I decided after posting on this site for 2 years to tell you my experiences. Both are very similar.
The first occurred when I was about 4 years old and I was staying at my grandparents in the middle of the country. They had a large house and I slept in a family room with my mum & dad. I was in a single bed in the corner next to the window. Opposite my bed was a large old fashioned wardrobe.
Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night and on the wardrobe door was the large face of a fox. It looked scary but I remember being fascinated with it and knelt at the end of my bed just looking at it. I thought there must have been a light source causing it so tried waving the curtains round but with no change. Now, I know that there would be no way that light from outside would have caused the face - just because there was no street lights where the house was. I tried waking my parents up to show them the truly spooky thing on the door but they just carried on snoring!
The second 'thing' that happened to me was when I was about 10 years old. I was back home in my own bed and I also woke up in the middle of the night (I was an insomniac even as a kid ). In the far left hand corner, next to the door was what looked like a silhouette of a girl with a bob haircut (she was in silhouette) but it was like I was seeing a negative of her in a square window, with her surrounded by light. Again, I tried to come up with rational explanations for it but there was no light from outside even though it was a terrace house in a town this time. Nothing had any effect on the light, except when I got out of bed and put my hand over the silhouette on the wall, I even tried to move my hand around the light a few feet from the wall and that didnt affect it. This time it was about at head height - at the same height as me at the age 10.
I remember feeling really calm when these happened - although later on I was a bit freaked out, especially when it came to the fox's face - there was something quite evil about it when I think about it now. I do know I was wide awake both times. I am just intrigued to see if anyone can shed any light on what they were or if there has been similar postings on the FT boards.
