Fear Of The Dark.

I believe that anyone at least once in their lives could say that they were afraid of the dark. Especially as a child, for the most different reasons.
It happened to me too...
I remember that more than once I had the feeling of someone being over my bed watching me... Another time I felt someone or something touching my cheeck.
This happened when I was reaaly young, probably 5 or 6.

Then I was around 9 or 10 and I remember being home alone, it was a winter afternoon and it was already dark. I was studying and my neighbor (who was fixing my bike) called me saying that it was ready, so, thinking that I needed only a few minutes, I did not even thought of turning off the light of my bedroom...
I went to pick up my bike and I started going around the garage area from which I could see my room (with the light on).
While I was riding the bike, I noticed that at a certain point the light was off and I thought that my dad had probably arrived home and switched it off.
I came back home and the door was unlocked (as I left it), the house was pitched black because the light was off and no-one was there...
Who switched the light off??? It was working when I went to light it again, so it was not a defected bulb.

I was a teenager and again, my bedroom is the scene of what follows:
My dad was used to come in my bedroom (shared with my sister) and wake us up to go to school. That morning I woke up and I hear my sister talking to my dad asking him: "Dad, did you come and talk to him last night?" The answer was "No".
Later on she told me that she saw a figure in the dark talking to me whispering, and that I was answering that "figure" as well.
What was that? I am still scared and wondering about it today.
