For some time we did not have our own home, we rented a small two-room apartment. By that time, our son was already three years old, and we decided that it was time for him to learn how to fall asleep alone.
In the small room where his bed was, there was a small sofa left from the owners. I usually turned on the night light, sat on this sofa opposite the crib, told a story, and then left. At first everything went well, the son fell asleep quickly. But once…
I was washing the dishes in the kitchen when I heard a scream and cry from my son's room. I run in, I see a picture: the son is in the crib, his eyes are wide with horror, he points towards the sofa and repeats: "Let grandfather leave!"
What grandfather? The sofa is absolutely empty, I didn't even leave toys on it, I put them in the basket. I tried to calm my son down, but where there! He assured that a terrible white grandfather was sitting on the sofa and looking at him.
The son fell asleep only in the morning, he even had to be rocked in his arms. During the day, it seemed, he forgot about the night fears, but everything happened again. He again saw the terrible grandfather on the sofa. Here my husband could not stand it. I put the cot in a small room and decided to find out what's what.
What he saw does not fit into any framework. In the light of the night light on the sofa, the silhouette of an old man in a white shirt was clearly visible. His eerie gaze was directed directly at the crib …
All day we packed our things and tried not to enter this room. But you could hear that there seemed to be moving furniture, someone shuffling their feet.
