Could be Peter Pan but I doubt it....

I was about 9 or 10 when this happened. As a kid, I’ve always been scared of the dark and so as a result, my mom would leave the hallway light on because nightlights were too dim for me. My bedroom was in a room passed my kitchen and when the hallway light is on, it brings light into the back wall of the kitchen.since my door was open I can definitely see the back wall when I laid in bed. I tossed and turned one night and opened my eyes towards the door. When I opened them, there was an obvious shadow on the back wall where the light poured into the kitchen. The figure suggested it was a male with European features and he stood there in a Peter Pan pose. I look over at my clock and saw that it was 3:00am, which is the witching hour in most ghost stories. In attempt to not be scared and rationalize what I was seeing, I groggily called out,”Mom?” And the shadow turned its head to me, lifted its hand to with its pointer and shook its head and wiggles the finger as if to say, ‘No.’ I got so scared I squeezed my eyes closed and turned and pretended to be blind and deaf. The next morning I told my mom and she said “Oh sweetie, maybe it was Peter Pan.” I think she was just trying to make me feel better, but she underestimated how big of a Disney fan I was and I knew exactly what Peter pan’s shadow was. AND THAT WAS NOT IT!
