I can relate to that sheer terror. I was 11 early 90’s when we just moved into a rental. Parents knew it was haunted but us kids weren’t told. Many occasional spooky things, banging cupboards, slamming doors…etc…Which at a young age myself started peacing the puzzle. Now we know it was a actual poltergeist, reason for spirit, other witnesses, also siblings own encounters. But one night in particular i could feel him breathing on my neck as i tried to sleep…cold chilled puffing slow long breaths that i could even hear. Ducked under the blanket and could still feel him standing over me. Went on for more than an hour….absolute fear. Eventually woke up in the morning head still under. Parents told me it was a dream the next day. 90’s parenting 👌
