    I just stumbled upon your post and I want to say that it is perfectly normal to be scared about something that you may not understand.



    My name is Tony and I am a paranormal investigator with a group called The Spirit Seekers out of Little Rock, Arkansas.



    The first thing you should keep in mind is that ghosts, if there is one present, are not out to harm you. They are just energies of people who have remained on this plane of existence for one reason or another. Perhaps they do not know that their life here on earth has ended or they are stuck here with unfinished business.



    From your description though, it sounds like there may be more earthly forces at work. You mentioned that you have general anxiety disorder and this could be causing an event known as sleep paralysis where the person experiencing it feels like they are being watched, they may have difficulty breathing, and at times they may even see shadow figures.



    Also, I noticed that you generally have encounters when you are aware of other people in the surrounding apartments. You said things were fine when you learned the apartment was empty and activity picked up again when you discovered a group of college kids had moved in. This could be adding to your overall anxiety which is manifesting itself in the form of sleep paralysis.



    Before anyone can say something is paranormal they have to eliminate any possible real world explanations. Your room could also have high Electromagnetic Fields that spike when adjoining apartments are using electricity. High EMF levels can cause paranoia, nausea, restlessness and can even cause some people to break out in a rash.



    I would have an electrician look into the wiring of the apartment and see if you have a high EMF level in the home. You can do this yourself by purchasing or having someone purchase an EMF meter for you. You can get them at Radio Shack or online. Other electrician sores should carry them too.



    If you are indeed dealing with a ghost or some other sort of paranormal entity keep in mind that you have been sensing its presence for a while and it has never hurt you. It very well might not even be aware of your existence. Contrary to popular belief and despite what movies show you, there has never been a proven case of a ghost harming someone. Heck, we can't even scientifically prove they exist yet.



    Hang in there, if things get too scary or out of control, talk to your mom about it and see if you can contact a local paranormal investigations group to investigate and determine if you are truly haunted. Good luck. If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Spirit Seekers, Inc at ssisubmissions@aol.com
