When me and my sisters were younger and afraid of the dark, my mum told us that imaginary creatures called 'biddies' would line up at the end of our beds to look after us in the nite. They were triangular in shape with little faces. They got me thru the nite for years!!! I also used to draw them all the time and ask my mum if that is what they looked like, to which she would say yes. Thanx mum!!!
