Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I was heading to the bathroom when I clearly saw a little boy walking into my bedroom. My wife and I live alone, and I screamed at the top of my lungs, thinking he was a ghost. Turns out my wife collected him from school for a friend, and I just didn't hear them arrive. FML
Today, I faced my fears. I've always had a weird fear of looking out of windows at night, afraid a face would suddenly appear. When I heard a strange noise outside, I looked out the window. Sure enough, the face of a man suddenly appeared. FML
Today, I spent an hour in my car terrified to go inside because I thought my house was being burgled. I saw rapid shadows in the light of my lounge. Eventually I plucked up the courage to creep inside with a rock to find it wasn't a robber. It was my cats, fighting in front of a toppled lamp. FML
Today, I was home alone. I didn't expect anyone to be anywhere near home, so when I got out of the shower, I walked to the living room, naked, to get the tv remote for my room. Only to find the UPS guy standing at our glass front door. I screamed... so did he. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, after spending the evening with friends, I went home and realized that the living room light was on. Thinking someone was robbing me, I hid behind a bush. I got impatient and crept up to the door. Then I remembered that I'd left the light on before I left. FML
Today, as I was going to bed, I spotted a man staring at my window from a neighbor's yard. Ten minutes later, he was still there. I freaked out, started crying, and contemplated calling the cops. My creeper turned out to be the neighbor's wooden lawn ornament. FML

That's almost as nerve racking as hearing the sound of children laughing when you live alone.

Was it your own shadow as you were walking up to your house?

OP just got home from work and saw a figure looking out their bedroom window. Kinda like in horror movies or documentaries. There's no way it could have been their shadow.

"There's no way it could have been their shadow." Were you planning on explaining why not?
aleyp63 13
well if it was, there would have to be a light source from under the op, and directly pointing at the window, which would be weird

Thanks #59

If OP was getting out of a car and walked in front of the car while the lights were still on, then noticed the shadow, it could have been that.
Levvy 22
"well if it was, there would have to be a light source from under the op," Like a car headlight? That, among other things, would qualify. And why does it have to be "from under" anyway? If you remove that seemingly unnecessary criterion, the list of possible causes grows even further, expanding to encompass (among many others) things like streetlights, other cars on the road, light from other buildings, etc.
Levvy 22
Not to mention - as I just forgot to - light sources IN the house. Heck, literally the only difference between this post and the one a few entries down, where the poster thought s/he (I don't recall their gender if it was given) was getting burgled, is the OP of that one successfully figured his/hers out. If s/he'd just assumed "ghost" instead of "burglars", and been too lazy or unobservant to figure out what the problem was, this would be literally the same story.

Hey, it's only a child regardless. You can take him/her.
Mauskau 36
So if a random child was in your house, you'd keep them for yourself?
Invisigirl 7
i think she meant take him/her on, not, like, kidnap them and sell them into slavery
