Do you know what this could possibly be ?

Question

I have had insomnia for quite some time now . So i finally get to sleep Saturday night and wasn't asleep but for maybe 2 or 3 hours. I woke up and turned on my tv. Well for some odd reason I fell asleep within maybe a minute of turning on my tv. Therefore leaving it on. It had maybe been 45 minutes to an hour that I was asleep when my bedroom door opened. My door sticks to the trim so i know when it is opened immediately. So i wake up and realize there is a black figure looking at me from my doorway. I figured it was probably just my mom so I blew it off. Well it stared at me for maybe a total of 30 seconds and left. I then remembered my tv and turned it off. Then instantly fell asleep . I woke again at 7:30 a.m. and realized my door was not closed all the way. well i get out of bed to go see if my mom was up yet and realized she was at her boyfriends house still. I was still groggy from waking to realize that that meant it had not been my mom looking at me in the doorway. i need to know what that black figure could be . i lock my doors and i have an alarm system . My house also has been known for other odd things such as this. please help me.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if my experience is the same, but I can remember when I finished college I had dreams of a presence. I didn't see a figure, but I could see everything in my apt. as it was. I would try to scream and couldn't. Nor could I wake myself.

When I found a job, the dreams stopped. I guess I was anxious about finding a job.

Your experience was way creeper.

Answer 2

This is a symptom of sleep paralysis. Along with strange noises and sensations, lots of people have reported seeing black figures.

Answer 3

Could be an intruder, maybe your mom came home and then left again, or perhaps it is just a hallucination.
