I was sound asleep, and then I woke suddenly.  I didn’t think anything of it at first and then I looked to my right.

Standing there was a tall cloaked man. His head nearly touched the ceiling. Inside his jacket, I saw what is comparable to a severely emaciated man. He looked to be made out of bone. The thing that stood out to me the most however was his hat. It covered what would have been this man’s eyes if he even had any to begin with. I kept trying to tell myself it was only a dream, but I wasn’t waking up.

I closed my eyes hoping to wake up or get rid of the being just staring at me. When I opened my eyes again he was still there only this time he was sitting on the bed just staring at me. This time I closed my eyes and squeezed them shut. I read a study on sleep paralysis that suggested you focus on your toes wiggling them and then you work your way up. I did just that and to my luck, it worked. When I opened my eyes again thought he was gone. I hope I never have an encounter with him again.
