For several years as a kid, i would wake up every night at exactly 3:30 am and see several silhouettes of tall humanoid figures standing in my door way. After closing and opening my eyes a few times they would be gone. At first i thought it was a dream, but i would literally pinch myself so hard i would have bruises on my arms the next day. I was always too scared to scream, and never mentioned it to my parents. It never happened when i was sleeping somewhere else, or if friends slept over.
In my 20's, I finally told my mom about what i saw all those years ago. She was shocked and claimed to have seen the same thing around the same time when we lived in that house. Whenever she told my dad he didn't believe her. She believes it was spirits, but i always felt it was aliens. Today i have no idea what it was. I try to rationalize it as Sleep Paralysis but i truly have no idea.
