Sorry this is a long one... When I was a kid, one night my parents wanted to go out for dinner but me being the idiot i am told them no i wanted to study. They told me they would be late and i said i would be okay since we had dogs at home. So when my parents left i was in my room studying when all of a sudden i hear a guys voice call my name... I was like WTF!, i knew i was alone in the whole house. So i stood up and walked to my bed since the voice came from my room itself... Then i opened my window and started petting my dogs(they were outside). They started barking quite aggressively and i kept petting them and asking them whats wrong and that it was just me. Just that second i saw that they were barking at something behind me. I was terrified. The door was behind me and i had to pass whatever they were looking at to get out of my room. I just counted till 3, turned and ran out. I went to the kitchen and went to the back to sit with the dogs. They were there by the time i reached the back so i sat with them a while. I felt safe with them. After about half an hour i thought i must have imagined everything and walked back in to find the fridge door open. This was weird because the door was closed when i passed it before. I just closed the door and walked towards my room. As i turned the corner, my chair moved and faced me. I just sprinted out of the house and sat outside in the dark with my dogs, crying and praying for my parents to come home. As soon as i heard them, i quickly wiped my tears and ran in the house so that they would not see me and ask me whats going on. I was just so relieved to have them back home with me. When i was around 17 years old, i came into the city to do a part time job before school started again. I was staying with a family member. At first as i used to sleep i would feel someone standing over me and i couldnt open my eyes... this usually happens when i sleep on the couch. At night when i was in the guest bedroom, I would feel something crawling towards me from the door to the bed and sit there and watch me. It was hostile. It didnt like me, that i was sure of. This became a nightly thing that i stayed awake and slept during my lunch time at work. I never had the experiences when i was at work.. Ok fast forward a year.. One day when i was at home sleeping.... suddenly i woke up but i couldnt move , i was like what the hell is going on and then suddenly i could see someone or something crouching at the back of me... i was trying to look and then slowly that thing moved towards my face, all i saw was very long wavy hair and it was on my face. I quickly shut my eyes. This thing moved and sat beside me, its face inches from mine.. i could feel its breath on me. It was growling... I just kept my eyes shut trying to push it away. What seemed like eternity,since i was trying to push it with all my strength, it suddenly disappeared and because i was pushing it I sat up on my bed. I was crying.. I was terrified. Since I always slept with my phone beside me, I took my phone and called my house. Then i heard my dad open his door and get the phone, as soon as he picked up i hung up. Just hearing him there gave me the courage to get up and go out of that room. For the next few days i was terrified of entering my own house. my knees would literally shake when I entered the house. I have had so many more experiences like these over the years... sometimes they are sleep paralysis but i have had my share of those which i cannot explain...
