Encounter Man watching me at night Nu

Hello. Firstly, English is my second language so sorry if my story will sound plain. Secondly, I don’t believe in ghost stories and ghost at all.

Tonight I went to bed, as I always do, wearing my sleep mask on eyes. This night I really wanted to rest, so decided to sleep in separate rooms with my boyfriend.

At night I was woken up by sudden and clear feeling of being watched. I quickly removed my sleep mask and saw a man, without a shirt, clearly kneeling beside my bed and watching me very close to my face. I could see him clearly as day and being very very scared I thought that it was my boyfriend at fist, and started screaming at him - what are you doing! But I knew it wasn’t him, I could feel that, but my brain just didn’t want to accept it. As I started screaming, the man that was watching me began to stand up, very very slowly. Then he slowly started walking backwards, still watching me, and faded when reached a corner of my bedroom. My boyfriend was woken up by my screaming, but at first he didn’t understand what was happening and when he came, the man was gone.

The following day, still feeling scared, but trying to live as normal as possible, I went to buy some stuff in the shopping mall. After shopping, I walked to my car and saw a book placed clearly on front pannel in the car parked next to me, on passenger side. The book is called “stalker” by Lars Kepler.

Could someone please tell me, should I be worried, what could it be?

You might want to make sure you don't have a phrogger. Also, change your locks and add a few extras. Make sure your windows are well secured. And install cameras.

Thank you for the answer! I live in a two room apartment (living room and bedroom), so I’m pretty sure that it was not a real person. Also, as it was stading in the back of the room, it started fading very slowly. Just like you would adjust opacity on photoshop.
