I have a lot of night terrors. They're trout. The worst one was in December, and it was literally the most terrifying thing that I've ever experienced. It reduced me to sobbing and refusing to sleep in my room the rest of the night.

So, I had woken up, and I was falling back to sleep. All of a sudden I felt like someone was in the room with me, and I heard carpet scuffs next to my bed, like someone was walking next to me. All of a sudden my body was paralyzed and I felt pins-and-needles all over. I then heard laughter, and an explosion of voices like there were 5 people in my room talking or something. I knew I had to force my eyes open for it to end, and when I did, there was a black figure of a human standing above me. When I blinked again, it was gone.

Yes, I believe in ghosts. And yes, I also understand the scientific aspect of night terrors, and I realize that what I experience is pretty common. But if you have them, you know that they're pretty scary and pretty awful, even if they are just dreams.
