Rat Nap

I felt the cute furry rat bump into my leg and go up it a little, then back off into the bed.
I moved my hand to go stroke her, thinking she had got out and climbed into the bed. Then I remembered I had just put her back into her cage and could hear her munching food.
Then the bed moved as the unknown thing scratched itselfs.
After a minute it stopped.

Sweet Goodbyes

Back when our last rat from the Netherlands died; I was trying to nap on the sofa when I heard a weird noise. I opened my eyes and saw Julia (rat) cleaning herself on the other end of the sofa. I pushed myself upright with my arm and said her name out loud with confusion.
She turned around and looked at me.
I closed my eyes and wondered if I was dreaming.
When I opened them again she was gone, but I was still sitting with my arm proping me up. (I'm 100% sure I was awake. I don't sleep walk)

The Creeper

First known encounter:  Was about go down stairs when I saw a black figure huddled over on the bottom step. At first I tried to walk past it but the closer I got to it the more fear  I felt. In the end I waited foe my partner and made him go first.

Second known encounter: was looking outside to see what the dog was barking at. Dog went back inside & left me alone, at night, standing next to the shed. I kept hearing noises in the shed but put it down to wind untill it moved closer and I felt that fear again.
I ran inside and slamed the door. I felt it trying to find a way in, then it got into the kitch (I'm not sure how, the window maybe) At this point I was sitting near the kitchen door. I could feel it getting slowly closer, I was too scared to look behind me into the kitchen. But I managed to jumped up and slamed the door and hoped it would leave.

Therd known encounter: Watching the dog run around the back at night and saw what looked like a person trying to hide behind the door while trying to also peek out at the same time.
The dog noticed this, ran to them and started jumping about playfully. I went to go outside but me moving made it notice me and the fear was there again. I watched them play with the dog in the shed for a bit before they finally left and the dog finally listened to me to come back inside
