When I was little I used to believe that if you didn't pull the blinds or curtains over the windows at night, a werewolf or robber would peek in and stare at you while you slept. When we moved, my new room had one window that was too high for me to reach and so oddly shaped that for the longest time my parents couldn't find blinds to fit it. I was so freaked out by it that I tacked up a sheet over the window and refused to let anyone take it down at all.
...and I still can't sleep with an open or uncovered window...
