When I was younger my brother and I were absolutely convinced that there was some guy called Snakehead living in our basement! He had a human body but his head was a snake and he had big muscley arms!! We knew this because we would sit around on the stairs waiting for him to appear and then run upstairs screaming! It wasnt until a few years later when we realized that this Snakehead guy was really a shadow of our dads golf bag with a golf club sticking out of it.
