What Is This?

No one is going to believe me I already know this; that's why I've never told anyone. But I have to tell SOMEONE even if it's a bunch of strangers. Please no hate or name calling. I've never even thought about telling anyone until now- 7-8 years after this happened.

I was around 10 or 11 years old and I was visiting my grandparents in West Virginia. Now, I'm not sure if the land is sacred or whatever, nor do I know if the house is old but it's a double-wide so I'm guessing it isn't. My sister and I slept on the floor in the girl's room (they are foster parents and they separated the boys and girls) and in the middle of the night I woke up and sat straight up, looked to my right and saw this glowing figure- but it wasn't just a shadow or anything like I usually see now, it was a full on man down to every detail. What confuses me most about it was he was dressed as a nurse or doctor and had a puppy in his hands, and he leaned down and didn't do anything but the dog tried to lick me and it was in slow motion. Sounds unbelievable but it really did happen- I know for a fact I was awake because I remember quickly ducking my head under the blanket and looking back out and they were gone. So, I'm not crazy and I don't think I was hallucinating but who knows.

Now that I look back on it, it does sound ridiculous and I am a believer, and I believe in animal spirits as well. But I don't understand why that happened. As a child I was a lot more calm than I am now. I've had bad experiences with spirits especially within the last 4 years so I'm more often scared. But yeah, that's my story. Anyone know why this would happen?
