The Finger

My name is Natasha, and I have an interesting story to tell. So a long time ago when I was probably 10 years old, I had a couple really weird experiences, and even though it happened a long time ago, I remember them like it was yesterday.

So ever since I was little I had never liked sleeping in the dark alone. I always thought I would see shadows in my room. So it was one particular night that the weird experience happened for the first time. I was sleeping and dreaming soundly, when suddenly I woke up feeling a strange pressure in my back. It felt like someone was using their finger and pushing up into my spine. Immediately I would scream and try to get out the door. But as soon as I was out into the hall of the house, everything would go black.

This happened one other time probably 2 years later. I remember half dreaming but sort of being half awake at the same time. I was dreaming about some kind of shadow being. The shadow was lurking across the brick walls of a building, following me. As soon as it caught up to me in my dream, the frightening object would press hard into my back. As I was waking up feeling the "finger" in my back, I saw a weird shadow go across my ceiling. I was frozen stiff, not knowing what to do. When I finally got the courage to sit up in bed, I looked down on my bed to see if there was anything there that could have poked my back. There was nothing except for a strange small hallow bump in the sheets as if someone had stuck their finger in the sheets then had moved it. I still to this day have no idea what the weird pressure was, but every night that I do dream about shadows, I force myself to wake up, deathly afraid that I would feel the finger pressure again... If anyone has any idea what it could have been, please respond, thank you!
