About 5 years ago I was at the age of 7, me and my brother had decided to sleep in the family room, which was located in the basement. My brother slept on the couch and I slept on the loveseat which was located by the doorway of the family room. I was sleeping with my face towards the back of the loveseat. At about six or seven in the morning, I had just opened my eyes from a good sleep. When all of a sudden I felt this hand touch me on my arm. Something was telling not to turn and look. Then the hand began to shake me. That's when I turned and saw a tall dark man with large eyes, large round nostrils, and an afro. He didn't smile, instead he looked at me with a blank face. I can't really recall what I did after that but I will never sleep with my back towards the door.
