My Unexplained Experiences

First of I want to start with thanking everyone for reading my story. I have been contemplating about submitting this story for a long time. I do not know for sure if these these occurrences are all paranormal but put together just can't make me put it aside as just being weird.

My story is about a short period during my puberty when I was about fourteen years old, maybe a little older. My first part of this story is when I was waking up shortly after I fell asleep. I woke up with a feeling of pressure on my chest and pressure on my neck. It felt as if someone is sitting on my chest facing towards me and having "his" (it felt as a mans presence) hands choking me. During this time my legs were apart with the blanket still covering me. While I was lying there I could not move but I did feel that the blankets between my legs were pressed on my legs, before this they were just lying upon me soft. I've known about sleep paralysis for a while and I do believe that it is very likely that this was a case of sleep paralysis but the hands on my neck and the moving of movements is still making me doubt.

My second experience is also in bed when is was laying down listening to some music. While I was laying there I had the urge to use the bathroom but I was stalling this because I was too comfortable. Suddenly I felt that someone was sitting on the side of my bed, I felt the bed going down like someone sat down. I also felt that someone was stroking the side of my face and hair. I felt at peace and loved by this figure. I got a mental image of a woman covered in white light. After a while this feeling and image left and I became aware of the fact that during this presence the urge of having to use the bathroom was gone and only came back when "she" left.

My last experience is the most meaningful to me because I could connect it to an experience from my mother. At one time I was upstairs, we slept downstairs, and brushing my teeth when I was looking in the hall. I got a mental image of a young girl wearing a cream colored dress, blond curling heir and a doll or bear tucked under her arm. Because I am a very skeptical person I just said to myself that I was tired and had to go to bed. A few moments later I had the feeling that the girl got up close to me and was standing by my side. I still only had a mental image but now it was combined with an urging feeling from her to be hugged. I still dismissed this as being tired and went to bed.

About a year later I was talking to my mother about our house and the feeling that even though we were comfortable and nothing big happened in our house something was feeling strange about our house. My mother was talking about a period when I was younger, I guess around four years old, when she would wake up from noises coming from my play room. This was a big room in the basement where all the other rooms would come together with the stairs. In this room my toys where stored so I had space to play with them because my room was very small. The noises she heard were from a little girl playing with my toys. My mother always thought that this would be me and that I had crawled out of bed to secretly play with my toys. But every time she found me in bed sleeping and the playroom entry. During our conversation she told me she thought it was a young girl with a cream colored dress and a doll tucked under her arm.

The first two stories I can believe that it was a coincidence but the third makes me doubt. I was hoping that someone can help me explain what I have been experiencing these years ago. Since this nothing has happened to me and I have moved.
