Is this happening to just me? Does this happen to other people?

I get woken up all of a sudden in the middle of the night every day. I feel like someone is watching me.I am very scared because of this.

Turn off your cell phone and any of those amazon listening devices. Also put black tape over any cameras on your laptop or computers. It is very possible someone is actually watching.
You can also buy a camera detector off Amazon to scan your room and search for hidden cameras.
If it is a demon though, none of that will help, best option is to just prepare yourself for breeding. (I think I saw that in a movie once)

@JamesBugman I am still trying to decide if you being serious or humorous!

If your computer is off so is its camera - if it has one, of course. If you really are worried about it, you don't bother about black tape. You simply turn it off and you don't have it in the bedroom. Same with any gadget like an Alexa or Siri - though why anyone even buys those eavesdroppers, beats me.

What makes you imagine there may be a hidden camera in Kalifan's bedroom anyway? There might be a camera in the room in Peking or Moscow, but otherwise all you are likely to do there is make the poor lady even more anxious.

A camera detector seems like a whizzo wheeze to keep Jeff Bezos in the style to which he is accustomed, rather than for any genuine purpose.


"A demon"? And only thinking you once saw one in a film? Ah, clearly you are being humorous...!
@ArishMell I was sort of joking, but I did have a couple instances for real.
One is some hacker who emails me every six months wanting bitcoins or he is going to show the video he captured to my family. Unfortunately for him he has no idea who I am or where I live, he only has that one email address, but it was clearly taken from my laptop camera when I was walking around semi-dressed (I saw the video). Nothing really incriminating in the video anyways, so I just delete his correspondence.
Another one is that I was using my cell phone as my alarm clock for work, and several times I woke up to noises coming from it. I think someone had access to it which lets them listen to me snoring and then can make noises to spoil my sleep. Why that is fun for someone is a mystery. I turned cell phone off at night and that issue went away.
The demon thing is kinda hot to me, so I included it.

@JamesBugman I'd know straight away any attempt to blackmaill me in the same way would be absurd because a) I don't make videos of myself, b) my phone is not connected to the internet and there is no camera on my computer, and c) as you say these people do not really know who you are, where you live and who are your friends and relations!

I receive other types of criminal e-mail and always report, block and delete them.

For anyone to have such access to your 'phone like that means it would be switched on and transmitting to that person. More likely it was some sort of electrical interference. Odd though - does it make strange noises at other times.

Charles Dickens was before you with the electronics and the supernatural - his ghost-story The Signalman was bang up-to-date in its time with it using the railway's telegraph system!
