i was walking home from my friend 's house , and it was pretty late . really dark . i manage to walk all the way to the front of my apartment , but then i see a figure in my peripheral vision , behind me . oh my goodness ! what did you do ? i bet your heart was racing ! i was terrified , and i let out a noise that i 'm not really proud of , ha . anyways i turn around and it was just my shadow from the light of my apartment lamp . i felt preeetty dumb . hahaha that sounds about how i would have reacted ! i once saw my shadow on the blinds in my living room . i sat there frozen thinking someone was outside . then , i moved and the shadow did too !
A shadowy figure seen in the peripheral vision at night triggered the feeling of fear.
