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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
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 was handing candy to a little boy who was trick or treating by himself. He was small enough to grab the candy and run past me into my house. I've been searching my house for two hours and still can't find him. I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML
Today, in the early hours of the morning, I woke up in sleep paralysis, hallucinating the sight of children hanging from the ceiling. Now I'm scared to sleep. FML
Today, I woke up to shuffling noises coming from downstairs. Suspecting the worst, I jumped out of bed, and whispered over my shoulder for my girlfriend to stay quiet. Only after going downstairs and taking a swing in the dark with my bat did I figure out it was just my girlfriend foraging for snacks. FML
Today, I took a late-night shower. When I got out afterwards, the bathroom door was ajar, and I could have sworn I heard the faint patter of footsteps in the kitchen. "It's probably the cat," I told myself. Then I went upstairs and saw my cat asleep on my bed. FML
Today, after my house almost got broken into last week, when I heard some noises in the kitchen I went to investigate. I saw a huge rat run across my floor, and nearly peed myself thinking it was an intruder. FML
Today, I woke up to noises in my living room. I was scared, but I loaded my gun and snuck downstairs. I burst into the living room, yelled for the motherfucker robbing me to put his hands up, and flicked on the light. My cat stared back at me like I was a moron then calmly walked out. 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

OP, I admire you following him. I would have gotten the hell away from there.

Set up cameras, it was probably just a trick of the eye, or you have some paranormal gift.

Just as long as you don't start heading children's laughter at night...

you are one brave person, damn. if I saw that, I think I'd shit my pants, no kidding. on the other hand, when I'm laying in my bed at night, and I look into the hallway, I can see a ghost too.. I mean, it's not that I can see it completely, like his nose

I mean, it's not that I can see it completely, like his nose & eyes etc. But I can see a shape, and it's always in the same spot. Floating. This may sound stupid, but I even smiled & waved at the hallway a few times, & after that it just dissapeared. So I figured, if I don't do antthing bad to him, he won't come after me either. But I don't know anything about shadow people, so :/ just be nice to it, don't scream anything bad or something, that'll only make it mad. But since you don't know if it's evil or not; Good luck. If it starts to come after you; run. As far & fast as you can. I wish you the best!

I'd be investigating it. Doesn't sound like you have anything to be afraid of, though. Being a child, I'm betting it's not a malevolent spirit.

I've seen some random stuff in my house. One night I was woken up and when I looked around my room I saw this old lady, clear as day, sitting in front of me, she had a cup of tea, looked in a mirror then disappeared. It was a calm experience. After I saw this we found out that a elderly lady lived in this house before us, and she passed away. Her child lived far away and so the lady passed on her own and all her stuff ended up in a skip because her kid wouldn't come over and sort it out. So sad.

If what you saw was actually there this is amazing, I have always wanted an encounter with something paranormal however no luck yet. Would it be possible for you to record any evidence and share it? Very interested.

Burn the house down. It's the only way to confirm the child has been eliminated... Man, what if you had a little stow away living inside the walls? And it just picked up a hatchet and started cleaving things to death. I mean it would be easy enough. it literally has unlimited access to your entire house.
