Our shadow visits

[brit]

well i felt i should explain that this story is about me. im the 17 yr old who sees the shadow people! ahah. well here's what actually happened (i mean it in such a nicer way then it sounds, nothing she said wasn't what happened but i also am not the best at explaining anything when in a frantic but its been a few months so im good )
so that day i was sleeping and im normally a pretty solid sleeper, i rarely get up in the middle of the night. that night i got up at about 2:15 am, i adjusted my eyes to see the time on my phone and thought "hm thats weird, ill just go back to sleep" i put my phone down and laid there for not more then 30 seconds and this thing bolts out of my parents room. it was short, slender, and very fast. it came out their door way (in a very unnatural way, if it were to make that tight of a turn it would have a nice bruise from a door handle) and went down the hall. i was laying down so i do not know if it ran or glided but how smoothly it went, it had to have glided. it was very very fast. well at 2:18 ish i am not exactly the most with it in the mental capacity department so my natural instinct was "LET SOMEONE ELSE DEAL WITH IT!" so i shot up and ran to their room and woke up my mom and yelled "AHH SOMETHING WENT DOWN THE HALL! AHHHHHH" maybe a bit longer of an ahhhhh. but she got up after looking at me like i was a bit insane and why am i up at 2:20 and turned on all the lights and saw nothing. she told me just to go back to bed. and i started thinking im insane and ive really lost it this time.
the next morning i woke up and honestly tried to play it off a little at first. like i thought "if i dont bring up me going insane, she wont bring it up". well she did ahah. it was probably for the best though. she started asking questions about what i saw and brought up what she saw a few months ago. with out her saying what she saw, i described the figure as short, black, hooded, skinny, you could tell it was a human but could not see definition. she told me that i probably saw what is known as a shadow figure. when i realized i wasn't totally insane and whacked, i thought it was pretty cool.

but that was not the end of my shadow figure experiences;
about 3 weeks ago i was taking a shower when getting ready for school and walked out of the bathroom (the bathroom that is my parents bedroom where i originally saw the one figure come out of) i was checking my face to see how bad my acne is. i turned to walk out of the room and there was this HUGE GINORMOUS GIANT of a man (well i imagine a man due to how broad his shoulders were) looking at me. As soon as i was about to panic that im in a room and really only have shoes as a weapon and i just got out of the shower, it glided off into the hall. This happened in about 3 seconds, i do not really remember if i saw a face. i think i did but i think i may be picturing seeing a face since i associate human figures with faces. but it was the same sort of shadow like black figure as the thing that ran out of their room a few months before. i figured maybe it could be my dad but i quickly bolted out of the room and he was sitting in the living room and no way he could be where he was if it was him and he isnt about 7 foot tall. i had no time to really think about it since i did have to get ready for class soon.
i personally do not feel "scared" to see them after i realize it is them, but before i realize it (especially the night one) it does freak me out a bit. i know they can not hurt you, but both times i did not realize at first if it was a real human which if it would have been that could have been bad.
ohh and sorry for bumping such an old thread! ahh i hope you guys don't mind! but i figured since its a paranormal forum and well there was a thread about my only sightings, i should just post there.
