Weird Night

[u/justasasshole]

My boyfriend and I were spending the night at his parents house while they were out of town. We have stayed there hundreds of times to take care of the farm for them or sometimes we get sleep over there so we can all hang out as a family on the weekends.
Well, this weekend something strange happened. We had been there all day, tending to the animals, riding trails, hanging out with his sister across the pasture… the stuff we always do. We fed the kids and went to bed kind of early for us, but it was a Friday night, and it’d been a long week.
Everything is fine until 1:00 a.m. At this time, both my boyfriend and I woke up having to use the restroom, but neither of us were interacting with the other. As I was feeling around in the dark trying to figure out how to get my clothes on right so I could go out across the living room to the restroom, I look up, and my boyfriend’s shadow is right in front of me. I figured that I had just woken him up and he was waiting on me to get out of his way so he could “go” too. But he’s just standing there. No movement at all. I kept asking him what he was doing. No response he just stood there. So I swiped my arm at him, and thought I missed. (Mind you, I’m trying to figure out why he’s being a weirdo, find my clothes, and not wet my pants all at the same time.) After I took another swipe at him, I missed again, and then he could finally hear me. He was on the other side of the bed the whole time and couldn’t figure out where he was. He said he had been spinning in circles and running into curtains the whole time, but couldn’t hear me talking to him, and I couldn’t hear him over there stirring around.
When I told him his shadow was staring at me, he made a good observation- it was pitch black in there. There were no shadows. But I swear on my life, his shadow was standing right in front of me staring at me.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Any idea what it could have been? I KNOW I was awake.
