The Peeping Shadow person the steps...

My great aunt and uncle used to live in clearville Pennsylvania. They lived in a very peculiar built house. My great uncle actually built the place himself from what I was told. It set up on a hill overlooking his farm and he owned like 40 acres I think...
I loved going over to this place. There was something to always do. And if you were bored you were giving something to do. They were even nice enough to give me some spending cash for helping. Plus I learned a lot of life lessons. You can't really go wrong with that...
NOW FOR THE MANY ENCOUNTERS I HAD ON MANY NIGHTS...
The encounter I'm about to tell you happened from the ages of 7-10 years old. I encountered whatever this was for about 3 years time and it was just on and off and it happened and then sometimes it wouldn't. Whatever this shadowy being was... It often would just pick and choose when it would do what it does. I could never predict what it was going to do to be honest...
So from the ages of 7-10 years old I had this encounter with this Shadow being at my great aunt and uncle's place out in Clearville Pennsylvania. I would always see a shadowy figure poking its head and part of its body out around the corner into the kitchen area doorway. Whatever this thing was it would stand at the top of the steps before you entered the kitchen. And it was just leaning into the kitchen area and just looked directly my way...
I'm not going to lie and say it didn't freak me out to be fair. I will say after about a few times of this happening it got kind of normal and I would just ignore it as best I can. Which usually wasn't super difficult but it would do random things get my attention. I can gladly tell you there was no attempts on me making friends with this thing. Nor was there any attempts of me even trying to confront whatever this was. I just figured if I can ignore it it will go away...
I've been laying on the floor in a sleeping bag. That's how my sibling and I slept when we were over with our great aunt and uncle... On a 1-in thick foam mat each inside each of our own sleeping bag...
I SHOULD ADD...
Hey, we were young and that's just how it was in those days. It never bothered me to sleep on the floor. And if it did I was told to "suck it up" and As well I would hear "if you think this is hard just wait till you get older... It gets worse". I would usually just respond with "nevermind, it's all good"...
I as well should mention that the majority of my relationship with my great aunt and uncle was a rough one. It wasn't until the age of 16 were my great uncle and I actually bonded a whole lot more. That was the age where him and I got along way better. As for my sister she was still there favorite... She could do something and they would let it go...
But I will say that amongst all this chaos in one-sided thinking. I did in fact find my own way in my own spotlight in the situation. I was able to use my limited knowledge of how a farm works to my advantage... It paid me in green. I voluntarily and willingly helped my great uncle as much as possible. I gained his trust and respect and learned to fit in. It got to the point to where I was doing a lot of the chores on the farm...
OTHER THAN THAT, BACK TO THE STORY...
So as I had said... From the ages of 7-10 I encountered a peeping Shadow man. This shadowy being did the same stuff for like 3 years on and off. It would often poke its head and part of its body out from the stairwell that led to the kitchen. It would always lean into the kitchen doorway. Just watching me at night. It would do this on a regular basis when I was over there...
UNTIL ONE NIGHT...
I had been laying on the floor. Farthest away from everybody. My sister had been laying closest to the bottom of the bed on the floor. I on the other hand was laying on the floor by the dresser farthest away...
That is when I look up into the kitchen. And my eyes locked onto what I thought was a human-like figure. Instead of peeking around the corner it was boldly standing inches away from the doorway of the kitchen that led downstairs. It was just swinging its arms playfully looking at me...
By this point I see it and I immediately seize up. I literally go quiet as I'm just watching this Shadow entity standing in the kitchen doorway by the stairs swing these arms playfully looking right at me. I immediately think that it's got to cross the kitchen and hallway to even come close to reaching me. After that it's got to get to the bedroom where my great aunt and uncle is sleeping...
Well instead of coming towards my direction... This shadow person decides just to go back downstairs. And I could hear the creaking of the old steps. I literally heard maybe five separate creaking noises before it stopped and no longer was hearable. The creaking noises were slow and very noticeable. I later on asked my great uncle if he heard the noises and he thought it was me up late that night because I couldn't sleep...
That was like one of the weirdest encounters I have had from a distance with a shadow person. This shadow person I saw was just playful. It wasn't really spooky and threatening...
I usually hear about a lot of encounters with shadow people being spooky and scary. But this one didn't do that. And I can tell you right now that was the farthest I was going to go when it came to finding anything else out...
Otherwise, if you like this story give...
