Freaky breathing sounds?

Question

The first time it happened, I was about ten years old and I was in bed trying to sleep when I heard the sound of something breathing next to me in my bed. Everything went cold and I was so scared I couldn't move. Eventually I managed to jump out of bed to my parent's room and tell them. I wasn't just the sound, I actually felt like there was something next to me. I couldn't sleep in that room for months, I just had this horrible feeling about, which I'd had since I'd moved in there, like there was someone always watching me. I don't know, maybe it was just my imagination.

Eventually I moved into a different room but the difference was amazing, because I actually felt safe in this room, unlike the other one.(I know it sounds weird)

But then a couple of years later I started to hear the breathing again. Eventually I got used to it and now I'm fourteen and hear it often and sometimes when I bothers me I just will it to stop and it does (sometimes it takes a while.)

Answer 1

It's just an auditory hallucination brought on by various stimulus present.  Fear of the unknown when something strange occurs can cause things like this to snowball and you end up feeling presences and seeing strange things.......plenty of things can happen.

It's not real.  If you believe you are really hearing this then I would immediately seek a psychologist to talk this over.  This isn't saying you're a nutter though you do need to talk with someone qualified not some spiritual nutter whose research is not based in verifiable repeatable and accepted scientific research/evidence.

Answer 2

You're not crazy.  I'm sure you've already considered this, but it is possible you are hearing yourself breathe.  When you go to bed the lights are off, so with your eyes out of commission your other senses become more acute.  Your ears are then in charge of your security.  However, as I'm sure you can imagine, as our eyes can see things inaccurately our ears can hear things inaccurately.  I would imagine this is what's going on here.  Your anxiety is just your body trying to defend itself, but it's giving you bad information.

Answer 3

do research on the house because maybe someone who lived there long ago who died may be making the sounds if you still have no answers watch Physic Kids on Mondays 10/9c pm....I've watch a couple episodes && its real stuff

Answer 4

People can see visual illusion. They can also have illusions of hearing. That's actually pretty common especially when you're sleepy or falling asleep. I'm sure that's all it is.

Answer 5

I wish I had an answer for that.  How ever I do not.  What I wanted to tell you was why not try to record the breathing?  Two months ago I investigated a house that had an entity in it that was very possessive of the house.  We put recorders in every room of the house and left for three hours.  It was a huge success.  We got all kinds of voices and other strange phenomenon, but the coolest things were in the basement.  Almost three hours of some one breathing heavily.  This would fade in and out, along with some one calling the name Laura.  And once in a while you also hear some one say daddy.  But the breathing is chilling. It is one of the coolest and some what scariest things I have recorded.  Just put a digital recorder in your room and leave for a while.  Make sure to tell some one your doing it, of course.  Parents or friends so that they know what you are trying to do.  Get the breathing on tape, you have proof, not just for them, but for yourself as well.

Answer 6

one word POLTERGEIST

Answer 7

I think the spirit/entity or whatever it is changed rooms when you did, obviously. But it sounds like it has gotten more friendlier. I'm not sure whats going on but I am certain that you are not crazy. Maybe you should research on this more. I hope I helped some. I also hope to hear about your research on it, if any.

Answer 9

That entity is attracted to you for some reason, happens ;)

Answer 10

If something is following you then it is a poltergeist and moving to a different house or room will not make a difference. You are a 14 year old female so you fit the profile.

Poltergeist is from a German word meaning noisy spirits. Reports of poltergeists date back to Ancient Roman times.

The activity that takes place will start of with knocks and bangs, furniture starting to move around by itself. Then, the activity will become more intense, manifesting itself through voices and even the appearance of full apparitions. Furniture may slide across the room and beds may shake. Many shows are based on this is a style of haunting because it tends to be the most terrifying and rarest type of haunting that occurs.

Most of the time, in the case of a poltergeist, the haunting circles around a female in her teen years. Some of these cases seem to be caused by the female unknowingly controlling the energy around herself. Some cases happen around people that are stable and in the right mind space.

This haunting is hard to classify due to certain situations. No two are ever really the same. Most of the time you will find that one person in the household seems to be more affected by the haunting than anyone else. It may seem that most of the activity doesn't happen unless that certain person is present. Usually, the activity appears to stop when that person leaves the home. The majority of the time poltergeists are experienced by several people, but again they seem to center around one certain person. This person may be highly stressed as of late or maybe this person has gone through some type of extreme emotional situation. If this is the case, see that the individual involved gets some medical care, and soon afterwards the poltergeist will subside.

When it is not the teenager that is manifesting activity there are usually several spirits in the area. The spirits appear to pool their energy together in order to become strong enough to move larger objects and make more noises. In order to remedy the situation, you need to find the root of their anger so that they can pass over and leave you in peace. On most poltergeist cases they will disappear with out any warning, just as they appeared. Certain times it may stop within a few days, other times it may take years. You may never know the reason that it happened. Most people are just happy to see it go and that's enough for them.

By understanding why it was there in the first place helps you to understand how to keep it from ever coming back again. Knowledge is the key in protecting yourself in this world.

Answer 11

Actually, on Monday I came downstairs in my house and I heard something in the living room. There was unusual breathing noises and I looked-nothing. Still, I was freaked out about this.

Anyway, this could be one of three things. A: your imagination. I know, sometimes it's like, "But I saw it!" even though in reality, "it" wasn't there. Your experience could possibly be a hallucination, which is somewhat better than the real thing.

B: the feeling of being watched over might be your guardian angel. Do you have someone you loved who passed away? Most likely, yes. They might be with you just in that room.

C: There is a ghost in your house. Don't be alarmed. Unless if you excessively bother the ghost with strange questions, or if they had a bad life and won't let you forget it, they are not dangerous. The ghost or spirit is probably attached to that room in the sense that he or she died there or very important and/or sentimental value to them.

I give you great credit that you told the spirit to stop. Please do it politely, or else it will get angry and make you want to notice them. Another word of advice: Don't use an ouija board to contact the spitits. Ouija boards are very dangerous and demons and other harmful ghosts and spirits could torture you.

I hope I helped. Good luck!!! =)

Answer 12

WOW. That happened to me. Not kidding. If you use that link answer 2 gave you read my answer. I got best answer. I was in the bathroom and I heard whispering right behind me. I knew I was not hearing things because I could sense something there talking about me. Almost exactly the same thing only a few differences. I had a bad feeling, I sensed something bad. I was scared to tell someone but I talked to my brother and his friend. My mom, my other brother and my brothers other friend didn't believe me. I am 2 years younger than you so I watch Physic Kids [ It is on tonight Monday at 10:00 on A&E]

Get permission from your mom or dad to contact someone. If you do that you should contact this man and his team

his name is Ryan Buell [ it is from the show Paranormal State, on tonight at 11:00 and 11:30 same channel as Physic Kids]

here is his email

[e-mail]

and then

[e-mail]

Only good team I can think of.

You could be a medium like my brother thinks I am. A medium is a person you can sense energy or spirits in a room. They feel comfortable contacting these mediums or sensitives because they are well sensitive to the other side hence the name sensitive. They're are many differnet names like sensitive, physics, mediums, the list goes on.

Answer 13

I wonder if you are just hearing yourself breathe and are misinterpreting it as coming from elsewhere in your sleepy state?

I assume you don't sleep with a dog in your room or anything obvious like that?
