This happened to me about a month or so ago, and I have posted it in a couple of places; one place for entertainment of others, and one place to try to find some answers to this encounter.
I have been having ghost experiences since I was very young; I am now 39 and quite seasoned at ghostly contact. I have seen and heard them, and also felt them touch me. I have had one encounter with an animal ghost, and a couple of encounters with shadow ghosts. This last experience, though, seems to have combined the two, and has left me a bit frightened.
I had JUST laid down in bed, and was facing my bedroom windows; lying on my right side. I am in the third town home from the corner; there is a streetlight on the corner, which affords a bit of light into the bedroom. I also have a 2-ft black light in the bedroom, which burns constantly. I was lying there, and noticed what I thought was my Papillon, with this forepaws up on the mattress, appearing to look at me intently. I stared at "him" for awhile, and I noticed that his figure wasn't moving... This is uncharacteristic of a 2-year old Pap, so I began examining the shadow a bit more in depth. I noted that the shadow was really, really dark... Darker than a normal shadow of an animal should have been. The "thing" also did not have my boy's butterfly ears; it appeared to be more the size and shape of a large house cat. I wanted to reach out to touch it, to see if it was real, but something told me I dare not do that.
I suddenly became very afraid (this thing was about 6 inches from my face, since I tend to sleep toward the very edge of the mattress) I squeezed my eyes shut for about a minute, and then reopened them to see the thing still there. I kept staring at it, angry and scared, and it began doing this weird motion with its head. Picture a cat moving its head in an "infinity" symbol shape; like a sideways '8'. I became VERY scared at this point, it was almost as if it wanted to hypnotize me. I closed my eyes again for a minute, and when I looked again the thing was gone.
Whatever this was, I feel it was very ancient, but lower-level, spiritually. As strange as this is going to sound, I feel that it was trying to get me out of my physical body to go on a journey that I did NOT want to take. I don't know if this was a shadow ghost (I usually see them as very dark, fast-moving shadows on the floor around my feet) or if this was some kind of psychic attack. I do know that this thing felt very malevolent and sinister... I did not like the way its essence or energy felt to me.
This has disturbed me since it happened. I was only able to bring myself to write about it a few nights ago! I came here searching for answers, perhaps someone knows what this could have been?
This has bothered me more than any old human spirit ever could... This thing was NOT HUMAN, and never was.
Ideas, comments, suggestions? Thanks in advance for reading this!

I have always had experiences like this since I was younger. Unfortunatley I often experience encounters with animal ghosts. It happened not long ago when I was home alone, it must have been about 10:30pm. I have a small border terrier and she usually sleeps in my room, on my way upstairs I got chills and became fixed on what I thought was my dog, Just like your encounter whatever it was, was sitting still not moving, staring at me with huge black eyes, if I were to describe how it looked I would say almost alien like. About 5 minutes after it started to move its tail in circular motions, I became angry and scared and told it to go away making noise trying to scare it off but its facial expression changed and my anger turned to pure fear, I slowly backed off walking slowly downstairs not turning my back on it once and waited for my parents to come home. Later on that night I went to bed when my parents did I left all the lights on in my room but I think my mum must have turned them off part way through the night. Round about 4am I woke up and could feel pressure on my calfs, I looked down towards the bottom of my bed and all I could see was a dark mass, I couldn't move at all I waited with my eyes tightly closed until I felt the pressure lighten on my legs. I have not had any more encounters like that but I often see and hear things.
