Boo!

Things I am A'scared of:

Children's Laughter in a Scary Movie
Is there anything scarier? The sound of naughty kids laughing-yikes!!! Evil little sprites....knowing more than you...they're small and you think you can take them..but they float.

Killer Bees
Where are they? I spent a good chunk of my youth in the late 70s dreading their arrival..having escape plans...discussing with my friends....

Spirits Sleeping at the End of my Bed
When we were wee bairns the crossing guard lady Mrs. Mahieu told us her friend awoke in the middle of the night to find a spirit sleeping at the end of her bed. This story kept us up for years and was the key story we told to friends to prove ghosts really do exist. We would ask each other what we would do if WE saw a spirit sleeping at the end of our bed....

Never questioned WHY a spirit who is DEAD would need to sleep....should have figured something was fishy....Mrs. Mahieu had no teeth.....

The Wind
Wind is really scary....ooooooooooo...the way it moans through trees....the way it makes my hair fly into my eyes..why is it blinding me? What does it not want me to see? oh evil wind..I am on to you...

Angry Drunks
There is nothing an angry drunk won't do. They are very easy to piss off (I've pissed off tons of them) and they will fight anyone, holler at anyone and I have even seen one peeing in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street....

Marionette Dolls
You cannot tell me that these horrible creatures do not come alive at night. You just hear a light 'click click clack' as it scurries from room to room-looking for a pair of sharp scissors....these dolls are evil. They have bizarre faces and the strings! The STRINGS! Remember that 'Scooby Doo' episode with the marionettes? And the old man who controlled them? and then HE turned out to be a marionette!!!! I think that ruined marionettes for me for life.

Big Crowds
You know when you are in the centre of a big crowd you are just one crazy person away from being trampled to death? It just takes one person to start hollering and charging to get the whole herd fired up. Unless you are really tall or really wide I would avoid crowds at all costs..oh..I also hate people so I think that has something to do with my fear of crowds.

Having the Window Shade Up at Night
Unless you can guarantee that a spooky creature will NOT be hovering outside my window I will always keep my blinds down. Remember that movie 'Salem's Lot'? Remember that kid floating at the window...beckoning his brother to let him in??

I don't know about all the things out there in the night and that's the way I like it....yeah I know it's usually just a raccoon digging through our green bin or two cats getting it on but I will not look outside in fear that it will be a vampire pleading to come in
