While falling asleep in a cabin in the mountains, I suddenly got the feeling that someone was standing over me. I opened my eyes and thought I saw a person(?) standing over me wearing rags or skins (or maybe fur). I could see a rough human shape, arms/legs etc, but the face was hidden in a hood or something, and it seemed to be hunched over. I was in that strange state right before you fall asleep, and for some reason thought it was my brother playing a trick on me, so I leapt out of bed to grab him/it and yelled, thinking I could startle him, only to find that there was nothing and no one there. My brother was asleep on the far side of the room, and my yelling woke him up.
Two days later, I was watching TV in the same room with the lights off, and noticed that a white handprint was visible on the wall above my bed. I had missed it before because it was only visible in the faint slanted/blue light of the tv, and not the yellow light of the lamps or fire. I put my hand up to it, and found that it was MUCH larger than my own hand, like 2 inches longer and 1 wider (I'm a pretty big person, too). My brother also saw it, and we used a wet rag to get rid of it.
Anyone know of any local stories that might relate? Or of anything at all similar? Whatever the entity was, I didn't get the feeling that it was malevolent, but neither was it friendly. |
