When I was little, the boogeyman myth hiding in the closet scared the crap out of me. The scariest thing that happened to me now is I thought I saw a mysterious shadow in the night before I was about to go to sleep. It was dark all over. The only lights came from the outside street lights coming in through the windows. I had just finished using the restroom when I thought I heard something from the hallway. I turned really fast and swear I saw a shadow of some sort flashing by. Then it was gone.
I thought I was imagining things since I was so tired so I just went to bed. I could hear ruffling sounds while I was awake, but it couldn't have been from inside the house. THe doors and windows were locked. I should know because I checked them before going to bed. I assumed it was a stray cat, or our neighborhood stray dog wandering the streets at night. Then I fell asleep...
