A Strange Memory

by No Name
(United States)

Okay this happened to me a long time ago. I think I was in junior high but that's not important. I remember I was in the process of moving and most of my families stuff was packed and that night I went to sleep then for some reason I woke up in the middle of the night.

As I slowly opened my eyes I began to see some bluish figure standing in my doorway (my eyesight was kind of blurry because I was just waking up).
I was shocked that something was there but as my vision got clearer I began to make out what it was. It looked like some man wearing the kind of clothes you would see people wearing from the American Revolution era (sorry I can't describe what I saw better). I only say this because I recognize the hat and the coat.

He was looking down the hallway from my room's doorway, but then he turned his head towards me. I just remember being terrified and I tried my best to move, but it was like I was paralyzed because as soon as I saw this thing I gasped and could not even shut my mouth. But as soon as he turned his and looked at me he started to fade away and I could move again...

Well, that is just one of my stories of weird things like this that has happened to me. Any ideas what the heck that was? I however kept telling myself that I was just seeing and it was my imagination but for some reason out of all the weird stuff that has happened to me I always remember that. Also this was in an old apartment if that matters.
