Shadowy Figure

This happened just a few months ago.

I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep when suddenly I felt another presence studying me. I opened my eyes and saw a black figure standing at the base of my bed. I tried to yell for my sister, who was asleep on the the other side of room, but discovered my throat was completely dry and nothing was coming out of my mouth. The figure grabbed my legs and pulled me from my bed. It started dragging me out of my bed when I finally made a quiet yell come out of my mouth and grabbed my bed, even though I felt extremely weak, and tried to hang on to it. This woke my sister up and she asked me what I was doing. The shadow was gone but I was on the floor still clutching the bed. My sister thought I was just having a nightmare or sleepwalking.

But it happened again two weeks later except this time I was completely paralyzed and the figure grabbed me and spun me around on the floor a few times before beginning to drag me again. (It felt like the figures mind was moving me, I was spinning too quickly for someone to be pulling me.) I tried to yell, and felt this grip on my throat. I mentally kept fighting it and the figure diappeared and I could breathe again. I didn't tell anyone this time because I didn't want to scare them.

Then a few days ago I was laying in bed with my eyes closed and suddenly felt like a huge weight was pressed on my chest and something was grabbing my throat. I tried to move but was paralyzed again. I couldn't even open my eyes. I heard my mom come into my room and hug me goodnight, but the figure was still there and she seemed to think I was just sleeping and started to leave the room. I finally managed to open my eyes just as she closed the door and had left. I couldn't see the figure this time, I just felt it trying to strangle. I was terrified because I thought this figure was going to kill me while my parents were in the next room asleep. I started mentally fighting back and gained control of my arms and the pressure stopped and I could tell the thing was gone.

If anyone knows a way to get rid of whatever this thing is please email me because my ten year old sister is starting to wake up and see a shadowy figure staring at her. It hasn't hurt her yet, but I'm worried a demon or something evil is in our house and will go after her next. It has only been seen by me and my younger sister. She and I also have had premonition type experiances and I'm wondering if there's a reason why it goes after us and leaves my 19 and 14 year old sisters alone. (I'm 17.) If anyone has had any similiar experiances please email me at flyingfree17@yahoo.com.
