I can't believe no one said the things under the bed, or the things looking in through the window. On the rare occasion that I'm home alone I still jump several feet to get into bed. Yes I'm too old for this but it's the truth.

I bet you turn the lights off and take 3 steps at a time up the stairs to stop the shadow person from catching you. /s

Also someone looking in the window??

I mean, there's not anyone outside the window. But the idea that something could be out there without my knowing? It's a feeling of not being secure and makes me jumpy.
