I have actually seen a being of some kind in a friend's home when I was about ten years old.
The first encounter was during the afternoon. I went into the house to get something from the kitchen. I took a few steps into the house, and something spoke to me. It was a man's voice, and all he did was get my attention. He said, "Hey!" in a startled tone. I couldn't see him though; I didn't know where he was. I stopped, looked around for a few seconds, then turned around and walked out. I sensed he didn't want me in there.
The second encounter happened during the late night around about 10 pm. I was standing at the bottom of the staircase watching everyone, and I heard him behind me on the stairs. I turned around and looked, and saw a dark figure in the shape of a man standing on the stairs. When I saw him, he turned around and began walking up the stairs. It scared me, so I got away from the staircase, and that was the last time I saw or heard him.
