I can’t sleep in my house.
It started a week ago maybe a little bit more. I have been barely sleeping. The most sleep I get is 3 hours a night and I have been only able to after 5 in the morning. I live alone in my house so it’s not often I hear noises but lately I keep hearing something. The first time I scared myself so bad I had to call my sister. I was in the kitchen and I was packing up some things I was going to take to a friend’s when I heard what sounded like foot steps. Even after calling my sister I was uneasy after the situation and I stayed in my living room until 3 in the morning. Then I once heard something shift or something when I was in my hallway. This only happens at night btw. The noises are so clear it makes me paranoid of someone breaking into my house so I can’t sleep. It’s gotten to the point that I feel like I’m being watched in my own house. And I’m mostly only home near dark or when it’s dark because of work so it’s what I’ve been dealing with for days now. I’m so tempted to go stay at my sister’s. I’m not sure what to do. My head hurts and I think maybe lack of sleep is making it worse. I can’t tell if it’s me being messed up or if I’m really hearing things. I can’t even turnover in bed without wanting to check and turn back around because it feels like someone is coming up on me.
Update 6.27.26: I’ve been at my sister’s but I have to go home today. I have this awful feeling ngl and not looking forward to going especially when it comes to sleeping. I like being in a house where it doesn’t feel like I’m being watched at night. But my sister’s going to be having a party soon and I’m not a party type and I don’t have anywhere else to stay so back home for a bit I guess… if I hear anything tonight I’ll try to keep you guys updated.
Update 6.29.26: It’s happening again. The night I came back from my sister’s it was ok. I didn’t hear anything but I was still paranoid being back home. But last night I thought I heard something again. And I heard stuff tonight as well. I’m in my room panicking because I thought it was done or in my head but I’m scared. I already was on the phone with a friend for a while to keep me calm but they went to sleep so I’m on here. I’m hearing footsteps, bumps, I even thought I saw someone in my doorway tonight. That’s why I called my friend. I shut my door and I’m sleeping with the lights on. I don’t think it was really a person but I’m scared to check so I’m not going to. I want to get a video but I’m never prepared. Maybe it’s a ghost? I have checked the house before when I heard the noises and found nothing. But I don’t feel safe to check the house right now. It’s 1:07 am and I’m paranoid.
