Summary
She says it started when she was young—waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a dark shape hovering over her. She always convinced herself it was just a dream.
But it didn’t stop.
Years later, she woke up in a hospital room to multiple shadowy figures near her bed… and then one night, it followed her to her sister’s house.
This time, it didn’t disappear.
It moved across the room—toward her niece—and seconds later, her niece woke up screaming, saying something was holding her down.
Now the shadows still show up from time to time. Not long enough to understand… but enough to make her question what she’s really been seeing all these years.
