When I was little I had a HUGE closest. But at night-time I would hear sounds from inside it and my step-dad said that the sounds were made by evil faries and that if I didn't have a light with me they would take me to be eaten.So everynight I would hide in my bed hoping that the hall light would stay on. (My stepdad turned it off at times to scare me-I hate him.)
