Disappearing Toy Soldier and Night Figures at Home

I remember as a kid playing with a toy soldier, a fairly big one, I put it somewhere, turned away, and when I turned back, I realized it had disappeared.
A couple of days later I was sitting playing in another room, almost right up against the wall with my back, when suddenly something hit me in the back, like someone had thrown it. I turn around and see my soldier. There were no pets at home that could have dragged the soldier away. To this day I have no clue what that was.
Also, there were two strange incidents, very similar to sleep paralysis. The first time I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a man standing by the window with his back to me. Only a black silhouette was visible. There was no feeling of paralysis or any crap with breathing, it seems. I just fell asleep somehow. (It definitely couldn't have been one of my relatives, the figure was too slim). The second incident happened in a country house. I wake up in the middle of the night because someone was stomping on the veranda. (The veranda was separated from the room I was sleeping in by a closed door). Then I heard a hoarse male chuckle (only me and my mom were in the house) and footsteps heading toward that very door of my room. I got scared shitless and closed my eyes, hoping that the NEH would think I was asleep. Anon, those half a minute were horrible, I heard the footsteps and my heart beating. I heard the door creak and realized it was looking at me. I tried with all my might not to open my eyes or breathe heavily. There was another chuckle, and for some reason I opened my eyes. And nothing, anon. The door was closed, but it clearly seemed to me that someone had just been standing in the middle of the room, but disappeared as soon as I opened my eyes.
That's how it is, anon.
