I screamed at the top of my lungs, and my father ran in. He apparently saw what I did and yanked me off the bed, shouting at “it” to get out, to leave and not come back.  After a few seconds it vanished.  I spent the rest of the week sleeping with my parents.Nowadays I am not sure exactly what to make of it. I have lots of evidence to go both ways: reality vs childhood fantasy.-My father never told my mother about it...she looked at me funny when I mentioned it a few years ago.-My father DID seem to remember it when I was 10 or 12 years old...but he clammed up.  My folks got divorced when I was 10, and his memory has gone downhill since.  If I ever asked him now, he would have NO idea, I’m sure.-The fact that my mother never woke up always worried me...with two of us shouting, even a deep sleeper should have heard us.-The memory of these events is one of the single most vivid childhood memories I have...very strangeThere was an episode of the X-Files a few seasons back where a guy was the only one who could see a buzzing-shadowy figure crawling around his walls...and I'll tell ya what, it pulled up some major Deja Vu for me...I definitely believe that there are forces out there beyond our perception...but what they are (religion, ghosts, aliens, whatever), I doubt we will ever know.I have never had any other “odd” sightings...and I have visited a number of the most haunted places in eastern Pennsylvania over the years...it was something my high-school crew did for kicks way back when...Keep the stories coming, folks!-Rugger“I lurk!”</blockquote>
