    He just turned 5.

    I think he probably has the same type of dreams I have, where it looks and feels like things are happening in the room you're in. I can watch any horror movie in any situation and sleep like a baby. I can have a dream that a pack of wolves are hunting me and laugh it off. But when I have a dream that a person is approaching the bed, and I feel like I'm awake, it's pretty terrifying. I suspect he has the same thing. So he probably sees a dark shadowy figure approaching him and calls it "the black"

    I was convinced the guys from Home Alone were hiding under my bed every night. But it wasn't a fear like you guys are talking about, it was more like ":emoji_rolling_eyes: This shit again? Didn't Macaulay teach you your lesson?"

    I do remember having nightmares and waking up bawling, or simply laying there silently crying with anxiety, because I thought my dad died, so that was fun. I like the Home Alone annoyance story better.

    The Hat Man/shadow people are a pretty common visual hallucination! I have no idea what causes it, though, probably similar to sleep paralysis when you're awake but your brain is still dreaming or something? I'm not an expert, sorry, but there's plenty of people who've had similar hallucinations so it's not that abnormal.

    At this point in my life I sleep in a room attached to the house, but not connected by a door internally. If I have to go to the bathroom or make food and it's dark, I walk outside at the darkest parts of night sometimes. I've been pretty steeled against it from years of having to do it.

    Admittedly, I don't watch scary movies or do much scary reading. When I do read scary stuff... it's a bit more harrowing.

    I love me some urban legends. That one is creepy!

    Of course, I love learning about serial killers so....I love all creepy stuff.

    Unless I'm in bed. Then it's covers on, all limbs on mattress and accounted for, furry friends surrounding me, and years worth of crap and dust bunnies under my bed for protection.

    (And that spray bottle that I say is for the cat? Well. It's possible it's Monster Spray.)

    Once a year, holy cow... The amount of consistency in scraping you'd have to do to nail it over a year is daunting.

    Urban legends are super cool, I just have to be sure not to read any before bedtime or I'll get myself spooked that there's someone climbing on the outside of my house and peeking into my windows.

    I lived in West Marin County in a shack that was about 30 feet from the main house. If I needed anything after dark I had to make my way through the forest in the dark.

    Scariest parts?

    The effing raccoons. They are no damn joke. They will rip your face off.
