For about a week when i was perhaps 8, i believed there was a mummy (the ancient egyptian bandanged type) in my wardrobe. I avoided opening the wardrobe until i absolutely had to, then i got my sister (2 years younger then me) to open it for me! She probably wondered why i couldnt open it myself...
