Written Confession: Child Spies Creepy Christmas Visitor Through the Keyhole

The following written confession was shared via Reddit by sociopath001:

So this happened to me when I was around 10 years old. This little story haunts me to this day and I can still see it all happening in my head. First I have to clear things up, in my country we celebrate Christmas on the 24. In the evening and get there our presents. This happened on the same day in the Morning.

We live in a small house, it's not old or anything, my parents actually build it back in 1998. It's a two story house and that Christmas we had the tree in the upper room, my brohters room, this year. My father locked the room for obvious reasons, so no one could come in the room before Christmas eve, no one but my parents.

That morning I was so exited for the presents, so I woke up early and the room was obviously still locked. Both my parents and my brother were asleep. I rushed over to wake them, but I didn't because I wanted to check if there are any presents under the tree already. To be clear I saw them both still asleep this morning. Instead I sneaked back to the room where the Christmas tree was and looked through the keyhole.

I expected to see a lot of presents lying under the tree, but instead I saw a big shadow, like something big was lying infront of the tree. I stared at it for a little while, when it suddenly begins to move, it was definitely not human. It looked like it jumped in the room and even got on the ceiling. You can actually see the tree, the window and a little bit of the room. Then I saw it jump out of my vision, still in the room. A few seconds later I saw a eye starring back at me through the keyhole. I was scared and jumped back, but didn't look again. My parents didn't believe me when I told them what happened. I still don't know what it could be and I think I never will. I'm not sure about this part but I thought I saw some wood in an [s]quare shape around the eye. I don't remember any color of the eye itself, but that's more because I'm a little colorblind.

For reference the thing I saw looked like what the channel "ghost of carmel maine" captured. Nuke's top 5 should have a good clip of it.

(This was my first and last encounter with paranormal stuff)
