Saw something in my apartment re-post
This occured two, going on three years ago. The weird stuff hasn't really stopped, but nothing this blatant has occured again. I don't know that they really make mistakes, but I don't not know that, either. Make of it what you will:
So this is going to sound crazy as hell.
Here goes.
I'm in my apartment about a month, maybe two months ago. My roomate just texted me and told me that he was going to head on to work. About five minutes after that I get up from my desk ( I have a gaming PC that's barely holding itself together) and go toward the kitchen for a refill on my coffee.
The following all took place within the next sixty seconds.
I leave my room and am moving down the hall toward the kitchen and the entrance to my place. I see a shadow being cast onto the rug at the entrance from someone standing in my kitchen. I even hear someone moving around the silverware, forks butterknives, that kinda thing.
My first thought, my room mate hasn't left yet. I say "Hey man, you still here?" and continue walking toward the kitchen and entrance. The whole time theres sounds of like...a chain jingling and a buzzing sound. I round the corner and no one is in my kitchen. So, my second thought is, it must be his dog. It roams free in the apartment and has this harness on so maybe it was shaking her "clothes". I wait a second for the dog to come out the other side of the kitchen but after about five seconds I'm becoming very puzzled.
With furrowed eye brows and a confused frown on my face I lean in to look out the peep hole on the door to see what's going on outside my apartment door, and I still hear the jingling chain and the footsteps, almost like someone was walking a large dog past my front door. Whatever it is that's happening, I don't see anyone so I assume it's something happening out of view out there and just shrug my shoulders. Oh well, right?
Here's the weird part.
I turn around and am immediately faced with what I'm going to describe as a gray, leaning around the corner with one three fingered hand touching the wall. It looks....insubstantial. Like it's made of smoke or fog. I gasp and step back, and it ducks back around the corner without a sound. I start saying things like "It's ok you can come out, I won't hurt you." and "I'm sorry you just startled me." Of course there's no reply.
I go up and inspect the corner where I saw it, and there isn't enough room for someone to stand there and peek around, much less to hide from someone coming into the apartment. There's like four inches of clearance between the edge and the T.V. so unless someone was two inches wide they wouldn't fit there.
Look, I know as well as you that this sounds crazy as hell, but I swear that's the truth of what happened. Maybe it's stress, and I hallucinated it. Maybe I'm actually sick and need medication for some kind of chemical imbalance. I don't want to be a schizophrenic.
Yes, before you ask, before that and every single night since I see things out of the corner of my eye, but when I turn to look there's nothing there. But not once have I felt threatened or afraid. I remember watching this youtube video about lizard people having "wardrobe malfunctions" on live T.V. , I know it's probably all bunk but I enjoy a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy. It's entertainment. I just don't want to be the crazy guy. I had watched this video and honestly didn't have a single thing on my mind when the encounter began. I just recall that was what I was doing when it started.
I figure I'm going to get a bunch of people probably saying hateful things and I can't help that, or how they feel, the only thing I can do is try and be honest with the world and with myself. I may be cracking up.
Tldr: saw something peeking at me from around the corner in my apartment. I'm afraid that it's some kind of psychoses as I've heard that seeing things out of the corner of your eye is a sign. Or it's a gas leak.
