You're thinking of either of Lovecraft's Neconomicon, or the Neconomicon ex Mortis from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness. I can't say that this is the same book as either, just what the top of the first page said. I can't even vouch it was the title of the book (maybe my old prof was a Lovecraft fan? To late to ask now).

Not sure about the "pale man," couldn't ever get a direct look at him. Really thought it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. When you're nervous about something its really easy to start thinking you see people watching you. Humans have a great ability to recognize similar humanlike characteristics in "fuzzy" situations. Most likely it evolved as a defense mechanism in the stonage so intruders could be spotted in the dark from a distance.

Anyway, someone(thing?) attacked the poor guy. So I'm less than confident that the most rational explanation is the correct one in this case.
