  Speaker 1: Wait till you hear what I saw in my bed
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: last night. So I sleep in a different room than
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: my wife because I sleepwalk. I have for a number
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of years. I most nights leap out of bed, thinking
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: somebody's trying to kill me, and I will bolt to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the door. As you can imagine, that's very disruptive for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: my poor wife. And so a few years ago, we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just started having me sleep in the guest room. And
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the way we've done it. So last
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: night was no different. Here's the room I'm sleeping in.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's the guest room. I sleep right here. There's a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: pillow that separates me and where my dog typically sleeps
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: right there. She just bolted out of the room, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: she normally sleeps on that blanket right there. And this
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is where I sleep. And so last night I go
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to bed at about nine thirty and I wake up
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at about yeah, ten, ten thirty somewhere in there. And normally, again,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: when I sleepwalk, it's like in the first hour after
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I fall asleep and I'm like out of bed running.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But I woke up at like ten ten thirty, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't do that. I just sort of suddenly woke up.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It's dark in my room. There's no noise machine on,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and I look over towards the bathroom, which is that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: room right there. It's hard to do it in the camera.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Right there, this is the bathroom. Okay. I look towards
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the bathroom. The door is open, and I see there
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is like a figure standing right there, like a person.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And I just told myself I must be sleepwalking. Now.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I don't hallucinate when I sleepwalk, but I have enough
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: sleep disturbances that I'm thinking, Okay, I gotta be sleepwalking.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's all this is. And I'm staring at this figure
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom and they're like right here, and they
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: appear to be staring at me or something. And I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: looking over at them, and they vanish behind the stoor
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and they just kind of disappear candidly. I wasn't overly frightened.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, you know, I'm accustomed to weird
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: stuff in my sleep. That's all. This was my mind's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: playing tricks on me. No big deal. So I don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: even get up to investigate. I just go back to sleep. However,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: by about eleven o'clock I wake up a second time. Historically,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I do not sleepwalk twice in a night. It is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: always one time, really pronounced. It usually in the first
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: hour after I fall asleep. I fell asleep, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: around nine thirty or so. Now it's eleven o'clock and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I'm waking up for a second time, so statistically it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not sleepwalking. I wake up. I'm right here on my back,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and my dog Maggie's right over there. She's asleep, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm laying there and I'm not jumping out of my
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bed running, I'm just laying there. The room is dark,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: there's no noise machine on. It's just like still, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I just have this weird feeling that I don't know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: something just feels weird. And I look over at the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: bathroom again there it is, and no one's there, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, what's going on? What's happening? And I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: start to feel something rubbing against the side of my
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: left thigh. I'm on my back right here, right and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, is that Maggie, my dog, you know?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I look and Maggie's right next to me, so
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that would be the side she'd be on. But Maggie's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not moving, she's dead asleep, and I'm thinking maybe it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like the pillow next to me, maybe she's pushing against
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the pillow that's such in my leg, but no, she's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: completely still. There's nothing moving. And as I'm looking at Maggie,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling this thing kind of almost almost moving down
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: my leg. I'm feeling something distinctly against my leg, sort
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of moving down, and I'm like, what is that? And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I kind of I'm thinking about the figure I saw
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom a little while ago. I'm starting to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: getting scared, so I jump out of bed. I flip
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the light on. My covers are kind of flipped like that,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm standing right here and I'm sort of surveying
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the room and looking at my bed like am I sleepwalking?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Like what's happening here? Maggie's still totally asleep. And I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: noticed there's this lump under my covers right about here,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and it's not moving. It's just a lump right here,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm staring at it because it's about in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: same place where whatever it was was touching my leg,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and it sort of moves a little bit, and I'm thinking, oh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it's got to be a cat. A cat got in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: my room. I have four other cats, you know, it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: totally possible one of them got in here, and I'm like, oh,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a pew, And so I reached down and I begin
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to lift the blankets up to see which cat it is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And when I do this lump, it quickly like kind
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of bolts to the other side of the bed, still
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: under the covers, and now it's like right over at
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that far corner there, and it moved. It moves so
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: quickly that I have sort of geriatric cats. I have
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: one kitten, but it wouldn't have been her. I'm thinking
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it must be the other three cats that are older
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that would make that big of a lump, you know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The kitten's too small, and I'm thinking, like, they can't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: move like that. I've never seen my cats move like that,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and so I'm now hesitating, but I'm like, I gotta
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I gotta see what's under here. And so I grabbed
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the cover again, and I'm pretty scared, honestly, at this point,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this thing is. I'm thinking, like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: did a raccoon get in here? And all at once,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I flip the covers up and I look into the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: corner of the bed and in that corner looking at
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: me is a pair of eyes looking right at me,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and then they just sort of disappear on the back
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: side of the bed, and I'm like, was that a cat?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: What was that? And I run over here.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing, Like, there's nothing here. I look under
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the bed, there's nothing down there. There's nothing. There's no
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: explanation for it. I gotta be honest, I'm still sort
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of freaked out by it. I'm convincing myself that I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: must have been sleepwalking and hallucinating, because I do have
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the crazy stuff that's happened in my sleep.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: This felt real, so aliens
