Sensing And Seeing But Can't Communicate

I'm not too sure where to start, but I guess everyone starts somewhere. When I was 20 I started sensing the feeling of presences around me. As if hovering and watching, trying to get my attention. My first experience was in my very first apartment, which was in an old house in Louisville. I clearly remember standing in the bedroom (that would become mine) with my roommate and landlord as we did a walk through. A feeling came over me that stunned me. I felt chilled, even though it was summer, and felt the hairs stand up on my arms and neck. My stomach dropped as if on a roller coaster and my knees went weak. I felt a pressure throughout my entire body and thought for a moment I was going to be sick. I remember feeling terrified because I knew there was a presence there and I couldn't see it, but knew with every fiber in my being it was there. For the next 6 months I lived at that residence I experienced paranormal activity (which I will share on the related ghost story page). Eventually the presences showed themselves, one as a white misty figure, the other a dark shadow figure. They seemed to target me more than my room mate and I always wondered if it was because I had some kind of ability to sense them. I always felt frustrated that I couldn't communicate with them. Though they showed themselves, they didn't speak or communicate. I wanted to know why they were there still, why I could sense and see them, and if I could do anything to help them. If I had the ability to help them, but just didn't know how. Twelve years later, I still wonder that. Eventually the activity of the entities became too much and I moved, but the feeling I felt in that bedroom that day still occurs when I sense a presence somewhere. Most frequently it's the feeling of going weak in the knees and my stomach dropping and feeling like someone is near me. For whatever reason, it seems like I attract these energies wish I knew how communicate with what is around me. There has to be a reason they're coming to me, and I want to know why and what I can do, but I feel stuck, and afraid.
