Father's Double in the Apartment at Night

The account

The third, fourth, fifth… etc. times I don't remember in chronological order, but if you dig up my social media messages, I think it could be established. I'll tell about the one when I was already 16.
I was often too lazy to make my bed in my room and I slept in the living room on the couch. Night, it was around one o'clock. (It wasn't dark, more like twilight, any object was distinguishable). I was lying there, scrolling VK, chatting with someone. Then my old man walks past, goes to the kitchen, turns on the light. And I wanted to ask him something, but didn't want to wake him. I wait for him to go back. The light goes off, I put down my phone, raise my head, and see him already stepping behind the doorway (I especially clearly remember the bare leg, which was the last thing to disappear from my view). Immediately in my head: "fuck, what now, go chase after him", I start to get up, and right then dad comes in from the kitchen. I stayed half-raised like that for a couple of minutes, with emptiness in my head.

Read the original (Russian)

Третий, четвертый, пятый… и т.д. разы в хронологии не помню, но если поднять мои переписки в соц. сетях, думаю можно установить. Расскажу о том, в котором мне уже 16 лет. Мне часто было лень расстилать кровать в своей комнате и я спал в зале на диване. Ночь, время было около часу. (Тьмы не было, скорее сумерки, любой предмет был различим). Лежал, залипал в ВК, общался с кем-то. Тут проходит папаня, идет на кухню, включает свет. А я хотел что-то у него спросить, но не стал будить. Жду пока он пойдет обратно. Выключается свет, откладываю телефон, поднимаю голову, и вижу как он уже заходит за дверной проем (особенно отчетливо запомнилась голая нога, которая последней скрылась из моего обзора). В голове сразу «блять, что теперь, идти его догонять», привстаю, и тут следом идет папа с кухни. Я как привстал, так и просидел пару минут, с пустотой в голове.

Possible ordinary explanations

Suggested by the editor, not the witness. Not a verdict.

  • The narrator may have dozed off briefly and dreamed the first pass, then woke to the real one.
  • The father may have gone to the kitchen twice, and the narrator lost track of the sequence.
  • Low light and a half-asleep state could have caused a misperception of movement and timing.

As a child, the narrator saw a huge white semi-transparent figure waving at him near an abandoned dairy in the village of Staro-Arzamatovo; years later a local confirmed that schoolchildren had also seen the entity.
