Waking up to a flame at the foot of my sleeping bag while staying at a friend’s house. His house burnt down completely and his mom didn’t get out.

Awoke to the sound of my Sweet Sweet golden retriever barking furiously at the partially open bedroom door. Snarling, snapping and barking. I was soooo scared that someone was in the house. I got out of bed and turned on the light. He was barking at a plastic bag I’d hung on the doorknob. I guess he saw the silhouette in the dark or something. I checked the whole house and all was clear and normal. Scared me to death.

Behind my bedroom closet there’s a little door that goes into the attic. I forgot that I had left it open when I went to put an extra mirror in there.
So I walked by the closet to go to the restroom at night and some movement catches my eye. I back up and there’s a fucking person standing in my closet staring at me.

My gf and I were sleeping peacefully when her phone, out of the blue, started blasting a video of a man’s preaching. Kinda scary. She turned it off ASAP lol.

I was watching a movie on my smartphone, because i couldn’t sleep and then a spider landed on my face. I jumped out of my bed and turned the lights on. My heart was going crazy and i was paranoid the whole night.

My dog was going ballistic at our side door. I yelled for her to come to me, but she refused to leave it and kept barking, which was really unusual behavior for he. As I come down the steps I see a big ass dude standing on the otherwise of the door, fiddling with the knob and trying to get in. My heart stopped. I asked what he wanted, and he paused and looked at me surprised, as though he hadn’t realized I could see him (I wouldn’t have been able to if I hadn’t been on the steps). He said he was looking for somebody. I tried to sound hard and said I already called the cops. He called me a bitch and turned and ran off into the night.
What scared me the most was he knew I was awake, and he knew the dog was in there, and he still tried to come in. That only tells me he had a plan for dealing with us, or was crazy enough to not care.
Edit: I realize I forgot to include that my dog is big. She’s a 98 lb Black Lab and German Shepherd mix. This wasn’t a chihuahua he was ignoring.
