Shadows, Sleep Paralysis, And Voices

My name is Josie, and ever since my mother and I have moved into this house weird things have been happening.

One day I was in the kitchen getting something to eat, and I had happened to glance out the window just in time to see something black zoom past, I shrugged it off as my eyes, or even possibly my hair. But a few minutes later I glanced out the window again, and the same type of black thing zoomed past it again, but this time the opposite way. This frequently happens to me now.

Later that day I was sitting at my desk, playing on my computer when all of the sudden everything on my desk (My desk had a shelf like thing connected to it) started sliding off of the shelf and falling. Which was quite strange because the desk itself was sturdy, and wasn't even shaking when everything was falling off. Plus everything that was placed in such a way that it wouldn't easily be knocked over. I was quite shaken at this.

In this house I also have frequent sleep paralysis which I personally believe has something to do with ghosts/spirits/demons/entities. Once my mom and her now ex-boyfriend were going to the store and I decided to stay home. A few minutes after they left I laid down on the couch and fell asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep but when I woke up, everything was pitch black, I was utterly terrified. I'll try to explain what I felt the best I can, but it's hard. It almost felt like my arms were in a straight jacket and stuck across my chest and my legs felt like they were sewn together. I felt like something was sitting on me or holding me down. After what seemed like forever, I was finally let go. I sat up, shaking and scared. It felt as if something was laughing at me, and I kept on seeing specks of white wherever I turned my head. Soon after my mom and her boyfriend came home.

Another time I was sleeping in my bedroom (Something I rarely can manage to do, I feel as if something is constantly watching me) and I woke up to this shadow passing over the ceiling a couple times, before going just above my feet, where I started to feel a pressure, the shadow slowly spread towards my face, and the farther it got, I felt pressure, from my feet, to my knees, to my waist, to my chest, and so on. Then when my whole body felt that pressure, it zoomed off again and my body felt normal. It repeated this about 3, 4 times. Before I was let go.

I frequently feel drained to the point I feel as if I slept for a week, I'd still be tired. And I do often sleep a lot, as in wake up for a few minutes, go back to sleep, wake up for a few minutes, go back to sleep, repeat for a few days. I also feel like something has its hand on my back quite a lot, center of back usually, slightly to the left. My whole body can be cool or cold, but that one spot will be warm, sometimes even hot. And frequently I'll hear some voice quickly say "Josie!", which is my name. Some times it will sound like a female, sometimes a male. Male mostly.

My moms room mate (Who has now moved, though) also has experienced some stuff in the house. She has said sometimes she'll be walking past my computer desk and see a shadow sitting at it, which will quickly disappear. She has said she heard voices, and once she sat at my desk to use her laptop when I was at my dads for a week or so, and the door to my room (My desk was right next to my room) kept on opening no matter how well it was closed, and she began feeling a constant chill. Which I believe stayed with her until she left my desk.

My moms new boyfriend told me recently that he was laying on the couch and all of the sudden the plant hanger started swinging and swaying. I just kind of laughed and said it could have been the wind or someone walking by, but he insisted that no one walked by. And after he told me this my mom mentioned that her friend dropped her daughter's ashes outside a few days before.
