sometime in the late nineties on a summer evening in Istanbul - and the group of partygoers decided to visit the supposed djinn summoner.
Apparently some pre-Islamic Arabic rituals exist which can be used alongside readings from the Quran to achieve contact with the djinn and bring them into our plane of reality. The man was reluctant to use his abilities to summon the nebulous spirits forth from whatever bizarre realm they had originally emanated from, but ultimately the others - none of which really believed that the djinn were real - were eventually able to persuade him to perform the rite.
The man started chanting Islamic prayers, reading out the incantations from the Quran for several dramatic minutes before the windows were suddenly blown open by an invisible force and three 'glowing orbs' flew into the room. The orbs shone so dazzlingly bright that the men had to shield their eyes against the solar glare. These odd light-forms were also able to easily phase back and forth through the glass window panes. These alleged djinn were apparently 'very angry' that they had been interrupted by the summoning, and requested to know why the man had done so. It is unclear if they actually spoke or if this communication was telepathic and only between the djinn and the summoner. The men (plural in the source article, thus suggesting that it was possible that the djinn had actually spoken) had no idea what to say to this - and so the entities only got angrier.
The house's lights started flickering on and off, and loud banging noises could be heard on the walls and door. The carnage briefly seemed to subside when the djinn left the scene - allowing the terrified men to regain their composure. However, they hadn't realised that the one of the men had vanished during the commotion. Perhaps in denial, the other men concluded that he must've simply been frightened by the admittedly-horrifying manifestation and had chosen to run somewhere and hide there. His fellows 'looked everywhere' but were completely unable to find him.
Hours later, the solemn party heard someone crying out from their balcony. When they got there to investigate, they discovered the formerly-missing man in the foetal position, dripping with sweat and hysterical with fear. He told them that the djinn had stolen him away to their world as punishment for the unnecessary summoning. He said that the djinn's world was a 'terrible place' and that he was so utterly traumatised by the experience that he wouldn’t say anything more about it. Suffice to say, all members of the party now believe that the djinn are definitively real, and 'want nothing to do with them ever again'.

Notes on the Nature of the Djinn
It is of course interesting to note that this event would've been filed as being extraterrestrial or perhaps even demonic activity if it had occurred in a different cultural region - but seeing as it occurred in an Islamic region, it was described as being a manifestation of the djinn. Perhaps the same can be said for the aforementioned demons and extraterrestrials - what they appear as just depends on who is seeing them and what their beliefs are. It is no more correct to call these entities aliens than djinn or faeries, in my opinion.
