Hi, First of all, I have to clarify that English is not my native language, and I had to translate this with ChatGPT. If something is not understood, it may be because of that.
When I was a kid, I lived with my parents in our first house. One night, we were watching The Passion of the Christ together. At some point, I got bored of the movie and decided to go to the bathroom.
To get there, I had to pass by my parents' bedroom. As I walked by, I saw something that still haunts me to this day:
a huge, tall, grayish figure with an extremely skeletal body was coming out of their room.
I froze. I didn’t know what to do, so I ran back to the living room where my parents were. I started shouting, trying to tell them there was a man in their room—but it was like they couldn’t hear me.
When I looked back the figure was even closer. I panicked and closed my eyes. But even with my eyes closed, I could still see it—clear as day. I put my hands over my face, trying to block the image but it was still there.
Then, suddenly, I felt like I had been snapped back into place. I was sitting on the couch again, exactly where I had been before I “got up” to go to the bathroom.
I told my parents everything I had just experienced. They looked at me strangely and told me that I never moved from the couch. According to them, I hadn’t said or done anything.
