Ghost Story? Real One, Welcome! 💕

This reminds me of a dream I had. For a while, I used to get sleep paralysis often. It was always the same ceiling, and then suddenly I couldn't move my body. When I tried to move my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar man's face right next to me. I couldn't see his face even though he was so close. "Aoo aoo aee (State your name)" Oh my, I couldn't even move my tongue properly. As I forced strength into my arms and tried to grab him, he slowly faded away. All that remained was my usual room and a clear consciousness. Without even turning on the light, I washed my face and looked into the mirror, but there was nothing there. I shook my head left and right, trying different angles, but outside there was the glow of streetlights and the occasional sound of cars. It was a normal night. It seems I was dreaming with my eyes open. Other times, I've had my ankle grabbed and I've grabbed back, or the doorknob was rattled (that was genuinely scary), but I've never actually met the 'real one' even once. It was a story that might be a bit of a late ghost story, or maybe not 😊
