Apparition in the Middle of the Night

One Saturday night (around 1995), my husband and I went to bed very early. I was sound asleep when suddenly, around 2 A.M., I was awakened by the sound of crumpling paper. The sound was coming from my left. I turned my head, and there, beside the bed, on my side, was an apparition! It had the appearance of a young man with short brown hair and was stripped to the waist! The lower portion of his " body " was transparent, ghost-like. It was also pretty tall, around 6 feet or so.

Now, on my side of the bed was the closet and a lamp. The apparition was standing in front of the lamp and sideways to myself. His head was bending over a little bit and yes, he was crumpling something with his hands. I remember thinking " Oh, this must be my husband, what is he doing there in the middle of the night? " To be sure, I turned around to see if he was really in bed and yes, he was sound asleep! I remember looking at my husband, then at this apparition, then again at my husband and again at this apparition. I wanted to be sure I wasn't dreaming or seeing things. But no! It was real! I couldn't believe it! There beside me was this being from another world, from another realm!

When I fully realized it, my heart started beating like crazy! I really got freaked out. I just leaned on the bed and stared at this apparition. I was scared because this was the unknown, but I tell you, when I think of it now, it really was a peaceful being. I even think that he probably was an angel, or my guardian angel for that matter. Sometimes, I believe, that our guardian angels want us to see them. Yes, in the presence of this being I felt great peace. For a moment, during the experience, I thought " When is he going to leave? ". Just when I thought that, he disappeared! When he disappeared I began sweating and my heart was pounding so hard I thought it was going to jump right out of my body! I hid under the bed covers and eventually, but with much difficulty, fell asleep!
