The Creature Standing Over Me

Published on October 12, 2025 at 9:21 AM

I only had one experience that was truly beyond me. I was 19 years old at the time. A buddy of mine was on leave in the USMC visiting. Going to sleep I let him sleep in my bed and I took the couch. The couch was one of those L shaped sectionals. The short part of the L was at my feet and there was an ottoman in front of the couch in that little area.

 

I had one of those weird sleeps where you wake up before opening your eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw a creature standing next to the ottoman. Like within arms length. There was a light on in the hallway so it was like a silhouette from the light behind it. Not enough light from the streetlight to make it super clear from the window behind me.

 

It was about 3-4 feet tall. All I can remember from its features is it had super greasy hair covering most of its face. I saw it saw soon as I opened my eyes, and I immediately closed them and turned around to face the back of the couch/window. I don’t know how to describe it but it was like the moment I saw it, my entire body filled with terror/dread.

 

As soon as I turned over, I heard a loud whisper next to my ear: “I saw you see me, don’t act like you didn’t.” I was shaking and terrified but I stayed silent, didn’t move, and praying until I gradually fell asleep. At some point in the night I heard my buddy wake up and use the bathroom. I probably would have forgotten about it except the next morning at breakfast, my friend mentioned how he woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and felt like the house was haunted.

 

Gave me the heeby-jeebies. I’ve had sleep paralysis, lucid dreams, false awaken dreams and this wasn’t like any of those. The only supernatural thing I ever saw that I couldn’t explain away.

It Was a Mass Abduction

About twelve years ago, I was on a road trip back from a Blink-182 concert in LA. We were heading east through Arizona, on our way back to Ohio — a 33-hour drive because my buddy just had to see them live. It was the middle of the night, and I was behind the wheel when this happened.

Park Ranger Story: The Baby Cry

 I was a ranger for glacier National park in northern Montana. We got a call around 3amish for camper in distress near our post but would require a 45min hike through some pretty rocky terrain to get there. So, we geared up and start hiking, me and my partner are about 30min into our hike when I just get a gut feeling that something isn’t right.
