Me and my best friend have both experienced this. It only happens to either us a few times a year, or in chunks(like for a few nights in a row for a week or something and then not again until like 8 months later).

I'll either be lying in bed awake, or something will wake me up. Either way it will be like 2-4 in the morning.
Then I'll just get this feeling that someone is watching me, and that the person is drawing nearer, but nobody is there(obviously).
I react physically too, my ears start ringing really loudly. In the worst cases I'll kind of freeze up and start sweating, sometimes even start shaking. I can sometimes see a whitish glow through my squeezed-closed eyelids, but if I open my eyes, nothing is there.
Once or twice I think I have even heard AND felt the presence breathing on me.

Have you ever had anything like it?

If there's nothing there, it's just me being paranoid.

Yes.

Sleep paralysis could also explain some of the experiences immediately after waking.

Odd that these only happen when you are half asleep and naturally in your most paranoid and suggestible state.

  A cynic might suggest that your brain is playing tricks on you.


 

 They sometimes happen to me when I'm 100% awake.



And yet always lying in bed. Day dreaming, if not truly dreaming. If you let your mind wander it will often take you somewhere stupid.
