I was the child who was afraid of the dark. I mean terrified. I would crawl in bed with my parents. Now in the house I remember as a young child it doesn't make as much sense because that house was built for us. BUT the neighborhood was riddled with junkies and crazy people. We had the "nice" house in a very not nice neighborhood. My dad was town attorney and moved us from a nice neighborhood into the "town" because he felt he needed to be IN the town if he was to be town attorney (darn his ethics). I theorize in that house I was just picking up on the neighborhood.
Then there were the years my dad bowed down to idols (mostly statues of Buddha) and even held retreats. He later became a Christian and bowing down to idols is a big big no no. Well... I had REAL issues in that house. I mean bigtime. I slept with a light on into my teens, door open. I could NOT go down in that basement (scene of the retreats and said idol bowing). There was something down there and like now *LOL* I would get the chills and hair standing deal. I would see shadows go by and convince myself it was the cat (we had one and she musta been fast as she would be all over that basement when I had to be down there).
Fast forward to dad finding a charismatic church. They believe more in the reality of good and bad spirits etc. He decided to "cleanse" the house with prayer. He had QUITE and experience in that basement which he NEVER EVER told me about until much later. But after his brush with evil... which he successfully kicked out of the house, I miraculously started sleeping with my door closed and my light off. You have to realize I was an adult (probably 19) at this point and had often begged my mother to sleep with me or run in to their room and slept with them!!! All of the sudden I'm sleeping light off, door closed and going into the basement to do my own laundry. My sister used to accuse me of being lazy and not doing my own laundry when in reality I was TERRIFIED and would have gone nekkid to avoid that basement.
Soooo after sometime passed and dad noticed I was no longer afraid of the dark... he told me about his experience. Now when I think about it alot, say like now, I can get scared, but it's just cause I think about it. For years I went down there and said "Yup.. it's really gone!!!"
Incidently much later on my mom told me how she used to walk up those stairs and find herself thinking "HEY leave we don't want you here" but she was never "afraid". BUT.. .my mom's not afraid of anything except cancer!! Seriously she'd take on a vampire with a toothpick and a thimble's worth of holy water. But mention a lump and she's a marshmallow!
