Stop watching The Sixth Sense, and I guarantee you won't see dead people. wasteland2008 Posted at 10:50 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Same here. I get it... but its spirits for me... like if i talk about someone who is dead...like me and my uncle sharing our favorite memory of a dead wrestler....or something, if happens. iconoclast Posted at 8:34 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Possibly stress. I'm a pretty fearless person, but due to a lot of subtle stress, I (at least for awhile before) would feel like there was something watching me sleep a lot of the time. And not even like a 'person', but sort of like some kind of omnipresence. And I'm not schizophrenic or anything, I don't have hallucinations or hear voices or anything. When you sleep, the thoughts that normally preoccupy your mind disappear, and if you're tense, things like hearing and 'perception' can be amplified severely, causing things like that. The horror movie thing makes some sense, too, but I doubt it's only that. Because of sharpened sensitivity to night noise, things like the air filter and the fan would sometimes develop patterns or even get very loud. It's very strange, I'll admit, but I think a lot of this can be a reaction to stress. But I don't know, you'll have to think about that. Hope it's just the horror movies. my name sucks Posted at 11:20 am on Aug. 26, 2008 happens to me too, but fairly randomly, just sometimes get this feeling that someones there when really your alone. I'd say its fairly normal, maybe you should just leave a lamp on or something so you can see that no ones there. RIMHfire Posted at 11:07 am on Aug. 26, 2008 Yeah, we suffer from over-active imaginations. Don't worry, I get like that occasionally, but I always have the covers up to my ears. breannafhchick06 Posted at 11:07 am on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from audrey820 at 2:04 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Black Sheep at 2:03 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 you've seen too many horror movies.    i used to run and jump onto my bed from a distance because i thought a hand would come out from under my bed and grab my leg.

I think it is an over active imaignation, just try to have a reality check when you start imagining things. Infact try turning on the light or looking to where the supposed dead person is and then you can convince yourself gradually that there's never anything there and it's your imagination. I did that and I'm not really able to freak myself out anymore. Give it a go.
