The Spirit.

My bedroom used to be two different rooms, but somebody tore down the wall between them and made an arch, creating a single room. In one part of my room, I used to have this container full of toy horses. One of them neighed if you pushed back its head. One day, when I was younger, I was playing dolls with one of my friends in the other part of the room. We were picking out our dolls' outfits when we heard the unmistakable neighing of that one horse. When we looked over, there was nobody there. We shrugged it off and kept playing. A few weeks later, and the same thing happened again. A friend and I would be playing, the horse would neigh, and each time I would forget about it. Until that winter night. It was cold, and I was having trouble falling asleep. Again, I heard the neighing of that toy horse. I practically lept a foot out of my bed. I turned on the lights and looked over there, but once again, nothing. I turned off the lights and went back to bed, trying to go to sleep. I was cold, in a fetal position shivering in my bed. Then, right before I drifted off to sleep, I heard a faint rustling noise, and I felt an extra blanket being put over me. That was the last time that whatever it was made any sort of contact with me, at least until a few nights ago. I was sitting in my bed, reading, when I dropped my book. I hadn't marked my page, so I have to find it all over again. Then, right before my eyes, I saw the pages of the book flipping, right to where I left off. I picked it up, thoroughly creeped out, and kept reading. But just because it doesn't make contact me doesn't mean it isn't THERE, watching me. Sometimes, when I pace around my bedroom, I feel as if there's something looking at me. Something that I just barely can't see. If I don't concentrate when I feel the thing staring at me, I see something in my peripheral vision. I can't quite describe it, it's just kinda a blue 3D shadow. Is it real, or is this just my imagination? Is there really a spirit haunting me, watching my every move, floating around just outside my line of vision?
