My sister has had a fair few experiences. Not me, alas, although I can't say I'm too concerned about that!
She seems to attract this stuff, although shows no interest in the paranormal or spooks whatsoever. At the age of 50 now, she seems to just take it in her stride, but then she is a very 'dark' kind of person: not in the creative sense, but just rather pessimistic and troubled.

Here are a few snippets....

She began working as a care nurse in a rest home (is that the right word?), basically, where people quite frequently pass away. I know that her job involved preparing the dealing with the deceased shortly after them passing on (washing, dressing,etc).

Some of the elderly residents used to tell her that a group of 'people' were attached to her everywhere she went. It gave her the creeps pretty bad.
Not sure if she somehow picked them up at the home, but her issues kicked in after work, and even on a holiday to the Lake district. At 3am or so she would wake up for no apparent reason and sense something in the room with her. After a few mins she felt someone tucking her in, as if trying to comfort her. I thought that this happening at home and on holiday was downright weird!

Over time, the waking in the night took its toll, to the point where she began to develop insomnia. The clock would always read the same hour, and the sense of something with her continued. Sadly the feelings grew worse, oppressive, with the comforting 'hands' becoming more intrusive, like trying to lift her, etc. She also reported feeling the bed move on a few occasions. The worst was when she actually saw someone open the bedroom door and only half step into the room - she said they wore pajamas and held a sort of walking frame or stick.

I remember thinking it had to have something to do with the care home when I heard this.

After she left there, she went to work in a home for young, brain damaged people and the issue abruptly stopped.

Whether this was an unconscious response to a job that she wasn't happy with, or an actual haunting I doubt we'll ever know. It made me feel really dark for a while, this idea that a bunch of lost souls were attached to her, even following her around like that.

She was disturbed by it, by way of it affecting her sleep and her energy levels, but not particularly scared. I would have gone utterly loopy with fear if that had been me.
