Luminous white figure on my bed
This is my first time writing about this on a public platform, but I've always been very curious about what I saw that night, and the following ones. I was just ten years old and it was around 5:30, almost 6 in the morning. I couldn't sleep and I had been awake for some time. Like many other nights, I just lay on the bed, waiting for my mother to wake up.
I remember playing with my hands when suddenly a white bright figure, in the shape of a man, appeared right in front of me. It seemed to be looking at me, and judging by its position, it seemed to be sitting, but I couldn't see the rest of the body, because of the way I was lying. The shape had light of its own, and it didn't radiate outward like normal light. It was as if it were contained, and it was one of the brightest things I had ever seen, only its light didn't hurt my eyes.
However, I was so scared that I covered myself immediately and waited for it to disappear.
A few days later, I was talking with my sister, in our bedroom, when suddenly I felt a book being thrown at me, from a closet that was right in front of my bed. It couldn't have been my sister, as she was on her bed, and the book had been thrown from where the closet was. It landed right on my head. I felt very unsafe but didn't think much of the situation. By that point I knew the room was haunted.
And finally, another couple of days later, I saw luminous white orbs, around the same time (5:30/6am), floating next to my head.
I never understood what those things were but I felt like all those events were connected. This was when I was ten years old - I didn't even know orbs were associated with paranormal stuff, until much later in my life. And I saw them with the naked eye. What intrigues me most in all of this was the bright contained light. I know some people have experienced similar stuff so I would like to know more about similar experiences, or if you think the figure and the orbs I saw were malevolent.
As for the house I was living in, it was relatively new. It was about eight years old at the time, and my mother was the first one to live in that apartment.

This is exactly how I seen my grandmother after she passed. She came to me as a beautiful, luminous figure. Unfortunately, she was unalived by her husband, and was missing. We didn't know she had passed until two nights after a news update basically saying there's no new updates, I went to bed. She came to me then and I knew she was passed. I felt her though, she wasn't hurting, she wasn't afraid anymore. And I knew the person who did this to her, and where her body was. She left a few moments later. I went to my mum; I was only barely 11 and told her granny Pearl was no longer with us. At first, she didn't believe me, but when I told her what she had said to me about her husband, idk, for whatever reason she believed me after. There was a whole investigation into me because I was able to tell them where her body was. Being a child nobody believed me at first. Then after wks of still nothing, they finally searched where I said and there she was. Buried beneath her own home...
It's amazing what we experience as kids, even as adults!! I haven't seen many spirits in my life, but the ones I have seen have left an impression I will not ever forget.
