My sister did see a dark black shadow in her home in the city in 1987 or so.  She was up at night and she said the shadow was not tall but small and she ran after it into a bedroom and it went into the closet and that was it.  When they moved she hoped that the entity would not go with them.  They went on a farm that was over 100 years old and the children did not feel comfortable in one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor, so it became the toy room and no one slept in it.

I have an aunt who had one in the corner of the room one night demanding she give him her baby.

My niece was lying on her bed one night when one crossed along the ceiling.

I had a friend in school who had one standing over her bed one night when she woke up, she was paralyzed and it would not go away for a long time.

I would blow this off, but 21 years ago I turned off the lights and crawled into bed and happened to look into the closet. Although it was almost pitch dark in the room there was a shadow in the closet and it's eyes were glowing red. With a roar it rushed across the room and I rolled onto my stomach, it was growling and I could feel and hear the slaps like I was being punched in the kidneys. That was all I remember until I woke the next morning and my kidneys were sore all day.

Prior to that when I was in kindergarten I would wake up in the middle of the night and there would be lights floating on the walls and once when I was in the 6th grade I felt a presence and the hair on my neck was standing up when I heard a distinct and clear diabolical laugh but there was no one there.

Hope none of this stuff ever happens again.
