When I was about 4 years old, I was staying at my parent's friends house. They had a daughter about my age who was bigger, stronger, meaner and a lot tougher than me. I was staying the night and she told me the Incredible Hulk was under my bed and would grab my ankle when I got up. Well, I lay there terrified.
After that, whenever I went to bed, I'd have to jump from a distance into bed... or I'd make sure if we moved into a new house my bed was by the light switch so I could be in bed when the light went out and nothing could get me from under the bed.
I even still find myself leaping into bed sometimes to avoid the monsters from beneath.
Anyhow, I was about 8 when I first heard this story and about 16 when I heard it with the added dimension of "licking".
I am sure IF it was that story and not the Hulk story I'd heard at 4, I'd never have slept again.

Anyhow, here goes.

Heh Mak, it's weird what scares you when you're younger. Besides that Hulk story, our teacher read us Roald Dahl's The Witches when we were 7... there's a part at the start when the boy's Grandad describes the time he saw a witch and stayed in his treehut or something hiding. It absolutely terrified me!

I later read an article on Roald Dahl and he said that part of the story was from a story HIS Grandad had told him about a scary childhood incidence.

When I was younger I saw something behind me in the bathroom mirror. It wore a black cloak covering its entire body and head. It was short with blackness for a face. It was heading out of my parent's room and into the hallway. Then it stopped and began to turn its head to look at me. I watched it and feared it, I remember thinking "God make it go away. Please make it go away." I was watching through the mirror so I finally decided to turn around as its face was almost visible..... And it was gone! Scariest thing that ever happened to me, thats right, it was really did happen. And no I'm not crazy.

When my family first moved to Texas we rented a house off a old couple who lived next door. The door to my bedroom looked into the livingroom and from my bed I could see the couch. When I was five I would wake up every night in the middle of the night and when I looked out into the living room I can remember seeing a outline of a man sitting cross legged on the couch smoking a cigar. He wore a old fedora style hat and when he puffed on the cigar it gave off no light at all,but I could see the smoke coming off it. I was so scared of him that my mom finally moved my bed to another part of the room. I never saw him again.

When I got older and moved out of my parents house I came home one Christmas and my mom and me sat up one night a talked about strange things that happend to us. She had a similar expirence with the shadow man when she was pregnant with me. She said one night she woke up with a man dressed like the one I described earlier sitting on her bed holding her wrists down and he leaned real close but she couldnt see his face even though he was in the light from the kitchen. She said he finally got up and walked out of the room and disappeared in the kitchen. Her story happened in West Virginia and mine was in Texas. We dont talk about it anymore cause she thinks it was some one evil. This is a true story and I would swear to it on a stack of bibles.

Mark Stone, if you've ever seen the original Halloween, When a Stranger Calls is the same thing as that.
Charlie that's incredibly weird.
I've got a wierd story:
I was with my friends at a summer camp one year. it was a sleep away camping trip so we slept in these really cool cabins. So i was siting in my bed talking with my friends and one of the consilors came in and said they saw an owl. So we went out in the middle of the night trying to see this owl. They gathered the campers in this one spot asking ot take a picture. They did and people started screaming. I looked up in the tree as the dude took another picture and saw this body hanging from a tree nearby with a nearly severed head and blood all over it. I started freaking out and ran inside my cabin. At breakfast the next morning we learned it was just a prank that the counsilors played on us. I hated them from doing that but now i laugh at my stupidity for believing the prank in the first place. The counsilors named the figure friend. It was very interesting.
