npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) when I was a kid (starting at maybe 5 or 6), I used to swear every night I'd see a glowing figure watching me from the corner of my room, just inside the door.
For years. Never saw much detail, but I never wanted to look for too long. I slept with my ear covered by the blanket because in my lil child head if my ears were covered and eyes closed, ghosts couldn't get in.
But a part of me always assumed it was just a trick of the light - it was opposite the windows, after all.
But one night a cousin was staying over - she slept in my bed and I on a cot on the floor. Until she woke up SCREAMING about a glowing man staring at her from the same corner I'd always seen it in. I'd never told her (or anyone) about it because I was embarrassed by how scared it made me.
Someone else seeing it didn't help.
Not long after, I ended up moving and never saw it again.
I'm not a believer in the supernatural now, but I still can't come up with a satisfying explanation for that whole experience.
