When I went to bed I would make hand shadows on the wall next to me.
She had been dead for about a week.
I was staying at my parents house and was just sleeping on the couch.
God & Man
Needless to say we were freaking out a bit.
Her phone, which had died, was plugged into a charger in the kitchen.
It had turned itself on and begun playing a video of her laughing and playing with her new puppy.
4.My almost 4 year old standing at my bedside staring right at me.
Thanks kid, I had you so theyd go in your room.
5.About eight years ago my husband and I were awoken at 4am by someone pounding on the door.
My husband went down and was told we needed to evacuate everyone out of the house.
I pop my head outside to ask if its a gas leak.
The officer tells me its not a gas leak.
I grabbed my husband and we got in the car and left.
Took 4 hours for the guy to surrender to police from the little wooded area he was in.
The area was right next to our house.
Apparently he was trying to commit suicide by cop.
6.The smell of smoke.
Woke us up in an instant.
Im 99% sure they unplugged theirs or pulled out the batteries.
The guy breaking in jumped back out the window and ran off.
I remember putting on my bath robe and going outside and the police were already out there.
One of my neighbors had called them.
It was pretty surreal.
Woke up to the sound of screaming and shouting.
On the other side of the door was my mother screaming to be let in.
My sister was in the bunk under mine and she was crying.
Suddenly my cousin comes to and opens the door.
My mom rushes in and asks my cousin and us if we were okay.
There was commotion in the hallway and living room but I couldnt tell what it was.
Suddenly cops show up and start arresting my step dad.
My mom is yelling at the police and Im sitting there with my cousin and sister like wtf.
My step dad grabbed his gun out of instinct.
The cops showed up and assumed my step dad was the shooter and arrested him.
All in all a pretty fun night.
9.My boyfriend screaming at me to wake the fuck up.
Was a car on fire pretty much right outside our bedroom window.
How I managed to sleep through the exploding tires sound is beyond me, that shit was loud.
I still have trouble sleeping and am super obsessive about checking everything is locked before I can relax.
He told me to roll over and not scream.
Never did catch him.
12.My door unlocking, I lived alone and moved the night before.
13.Woke up in the middle of the night vomiting black sludge.
Left stains of dark tar all the way to the bathroom.
14.I was in the hospital a few years ago and needed anesthesia.
I got paranoid and ripped out my IV and left my room intending to escape the hospital.
I made it all the way to an exit when security guards stopped me.
When, I woke up the next morning there was someone in my room who explained everything that happened.
At three in the morning.
While I was asleep.
My 3 year old waterboarded me.
16.A transformer blowing up outside my apartment.
Opened my eyes and the sky was lime green, seriously thought the world was ending.
17.This past summer I woke up to the sound of someone screaming in the most horrible way.
Im just glad a pillow was the only weapon around.
At the same time, I could feel myself slip into sleep paralysis.
I was so afraid they were going to murder me.
I snapped out of it after a while of struggling.
And checked the house.
No one was there and my car keys were in the same spot.
I was just hearing things, probably due to sleep paralysis.
One night, I turned off the light and started falling asleep.
I sat bolt upright and screamed out loud, turned on the light and nothing was there.
I did not think I was asleep, but it is possible.
The orientation of the windows would not have allowed for a shadow moving in that direction.
No idea what happened.
Could have been dreaming.
22.I was renting a house.
It was my first ever place by myself and it was my first night staying there.
I didnt have the internet there yet, nor did I have cell phone service.
I got woken up the the sound of someone kicking in my backdoor.
Stunned/shocked I didnt know what to do.
Do I just stay quiet and wait?
Hope it goes away?
Wtf do I do?
I really had no options.
I didnt have a gun or any means to protect myself especially being upstairs.
Most of the things I could use to protect myself were downstairs and in boxes at that.
So I shouted I had a gun and I was calling the cops.
It took a few times of yelling it, but whoever it was eventually stopped.
It was fucked and had to be replaced and also reinforced.
23.A loud BANG downstairs and then my dog zooming to the front door and snarling.
Looks like they were trying to kick the door down to gain access.
My good boy got some steak the next day as a reward.
24.Woke up feeling oxygen starved, fluish, and fuzzy headed in pitch black.
Likewise, so much snow had accumulated around my tent that it effectively sealed the rain fly.
I was by myself in a one person tent and slowly suffocating.
25.A baby crying when we didnt have a baby at the time.
26.Woke up to the sound of kids laughing outside my bedroom window (it was 3am).
27.Lightning hit the tree outside my house.
The bang was so loud I saw myself in the third person and honestly thought I died.
I cant even explain how that happened.
After spending a bit of time freaking out, I realized it was from my phone.
Scared the shit out of me.
I was terrified because I had been in my bed what felt like minutes before.
I did it to myself but it the scariest way Ive ever woken up.
I fly out of bed, freaking out, thinking my baby boy is dead.
No, he just was very comfortably asleep and she wanted to play with him.
