Things That Go Bump In The Night....

[staropeace]

What scares you if alone in the night? I am usually quite comfortable being alone but when there are B & E crimes close to my place, I get really cautious and somewhat freaked. I am a skeptic but I would not stay in a so-called haunted house by myself in the night. I do not believe in ghosts, but I know my own imagination would scare me silly.

Mine would be if my house alarm would go off when I am home alone and I am upstairs. it also scares me a bit if I know a crime has taken place close to our home. A pizza man was shot and robbed a couple miles from our house. There is gang activity in our town sometimes. its things like that that scare the cramp out of me. Over active mind.

 

[staropeace]

Yeah, we had a murder and a stabbing not far from where I am last night....they think gang.

 

[FlakeNoir]

Scary stuff you guys.

 

[staropeace]

Real life is very scary. I freak myself out when I go into my garage in the night. Not so bad going in there but leaving it, I tend to run like the hounds of hell were after me.

 

[MadamMack]

I have weapons hidden all over my house and in my vehicles.

If somebody came up in here thinking they were going to rob or hurt me they'd try to get out damn fast. I would aim to kill.

Now my yard is full of the fluffy white stuff. It looks like a currier and ives collector plate. Bad folks would have to wade through the snow and get their bojangles frozen off if they wanted to mess with me. Winter has it's high points. Vampires get bored. Banchees get restless. Ghosts get frozen. Life is good.

I feel a little wobbly at night if my cats wake up suddenly on high alert from a deep sleep, or if my dogs go nutso if they hear someone/or thing moving about outside.

If I'm alone I'm imagining all manner of death and destruction happening to those who are not with me...imagining the phone ringing, voices talking, fingers pointing.

There was this once though, here I am, alone in the kitchen...reading or typing and I glance off to my left...something must have caught my eye and I felt the need to turn to look. So that's what I did...I turned and looked. It's dark outside, right, the fluorescent kitchen lights are reflected in the breakfast nook windows. I'm looking out there now trying to refresh my memory...and it is even blacker now than that night. Although it is dark, was dark that night...I could make out the back wall of the garage...maybe we had some moonlight...or starlight...as it was brighter that night. Saw a face looking at me...or peaking at me around the back wall of the garage. Big. Not like it was human or anything like that...oh no...this face was big. Disembodied, too. I think I did one of those comical double-takes we've all seen...squinted...looked...gave me the heebie jeebies is what it did. Looked a tad like this:

Spoiler

...no, really, just the head and he wasn't smiling...I assume it was a he...

...the dead don't concern me...the living scare the crap outta me...so voices or movement in my house or around it that I don't recognize-is liable to get met with the threat of hot lead...and the need if necessary...

It kills all the wee beasties too (as Mom called them) - you know bugs and such - I am glad I do not like in a tropical country

Being a ghost hunter is all good, (when I go looking for ghosts) but when it's time to go home and the idea that they may have tagged along for the ride bothers me. My cat has freaked out about three times after an investigation. She goes from being a the mellowist cat ever that is friendly to strangers, I can hold her upside down by her back legs and she would just hang there with complete trust with no concerns =P into hissing, growling, tail bushed out, following something I can't see around the house. Jumps at the slightest provocation. I have had her for four years, she has only done this three times. Each time was after an investigation. THAT is when I get a little spooked.

 

[CYRUS]

Sometimes when Im alone at night I start to think about all the scary books and movies that I've read. Then my imagination takes over.

 

[Doc Creed]

I'm with GNTLGNT and MadamMack. I'm not afraid of being alone at night. I have a gun.

I'm with you'll. "I aim with my eye...."

 

[arista]

There are many real life monsters that make the monsters in stories look a lot better.

Tonsillitis used to give me nightmares as a child. Strange, horrific dreams. I no longer remember anything specific, but I do remember they were really BAD.
