A while back, my family and I lived in this house in Southern California, and it was always very dark in the house... even though we had plenty of natural lighting. Anyways, my mom always joked that it was haunted (I don't know exactly why). But, after we had lived in the house for about three or four years, some strange stuff happened... well, one day while I was in the kitchen with my younger brother and my mom; I was slowly rolling a ball to my brother, at one point the ball bounced off his knee and rolled away... it stopped and staying in one place for a few seconds then rolled back to me...(???) we didn't know what it could be, so we dismissed it as our imagination.

About a few months later, I woke up to a breathing... I tried to get up, but something was pushing me down... I screamed for my mother and when she came in, the force pushing me down was gone. My mom said, that she thought that if their were spirits in the house, that they were targeting me and my father, because nothing ever happened to my mother or brother.

The force that pushed me down happen repeatedly for the next few years. And my father and I saw some very weird things we cant explain, like in the kitchen one day, there was a loaf of bread on the counter and it flew up in the air and flipped then fell to the floor. Other such things happened... but now we life somewhere else... and my parents dont believe that this house is haunted as well... because I've been seeing plenty of things out of the corner of my eye, and I've been hearing things as well... like whispering and banging...

What could it be?? Is it just my imagination?

maybe, i don't know, how old are you and your brother?

15 & 12

interesting. I have always though sprirts followed me around from house to house to. Its only when I am scared and worried that the ghosts come out. That makes me think its part of my imagination. I dunno

Sillhouette, maybe what you are experiencing is a form of sleep paralysis - I suffer from the same thing. They call it the "Old Hag" syndrome - there is some info on it here:

It can be very scary! Do you still experience this in your new house?

I don't experience this in my new house, which in a way sorta freaks me out. In this house though, I hear voices and other noises... especailly when in my room. It sounds like the voices are talking to me and trying to tell me stuff. One point a few months ago, I woke up because I was extremely cold, though I had all my blankets on. I heard a young womans voice, she was saying something about a bell and danger or something. A few months later I saw a white figure crossing the room, but I didn't think twice about it because I'm quite used to this happening. I told my parents about the experiences, and my father thinks I need more sleep, but in reality I get plenty of sleep. And my mother, who believes all the Psychic stuff, and she says that someone is trying to contact me or something. She said that on the other hand, it could be my guardian angel... but why would my guardian angel tell me about a bell and/or danger?
