Whatever you do, DO NOT buy one of those bedside sleep sound recorders. There's just too much iffy shit you hear on those, if you listen closely and you hear stuff you can't ever forget. I tried it once. The one I had would skip to the places where there was noise.
I heard my snore stop suddenly, like my breath stopped or a hand over my mouth silenced me, and then I hear a clear whisper "Don't wake up!"
I don't know if it was me talking or what, but I'd rather not know the noises in my room at night! Never again for me.
Uh oh, r/writingprompts is leaking! (Is what I'm telling myself)
This seems like it could be turned into a r/nosleep story
I could never use one of those unless it also had a camera with it. If shadowmen are going to mess with me in my sleep, they'll have to live with having their images captured on camera.
Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!
It might seem stupid but I didn't want any connection to it. I actually ended up burning it
Luckily you didn't wake up, that could've been very bad.
I need you to wake up now.
I feel like either this can't be real or you embellished how sure you are of what you heard. If this really happened, the only reasonable response would be to put a knife under your pillow, install a night-vision security camera, and then spend the next few nights pretending to sleep because there's no way you're getting any real sleep. You'd also involve other people if you knew anyone.
Burying your head in the sand and waiting for the guy living in your attic to kill you is definitely a BS response to what you described.
