This reminds me of an encounter I was told about when I was in my teens. A friend of my older brother told me he saw a "little person" like this one, but I think it was smaller -- maybe a foot or two tall. It was in his bedroom at night. He woke up and saw the little fellow leaning against the door frame, just like the one in this account. He was dressed in a suit, smiled at him, and disappeared. He swore it wasn't a dream. This was in the SF Bay Area in the 1960s.
