Just before bed, I used to go and do the toilet, wash my hands/face, brush my teeth, then open the bathroom door as far as it would go, and turn the bathroom light out (the hall light was enough to see with door wide open).
I then sneaked over to the toilet,flushed it, and never looked back. I ran as fast as possible to my room, slammed the door behind me, dived under the covers and tensed my whole body, trying not to breath or make any sounds. All in case the monster that came out of the toilet found me.
I had a troubled childhood.
