I actually stayed the night at a friend of mines. He complains about feeling he's being watched at night. It doesn't seem to bother him too much other than he has trouble falling asleep.
Anyway when i stayed over just as i was beginning to fall asleep in that state where you are conscious yet your body is asleep, i heard a very real growl in my face. It was an unnerving experience to say the least. I've never had any clairaudient or clairvoyant experiences, or any psychic experience what so ever. I'm not sure whether to deny this experience and say it was just a dream, but i did wake up immediately when i heard it so it wasn't imagined.
(we also watched Paranormal Activity earlier lol could have played a part, but i knew of his complaints before that)
Not to take away from the original poster, i especially envy your smelling bacon

but i was curious on your opinions.
