I’ll preface by saying that my wife is a scientist and staunch skeptic. She teaches biology, anatomy, and anthropology at UCSD and often works with real human remains in her teachings. She was lecturing on human development, and disassembled a child’s skull to show the plates and how they fuse, etc… however, she didn’t reassemble them before coming home.
Late that night, I don’t know - maybe 2:00am, I go to the bathroom, do my thing, and when I get back in bed she stirs and says something like, “wait, we’re you just in the bathroom?, and I’m like, “yeah, why?” confused. She shrugs it off, “I thought we were cuddling”.
The next day she explained that she felt me (not me) holding her from behind, but the more she thought about it, it was smaller, childlike. She ends up explaining it away as a dream and we just let it go.
A few nights later she goes to bed early leaving me in our living room. A few minutes later, I hear a scream and she runs downstairs looking truly terrified. She claims to have seen a shadowy figure next to the nightstand on my side of the bed. She described it as the size of the child and staticy, like when a TV doesn’t have signal. It looked like it was rummaging through my nightstand, and when she entered the room, it got spooked and quickly disappeared into our closet.
Once she was calm, she again tried to rationalize it. Oh it was the wind (no windows were open), or it was just a weird shadow from the lights coming on (in the shape of a child?). She maintains her skepticism, but does claim there was a lonely energy, again childlike, like a little kid searching for their mom.
The weirdest part of this is that the next class day she reassembled the skull and nothing happened again. What’re your thoughts? I’m pretty convinced but she continues to deny it and rationalize it away
