Hope I'm not late for this. A few months ago i was just going to sleep and all of a sudden i see a random figure at my door frame just going up and down (sorts like squats but without the hands raised Infront). When i saw it i froze and got so scared and a few seconds later i bolted to the lights. When i was getting out of my bed, it stood up and as i was running to the lights it just went to my sister's room (right next to mine). Happened 1 or 2 more times and then it stopped. I also have a big phobia of spiders and if i see on right before i go to bed i keep opening my eyes every 3-5 seconds to look around and if i manage to fall asleep i wake up 1-2 times and see a random shadow of a spider Infront of me (happens everytime). Last time it happened was around a month ago when my dad was sleeping in my room because my mother had recently given birth and because she cries a lot he wakes up and can't get enough sleep. I was going to sleep at around 2:30 am when i saw a spider on my wall so i killed it immediately and when i went to sleep i was terrified. I even saw a spider crawl up on my dad (probably was around 0.5cm) so i just lightly hit his pillow but couldn't feel anything. I kept opening my eyes every 3-5 seconds but i eventually fell asleep and when i woke up about an hour later i saw a random shadow of a spider coming down from my ceiling. Turned on my TV immediately to see if i can find the spider and then stayed awake until 4am (it was 3:30 am when i woke up). My dad woke up and asked me why I'm still awake. I wasn't able to tell him. Eventually i went back to bed and woke up at the usual time i wake up. Would say the shadow one is the scariest, and no it wasn't sleep paralysis
