This incident occurred when we were first married, no kids, still getting used to sleeping together. We were in a new house where we managed apartments while going to school. It paid the rent and gave us $275 per month to live on. One night Shauna sat up and started pointing and the foot of the bed and shouted "Oh my gosh, there coming to get us! There they are, they're coming to get us! They're right there!" I couldn't see anything but I was envisioning the unseen world of ghosts or something coming through the time-warp opening in the wall to snatch me away. It was even more scary because I couldn't see anything so didn't know exactly when I would feel their claws grabbing me and dragging me down to hell (picture the movie Ghost).
I was so freaked out, I jumped up, ran across the bed, leaped to the wall where the light switch was and flipped it on. My eyes watering from fear and my heart racing. As the light went on, Shauna's eyes got the big doe-eyed Bambi look and then she laid back down and went to sleep. Easy for her! I am still freaked out and still wondering if something was going to attack. My heart was racing! She did this to me and now she's just going to roll over and go back to sleep? So unfair!
I slept with the light on the rest of the night. No ghosts showed.
