WHO WAS THE STRANGE, 3-FOOT-TALL MAN STANDING IN THE DOORWAY?

"Standing in the doorway was a strange little man. He was shorter than the doorknob, about three feet tall. He was oddly proportioned with a large head and nose, and messy hair and he had a bulgy appearance overall."

The following account was forwarded to me by my friends & colleagues Kyle & Cam at Expanded Perspectives:

"I was a teenager. I woke up in the middle of the night and the door to my bedroom was open although I never went to bed without closing and locking it. The light in the hall was on which was also unusual. Standing in the doorway was a strange little man. He was shorter than the doorknob, about three feet tall. He was oddly proportioned with a large head and nose, and messy hair and he had a bulgy appearance overall. He did not resemble a person with dwarfism, his features were too exaggerated to be human and I never once thought of him as being so.

My room being dark and the light in the hall being on he was entirely backlit and appeared as a silhouette. He would move from time to time, he would shift his position or scratch himself. I stared at him for several minutes, rubbing my eyes and pinching myself, thinking I may be having a vivid dream, but my impression was that I was quite awake. I was aware in the moment that this could have, perhaps even should have been frightening but I had no fear of him whatsoever.

I was then and am still extremely curious about him. My impression was that he was simply watching me watching him. He seemed aware that I could see him but neither of us said anything or attempted to interact with the other. It was like seeing a wild animal up close, I didn’t want to do anything to frighten him away. I had a good long look and then decided the only thing to do was to go back to sleep. I closed my eyes and fell asleep knowing he was still there watching me but again, I felt no fear or discomfort.

I admit this could have been an unusually vivid dream, but I do not believe it was, my recollection is of being wide awake. I have thought of him since and am still very curious about him, particularly as the region I grew up in does not have a strong tradition of fairy sightings (at least as far as I am aware.)’ ‘A lumpish little man about three feet tall, large head and nose, potbelly. Strangely proportioned, may have been wearing large, cuffed boots.’ ‘I have had several strange experiences; all were unique and rather hard for me to classify. I heard about this survey and this experience immediately came to mind. Both during the encounter and now I thought of him as being a funny little man like a dwarf, but different from any I have read about in fiction.’ ‘Sometimes very strange things happen." R
