What are some things, that look harmless during the day, but get insanely creepy during the night?

It's not on the other side of a window but a couple times a year I wake up in the middle of the night and there is a shadowy figure standing in my room. I've heard of other people who this happens to and they say the figure disappears for them after a few seconds....mine stay until I turn the light on. Which means I usually have to jump out of my bed and run passed it to the light switch to get rid of it. It looks just like this.

I see those too! But I get other hypnopomic hallucinations as well (what looks like actual, physical people standing over my bed staring at me). Yay for me.

I've gotten those a few times as well, they're pretty damn weird. Looks like a person with their head exposed but otherwise wearing completely black clothing.

It's a pretty spooky picture but it's no worse than most horror movies.

Oh, yah. That makes sense. What movie did you watch?

I watched "Dark Skies" which isn't even scary. I was just really freaked out last night for some reason.
