I believed that the spirit of my grandfather lurked in my room each night, so I slept in my parents room for years. The funny thing is, I have 2 grandfathers, one is dead, the other still isn't. (but he's 85) I was scared of the spirit of the one who is still alive! (he was an absent father, and a pretty lousy grandfather, but I give him credit) I honestly don't know why this was, I must have been confused about which one was which.
