3 or 4 months ago i woke up from my sleep because i felt something jumping slightly on my bed but nothing happend after that, i just went back to sleep trying not to concern myself too much. but it happend again 2 or 3 times, my mom to whom i said nothing about it felt it too one night when she was sleeping in my bed. i thought it was a house gnom or another elemental so i tried not to get scared. last night though as i was sleeping at about 1:30 i felt the same jump on the left side of the bed. i was sleeping on my back ( i always have nightmares when it's cold and i sleep on my back) and that thing just jumped on my neck trying to strangle me. it wasn't a pressure on my chest or anything just felt like some little thing jumped on my neck and tryied to strangle me with it's hands. i could not move but i've read somewhere that you should do a cross with your tongue so i tried that but there was no efect. then as i always do when i have nightmares and want them to stop i started praying. at first i say Our father in heaven and if that does not work then i say a much more powerful prayer. as i was saying the first prayer he tried to stop me, saying shhhh and pointing a finger at my mouth. it just stoped after that. i was scared but i don't thing in that state i could feel an evil presence. so what is that, is it sp, but then what about my mom, is it a ghost an elemental?
