While half-asleep, I heard and saw my door creak and open wide. Then when I woke up later, it was fully closed. Is it possible I hallucinated it? (monyet.cc)

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy one of those bedside sleep sound recorders. There's just too much iffy shit you hear on those, if you listen closely and you hear stuff you can't ever forget. I tried it once. The one I had would skip to the places where there was noise.

I heard my snore stop suddenly, like my breath stopped or a hand over my mouth silenced me, and then I hear a clear whisper "Don't wake up!"

I don't know if it was me talking or what, but I'd rather not know the noises in my room at night! Never again for me.

Uh oh, r/writingprompts is leaking! (Is what I'm telling myself)

This seems like it could be turned into a r/nosleep story

I could never use one of those unless it also had a camera with it. If shadowmen are going to mess with me in my sleep, they'll have to live with having their images captured on camera.

Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It might seem stupid but I didn't want any connection to it. I actually ended up burning it

Luckily you didn't wake up, that could've been very bad.

I need you to wake up now.
