Tight Sheets

Growing up and living in my parent's home, I have always felt some sort of presence or heard strange noises. Whenever I would complain to my mother it was "always" my imagination or she would say, "You must have heard a mouse." It was frustrating that no one would believe me and I hated being alone in that house. Even now I hardly visit unless other family members will be there. Years would pass and by the time I was ready to move out... I couldn't wait to leave. It was emotionally draining living there and just not feeling comfortable in that house. It wasn't until much later that my sister and I were talking about the house when one of us brought up the fact that it's haunted. My sister confirmed her own feelings and confirmed a lot of what I went through. It felt so good to hear that I wasn't the only one.

This is just one of the many things that happened: On several occasions I would wake up in the middle of the night laying face up towards the ceiling in my bedroom and just feel heavy. It didn't feel like someone was laying on me, it felt like my sheets were getting tighter and tighter on me almost like it was going to go right through me. I remember lifting my head and looking down towards the foot of the bed at my body and I could definitely see an outline of my skinny body. I wasn't able to move and it was a little hard to breath. It was obvious to me that something was pulling my thin sheet so tight that I couldn't move. I remember feeling claustrophobic and being afraid. Then all of a sudden it would go away. I'm not sure what that means, but having this happen to you many, many times isn't any fun.
