Tthere was so much going on in this apartment. We've been living here for 5 years and there's been so much going on lately. There seem to be many more incidents and the situation has escalated. My daughter and I were sitting in my bed and watching TV. Several times we felt something hitting the bed as if it was under the bed. The cat was sleeping, so it wasn't a cat. I heard footsteps when no one was around, and they seemed to stop before I could see who it might be. About a year ago I felt something wrap around my waist while I was sleeping. I felt their warmth. It wasn't that scary, but it was strange and very disturbing.
Over the last year or two, sometimes the fan in my bedroom worked fine, and other times it made noises, puffed, and wouldn't speed up. Our furnace started ticking about 2 weeks ago, as if the timer might be stuck. Over the next few days it accelerated, became speedy and thunderous. No investigation revealed a cause. It has now stopped on its own and seems to be back to normal.
One night I was sleeping and felt someone grab my legs between my feet and knees and shake them as if to wake me up. I was terrified and I could hear myself crying, but I was moaning more and having the hardest time waking up. It was like I felt what was happening but couldn't wake up. But I did it and had no trouble moving around when I woke up.
Last night, while sitting at my computer around 2 a.m., I heard footsteps in the living room next to me. I seriously thought someone was coming around the corner and I got scared. I stood up and thought: “What the hell will I do to defend myself?” they stopped to avoid coming around the corner of the room where I could see them, so I stood up and, sure enough, there was nothing there.
So, last night, after going to bed… I must admit, I was quite nervous about what was happening… I went to sleep and felt someone pulling my hair… Grabbing different sections of my hair and pulling speedy and tough. I remember trying to grab my hair and screaming. My daughter was sleeping in my bed and I whispered her name – as if I was afraid to call out – I just moved closer to her and went to sleep – or maybe I just never woke up. I'm not sure. It was so real, but I don't remember if I woke up or never woke up.
What do you think about all this? I'm really scared and I feel like there's someone in this apartment… A man… And it's not really bad, but scary. Any comments will be welcome.

It happened again last night while I was sleeping. I felt it all over the bed, I screamed at him to leave me alone (in my sleep) and then I thought of telling him to go into the delicate. I woke up. Then I thought it might be someone I knew and told her not to be afraid and that I forgive him. I repeated to go to the delicate. I got a little scared, so I sat on the bed, turned on the delicate and turned up the TV. After a few minutes, I heard the trash can in my bathroom slide across the floor. I wanted to make sure, so I went and checked and it didn't come back positive, so I moved it back into place. I went to bed. I had to make sure he moved. I put it back where I found it after the noise and realized that yes, it had been moved. I have no doubt that I heard it move – it was glass on the ceramic tile floor – a distinct sound. I'm starting to think that by sleeping with the lights and TV on, I'm thwarting it and not being able to get close to me. For the last few nights I slept without the delicate on but with the TV on… Last night it didn't seem to matter whether the TV was on or not. When the bathroom trash can moved, I thought maybe this thing was crazy because it couldn't get to me. Worried.
