A childhood belief about easter bunny

When I was younger, me, my cousin and my brother were fooled by our Grandparents every week when they put little chocolate eggs under the settees and said: "The Easter Bunny and the Easter Chicken have been!" A couple of years later they stopped doing it to us but instead our cousins were in on the joke.

The most surprising thing was, the year this stopped, something strange happened to me. I saw a six-foot-figure just outside my door on Easter morning. My parents were sleeping, and my brother wasn't six foot (he was four). For many years, since I was six when I saw this, I thought the Easter Bunny and Chicken had come back for me! But now I think it was a paranormal discovery. I'd never been so terrified in my life!
