About 5 years ago, I had to travel interstate for work related training. I had arrived at the hotel late and checked into my room. Anyway, I had a shower and watched a bit of television in bed before trying to get some sleep as I knew I had to be up early the next morning.
It was a large room, with two queen sized beds. The beds had lights built in to the actual headboards. Anyway, as I was in a strange new place I thought I would leave the headboard lights on, and also the bedside lamp just in case I needed to get up during the night. I spent the night tossing and turning, until I must have briefly fallen asleep sometime in the early hours of the morning.
I was facing the left hand side of the bed lying on my side when I woke up and felt a presence behind me. I turned around to see what I can only describe as a small shadow man lying on his side facing me. I don't understand why, but for some reason was not at all freaked out by this, and actually just rolled back over and went to sleep with my back facing him.
As soon as my alarm clock went off maybe an hour later, that was the first thing I remembered and couldn't believe that I had been ok with the experience! I can only say that I never felt threatened and knew he (I just felt it was a he, there were no physically distinguishing characteristics to identify it as a male) was just there watching me and meant no harm. Bearing in mind there were lights on in the room at the time, and I remember the fact that he was smaller than an adult male. The only person I ever told of this experience was my husband, but it's an experience that I will never forget.
