it came toward him down the hallway in a perfect straight line and when it turned into his bedroom it turned in a perfect corner way if that makes sense (what he saw was a black hooded figure, about a foot off the ground too)
I have seen a dark cloaked figure hovering/floating about half a foot, give or take, off of the floor. It crept up silently and how it caught my attention was something moving infront of the oven-clock in the unlit kitchen. it's up 4 steps and there is no door there and the couch where I was was only a few feet from the steps. We were very close and just kind of stared at eachother. Was in shock for a few minutes. Hadn't seen anything so clear and there before that, had only ever really heard things or saw something darting through quickly that wasn't fully opaque. This guy was. Filled the entire doorway almost except for it's sides to the door way which consisted of only a few inches and then the space between it's bottom and the floor.
Eventually it seemed right to speak to it since it looked like it was contemplating whether or not to come down the stairs towards me or not. It would kind of twitch/lean/star out forwards an inch or two and then settle back in place. So I spoke up and asked "Hey, what's up? What are you doing here?" and it backed up a few feet then was gone in a matter of a few seconds. This was such a long time ago. Been a few years, maybe 6years give or take a few months? The every second of the encounter has been burned into my memory. Haven't seen it since either. But have seen shadow figures and other, more human-like, beings pace through and venture through the kitchen from time to time. They always either look towards whoever is looking at them or they keep perfect eye contact the entire time they are up there. One looked so real I had grabbed a wooden stool seat/top and ran out after him. Didn't realize something about his look was wayyyyyyyyyy off until I'd stopped for a moment and could actually think about what had happened instead of "WHO IS IN MY HOUSE? OOOOH NO. Not going to happen, bro."
Others in my family, majorly (almost exclusively) the women as far as I know, have seen someone/thing walk through the kitchen before that wasn't there at all.
A lot of people seem to have encounters with shadow people in hats, cloaks, and/or straight up body figures all over the place. Maybe it was a manifestation of something within you or another family member at the time, maybe it was drawn towards it, or they just get around quite a bit and hop around house to house to see who notices them.
