Floating above my bed

This story was submitted to the site by Nathan Skinner from Brittany, France.
I was around seven years old, it was at night and I was trying to get to sleep. It was quite warm so when this was the case what I would do is put my hands under my pillow where it's quite cool. I'm unsure how to explain this without making it sound crazy but, I started floating, I couldn't feel anything lifting me or pushing me up or anything of the sort... I was floating, gradually getting higher and higher above my bed, of course being terrified I hugged my pillow tightly as I floated a meter or so above my bed, then I started drifting towards the left, my bed sheets gradually falling off me and smooshed at the end of the bed, a good two meters or so to the left of my bed I slowly step floating back down to the ground.
Being terrified, I shouted for my grandma to come and help (I was spending the summer at my grandma's house). She came running in and opened the door, I asked her to turn the light on and once on she found me on the floor with my pillow behind my head. At first she though I had rolled off but the bedsheets would've been dragged to the left as I rolled out and I wouldn't have made it two or so meters left of my bed, also, I wasn't dreaming as my grandma remembers coming to see what was going on.

I've believed in ghosts for most of my life (I'm 13) because of this but I've stopped believing in ghosts for a few years now, could someone please try to explain how I floated? It's been on my mind for ages... And if it was a ghost or whatever, why? Because the house although almost being a mansion and being over 200 years old doesn't have a haunted feel to it and I've not had any paranormal experiences there apart from that.
