#7. Wrong House, Drunky

“It was around 2002 I had just married my wife and we had just had our first baby. Bedroom door opened up and hit my wifes side of the bed. Guess she went to get up for the baby in the middle of the night. she went to get out of bed and when she put her feet down on the floor she felt a body. She reached down and lifted a arm. She thought it was me on the floor at first then she reached over and i was asleep in bed. She started screaming i woke up. the guy passed out on our floor woke up. i chased him out of the house with a knife. Basically some drunk came in our house and passed out on our floor without our knowledge in the middle of the night. Totally fucked up.”

#8. Don’t Go In The Wall

“Our son at the age of three would wake up screaming in the middle of the night almost every night because ‘he didn’t want to go in the wall.’

Hes almost 5 now and the last thing he says to my wife and I before bed is ‘dont go in the wall’.

He doesn’t wake up crying about it anymore though. Creepy.”

#9. I Hate Pianos

“When I lived with my Mother I had a room in the basement of our two story house. My Mom has always played piano and we had an older grand piano in our living room and the way it was set up you had to walk right past the piano to get to the bathroom So, late on night everyone else is asleep and I need to use the bathroom so I make the journey upstairs and just as I am passing the piano it makes a loud CLANG like someone banged on a bunch of the keys all at once…the lid to the keys was closed. I was genuinely freaked out and sat in the bathroom long after I was finished, frightened to walk passed the piano, just as I got my courage up another CLANG occurred before I even opened the bathroom door. I finally just burst out of the door and ran back to my room.

I hate pianos.”

#10. I Will Just Stay Here Until Forever Now

“When I was 12 my mother was in school to become a hair-stylist. She was given three highly realistic heads with synthetic hair to practice on. I mean, very real, down the the detailed colours of the irises in their eyes. One evening after I had gone to bed she attached them to the upstairs banister so as to not forget them to next morning. As I came upstairs to pee in the middle of the night, there stood at just below my height the dark silhouettes of THREE FUCKING PEOPLE STARING AT ME. Beyond logic, I jumped into the nook where we kept our shoes. ‘I will just stay here until forever now,’ I thought as my heart tried to beat me to death.”

#11. Fucking Elmo

“I was walking down my hallway at 2 in the morning one night to get a glass of water. Right when I turn the corner a fucking Elmo toy starts asking me to play with it. Scared the living shit out of me.”
