I had a very frightening thing happen several times when I was about 4 years old. At the time, we rented a home in upstate N.Y., across from a cemetery. I was lying in bed, lights out...I opened my eyes and saw a figure come out from behind the closet door!!!!!!
To this day, I can picture him. He was all black, no facial features, thin, with like a pointy chin! Now, he would remind me of an alien or a devil face!!!
He came over to me and tickled my ribs reallllly painfully!!!! I remember saying, "Please stop". This happened several times!! I told my Mom and she said, "Oh, honey, you were dreaming'. NO I WASN'T, EITHER!!!!!! Now, when the lights go out for bed, I DO NOT look around!!!!!!!!
