In 1984 my parents sent me to RSA ahead of our emigration out of Zimbabwe, to a boarding school in the Eastern Transvaal. This would be the first year (1984) that English would be integrated into a current Afrikaans school... Grades 8 & 9. It was a agricultural orientated school set in the high mountains.
On weekends, the local boarders would go home but us newbies obviously didn't have homes to go to for the weekend, as we are +_ 1500km from home. Anyway, come 2nd term most of us made local friends and guys would go be "signed out" and spend the weekend off hostel grounds. The remaining of us would watch movies in the study hall or potter around usually.
One weekend, I was the only person on my floor... Everyone else had gone home. On a floor in the girls hostel there are 1 room at each end of the hall that sleeps 2 (usually seniors) . Then there are 2 dorms in the middle, sleeping 6 each. I shared mine with 5 other Non-local girls with my bed at the far right corner from the dorm door. So if you walk into my dorm, my bed is the last, against the far right wall (under the window). Please bear in mind, my dorm is on the 3rd floor.
I showered and went to bed, like normally - no problem, even though I was alone. We have a door that closes at the entrance of the passage leading into our floor. I closed it, to feel better I suppose. Where I come from - you secure everything. Habit I guess.:) I don't know what time it was as there is no clock in our dorm room but I had long fallen asleep when I was awoken by the passage door opening. You could hear the handle creak. Then my dorm door opened in much the same fashion. I was facing the wall (fortunately) and I could hear bare feet walking towards my bed on the linoleum flooring tiles. Then the corner of my bed dipped, like someone sitting down on my bed.
"It" sat there for what felt like hours but must have been roughly a minute. Then my bed lifted and the footsteps retreated out my dorm and faded. I didn't move a muscle or slept. I watched under the curtain above me for sunlight.
I haven't gone into the school's history but I know its been around a long time. Any thoughts? Thanks very much.

I can't help but think that this entity approached you *because* you were facing the wall, as you were in an already defenceless position and sleeping with your face towards the wall made you even more defenceless. Also I don't think this entity was benevolent, (I would say it's mischievous at best) as it seems to have went went out of it's way to scare you. Why else would it have come to you when you were alone and isolated in the dead of night.
As for it sitting on your bed, I think this was to scare you further as I believe some entities can only "feed" off of you when you exude a certain energy, and I believe that is why it did all the things it did (i.e waking you up with its *deliberate* actions) as it wanted you to be in a state of fear and panic so it could feed off of that fear.
Furthermore I believe the reason for it sitting on your bed may have also been to check if you were awake; some negative entities tend to attack or feed off (Drain Life Force) of people when they are asleep.
On a side note I would suggest not sleeping facing the wall as I believe (just a strong hunch) it leaves you more open to attack from these negative *opportunistic* entities.
Anyway that's my two cents, Take Care.
