That scene with the black "ghost" is so fucking CORNY. Author, be more creative than that ...

no literally i laughed so hard when i read it, it's such a typical way of trying to make us feel bad for him

I'm pretty sure it was sleep paralysis

Its not a black ghost its something akin to sleep paralysis haven't you noticed his hand twitching, he was trying to move but couldn't, i actually found it terrifying because its the worst fear you'll ever feel if you get sleep paralysis
