One evening in 2004 I made the mistake of watching one of those Iraqi beheading videos that were going the rounds on the internet. It disturbed me profoundly and I couldn't sleep well. My bed was in a small room on the bottom floor--in the back of a house. There was a door to the secluded backyard right next to my room. Well, it's after 1 am, when suddenly the door knob to the back door starts rattling. I heard voices, the door knob was tried a couple of times. Then it stopped. No more sleep for me that night! True story. Oh, I definitely know that kind of thing, Prime (or shall I call you “Gruffimus”? “Gruff” ain’t exactly nice  ). Some terrible experiences we can have in the dark… When I was really young, I was sleeping downstairs by the fireside one night in October when I woke up in the middle of the night—a little later than midnight, maybe. I went and put another log on the fire and then heard a loud bang outside. I pretty much froze right then and there and waited, and I heard someone stomping with heavy boots on my porch. Scared me half to death. I took a few moments, recollected myself, and finally got up enough courage to go and look—and there was no one there. It’s not anything supernatural, as anyone could have run away, but I still don’t know who it was. I ran upstairs and woke up my parents; my father went and checked outside, but there was no one around. So I don’t know what these things are you hear in the night, but everything just gets creepier. I wish I found out who it was stomping with boots at midnight—maybe neighborhood kids or something, playing pranks?
