I saw an alien in my living room when I was five.

So, I saw the other guy's post about the grey near his dresser and it prompted me to tell this story.

I did not see a grey. I saw a black. Yeah a black. I've told this story many, many times to family and friends and they tell me it's the most ridiculous thing they've ever heard. I don't know if it's appropriate for the Aliens and UFO's board, but I don't see it fitting anywhere else.

When I was five, I was sitting on the couch one morning, as I always did, watching cartoons. It must have been a Saturday. My mother was always in the backyard right outside the door watering the lawn. I must have seen her walk in and go through the hallway a million times at this point, but on this particular morning I saw her walk in and right behind her was a huge man. I mean huge. He practically reached the ceiling. As I recall he had a strange gait, like an early hominid and he turned around in the most spine tingling way. He used his entire body to turn and look at me as he continued on behind my mother and down the hallway, into the kitchen. His skin was black, like a crayon and seemed to be matte. Completely without shine or any visible texture. His body and head were entirely hairless and he had the most menacing look in his face. He wasn't wearing anything, as I remember him being entirely black. I'm guessing he was naked, though I don't remember seeing genitals. I remember that I was so paralyzed with fear, that tears rolled down my face and I didn't move or make a sound. I just watched him disappear down the hall. I sat there dumbfounded and afraid. When my mother came back in from the hall, I bursted out crying hysterically, asking her where he went, and she told me that she had no idea what I was talking about. I've asked her about it a few times since then, and she still swears that was the strangest thing I ever did as a child. Never again and never before had I done anything so inexplicable. Some people have suggested that he was a shadow person, but I'm telling you this person was there in three dimensional space. It was as if a tall naked bald man had taken a dip in a vat of charcoal and followed my mother down the hall. I've never forgotten him, or the look on his face. He looked at me like he meant to tell me something disturbing. Still gives me goosebumps.

proberly a ghost? that would be a start, aliens im not sure but if its true u must be scared, if u see it again have a camera ready and if it tries to attack u well have a nice big weapon ready

IMO these things happen to people deliberately to let them know that what we see and hear about is not the entirety of creation. So that you won't go through your life blindly following whatever some other human tells you is the truth.

This charcoal-like man you saw was probably performing this job/duty and you were the intended target. Whether you appreciated or were fearful of his appearance wasn't the intention of the visit, IMO. It was just to get you to think a little differently about life.

I saw an alien in my backyard mowing the lawn

Shadow people can look 3 dimensional-They can take full form. You never saw anything like this again?

have you ever considered hypnosis? going back to that specific day might be possible. maybe there is a "logical" explanation that wouldnt imply Aliens in your living room.
