Okay, I will say that this experience wasn't the first for me but it was the latest one before I moved four months ago to another state. Anyway, this happened back in Jan. when my second step dad remodeled the house a bit and my bedroom is in the basement.

It happened one night before the 17th, my parents were out partying while my two younger siblings were at my grandparents place, so I was basically home alone. I was watching a movie like I always do on a Friday night, but I normally stay up til 2 or 3am though this night I didn't, I went to bed around 9pm. When I went down the stairs to my bed I started hearing footsteps behind me, I figure that it was just my cat Pennylane following me to bed, but it wasn't sounds of paws walking on tile or carpet so I didn't think anything of it and let it go.

I lay down in my bed and try to sleep, but I couldn't because I kept on getting a eerie feeling of being watched. Then I started hearing footsteps again, someone/something was coming down the stairs and started headed towards my bed(the lights were off) I started to get freaked out a bit so I turned on the lights and saw no one. Pennylane was no where near me and everyone was out of the house. The sounds of footsteps kept walking around my bed, I shook it off coz I knew that it couldn't hurt me. However, when I turned my head to look at the little couch pillows from it started flying across the room and hit the wall on the other side of the room. That's when I knew something bad was down there and I went running upstairs.

I was literally freaked out by that and when my parents got home. I tried telling them what happened, but I couldn't bring myself to do it coz they'd just tell me I was just dreaming but I know I wasn't dreaming. IT WAS REAL and my parents don't believe in paranormal activity.
