Believer here!
When I was little there was a man's figure that would apear in my bedroom doorway. He was a large man with a rimmed hat. Just stood facing us. Same house on one occasion there was a young boy who climbed onto my top bunk. I felt the bed moving and heard him talking to me, but I was paralized and couldn't yell. He told me that we needed to leave, that it was thier house and if we stay they will kill us. Luckily we moved shortly after. I had horrible dreams when we lived in that house.
There were several other encounters over the years as we moved about frequently.
I moved into my current house about 3 yrs ago. It's a 20 yr old log home. The man who built it and lived in it with his son and son's family, died a few yrs earlier. For the first several nights I was visited by a scraggly old man who was doing a terrible job of trying to frighten me. His long skinny arm reached through my bedroom window and grabbed me in my bed. Next night he stood on the end of my bed (I was paralized each time). This happened a few nights in a row.
I didn't mention it to my teenage daughters. Until one of them told me of her strange dream that an old man was shaking her bed. He didn't say anything to either of us.
Finally I dreamed of him walking up the side yard in the sun with others...all smiling.
Haven't seen him since.
