As a child I couldn't sit on the edge of my bed. I lived in constant fear of a ghostly hand snapping out from underneath and grabbing my ankle. I used to stand up on the bed and leap to safety.
Also, I knew never to turn my back to a window at night as the monsters would break through and grab me from behind.
