Nightmares are not pleasant, let me tell you. But I am a big boy, so keep on writing, even if it is scary. I need to train myself to read and think about and see scary stuff and NOT have a nightmare. I think it can be done.MikeBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-44888139486215865022011-05-23T16:58:57.590-07:002011-05-23T16:58:57.590-07:00Thanks everyone for weighing in with your comments...Thanks everyone for weighing in with your comments. MikeB, I think the things that go bump in the night are directly affected by our stress factor. I'm sorry you had a nightmare; I probably won't be posting anymore scary things for awhile! So you're safe here! And Peyton, I hope that lamp didn't hit you back!Debbie Lamedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595138309818406148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-54049031022115818932011-05-23T16:45:51.537-07:002011-05-23T16:45:51.537-07:00OMG, Peyton.

Those torchiere lamps are not cheap.

Actually, I think it was a coincidence. Keep on posting your interesting stuff, even if it is scary, and I will keep reading it.MikeBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-28815484885421214052011-05-23T13:50:34.907-07:002011-05-23T13:50:34.907-07:00Heh, sounds like an incident I had awhile back whi...Heh, sounds like an incident I had awhile back while in the throes of a nasty fever. Was watching the movie, "Signs," then passed out cold afterwards due to the flu. At some point I reawakened and imagined I saw one of the aliens from the movie in my room. In a haze, I immediately jumped out of bed and proceeded to kick the shit out of it. Satisfied that the "alien" was dead, or at least, disabled, I carefully inspected the body whereupon I discovered that I had decapitated the halogen torchiere lamp.POBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168672563971905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-35466307825172097592011-05-23T13:30:33.108-07:002011-05-23T13:30:33.108-07:00Great post!

I got scared reading it! <br /><br />I have seen a somewhat circular mass of dull red light hover to my right near the foot of my bed and move slowly towards me (while I was awake). It happened a couple of times in the several months after my father-in-law died.<br /><br />After my brother-in-law died recenlty, I saw an shadowy figure in my bedroom (again, I was awake). <br /><br />And finally, on quite a few nights, I think there is someone standing in the little hallway that leads from our dressing area to our bedroom. It always turns out to be the shape formed by the confluence of the picture on the hallway wall and the light and dark hues in the hallway produced by the street lights outside our house. But it still spooks me every time, even though my prior experiences with this shape tell me that I should not be concerned.<br /><br />I hope I don't have a nightmare tonight.MikeBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-35587324580408933502011-05-22T19:08:49.173-07:002011-05-22T19:08:49.173-07:00Gees that would frighten the day lights our of me....Gees that would frighten the day lights our of me.....glad to know that it was 'just' the lights......
