Hey there Jenn9,im also South African.Interesting experience-though for a kiddy,terrifying for sure..When i was 16,i had an experience with a black shadow-person.I woke up from sleep and sat straight up in bed,thinking "What woke me up?!" -a very instant awakening,you know..
I had a very similar experience to what you've just described in that I was once woken up in that same fashion. My bed (in my old house) used to be right against a window. I don't know what I was thinking but when I woke up with a start, my first instinct was to look outside the window. It was quite early morning but light enough to see across the road. Across the road was a tall shadow and even though it had no face or eyes that I could see, I could feel that it sensed me and was watching me. It freaked me out and two seconds later it was gone.
Some bizarre stuff going on that's for sure....
It seems the common thread is that we see these "things" when perhaps they don't expect us to see them. I woke up with a start - was it because this thing had just done something to me or was in my room and then escaped across the road instantly?? Who knows.
I can't remember for sure, but I think there's a Carlos Castaneda book that talks about them too.
