Shadow Person
So, I finally got to see my very own shadow ghost on the weekend, it was a strange experience. I was staying at my friend's cabin and after a long night of drinks, messing around, and deep conversations I fell asleep an a coach facing a window. Just about as I fall asleep I catch something out of the corner of my eye. Something's opened the front door of the cabin. I glance over and see a friend stepping outside for a breather, but something else become apparent to me - something much closer. I shadowy figure wearing a scraggly mask is looming over me. Thinking it's one of my friends playing a prank on me I tell them to leave me alone and that I can see them. My friend looks towards me having my conversation. I reach a hand out to push the person away and they retract and stand upright and move backwards into the chair a few steps back with it's back to the window. My now confused friend leaves the room and heads outside and I stare at the figure on the chair. Not wanting to fall prey to a lame joke, I pretend to go back to sleep but I watch the figure closely to see if it moves. It doesn't. I wait for what must have been at least five minutes without saying a word then I make my way to the light switch without taking my eyes of the figure but when I switch the light on. It isn't any of my other friends. The chair is empty. I go closer to see if anyone is hiding behind any of the furniture around - maybe the snuck away without me noticing. Nothing.
I look outside and see my friend at the picnic bench. I close the lights and head outside. I ask him who was in the room with us. He says no one and I start getting a bit concerned. I know Laine likes to go along with pranks and such so I assume he's in on in it but he tells me that everyone else is asleep. I recount the story to him and he tries to offer up some explanations but none of them really stick. We both agree on one last point but not before the story takes on last strange turn. I tell him about how me and my other friend, the person sleeping across the cabin but within talking distance, were talking about my friend's dog snoring in his sleep and how I should have picked the sofa he was sleeping on. He agrees. But apparently, this other friend wasn't sleeping in the sofa. He had moved into the common sleeping area with some of the other people.
Spoiler alert: The friend I was talking to just didn't see him wrapped up in a little ball. But that still doesn't explained the mysterious masked shadow...
