There’s Someone in the House
Reddit user dayumlochnessmonster was ready to shower and sleep, but that’s the last thing they were able to do that night because lurking in the shadows was a silhouette that looked an awful lot like an intruder.
“I had just gotten home from the gym and was exhausted. I badly needed to shower/sleep so I began to head upstairs. As soon as my bedroom door came in to view, what I can only describe as a dark and humanoid looking silhouette creeped out of view from the side of my door frame. I knew 100% that I had seen something and wasn’t too keen on investigating it.
I grabbed a knife from my kitchen, convinced myself that i was a grown man, counted down from 5, kicked my halfway closed bedroom door all the way open and started yelling like a maniac (I was home alone). I didn’t find anything or anyone. I checked each closet thoroughly, under the bed, etc. Etc. The usual ‘[eff] that’ places. I closed my door out of habit and began to get undressed when the only light in my room burned out. It was absolutely pitch black.
Considering how positive I was that I had seen something earlier, I promptly began to freak out. I had this sense of dread and absolute impending doom. I felt like there was a hand about 2 inches away from the back of my neck, it was such a vivid and terrifying feeling. I bolted in the direction of my door after about 5-10 seconds of being too afraid to act and got out of my house until the rest of my family came home.”
