When i were younger about the age of 6-8, i lived with my nan at the time, and as children do i set up a play tent in the diningroom, and decided to sleep there that night instead of going to bed, The light from the livingroom was left on over night, And i woke up during the night and still able to see pretty clearly from the light in the other room, what i saw when i had woken during the night was the silloutte of a 'small person' the only people who were in at the time was myself, my nan, and my grandad, and my dad. The figure was really short about, not even 3ft, it had a large over sized head, and was staring directly at me, it had big black eyes lemon shaped, and it had grey/greenishh type of skin, It looked like something from a film like a special effect. It was holding up the cover to my tent at the opening. Which was probably what woke me up, alot of light seaping into the tent, I'm really not great at wording things,
But this is my experiance let me know what you think, Also i should note, i had not taken any toys into the tent.
This was the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me and when i saw this creature i felt paralysed and i had the feeling that if i moved, i would get attacked.

wow, that sounds really terrifying. What did you do when u saw that creature? díd it just go away like that or did it try to get into your tent, perhaps trying to communicate with you? i can honestly say, if it had happened to me, despite feeling paralysed i would have screamed at the top of my lungs as soon as i was able to. sounds a lot like an alien or something similar. After that encoúnter, have you ever had another experience?

I love camping but I always imagine creepy things peering in through the flaps that lead to the tent, i would have passed out or something if that happened!! your quite brave,

also known as night terrors and the old hag syndrome. Happens to many many people and I've experienced it myself.

I have night terrors, but I also have an anxiety disorder.( I don't know if there linked .)

I share a room with my sister and she says I just get up out of bed with my eyes still closed and scream help and feel around the walls and then get slowly quieter and then fall to the ground on the spot. She must get my mum or something though cause i always wake up back on my bed :\
