A few years ago when I was younger, I used to stay at my dad’s house a lot. During this time, I used to sleep on the sofa a lot and my sleep schedule was awful. If I had to guess I would say I committed to just falling asleep every night on the sofa maybe for almost an entire year. The only people in the house was me, my brother who at the time was no less than 4 or 5 years old, and my dad. My dad’s house was pretty big especially the downstairs and the area itself was pretty sketchy but none of this bothered me as I spent every night staying awake watching TV and playing video games until I fell asleep on the sofa from exhaustion. Nothing out of the ordinary ever really happened from what I can remember while being alone downstairs apart from one night which really messed with my head.

I was doing my usual watching TV into the late hours of the night, my dad and brother slept in the same bed upstairs and they were both already fast asleep. There was a sofa and a chair in the living room and on the back of the chair was a pile of blankets that were placed perfectly on top of each other , I also had a laptop that I would use to death while I was watching TV, I remember that night I was getting so tired that I slouched down into the sofa, still with my laptop screen and the TV turned on in front of me. I fell asleep soon after that, I woke up feeling confused as when I finally opened my eyes, one of the blankets from the back of the chair was neatly placed on top of me, I turned my head to where my laptop was, or where my laptop should’ve been. There was a coffee table that separated the TV and sofa from itself, I looked down at the table and saw that my laptop was also very neatly closed and placed perfectly under the coffee table. The TV was turned off and the remote was again, just like everything else, perfectly placed where it belongs. I remember feeling confused and displaced as I know for a fact that I didn’t do anything of this at all, I didn’t really think much of it though for long as I just told myself that my dad must’ve came down in the night and done it all, surely right?

Anyway, my dad eventually comes downstairs with my brother and I ask him if he did this, he looked at me confused and said no. I thought maybe he was playing a joke on me as he was the type to do that but the look on his face told me that he had no idea what I was talking about. My mind felt scattered, my brother couldn’t have done it as he was only 4 and everything was so perfectly done, it wouldn’t have been him at all. I started to get scared at the prospect of the entire thing, did I sleepwalk and do it myself? I tried to convince myself that it must’ve been me sleep walking but it was still strange as I’ve never sleepwalked at all before and why would I put back everything where it belongs and get the blanket? And why was everything so perfectly done? Especially the fact that there was no indication that the second blanket was taken from the rest of the pile at all, if it was me; I would’ve been sure that I would’ve left a bit of a mess behind. I’ve heard of people sleepwalking and getting food but this just wasn’t like me at all. I would say I’m quite a deep sleeper apart from when someone touches me in my sleep, I’ve always been like that and I always immediately wake up. Wouldn’t I have woken up if I felt a blanket being placed upon me?

This continued to bother me for weeks on end and even when I returned to my dad’s house. I started sleeping upstairs in my actual bed again because of how freaked out I was. I did tell other people about the incident but I just laughed it off with them but even they were freaked out about it which just made me feel worse. I started thinking about maybe it was a ghost and I do believe in paranormal activity and the supernatural but I’ve never really taken it seriously.

Still to this day, I can’t think of a logical explanation that would make complete sense of what actually happened while I was asleep…
