On one night last year, it was in October, I suddenly awake in the middle of the night, I swear it wasn't a dream. I was aware I woke up and opened my eyes a little, everything was still dark so I realized it was still night and wanted to go back to sleep. On that moment I felt someone or something breathing aside my bed. It was standing very close beside me, I felt his breath and heard it breathing. Sometimes louder and closer. I was scared to death, too scared to move, to scared to open my eyes to see what it is, but I wouldn't see much I realized my room was very dark, I always wanted my room to be as dark as it could be to sleep tight, for 5/10 minutes I was petrified of fear in my bed, realizing someone/thing stood next to my bed. Then it began to breath faster and louder and I thought to myself I have to do something, I have to open my eyes, cause if it wants to hurt me, then I would blame myself that I didn't do anything, so now I have still the chance, and then I won my fear and opened my eyes. When I was opening my eyes cause I still was to afraid to open them rapidly, so while opening someone ran out of my room, I heard it running to my door, and felt it and heard the chests, so it was for real, I was still petrified, after a few minutes I had the strength to put on the light, and of course nothing to see. The thing is I heard him running out of my room but then when it was passed my door I heard nothing else, normally it had to ran down the stairs too but no it was just that it vanished right when he was passed my door. Since that night I will never sleep with the light off. My room was so dark, can't see a thing, and that thing could see my eyes moving. Anyway I can't figure out what meaning it had with me, it seemed it didn't want to hurt me because it had all the time and chance to do so, but why did it come to me, why did it ran away? Was it scared of me? What would have happened to me when I didn't wake up? But I know one thing it was reality and since I had that experience I never laught with believe and faith anymore, cause there is something, something unknown to mankind. Thank you for reading my story.
