Several years ago, I was visiting a friend who lived in another state. I got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I was washing my hands. In the mirror I saw a large shapeless shadow move across the wall behind me. It had sharp, distinct edges; and I could see the wallpaper pattern through it.

I was fully awake (I hadn’t been sleeping well). It wasn’t a waking dream. The bathroom was an interior room – no windows – and the door was closed. The room was very bright; the whole ceiling in the sink area was illuminated by florescent tubes behind frosted plastic panels, so it couldn’t have been my shadow.

The next morning, I told my hosts what I’d seen. They admitted that the house was haunted, and that they had seen the same apparition in other rooms.
