So I've been getting home late from work for the past few months and, for whatever reason, the only thing I seem to watch is shows about hauntings and UFOs. So that got me thinking about an experience I had has a kid.
When I was visiting my grandparents in Canyon Lake, TX, which is right outside New Braunfuls and kind of out in the middle of nowhere, I would sleep on the floor in their bedroom from time to time, depending how many people from my family were there. So one night I was sleeping on the floor, looking out the sliding glass door into the courtyard and I saw this figure come to the window. The figure had a red outline and red eyes and the body was just as black as night. The only thing visible was the outline of the body and it's eyes. The figure waved back and forth and I was terrified. It never said anything but I couldn't help stop staring at it, like I was paralyzed out of fear. Once I could, I ran out of the room screaming and, of course, when my parents walked me back in there the figure was gone.
So I was probably 6 or so when this occurred, but it has stuck in my mind since then. No idea what it was or maybe if I was in a dream state and imagined it, but it still makes the hair on my arms stand up remembering it. I've looked around online some recently and found other people have had similar viewings, no one really knowing what it was. So that leads to me my question: What is your paranormal story? I'm curious about real stories but if you've got a good made up one, may as well share it.
