My daughter used to sleepwalk, and it was incredibly creepy. I’d wake up in the middle of the night to find her just standing in the doorway, completely silent. I’d ask, “You okay, sweetie?” but she wouldn’t respond—just stared at me. One night, my wife and I heard her little footsteps—tip-tap, tip-tap—as she went into the bathroom and closed the door. We waited… and waited… but there was only silence. My wife whispered, “Is she asleep on the toilet or what?” I went to check, but the bathroom was empty. When I looked in her room, she was fast asleep in her bed.
Another night, I heard her talking, though I couldn’t understand what she was saying. She was walking like someone was leading her. She passed by our room, still whispering. I jumped up to catch her, but I was too late. Suddenly, she screamed, “Daddy! Daddy!” She was standing at the end of the hall, wide awake. It was pitch black, and when I tried to run to her, I swear my legs wouldn’t move, like I was glued to the floor. We ended up bringing her into our bed until morning. Even now, it still gives me chills thinking about it.

My friend once called me at 2 AM, completely panicked. She lives alone with her baby girl—no boyfriend, no men around. Out of nowhere, she found a random man’s sock in her washing machine. She completely melted down, thinking she was losing her mind, and even started googling psychiatrists. Turns out, it was her neighbor, Brian. She had never locked her balcony—who would on the 7th floor? Apparently, Brian was too shy to ask for help since he has a stutter, but he overheard her saying she’d be out for a bit. His washer had broken, so he climbed over to use hers. My friend was so shocked when she found out that she literally started stuttering too. Now, the wildest part? They’re getting married next week.
