Little boy with no eyes

One night when I was 10, I was asleep in bed and was woken up by my bedroom door opening then someone sitting on my bed. I opened my eyes only to see a pale, eyeless boy sitting at the foot of my bed with his legs crossed "staring" at me, or facing my direction since he had no eyes.

He then reached his hand toward, holding what looked like a little black box. I was freaked out, but as I reached to grab it, he hesitantly pulled back. I reached out further for it and said "give it". As I did so, I blinked, and he was gone.

Fast forward 5 years, I had my girlfriend over to do homework. After homework she took a nap while she waited for her parents to pick her up. When they arrived, I tried waking her to let her know. I nudged her, and she opened her eyes looking in the direction of the corner of the room, and pointed, before falling asleep again. I woke her again and she said, "I thought I was dreaming, but up on the wall I saw a little boy with no eyes just there and staring at me."

Fast forward another 5 years, still with the same girlfriend, and by this time we had a 2 year old daughter. We were living in my old bedroom at my parents house. My daughter would wake up at the same time every night and start talking. For a while we thought it was a normal baby thing, until I noticed it was almost the same conversation every night. I playfully asked her one night who she was talking to every night. She responded, "A little little boy, he talks to me, he's nice. He's lost and looking for his mommy."

I told my mom what happened the next morning and before I got to tell her what I thought, she said "I remember when that happened to you, then your girlfriend, I have no idea what that is" By then, neither my girlfriend or I have seen the "little boy" after our first encounter, but my daughter continued her nightly conversations until we got our own place later that year.
