Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

First off, I’d like to say, I’ve always been interested in paranormal studies, events and such. This however I doubt the reason this stuff happens to me.

I’m currently 16 now, but this goes back to the age of 12. I lived with my mother and brother in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our house was a two bed room, so I was forced to share one with my brother. Our grandmother lived in walking distance and my brother and mother always argued because our mother did and said non-motherly things. My brother would mostly always stay with our grandmother, and I always stayed with my mother. This all happened in the summer time, because I remember my mother worked and I was always home alone.

I use to watch ghost videos, read stories, and I even made a Ouija board once. Of course I did it wrong (well I think). I never had any connection or communication with the Ouija board so blah. When your a child and you watch scary things, your mind will obviously process to play tricks on you. I obviously saw shadows, and stuff. But that’s normal when you watch that stuff. Or so it seemed.

Shortly after that day, I literally started to see shadows, figures and black figures dart from my room. I use to wake up and my room would be dark. I was a cry baby so I always kept the television on. One time the television actually cut off on me!

I don’t believe it was the house, probably just my imagination… but the television? I don’t think so. We moved from the house when I turned 15 into a new house my mothers friend use to own. And more stuff happened. I’d stay up till 3 AM watching cops, and I’d always see what looked like a cat dart up stairs. We own two cats, however they follow me like two baby ducklings. They were beside me when this happened. I was never scared just… frightened a bit.

My most recent experience was recently. about a week or two ago. As I said I have two cats, brothers. One always sleeps with me, and he hisses at anything and everything that comes close to me. So I’m going to sleep and I have this dream, I can’t remember what it was about, but I remember in the dream I couldn’t move. I remember clearly in the dream I kept telling myself “Wake up! Wake up now!” And for some reason I couldn’t. When I finally did awake, I still couldn’t move… I was able to move my fingers but literally couldn’t move. While trying to roll over, My cat arched his back and hissed at the fan. He never hisses at our fan. I was so scared I thought I was going to die.

When I finally could move, I tried to grab the ceiling fans light switch. When I reached for it, a plastic bag beside my bed rattled. I flipped out and pulled the switch, and nothing out of the ordinary. I slept with the light on in my room that whole night.

Most people would tell me “Oh it was just your body functioning wrongly.” But that wasn’t the case. It was the end of summer, my room was cold, I couldn’t move, and my cat hissed. It wasn’t fan cold. More like air condition cold. I sometimes hear things as well. I don’t know, Maybe it really just is my mind?  But this stuff always happens to me around 1 – 4 AM. Mostly at 3 AM. I wanted to post my story here because I need help. I don’t feel threatened, and I sometimes feel watched, but I would feel much better if someone was able to tell me something is with me and won’t harm me.

Any suggestions as to how I can figure what is going on?
