[Girl_On_Fire]

I remembered a couple more:

This was a while ago. I was sleeping and I woke up in the middle of the night to this weird scrabbling sound under my bed. It sounded like a squirrel caught in a plastic shopping bag for lack of a better way to describe it. I laid there, wide awake and paralyzed with fear as I listened to the sounds of what seemed like several small animals running around on plastic bags under my bed. Somehow, I managed to fall back to sleep. I have no idea what the sound was or where it came from as I never found any creatures or evidence thereof the next morning.

This was just horrible. It's not "ghostly", it's just horrible. It was really hot one summer and I was sleeping in the nude. I lived in a basement apartment at the time and had some problems with leaking pipes. Well, that attracted bugs. Lots of them. (You see where I'm going with this don't you?)

I woke up at 2 am to the feel of something biting me. I turn the light on, throw back the sheets and two huge house centipedes were in bed with me. I scramble out of bed, shrieking my head off, and run out into the living room only to see another one of the hideous things crawling around on the white living room wall. I almost had a heart attack and died right there and I was only 19 years old.

*shudders* I have been terrified of centipedes ever since.
