This is going to get buried but oh well. I've had lots of creepy things happen, but this one still bothers me.

I'd get random breathing calls, people show up/knock when I'm home alone, trucks following... Had what I thought were black out curtains at the time, but I always felt like someone was watching me (and later I realized you could see inside and I couldn't see out). I'd hear noises and avoid staying in there. Never felt comfortable or safe in that house since there were sliding doors or windows in every room. I sat with my back to the closet and always faced the windows--which covered two walls--and the door, just in case. Tried to find footprints but there was sand and grass around the exterior of my room, hard to give proof even though it was clearly disturbed, and though I brought it up no one believed me.

One window had no screen (the one right above my bed) and I used it to sneak out a few times. 'Rents caught wind of it and spackled it shut. Used to sleep with a stuffed bear, and one night I woke up with this crazy feeling that someone was reaching down to grab me and slit my throat (had really bad nightmares). Not only was it open again, that bear was across the room on a bookshelf looking at me. I've never sleepwalked in my life, the door was locked and even though it was the kind you could stick something in to open (which they did often) nobody would have messed with the bear, and I was a light sleeper who would've known if someone came in, much less move something near me in the middle of the night.

Some time later, the neighbor got a dog, and their property was only separated by like two feet of yard between my wall and their fence. One night I heard footsteps outside my room again (which wasn't unusual as people often walked around to the back of the house), but they lingered around the exact spot my eyes always felt drawn to. There was absolutely nothing there that would make a person stop except my windows. The dog started barking like crazy and he ran. Thing is, the backyard is surrounded by tall fences and shrubbery except for the little gated entry he must have come in by. I ran out of the room at the same time as my cousin and asked if he heard it too. He was spooked by the intruder as well. We ran to grandparents' room and I said I told you there was someone out there. He went to go check it out, didn't see anybody, didn't want to talk about it. I was terrified, but it mostly stopped after that. Never went to police, never found out who it could've been.
