You never hold a poop. Get that **** out of there.

I was in seventh or eighth grade. I had a bad habit of staying up late to watch the Tonight Show and falling asleep in the living room, usually on the floor, and then either getting up in the night to go to my room or just sleeping all night in the living room.
One night, asleep on the floor in the living room, I had a nightmare. The nightmare was that me and my friends were at the bus stop near my house (we rode the school bus) and while we were waiting for the bus to pick us up, we heard the train blowing its horn as it approached the crossing at 2004 and Old Angleton Road (right by the second ever Buc-ee's location, btw). It was about a mile and a half from my house.
The train blew the horn and then we heard a screech of tires and a sound of metal meeting metal as a car was smashed by the train. We all looked at each other in horror. Then I woke up.
That nightmare woke me up pretty suddenly. I sat up on the floor in the living room, I was breathing heavy, and I realized I had been dreaming, so I layed down again and went back to sleep.
I had the exact same nightmare two more times. At this point, I decided to go to my room, hoping a change in venue would help me sleep. As I walked past my big brother's room, I heard his stereo. He always slept with the radio on (either 97 Rock or 101 KLOL) and he kept it real faint so it wasn't a bother in other rooms. The song on the radio was "Learn How To Live" by Billy Squire. It was the opening few measures with the horns/woodwinds. My brother's bed was by the door, and his head was at the end by the door. He was sound asleep.
It was odd that he was asleep, because I could hear whistling, very soft whistling that I could make out over the music. It was a slow melody of some sort.
After pausing at my brother's room, I continued down the hall to my room. The whistling got louder. And I could see moonlight coming in and shining from the window and into the hall. My shade was up. But of course it would be since I had gone to sleep in the living room. Lowering my shade was always the last thing I did before I went to bed.
When I looked into my room, I saw the sillouhette of a man sitting up in my window, butt partially in the window sill and legs stretched down so his feet were on my bed, and he was looking out the window and whistling softly. He looked like a shadow.
I froze. It wasn't my dad. My dad snores like crazy and I could hear him snoring in my parents' room. It was scary. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to breathe or move at all because I didn't want him to see me.
After several seconds (felt like minutes), the shadow man stopped whistling and turned his head to the left quickly and was gazing directly at me. I more or less did a standing broad jump and landed in my parents' doorway and hid in their room. I could hardly move. And neither my mom nor my dad even flinched. I laid there as still as possible for as long as I could and eventually must have fallen asleep. When my dad's alarm went off in the morning, I crawled out of the room so he and my mom wouldn't see me so I wouldn't have to tell them what I saw. The shadow person was gone.
I haven't told my parents that story. I shared it with a former boss when a co-worker was searching online about shadow people one time in about 1998. This co-worker had a sister who was experiencing strange things at her house. There were lots of drawings and sketches of shadow people, and my boss at the time seemed to know what they were.
It freaked me out. And I don't sleepwalk.
