When I was younger there was a little man in a dark cape and a top hat that would chase me down the hall, only when leaving my bedroom, and when the hall light was not on. (which was always cause dad didn't like wasting energy) haha I remember being so scared I would run so fast. don't I never mentioned it to anyone else.
Not until I was much older and no longer lived at home, I never saw this little man again, but my niece also expereinced the same thing when she stayed at my parents house as a child. it gave me the chills to know i was not the only one who saw this shadow person.
My father still lives in this house and I do not believe my children have ever seen this shadow person yet i know he stayed in the hallway, and only liked to scare children....
Mom use to always say someone lived among us because of many strange things that happened in our home, but thats another story or two.,
