When I was younger I some how got the idea in my head that there was a ghost living upstairs somewhere, I never really figured out where, but whenever I flushed the toilet I would imagine it running down the stairs coming to get me. May be it was because our toilet was extremely loud and I thought it upset the ghost. But anyhow I would run into the kitchen, only about 8 feet away, Several times I slid on the floor and crashed into chairs, but once I was in the kitchen I knew I was safe from that ghost.
