I was only about aged 4, and had a dream I was going into my parents' bedroom. When I went into the room, I saw a dark figure sitting on the bed opposite facing away from me.
As it turned around, all I could see was a silhouette of a person, completely black, with white oval eyes. I remember feeling a great sense of foreboding, and went out of the room quickly.
When I woke up, I was pretty frightened. There is no way I could have known what a shadow person was as such a young child, and I don't remember seeing any pictures etc that would have had an influence.
Anyone else had a similar type of experience?
