I can relate to your story! Reminds me of the time all my clothes started shaking on their hangers as I was getting dressed for work. It was an earthquake, but my first thought was: GHOSTS!
This reminds me of sleep paralysis. When your brain is awake but your body isn’t. People have all kinds of hallucinations during episodes and a lot of ghost/demon/alien stories end up being attributed to it.
I’ve only had it happen one time. I was in college and woke up before my alarm to this dark, heavy, humanoid presence laying on top of me. I couldn’t move or speak, I was absolutely terrified. I didn’t even brush my teeth before I left for class, I just wanted to get the fuck out of the apartment.
I learned about sleep paralysis later, after a bit of research, and was super relieved 😅 Also very relieved it’s never happened again, even though the explanation is mundane, it’s still terrifying.
My brain has done stuff like that to me, but usually at night when I'm on my own... it's never fun to have an active imagination at times like those.
