This happened in Gombe, Nigeria. I was like eleven when I decided I wanted my own personal room, I have been sharing a room with my elder brother who's one year older than me. I lived in a three bed room apartment with my two siblings. My sister was having her own room, me and my brother were sharing a single room and our parents were having the other room also. It was a government apartment allocated to my dad when he was transferred to the state.
There was another detached two bedroom apartment in the compound which wasn't occupied so I decided to move there on my own.
But the thing was no one has ever lived there for the past twenty years until the day we moved that it was renovated. I transferred all my things there and slept peacefully for about a week, the problem started when I got a stereo system and I was listening to music on a high pitch for almost everyday. I started having trouble sleeping, I will sometimes wake up and couldn't go back to sleep. That's how I will stay awake until 6am. It went on for like a week. And then one day I felt lucky as I was sleepy, so I went to bed early, I was awaken by an intense pressure I felt on my chest and I was instantly knocked unconscious. I recovered in like five minutes and I managed to see a woman, sitting before me but she wasn't exactly facing me. She was putting on hijab or himar and the way she was seated seemed like she just finished praying facing the qibla (where Muslims face to pray). I closed and opened my eyes for like five times to confirm that I wasn't dreaming and then finally my attention was drawn to a sound I heard beside me, before I turned around she was no where to be found. She just disappeared into thin air without any traces.
I couldn't go back to sleep for the rest of the night, I covered myself with a blanket despite the unfavorable condition of the weather, it's during the dry season (extremely hot in the northeast). And this thought came to me, probably the jinn use to observe her prayers in the house and the music I played all day long disturbs her that's why she decided to give me a sign. So I decided to get rid of the stereo system the next day and from that day onward I was able to sleep peacefully. I told my dad and he told me that maybe it was the music that attracted the jinn, and encouraged me to pray more and consistently to avoid further encounter and also get rid of anything that has to do with music. At least until everything goes back to normal.
