Scottish actor says goodbye to her partner and goes back to sleep. Minutes later, she sees someone standing over her bed — but none of it was real

Sleep is supposed to be a sanctuary, but not everyone gets that luxury. Scottish actor Erin Caldwell (@erincaldwellxox) recently opened up about how sleeping has become a “full-on rubbish” battlefield for her.

In a candid TikTok story time, Erin detailed a recent experience of trying to sleep after waking up once. As she drifted back to her dreams, she suddenly heard footsteps. Seconds later, she saw her bedroom door wide open and a shadowy figure standing over her bed. The worst part? It was her own brain playing the ultimate villain.
