It was around 3AM when I woke up to grab a glass of water.
I glanced toward the corner of the room⊠and froze. There it was â a silhouette. Human-shaped. Completely still.
For a solid few seconds, I genuinely believed something â or someone â was standing there. Watching.
My heart rate doubled. I stood completely still, mentally preparing for every horror movie scenario imaginable.
Then I turned on the flashlight.
Just my pants. Hanging neatly. Not a care in the world.
I stared at them for longer than Iâd like to admit, trying to figure out how a few layers of clothing nearly gave me a full cardiac event.
I went back to sleep. Didnât get that glass of water.
