There are the nights that it does not scare me at all, but other nights it just simply gives me a shiver down my spine. There are a few CCTV cameras around the property where I live. The monitor for the cameras is in my room. As I am a bad sleeper, I often wake up unexpectedly, usually between 12 and 3am. I have no idea if there is something perhaps making a noise that wakes me, but once I’m awake there is no chance of me going back to sleep. This is when I enjoy the complete silence and read, but I can’t help but glance up at the monitor every now and then.
It is the camera on the bottom right that always catches my attention; it picks up a reflection in a window of one of the back rooms, part of my studio in fact. There is a shape of a person standing there, it does not move, and there is no mistaking that is looks like a man.
Every night I look, and the figure is there. It looks as though he is looking out of the window. I have come up really close to the monitor to try to figure out if there is some sort of reflection forming this shape, maybe from other lights and shadows, but have come up with nothing. I have gone outside in the day, and examined the whole area, but I just can’t figure out what is making this weird and rather eerie reflection the window.
The strangest thing as well is that it is there every night, but there was one night that the reflection was not there at all.
As a child, and a teenager, I experienced a few strange things, but never something as consistent as this. I find it so strange and wonder what others think?

Have you done any research on your home – who has lived there, anything in the papers on the area? I find it totally fascinating. XOXO – Bacon
I know the people who lived here before lived in the house for approximately 20 or more years. I don’t know anything more about the history though.
*hugs*
Did they pass in the home? This is a most unique thing happening in your home. Can you freeze frame and post a picture of the ‘man’? I would love to see it. XOXO – Bacon
I could try with the picture. The people retired and moved to the coast.
Okay – so not them. But, did they have any family that might have been closed that passed away… that’s a possibility. Or perhaps something else stood on the land before your building. See I’m psyched. For a little piggy, I watch a *lot* of paranormal shows. I’m not skeered… yet – snorts. XOXO – Bacon
Hehe, I don’t know any other history here. I will see if I can find something out though, just out of interest 🙂
i think u sleep like i do:),,lol… i do da same thing almost evry night at 2 3 er 4 am…mostly i believe mine is because of trained behavior and my “PKD” i gotz to live with, hope u cum up wit a resolution as to what ur errie shadow is though… ok till again , take care happy holidaze :)… Q by da’ way, 🙂 Very Kewl Pic of bird an moon!..hasta. Q 🙂
Thanks Q, happy holidays to you too 🙂
*Hugs*
intriguing puzzle
to peacefully ponder
It is, thank you 🙂
*hugs*
I would have to cover that window or I’d never get any sleep!!! LOL
I think I should do something like that. 🙂
*hugs*
I expect it’s some combination of light and stuff which only happens at that point during the night. Possibly on the night it wasn’t there the conditions weren’t quite right. I’ve seen this sort of thing before.
I’m sure it’s not a ghost 😦
That is how I would like to think of it Dr Ali. Reflections and shadows.
*hugs*
A silent protector?
Possibly Amos, or an optical illusion. I can’t decide.
*hugs*
Huh. Have no idea but I like spooky sometimes. 🙂
I don’t like spooky all that much 🙂
*hugs*
Not movies, but not even stories?
I get scared very easily 🙂
I guess I’m a tough old bird. I will not read any horror when it come to children though.
My daughter loves horror too 🙂
Both my grand kids (almost 10 and six) do too. What’s wrong with this picture?
🙂
😛
I am not a sleeper either, even trying Ambien. I do believe that I would have to muster up the courage AND A FRIEND and go outside and see exactly what is casting the form. I am too curious not to find out ! Be careful but it could be fun too !
I am also too scared to find out at night, although I have checked the area out in the daytime, but cannot figure the shadow out at all.
*hugs*
It’s most likely nothing but you should check it!
How about a remote light aimed at tehat spot so you can see what’s causing the shadow?
I will try something like that, it might help to see if it is just a shadow.
*hugs*
I know that feeling of waking ..for me its always between 1 and 1.30 . I cannot explain what you see . but you might try having someone else sleep where you do and see if they can see this too. Its one more piece of data if nothing…..sorry I cant be more useful .. it kinda creeps me out a bit I confess ..Im a pussy when it comes to the supernatural…
I have actually shown the shadow to someone else and that person also agreed that it looked like a person, but also agreed that it might be reflections. I think that person felt a bit creepy too. 🙂
*hugs*
It would actually be a fun challenge to consider possible explanations and eliminate them by experimentation. This could be started by considering logical angles of reflection, altering curtains or lights, and screening off objects nearby. Also noting down times and conditions when seen.
Actually, one sometimes hopes there ISN’T a logical explanation. I was quite disappointed when I worked out the explanation for our ghost train mystery!
I need to try repositioning the lights around that area I think, maybe it will show the shadow as something different. Maybe that will sort the mystery out.
Thanks Col.
*hugs*
That might be the answer, unless the image comes and goes.
It must be an eerie feeling … I don’t think it’s your imagination but perhaps if you’re sleeping badly and your thoughts wander to a time when you felt insecure your mind feels like it’s real but it is in fact causing you to be in a dreamlike state??? Don”t know if that makes sense or not….. Diane
It does make sense Diane, thank you.
*hugs*
Maybe a spirit guide – there for comfort and not to scare you after all.
Possibly so Doran, thank you.
*Hugs*
Piglove said what I would have asked –
I’m keeping an eye on the shadow, thanks John.
*hugs*
Another great piece, Hope. Try to notice what is different if the figure disappears again. It is amazing what some peculiar shapes turn out to be…
I will do that. The night the shadow was not there I especially checked the next morning, but everything was the same. Thanks Adee.
*hugs*
Well, if it’s someone and nothing happens, he might be watching over you. Also, it could be just shadows and reflections at a certain time of the night. It is eerie though. 😀
I would like to think it is to do with shadows and reflections…or so I hope. Thank you my friend.
*hugs*
Well sometimes one returns where they had the most peace in their life, hope that is the case! Very nice shot, of the bird, it reminds me of an owl on the prowl! Say the words “peace be still”, and you will rest easy! Hugs to you always my sister!
Thank you Wendell, if it is because of peace then it makes me feel comfortable.
*hugs*
well perhaps its time for you to go out between the obscurity and give him a *happyhug*
Hehe, yes, if I had the guts to do so 🙂
*hugs*
Hope you’ll sleep better tonight, and think of some lovely things you have done. Love, thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much Poet.
*hugs*
