First of all, I just want to say that this is a TRUE story, and it's the only one of this kind that I had. When I was about 6 or 7, (I'm almost 13 now) I used to sleep on a camp bed in my older sister's room. During the nights that I slept there, I used to hear loud bangs that used to wake me up. These bangs would continue when I was awake, too.

The first time this happened, this didn't bother me. I went to my dad and woke him up, saying that something heavy had fallen over. Just then, I heard another bang, and asked dad if he heard it, too. He didn't.

This happened night after night, and one night, I woke up after hearing another bang. I wasn't afraid, just annoyed. I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep, so I sighed and turned my head to the side, looking at my hand that was resting on my pillow. Then, I felt a cold hand lightly grip mine. Even though I was looking at my hand, I didn't see anything. I was terrified.

The next day, I told my dad what happened (my mom didn't really believe me). He said it might be a ghost or spirit of some kind, and told me to speak to it. The next night, another bang woke me up, so I said "Whoever you are, please move on. You have no need to be here. Move on."

That was the last time I heard these bangs, and they never bothered me again.

Since then, I sometimes dream about people, places or things that I later saw, even thought I never saw them before.
