At my grandmother's house she kept the spare bedroom as her room with all her dolls in it. I had a fear of the dolls killing me in my sleep. I used to lay awake all night long watching them waiting for me to go to sleep. If I laid there long enough I swore I saw their heads turn and their evil eyes look toward the bed. I would force myself to stay awake till daylight. Once I saw it getting light out I would fall asleep because for some reason I believed the dolls could only 'come to life' at night. Then my grandmother would come in and wake me up not long after I fell asleep so we could get ready for church. I never did explain to her why I was so tired after spending the night...
