An entity? It was something

I come from a family with a bloodline to superstition and possibly spiritism thanks to my ancestry being half Filipino and Hispanic, yet, raised in a devout religious upbringing. Over the years from child to adult, I've experienced things out of the ordinary but at the time, never knew any better so I never really gave it a whole lot of thought at the time till my adult years, I'd think back and think "yeah, I think that was strange". From my brother getting his feet and his hair pulled while sleeping, to my sis hearing someone running out of my room and running down the hallway or playing my drums in the middle of the night. I have also, whilst living at my grandfather's house to help care for him, a cousin of mine told me one night while I was not there in my room, she heard people running in and out of the room I stayed in. I had come home late, there, one night and she comes storming out of her room accusing me of having noisy friends over and running in and out of my room. But the thing also I experienced while there was my grandfather waking up at night yelling "get out, get out and shut up!", to hearing someone stomp right behind me as I was walking to the bathroom. I chalked it up as the house's floorboard cracking since it was hella old.

This particular time I remember, back in 99, I was staying at my parents' house. I had moved out but I went over to visit so I stayed and slept on the couch. I had stayed previously once before and slept on the couch, and I recall waking up at night seeing a shadow pass the front entrance door. Their door has the window with the frosted glass that filled half of the door and a curtain, so the porch light shown through and it was the silhouette I saw as the shadow walked past. I did wake up and called out "mom? sis? hello?". No answer.

But the night I recall vividly, I had one of those sleep paralysis episodes. Always, when I have them, I always hear a crowd of people either chanting or singing, like a stadium full of people. And, always, in the dream, i am either in a indigenous type of village, or around temples or some sort of rock formations. Anyways, as I realized in the sleep paralysis moment, something I do not remember, scared me awake, so as I opened my eyes and tried to get up, suddenly I could not move or make a sound, that is when I saw a hooded shadow move over the top of me, that is when I panicked as it bent over me and I saw a hand, clear as day, seem to descend over my face. I start frantically praying in the name of Jesus. I may have blacked out again, but I woke up moments after, able to move.

I never told my parents, though, they have had to know we had to have had some spirit follow , or inhabit our house. Or, it follows me, but, I have not had any malevolent occurrences happen to me where I live now. Just the occasional nudging me while I am asleep, either I will feel fingers under my pillow, or a push on my feet or face from disembodied fingers. Rarely a breath to my ear. My wife and kids (Kids grown up now), sometimes will see a shadow pass down the hallway but rarely. It does not seem evil, but more like, friendly, as if just accidently passing through our dimension. That's what I'd like to think. The nudges? I don't know. I have other experiences, maybe I will share some more later.
