Hi everyone, I’m excited to join this community! I have kind of an older experience that I’ve been trying to figure out for years. I had this experience over a decade ago and I still have no idea what it was, I’m very curious to see if this rings any bells for anyone here.
One night when I was in my late teens I woke up in the middle of the night (I don’t quite remember what time it was when I woke up) and noticed something dark floating at the end of my bed, just past my feet. I had an alarm clock that had cast a low amount of light into the room, and from that I could just make out a black, spherical mass with this insanely creepy face. It just had eyes and a mouth, but the eyes had this really angry look to them and the mouth reminded me of a Cheshire cat kind of smile. Obviously this scared me, so I kicked at it and the thing bounced around my room for a moment, knocked into a picture frame which then fell off my dresser, and then just disappeared without a trace.
Shortly after this I saw three soft flashes of white light outside my window through the blinds. I froze for a while, because I was paralyzed by fear (after quickly turning on the lights) and tried to try to process what I had just seen, and then tried to write it all down just to get the details in order, and I think to give myself something to look back on later as a reminder that I actually did see what I had just seen.
A few years later I was hanging out with one of my friends, and she introduced me to someone who was into ghost stories, so I told her this story and before I could describe the thing she interrupted me and described it first! Apparently she had a very similar encounter of her own, but unfortunately she didn’t know what the thing was either.
Have any of you ever encountered anything like this, or even heard of this? I’ve tried doing some research but I’ve honestly always had a hard time just figuring out where to start, or even how to google this thing.
