My husband was on night shift many, many moons ago when the kids were little, I had my two youngest each side of me in bed and the bedside lamp on. I opened my eyes and saw a shadow on the wall, that looked like a crone or witch, the light couldn't have made that shadow. A couple of seconds later my daughter woke up beside me and said mum, what is that on the wall, I told her, nothing sweetheart, it's alright, she closed her eyes and dozed off again, and a couple of minutes later I looked again and it was gone.
