I was half awake and I saw the most horrible apparition
I was half awake and I looked at my chair and I saw a black figure [non humanoid] and formless, sitting on my chair next to my bed. He had a face although it was the only part of his body that was remotely human. His face was pale white. And his eyes were huge. He was emotionless except his mouth was slightly hanging. His black body was like a blanket draped on a stone pillar. He looked like he was watching me intently, observing as I slept. I saw him and quickly looked away,after that I still saw him by the corner of my eye. Then he darted right at my face and all I see is his scary face. I was so scared, I was paralyzed and felt my whole body literally quivering. I closed my eyes but I still saw him in my head and I felt his presence. So I prayed the Our Father and I opened my eyes and it was gone. Can you explain to me what just happened?
