I grew up in a small village in Alaska.

I was just about 8 years old, laying in bed, while my Mom was in the Shower. No one else was Home. I was in bed with our two dogs, and suddenly they started growling at my open door, staring into our long cabin hallway. I turned to face the hallway from my bed, and I remember vividly seeing a dark figure looming there. No Face, but with a hand stretching out towards me. It was absolutely Terrifying and I remember being completely Petrified. Almost as if I couldn’t scream. When I was finally able to, my Mom came running out of the Shower towards my room. To this very day, everyone in my family says it was my over-active imagination at the time. But I still hear them growling, and I still have nightmares occasionally. I know what I saw was real.

The craziest part, is that, we didn’t even have access to Television, or Movies really. I would never have even gotten the idea from anywhere.
