Have you ever been fast asleep, then suddenly awakened to catch a glimpse of a shadowy figure standing in your doorway. Or, perhaps, late one night you catch the movement of something out of the corner of your eye. You turn your head just in time to see something break the light coming from the…

When I was a kid I used to hang out in my sisters room when she was out. Her room was a converted basement since we were sick of sharing a room. Two times I saw a “shadow person”.

The first time was when I was down there with a friend. We were playing with the lights off but could still see well with the lights from the windows. We both saw a small, shadowy mass about the size of a cat ran from under her bed to a easy chair in front of the T.V. (The jerk had cable in her room). I thought it was an illusion since it ran so fast- I figured it was something in my eye. But my friend jumped back to the stairs thinking there was an animal in the room. It disappeared under the chair and we decided to play outside.

The second time was when I was about 13. A different friend of mine and I were listening to music in her room (the jerk had an awesome boom box) and trying to learn karate. Because that’s what you do when your awesome. You practice high-kicking. And we both saw the same black mass run from under the bed to the chair again. It disappeared under it, and being older we both instantly flipped the chair over and didn’t see anything. We pulled off some of the black lining and still nothing. After looking around the room we finally gave up. If it were a animal we probably would of seen it turn up dead at some point, or maybe my sister would of seen it too, but we never figured out what it was or saw it again.
