One night at bedtime, I put my daughter to bed and then crawled into bed by my wife and left our bedroom door open to hear if she needed anything in the night or so she could come sleep by us if she got scared. An hour or so passes and my daughter crawls in by us and I’m so tired I just leave the door open (normally I close and lock it if we’re all in there). A few hours pass and I hear what I thought was my kid walking down the hallway and stopping by the side of my bed and then I realize she is already in bed by us.
Then I hear a scraping noise on our blanket and I try to open my eyes and see what’s going on. I have a hard time and realize I must be having sleep paralysis and that I need to wake myself up somehow, but before I can I see a short silhouette of a person dragging a kitchen knife from our knife drawer over the blanket above my legs. The silhouette is just pure black I cannot make out any features and I’m done seeing this shit so I attempt to toss around and make noise so my wife could wake me. I wake up and my wife is fully awake and our daughter is awake and crying about a grumpy face man scaring her in her sleep.
The next day after my wife gets home from work I discuss what I saw and she gets the chills and tells me the reason she was awake to hear me was because she saw the exact same thing standing by her side of the bed and using the lights from her phone and watch chargers like its eyes. We compared our specifics from what we saw in our sleep more and the encounters were identical. I’ve told this online before and mouth breathers just chalk it up to sleep paralysis and nothing more and I normally would too, but the fact the three of us had a shared nightmare of the same shit and all woke up at the same time is what scares me. I checked our house for gas leaks and carbon monoxide and nothing like that was found.
