Once, when I was 8 yrs old or so, my older sister, age 10 , told me that a person name Jakrin Anger would "come and strangle me to death while I was in my bed, anyday now".
Gullible child I was, every night I would make my mum and dad check everywhere for a person named Jakrin. they laughed, but realized that I was serious when I began to cry.
I finally, FINALLY, stopped my fear of Jakrin when I was 11, when my sister finally decided to end the stupid little trick. Needless to say, I was steaming.
