This is something that happened to me when I was a little boy. It has always stuck in my mind, even today and is one of the reasons I’m searching for answers and joined Kent Paranormal Seekers.

I remember one night as a child of only 7 or 8 years old.  I was lying awake in bed when I heard the bedroom door open.  My door rubbed on the carpet so was stiff to open.  I remember having my eyes closed and pretending to be asleep, thinking it was my mum doing the rounds.  I lay there with my eyes closed, listening to the door scuffing over the carpet followed by hearing feint footsteps over the carpet coming towards my bed.  I still kept my eyes shut pretending to be asleep as I felt the presence of what I thought was my mum leaning over checking on me.  I could feel someone breathing over me with their cold breath over my neck and face.  So I thought I would make her jump, I turned over quickly and opened my eyes but to my surprise there was no one there,  That really scared me so I hid under the covers until I fell asleep.  This happened to me a couple of times, and each time I would just curl frightened under the covers hoping that I wasn't going to be touched by something.
