When I was around 5, I moved to this nice house in Chicago, but things got quite..scary. I noticed my shadow moving while I wasn't, especially whenever I would get into bed, I would see my mom's shadow crawling up near me.(she was ASLEEP right next to me.) That night, only at 9 years old, I prayed to every god I knew. Suddenly, the shadows I saw, back to normal. The next day, I told my mom about it, and she said "all shadows move, its normal." But this wasn't.

The next night, while I was almost asleep, I noticed the shadows had formed a circus. After I noticed that, I felt a strong feeling that I had to fall asleep right away. I didn't listen. Suddenly, (I still cannot tell if I was imagining thos, but it seemed pretty real) I saw the clown (from the circus) face towards me. After that I fell asleep right away. I couldnt remember my dreams for a week after that.

Conclusion:can anyone explan? Or anyone has similar experiences from this?
