Sleepwalking Shenanigans
Married life can be full of surprises, but some of the strangest moments come when one partner is asleep. Here are a few eerie tales from spouses who have experienced some downright creepy behavior from their partners in the middle of the night.
The Midnight Gaze
“One night, I woke up to find my husband standing at the foot of our bed, just staring at me. His eyes were wide open, but he wasn’t responding to anything I said. After a few minutes, he quietly got back into bed and went back to sleep. He didn’t remember a thing the next morning.”
Phantom Conversations
“My wife has full-on conversations in her sleep. Sometimes, she’ll sit up and start talking to someone who isn’t there. The worst part is when she laughs at something ‘they’ said. It’s like she’s hosting a ghostly tea party.”
The Wandering Sleeper
“My husband sleepwalks occasionally, but one night he left the house entirely. I found him trying to open the car door in nothing but his pajamas. When I asked him what he was doing, he mumbled something about needing to ‘get to the meeting.’ I had to guide him back inside and lock the doors.”
A Sudden Scream
“Out of nowhere, my wife let out a blood-curdling scream while she was still asleep. I jumped out of bed, heart racing, thinking something terrible had happened. She just rolled over and continued sleeping as if nothing had occurred. It took me a while to calm down.”
The Sleepy Chef
“One night, I came downstairs to find my husband standing in the kitchen, making a sandwich. He was sound asleep the whole time. When I asked him about it the next day, he had no memory of his midnight snack-making session.”
Mystery Movements
“Sometimes, my wife will start moving her hands around like she’s trying to catch something. Once, she even tried to swat at me, mumbling about ‘getting rid of the bugs.’ She had no recollection of it later.”
The Silent Watcher
“I woke up to find my husband sitting up in bed, just staring at the wall. He didn’t respond when I called his name. After a few minutes, he laid back down and went back to sleep. It was incredibly unsettling.”
