Creepy true story's from Reddit

I confronted a strange figure LIVING in my living room (100% TRUE)

Okay, so this story is true. I'm not schizophrenic but I may have an imagination. Till this say I get haunted by this and my family thinks I've lost my mind but here it goes.

So 4 years ago (I was in school) and my friends were talking about a shadow of man that they saw in a sleepover. They said that they swear they saw him but I just laughed. (I didn't believe in spirits or ghosts at the time). 2 years ago I watched a TV series of Americas Horror stories (or something like that) where someone said that they also saw this shadow of a man. I still didn't buy this and laughed it off.

Now let's talk about what happend.

I woke up at around 5:30 in the morning to get ready for school. I did my normal routine. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then suddenly I heard someone whispering. It sounded like English but I couldn't understand it. The whispering started to get louder but I said "it's nothing, it's probably me imagining things." I didn't think about it twice. So after that I asked my mom if she was speaking on the phone or something (my mom was the only one awake and I thought the whispering was from her) but she said that she was just scrolling through facebook.

Okay now for the part that haunts me till this day.

I have two living rooms where I live. One small one and a big one. The big one no one uses, only if we invite a lot of people so it is usually dark. Normally the doors are closed for this living room but this time it was open. I was preparing my bag which was In front of the big living room and suddenly I heard footsteps. I didn't see anyone in the living room and my apartment is big and my mom was at the end of the apartment, so it is impossible for the footsteps to be my moms.

Suddenly I saw a shadow. Now I'm calling it a shadow but it isn't really a shadow. It's a figure in the dark that's shaped like a man. I thought it was my dad at first because he likes to scare me all the time. So I thought to scare him. I went into the living room and scared the dark figure, which I thought it was my dad. But I scared the figure and nothing happens. The figure just stared at me, so I started to panic. For no reason at all. I ran to my mom and told her there is someone in the living and she opened the lights and there was no one. Which freaked me out because I swear I saw someone. If it was a thief, he couldn't have escaped in 5 seconds. I went to my dad's room and he was there. Sleeping.
