I want to know what banged on my bedroom door at midnight during a power cut five years ago.
Oh man, you reminded me of the second scariest thing I've ever encountered.
I was probably 10 years old, in my room, setting up my large collection of toy soldiers and tanks on my dresser when all of a sudden, something started banging on my closet door from inside the closet, and yelling ferociously (it sounded like an infected from 28 Days Later). This was loud as heck, and since we had just moved into this house, there was nothing around to muffle the noise; it surely echoed throughout the house, because it was echoing like mad in my room. Anyway, I bolted out of my room so fast, I caught the door with my foot and broke off a large chunk of it, and when I leaped into the living room not more than fifteen feet from my room, my parents were just standing there, picking out wallpaper.
Also, I broke my arm when I was 13, and I stayed overnight in the hospital because I weighed so little, the doctors wanted to make sure the anesthesia didn't have any ill effects on me. I woke up at some point in the night, and saw the silhouette of what I thought was my dad sitting in the chair next to me. Boots and long hair, is what I recognized; but what confused me was the cowboy hat the guy was wearing, my dad doesn't even own one of those. The next morning, when I went home, I asked him if he went to the hospital overnight, and he said no. That's weird, but then again, I was on pain reducing drugs, so that might not even be real.
