About 18 years ago, my (then) young children and I lived in a home in the middle of a city in NW Ohio. The home was built in 1887, but I know nothing of it's history other than the previous family who lived there was very religious.
One night I had fallen asleep on onw of the two couches in the living room. I started to wake up, and noticed a man lying on his back, hands clasped on this belly, laying on the other couch. At first I thought he was a family member, but there was nobody in the house except myself and the boys (ages 3,4,6 and 7). In the few seconds that I watched this man (I definately got the impression of a man), I also noticed that although the figure was human in body length and form...he had a snout like a dog or a wolf, instead of a nose. His eyes seemed a little off too, but I can't say what it was about them. Maybe it was his whole face that was wrong, but it is the nose that I remember most.
As I stared at the figure and tried to figure out what I was seeing, he suddenly sat straight up and looked at me, as though startled by the fact that I'd noticed him. I do not remember being afraid at all, and can not remember anything after he sat up and looked at me, other than he seemed as surprised by me, as I was by him.
I wrote this off as having been a dream, since I wasn't frightened and remembered nothing after the "confrontation" and I didn't talk about with anyone because it seemed to have been a dream.
Last year, my 22 year old son (who was 4 at the time), and I were talking randomly about the possibility of ghosts and such. He said he had seen something at that particular house. I asked him about it, and he said he was coming to my bedroom after waking up in the middle of the night (my bedroom was on the main floor, next to the living room, his was on the second floor). As he passed by the living room (same room as where I had had my experience), he saw someone sleeping of one of the couches. He didn't know what it was but said, "whatever it was it had a snout."
My jaw about hit the floor. After asking him more questions, I realized he has seen the same thing I had, but on a completely different night. He also said that as he turned to come into my bedroom, he also saw a "ghost" in the corner by my bedroom door, and an "angel" in the opposite corner. He never mentioned any of this to me until this past year. I don't know about the ghost and angel part, but I believe him about the man with the snout.
Anyone have ANY idea what this might have been? It's driving me to distraction now that I know my son also saw it.
Thank you in advance.
Pam
