I saw shadowy figures in my bedroom the other night....?

Question

I woke up the other night, still really sleepy, I saw one dark shadowy figure (human form) and what looked like a white shadowy figure right beside it, except it wasn't as human shaped like the other one. They both were near my bed, but not over me. For some reason, it didn't startle me and I went right back to sleep.

I woke up again, the same night, and I saw a dark shadowy human figure on my wall. Just like before, I went right back to sleep. Both times, my TV was on, and I think thats what kept waking me up because I normally don't sleep with the TV on, but I was so tired. And these were not shadows from the TV.

I didn't analyze what I saw until I woke up that morning.

A few years ago, my roommate woke me up, calling my name telling me she saw a dark shadowy figure on the wall on my side of the room. It scared us for a couple of days, but we eventually forgot about it.

Any thoughts??

Answer 1

Could have been anything -- except ghosts or other supernatural phenomena, which are unreal.

It might have been due to a light outside; or just the fact that you were partly asleep.

It's really common so see all sorts of shapes in the dark or semi-dark. When we have partial images, we "see" things that aren't really there in them. We tend to interpret what we see and hear as human, even when it isn't at all.

(Like seeing faces in clouds, for instance. Or hearing soft noises that our brain tells us are human voices.)

Why do you say it wasn't shadows from the TV? It could well have been either from the TV or from reflections of light from the TV bouncing around, or making shadows.
