I’ve seen a shadow person in my house and so has my mom. Sometimes if you wake up early in the morning and go out into the hall you see a figure walking down the stairs. I’ve also had lights turning on and off on their own, heard lots footsteps, and found things inexplicably moved from where they were before. I also occasionally wake up in the night and feel like there’s someone in my room. No one believes me but I’ve heard loud clear footsteps that sound like old shoes on a tile floor when completely alone in my house

[@richardriojas983]

[@peanutmmssuck4370]

I get sleep paralysis on a regular basis, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. It only lasts a few seconds and once you can identify what's happening it isn't scary.

[@Domino365]

Some years ago, I woke up in the middle of sleep paralysis. It was winter, and I realized that my bed covers had shifted a bit and my upper body was exposed. In an attempt to move to grab the blanket, I tried the "wiggle your big toe" trick from Kill Bill, but it didn't work, so I said, "Screw it," and went back to sleep.

[@charlenehensel6945]

It is as bad as people say! I know it only last a couple of seconds, but it feels like forever! I could of gone without the big firey eyes that was burning in front of me! 😵

When I was little, and living with my grandpa in Nepal, I often hear footsteps at night. It came from right above my room, the upper floor. It often terrified me as I kept wondering whether it was just my imagination or there indeed was a ghost, or home intruder wandering around in our house. I never had this problem after I moved to my parent's house in a different country.
