When i walk down the hallway in my house to get to my room i have a very strong feeling that something is following me/ watching me. It happens at night and during the day, rather i'm home alone or not. When i was younger i used to get so scared that i would actually run to my room. Recently i had this feeling again when i was in the dark, i looked behind me and i swear my eyes were playing tricks on me. I started feeling really nervous walking towards my room not wanting to look behind me again. When i got there and as i was closing the door, i stopped to look and thought i saw something a few inches away from me, scaring me to death i slammed the door shut and ran to my bed. Am i paranoid or what? I mean it happen during the day... not just at night!

    i don't really believe in ghosts, but i suppose anything is possible. my rule is, unless he/she/it makes physical contact with me, then i'm just going to assume i'm going crazy from all the alcohol and/or drugs.

    Smoke some weed. That might cure your paranoia. Or it might make it way worse... But it is worth a shot right?

    Probably a harmless spirit! Just a person!

    I feel the same way when I'm in my friends house that was a site of a battle ground. I personally believe in ghosts and you shouldn't be afraid.

    I'm not going to vote on this. Just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

    Or, more accurately, you're either paranoid or you're right.

    Anyway, the real problem here isn't paranoia; it's cowardice. You're not facing your fears.

    My whole life, when I thought I was being followed, I'd turn around and look to see if I was. If the feeling was really strong, I'd actually go and investigate. In this way, I discovered that, no, nothing was following me. Once that conclusion was reached, it stopped being a problem.

    So, the solution to your problem is simple investigation: stop running from something until you're sure it's there.

    Oh, and don't even THINK about buying a gun or something. With your panic reaction, that's a good way to set off a wild shot that randomly kills some little girl while she looks out her window to see what the heck you're doing. Just turn around, look, and walk TOWARDS your fear instead of away from it, and don't touch any sharp or otherwise dangerous objects until you deal with this.

    Its ok, everytime you bolt, I do too. One day I WILL catch you.

    Its normal if you live in a creepy/haunted house. Its mildly abnormal otherwise, but something all of us go through from time to time. I spent 15 minutes wandering around my house at 3am a few days ago because I got that bad feeling, its k.

    Leave a lamp on in your hall.

    Funnily enough, I've had a new house built but everytime I leave the sitting room and go into the hall, I put my hands up as I think I'm about to crash into someone taller than me. I leave a lamp on in one corner now.

    It could be a spirit. But you may just be paranoid. You gotta ask yourself if as long as you been there has anything really happened that could confirm a spirit? Real strange occurences, noises & such. You may be scared for nothing.

    If your paranoid, so am I. Whenever I walk up and down stairs, I feel like somethings gonna get me. I hate walking in the dark unless someone warm and trusting like my (lol) dad or friends are there with me.
