A Monster In My Room? 

I am a 20 year old female living in Ontario, Canada

The incident that I'm going to relate took place 10 years ago but it has been bothering me ever since and when I found this site I decided to share my story and see if anyone has any opinions. Of course, as it was an entire decade ago, this is by no means an urgent request for information as the "monster" or whatever it was has not reappeared since

I suppose I'm just more curious than anything else and want to know if anyone else has seen anything similar

What I'm going to do is describe the room and what I saw and then explain why it couldn't have been a dream. I sleep in the same room as I did when I was 10 but the layout has since changed

When this story takes place my bed was in the corner of the room, so the headboard was against one wall and the right side was against the other

At the foot of my bed was an armoire which was not pushed against the wall because there was an electrical outlet behind it which my lamp plugged into

The armoire was maybe four or five inches away from the wall

The door to my room is in the corner farthest from the bed

Also, there is a street lamp right outside my window, so even at night my room is never very dark. When I was a kid I would never close my eyes while waiting to fall asleep
