- [Cat Voiceover] That's dumb.
Don't ignore the shadows
that lurk in the corner of your eye.
They're watching you.
The ancient Greeks called them Shades.
In Korea, the phenomenon is called "gawi nulim"
which means to be pressed down by a ghost.
Some believe these shadowy creatures
are inter-dimensional beings who are studying us
for reasons unknown.
I didn't believe in any of these myths,
but the fact that others had experienced what I had
made it more real to--
(door opens)
- Geez-o-pete, Cat, it's one in the morning!
What are you doing up?
- Reading.
What are you doing up?
- Don't get smart with me, missy.
10 more minutes.
- Fine.
(yawns)
- [Cat Voiceover] I was 15 when I started seeing shadows
in my peripheral vision.
My parents got divorced and my mom and I moved
from DC to Roanoke, Virginia.
I had a hard time sleeping in the new place.
I was afraid of how quiet it was.
I was afraid of the seemingly endless woods
that surrounded my house.
But, mainly, I was afraid
that when I laid in bed at night I wasn't alone.
I couldn't see it at first,
but I could feel its presence.
Like a low frequency hum vibrating just under my skin.
And then one night I saw it,
A dark void in the shape of a human.
I tried to get up, but I couldn't move.
I tried to scream, but nothing came out.
It crawled over me, brought its face to mine
and then--
(door opens)
(screams)
- Serves you right.
Go to bed or I'm taking the computer.
- Don't you ever knock?
- Come on, sweetie, go to bed.
It's late.
Okay, goodnight.
- Goodnight, jeez.

- [Woman] Did you leave this on all night?
I'm not made of money, you know?
If you're not up in 30 minutes I'm dragging you out of bed.
