(Thread prompted by the one about seeing someone with lizard eyes, who is possessed by a demon)
I have once. Waken from a dead cold sleep, my girlfriend and future wife said to me "we're not alone". I looked at the foot of the bed and their was a very angry young boy. I was shocked and became afraid myself as I sensed a power there, and then, like a balloon popping, he vanished.
She asked me what I saw, I said a very angry young boy, who looked to be age 9-10. She confirmed that was what she saw too.
I suppose it could have been an angry guardian angel, or even a passing demon, but let's go with ghost.
I have never doubted things spiritual since that day. I was about age 19.
How dark was it?
Middle of the night dark, but some ambient light from moon, and electronics in the room, etc. I remember a faint yellow light that seemed to emanate from the ghost, but I can't be sure.
I see. So is it possible there were just some shadows and things that looked like a boy in the dark? Until there was a change to the electronic light, trees casting shadows moved or you and your girlfriend moving?
All I can say is I saw what I saw when I saw it (if you catch the movie reference).
