Ok. Its a little long but bear with it as it did legitimately happen to me. Ive had a history of strange things happen to me or my friends when they are around me but this one takes the cake. It was back in highschool. My friends came over to hang, play games, watch tv etc. My parents went to their rooms, mom sleeps separately because dad is violent sleeper, and my dad took my dog Dakota (yellow lab) to his room so she didnt bother my friends. It was about 2 am when my friends decided to leave. I was still wired so i went to my room to watch some Family Guy and try to settle in for bed. My room is a square. Door on the west side in the middle, my bed opposite of it on the east side, and my desk with my wall mounted tv next to the door entrance. My mom would occasionally get up super early and come to my room to get my dog and let her out to go to the bathroom. So as I'm laying there watching Family Guy i hear someone moving outside my door. I figure its my mom. The door to my room barely cracks open and i figure its my mom coming for Dakota. I get up and say, "hey im still awake Dakota's in dad's room." No response so i repeat it. Still nothing. Then the door cracks open a little more. At this point i say louder "mom Im awake." Then a hand pops out of the door crack and hovers over my light switch. Its has long fingers, its grey, bony, and it is moving the fingers in a rhythmic pattern. I start screaming "mom" and "who is there I'm armed." (Had a 22 in my room and a replica sword on display on my wall.) I start screaming at whoever this was and I reach for my sword on my wall near my bed as I'm sitting there. As i do the hand jerks still and the fingers stop moving. It quickly slips behind the door and slams it. I yell "hell no!" and jump up with the sword and throw my door open. Couldnt have been more than 2 seconds between the door slamming and me opening it. No one is there, but i can hear someone moving downstairs. I am yelling at the top of my lungs for both my parents but neither respond. My dog Dakota is whimpering in my dads room. So instead of going to see what was wrong with my parents i head downstairs quickly like a genius. I can hear things moving in multiple rooms. I turn on every light, in every room, and i find nothing. I thought someone was in the house but the doors were locked, no windows were open or busted, and no signs of anyone being there causing the ruckus that i heard in pretty much every room. Sometimes i would hear things in rooms that i already checked but i never saw anyone or anything causing the noises. I then hurried upstairs. My dog was still whimpering. I went to my moms room and threw the door open while screaming that "someone" was in the house. No response. I went to her bed side, grabbed her and began shaking her because i was beginning to panic. She would not wake up. It started to dawn on me then that "someone" must have been "something" because my mom would not wake up. I began to cry from fear and panic (something im not proud of but i was 16), then suddenly she began to wake up. She was startled to see me standing there half naked holding a sword. She asked me what was going on and i said "there is someone in the house and you wouldn't wake up." She then gets up and we head to my father's room. Same thing. He wouldn't wake up easily which confused my mom. We searched the house together and found no trace of anyone just like when i searched. My parents were baffled and i was very upset at this point. The fact that they wouldn't wake up was extremely disturbing as neither are heavy sleepers. Also my dog whimpering in the other room instead of barking was scary. Idk who or what that was that night but it gives me goosebumps recounting it here. My parents, some time later, said i must have been dreaming before i came to wake them up, but if that were true all the lights downstairs would not have been on and they would have heard me yelling and woken up. My mom doesnt fully agree with this explanation either because of how hard it was for her to wake up my dad. Which in her words was "something she's never seen from him", I've explored several possibilities since then and none can answer what happened. Someone or something was in the house that night and it was able to keep my parents dead asleep, almost coma like, make noises in multiple rooms at the same time, and cause my dog to cower. And for those thinking this is just a story it is legitimate and freaks me out every time i think about it.
