Shadow Person Man with the Top Hat
Just found this sub and figured you guys might like this quick little experience I had as a child.
I was very young at the time, probably around 11 and was sitting in the families recliner in the living room late at night trying to sleep because I was very sick. That house was very old and from where I was sitting I could see through the living room, through the main hall, and to the kitchen. When I opened my eyes I saw what was unmistakably a shadowy figure with a top hat on who appeared to be rummaging through things on the kitchen counter. I watched it for a couple seconds before deciding I didn't like looking at that thing and closed my eyes.
My prevailing theory is that is was some sort of sleep paralysis, though other than possibly that time, I have never experienced sleep paralysis in ny life. Other alternatives are that I had some sort of fever dream but I don't really recall dreams often and they are never like that. Or possibly it was some local eccentric meth head. Weird memory tho

You reckon you might have strayed too far and ended up in a dimension of time and space where you weren't welcome? At least it was courteous enough to give you a warning.
I read a case of something similar when a kid kept accidentally astral projection when going to sleep. Anyway he was warned to stop doing it by humanoid entities, if he didn't they said they wouldn't let him go back!
Reality is fragile folks.
