They resemble ticks, which are hard to squish and usually full of blood. They also look a lot like head lice, but they typically are hard to catch, so I doubt that is what it is.

Dust mites? Spider beetles? And, bed bugs like blood as a food source, so if you squeeze them, blood WILL come out.

bird bugs and bat bugs can sometimes find their way inside a home if the host animals are nesting in the attic / soffet area.
