Have some people ever claimed to see the Devil?

Disclaimer; I’m not wanting to start a debate on religion and beliefs, nor am I asking this to make fun of religion and believers. If people do want to discuss this, it’s fine of course, but please know that it isn’t my primary intent here. This is a curiosity thing, whether it’s real or not, and despite whatever I believe or don’t believe, thanks.

I read a short story by Stephen King today, called The Man in the Black Suit.
It takes place in 1914, where a nine year old boy has a frightening encounter with the Devil himself. (he is recounting this story in his nineties)
The Devil’s physical definition was a tall man with pale skin, claws instead of fingernails, and fire in his eyes. He also smelled like matches and sulfur, and his breath smelled quite horrible. Grass died wherever he stood, and this was used as proof for the boy’s father, a strict but fair hardcore religious farmer, that something messed up had indeed went down.

While this work was initially influenced by a story called ’‘Young Goodman Brown’’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne, King says that a lot of what influenced his story came from a story a friend of his told him. That friend said that his grandfather swears he had an encounter with the Devil, and the description given was basically what King used in his story.

I’m wondering how common ’‘devil sightings’’ are. Ones that might be in the same nature of ghost, alien and monster sightings. Are there any websites about this? Would Satan even show up like that to people? And would he look all stereotypical like he did in King’s story?

What do you think? You ever hear of devil sightings? Any personal experiences? I ain’t here to laugh.
