Hello. First time poster, long time lurker.

My four year old daughter came into my room in the middle of the night absolutely frantic (heavy breathing, terrified, shaky voice) saying that she saw something and asked whether it was gone from her room.

After asking a bit, she described it as a “jumping thing that looked like you” (me, mom) but she clarified that she knew it was not me. “It looked like you but it wasn’t you and it was holding clothes.” She reiterated the entire story next morning, unprompted.

She has had shadow experiences in past that have freaked her out. I usually try to reassure her that she’s safe and that there is nothing actually there. Personally, I’d like to chalk it up to childhood imagination but something feels off.

Question: Has anyone else or their children report to have experienced this?
