I was on holiday in India about 3 years ago with both of my parents, my boyfriend and my step brother from my dads' side. It was about a week into our 2 week stay when something happened in our hotel room.
The room me and my boyfriend shared was not huge, it was on the ground floor with a door next to my side of the bed leading outside onto a lawn where you could see all the other blocks of hotel rooms, and on my boyfriends side was the door that leads to the stairs to the other rooms in our block. Opposite the bed (about 5ft away) was a small wardrobe and a tiny fridge, not a lot was in the room really as we were not in there a lot.
I always usually sleep all through the night without waking but one night I opened my eyes to realise I was sat upright in bed looking at two dark figures at the bottom of the bed! One was crouching, and one was standing upright, just staring at me! No face, or features, just a dark shape of these two 'men'. I asked my boyfriend (who had woken due to me sitting up) "who are those men?" he looked at them and told me he didn't know so I kind of said "oh okay" and went back to sleep. He stayed awake for a while absolutely petrified under the covers and then fell asleep.
The next morning we had both totally forgot about what we had seen so went down to meet my brother Matt and my parents for breakfast. We sat down and were eating and talking until Matt said "Woahh I don't know what I've eaten or drank here but I swear I saw two men in my room last night! One of them was crouching and one was standing by my bed! I s**t myself and hid under the covers!" My heart sank! Me and my boyfriend looked at each other in shock as we remembered we seen them too! The scary part... Was he was on the very top floor and we were on the bottom!
I know when you hear stories like this you think "Yeahh but it could have been a shadow, or your eyes playing tricks on you" but I know what we saw was real... I could clearly see the outline of the crouching ones knees and legs as he sat there. They were as clear as day in a solid black shadowy kind of way, staring at me in the dark. I can't explain how weird it was! We checked the room to see if it could have been a shadow but it could not have been, and we never saw them again. Part of me thinks it could have been hotel staff... But why would they do that? Nothing had been stolen at all and when I looked at them they never flinched or tried to hide at all. I don't know how they could of got in either! One of us would have heard them as both doors were right next to us.
That was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me and I WISH I had gotten up to turn the light on! Who knows what I would have seen! Maybe it was best not to!

RTL89 I can fully understand what you mean. At the same time I must remember that we never know how we may react until we are put in that position as even you have said. I would have sworn that I would cringe in fear if a gun were ever pulled on me until it happened and instead I became aggressive. Or that I would scream like a schoolgirl (no offense to any schoolgirls former or present) if a glass were thrown by an invisible force, until it happened.
