This happened to me when I was at an all time low. My long term partner and I had decided to part, then my mother died unexpectedly at the age of 50. I felt my life was falling apart.

I had worked late one evening and came back to my house, I felt very lonely. I decided to go to bed about midnight. I was lying in bed trying to sleep but sleep was not happenning. Suddenly I heard a bang downstairs then footsteps climbing the stairs, I never close the bedroom door and could hear the footsteps even though the stairs were carpeted. I can only say that at this moment I experienced complete and utter terror, I was sure that someone had broken into the house and was now coming up the stairs. I was lying in bed looking towards the door my eyes felt as though they were bulging. The footsteps stopped by the door. I closed my eyes, I could feel a rush and tingle in my head, I was too scared to look.

After a few seconds I heard footsteps again, they seemed to go round the bed. I then felt the bed dip as though someone had sat on it. I thought my head was about to explode, I was so scared that I couldnt open my eyes.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my head, as soon as this happened a feeling of calm came over me, a voice was saying its OK everything will be OK. My head was stroked, I didnt open my eyes but I was no longer scared. I felt the bed move as though someone had got of it and the footsteps went back round the bed to the door where they disappeared. I opened my eyes, I felt extremely calm and actually had the best nights sleep in months. I realized that no one had broken into the house. If only I hadnt been so scared, maybe I would have seen this entity as well as felt and heard it.
