Encounter with a shadow figure and glowing eyes

[Kardiaa]

I was 16 when I had an experience that has stayed with me to this day. It was late at night, and I was lying in bed when I saw something that I still can’t explain. It was a solid black shadow of a man, standing in my room. What made it so unsettling were its eyes—bright, glowing white, like nothing I’d ever seen before. I was paralyzed with fear, unable to move or speak. But then, something strange happened. After a few moments, I felt a strange calm wash over me, as if the figure was trying to reassure me. It didn’t feel malevolent, despite how terrifying it looked.

What’s even weirder is that my partner, who was awake at the time, saw it too. They corroborated every detail, which made it all the more real. Since then, I’ve been searching online for similar descriptions, but I haven’t found anything that matches what we saw. It’s as if this experience is unique to us. I’m still trying to make sense of it, wondering if it was something supernatural or just a trick of the mind. Either way, it’s a memory that’s hard to shake.

One early morning, my son had an unusual experience. He got up to use the bathroom and later told me that while he was in there, he felt a presence behind him. When he turned around, he saw a shadowy, man-like figure standing very close—so close it felt almost impossible in such a small space. To my surprise, he wasn’t scared at all. Instead, he said he felt oddly comforted. He described the figure as having a shadowy form, but what stood out were its eyes—they glowed with a faint blue-white light. My family has always believed that spirits, perhaps distant relatives, sometimes visit us. This encounter left us all with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Were the eyes similar to human eyes in their appearance, or did they seem more like spherical orbs positioned where eyes should naturally be? Could you perhaps describe the texture and color as well? Understanding these details would really help create a vivid image of what you're trying to explain.

I've always been drawn to stories about white glowing eyes, and I have to say, my own experiences with spirits have been pretty intriguing. My son and I aren't afraid of them; we're just curious. I can't tell if they're good or bad—I just share what happens. My son seems more in tune with them, seeing things I don't. I communicate with them telepathically, and I've only seen a full-body spirit once. My son, though, has more frequent encounters, especially past midnight when I'm already asleep. It's fascinating how he picks up on so much more than I do.

My son once described something really unique about a pair of eyes he saw. He said the sockets were normal, but instead of eyeballs, there was just bright light. It wasn’t glowing outward, roundish, or floating—it was just there. I’ve never experienced anything like that myself, but his description has always stuck with me.
