Let me start off with, never in my life have i been more terrified than that. I was giving my girlfriend a backrub while going to sleep, it has become a habit, i rub her back she falls asleep and I shortly after. I started to drift off when i hear a noise(like a thump) from the walk in closet a few feet from in front of the bed. The noise made me open my eyes, at first i wasnt aware of being unable to move, i was just lying there with my eyes open. But then as dark as it was i began to get a creepy sensation, like i was being watched. I then began to focus on the closet, when i saw what i saw chills ran through my body. It looked like a black shaded figure sitting on a chair in the closet just looking straight into my eyes. Not like the typical red eyes glowing through the dark in scary movies, but just normal eyes where there was just enough light to see the whites in its eyes. I just stared at it trying to think it was my mind playing tricks on me, maybe like a jacket rested on the chair made it appear as something else in the dark. I then tried to close my eyes and roll over. Thats when i realised i couldnt move. I started to panick, breathing heavy, trying to make some kind of noise to wake up my girlfriend but my mouth wouldnt open and i just couldnt get loud enough. Then it stood up. It appeared as if it was slowly walking towards me but it never seemed like it actually made it to bed(hard to explain). I was trying so hard to get up, to yell, to move, but nothing. The figure stopped moving at some point and just watched me for what felt like hours, then it squatted down and looked as if it had crawled underneath the bed, and at that point i was able to move again(almost like it was controlling me not being able to move?) i immediately sat up, drenched in sweat, jumped out of the bed and turned the lights on which woke up my girlfriend. I explained to her what happened, we checked under the bed, in the closet, but nothing. I am officially freaked out, afraid of the dark, and dont look forward to sleeping again. This has completely changed my views towards the supernatural. I am 100% sure i saw something/ experienced something last night, and honestly i dont know if i will survive. It was sinister and it wanted me, i could sense it. I just needed to tell people, most of you dont care but to the few that do, id appreciate any info/experience you have to give. Edit: Night #2 was much better. Granted i took 2 Tranquinol pills and 5ml of Benadryl, so i was too dead to wake up for anything. Not taking any chances lol. Night #3 Here we go. Night #3 was uneventful. I have come to the conclusion that drugs help. Will attempt tonight without any drugs.
