Strangeness

These are things that happened to me in my current home. I don't know how old my house is but I've been living here for 4 years now. It's a small duplex with a garage.

One evening I was taking a nap alone at home. I think it was around 5 or 6pm. My mom was at church because we're Catholic but I'm not religious so I rarely go. I have a younger sister that I share a room with, but she wasn't home either. I was having a peaceful nap when suddenly I became conscious for no reason. The blanket was still over my head, but I was wide awake. I was prepared to closed my eyes and go back to sleep, when I heard a noise like someone just got off my bed. My bed is a twin size bed, so it fits only one person. I was about to brush it off as my imagination, but whatever it was got back on the bed. This time the noise was louder and I "felt" it lying down beside me. My body wasn't heavy with pressure like in those cases of sleep paralysis. But I couldn't move because I was terrified. The first thing I did was pray over and over in my mind. I asked God to help me and protect me from whatever it was. After a few minutes I finally calmed down enough and gathered my courage to get off the bed. I quickly looked at the side of my bed, but nothing was there. I was still too scared to stay home alone, so I got dress and left the house. I told this account to my mom to see what her thoughts were. She firmly believes that this happened to me because I don't go to church.

After a few months nothing else occurred and I eventually stopped thinking about it. But one night again I was lying on my bed getting ready to go to sleep. This time I'm not home alone. My mom already went to bed ahead of me. Remember that I share a room with my sister, so there are two twin size beds in the room. My sister wasn't home because she was having a sleep over at a friend's house. My blanket didn't cover my head this time; it went up to half my face. My eyes were closed when I heard footsteps in the room walking back and forth. I assumed it was my mom checking up on me or maybe my sister came home. But suddenly the footsteps turned into prancing and it sounded like something fell onto my sister's bed. That definitely could not be my mom or sister, because they would never prance around in the room at night. I opened my eyes and peeked but saw nothing. Needless to say I got no sleep that night.

The most recent event happened to me occurred a few nights ago while I was in the room alone, sitting on the bed with my laptop. My bed suddenly shook and I thought it was an earthquake. It lasted less than one minute. My mom was in the living room watching television. I rushed to her and asked if she felt the earthquake, but she said no. The next day I asked my friends if they felt the earthquake, but no one felt it. The news didn't report any earthquakes either. I decided to ask my sister if she ever experienced anything in our house. But she told me that she hasn't and my mom hasn't mentioned anything either. So it seems like I'm the only one that is experiencing these things. By now I'm really starting to wonder if there's something in my house, but I probably won't seek professional help unless something harms me or my family members.
