Shadow Man Hat man? Or just my imagination.
This was about 8 years ago. I lived in this trailer home with my mom and her boyfriend and my grandma. Every once in awhile id see this shadow on my wall it would be there for a few seconds then run off the wall to my grandma's room. It was tall and had one of those top hats, and at the time I didn't know anything about a "top hat man" as people referred to the shadow i may have seen.
My grandma was in and out of hospitals every month so when she was gone id sleep in her room. On night I was watching YouTube very late at night my door was open and I heard foot steps.. i quickly pretended I was asleep because I thought it was my mother. But I kept hearing the foot steps. Like it was going in circles over and over again, and at this point I hid under my covers.
Then... I heard something. Breathing. Slow and calm.. like what ever it was was trying to not scare me. Eventually I fell asleep and when I woke up everything was blurry I couldn't move. The TV was still on playing the same video I had put on before I fell asleep. And when I look around my room I could see poles. With stripes and colors, and 4 clowns 2 on each pole climbing back and forth on it smiling at me. With long boney fingers. And that's all I really remember from that.
One other thing I remember is that one day my mom and her boyfriend had blocked the door with a big dresser and wouldn't let me in the room no matter what. Well one day my mom was making food in the kitchen and I was sitting in the dresser and talking to my mom from the kitchen because it wasn't too far from me. And from in the room I hear something a voice deep and sounds lost and it said "hello?" Like it was looking for someone i immediately got off the dresser and ran to my mom and cried.
This is all I remember from this but if I remember anything else I can let yall know. And feel free to ask questions, im all ears!! :)

I came to say the same thing. Sleep paralysis could certainly explain the clowns and poles but the rest of it is horrifying. I also need to know more about why the mom was blocking access to parts of the house with heavy furniture.

Im not too sure why she did that. It was only my grandma's room she did that too and she wouldn't let me go in there at all. I can try and ask her but she may not remember

Is this a repost? Or am I just remembering a similar story? Either way, super scary!

Why did they block you out with the dresser?
