Either i have finally lost it, or there is something happening in my house. (And there are 13 letters when i count my first and last name together.)

Right, i had a little episode a few weeks ago. I started freaking out and i couldn't breath properly, i felt like something was squeezing my lungs.

But before that this is what happened:

It was something past 2 in the morning and i was up late reading a new book i had just bought, i remember it was raining heavily outside and it was drumming against my window behind me.
Over the top of the book i thought i had seen something move, but when i looked up there was no one there so i went back to reading. And then i seen a movement out of the corner of my eye to my right, i twisted my head that way so fast i felt like i had given myself whiplash. But again there was no one there. I decided that my lac of sleep was making my vision go, so i folded the top corner of the page i was reading and set it on my bedside table. I stretched and as i stretched down to flick my lamp off, i caught movement again in the corner of my left eye this time. But when i turned my head to see what it was this time, i was speachless. It was like i had suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Standing at the botton of my bed, gripping the metal frame so hard that its knuckles had gone whiter thatn the rest of its skin stood a girl. I couldn't see her face because it had been hidden by her long black hair, it hang over her face the way a vail would a bride. She was wearing a white gown, it looked something like they would give you in a hospital but it had a very faded picture of a light pink rose curled into a little circle.
My breathe caught in my throat and i was finding it difficult to breath. I felt like two hands had passed through my ribcage and wrapped there fingers around my lungs tightly, refraining me from breathing. I was about to scream my head off when i sucked in a little bit of air, but my entire body froze as my light went out and the radio went silent. The electricity had gone out, and at such a bad time.
I scrambled under my duvet and pulled the cover over my head, i stayed like that until i fell asleep.

That is so interesting! hmm you tryed looking into who lived at the house before you and stuff? Any obituaries in the area? Do some studying lol

i have experianced this once or twice.....there are a few ways to stop her....u could set up charms and burn certain incence that prevents them from coming...or u can look into a medium or shaman....a real one not those s**tty ones u see on tv...and get them to perform a seance and if need be an excorcism

I've only seen her twice, both in the space of three years though.

But i don't know who lived in my house before me, i've lived in it for 12 years now.

She's not doing anyone any harm to anyone - although i have woken up sometimes with cuts across my shins - so i think it's just best to leave her be and see if it progresses first before i do anything.

maybe it was shock? if this was the first time you saw her , or second (as long as its not a regular occurance) , you could still be finding it unreal , hence the problems you desscribe because it might cause you to panic because its something you cant explain?

just a thought , my knowledge of this sort of thing is sorely lacking

You could look into the houses history if you really care who she is/was or if you just want rid of her theres some lore I found that seems to say spirits cant stay where they arent welcome. (possibly be where the whole invitation for vampires came from) Try just asking her to leave. If that doesnt work use charms and chants and what not.
