Summary

Can you remember back to a time when you were afraid to go to sleep at night as a child because of a game you played with friends, like Bloody Mary or maybe with a Ouija board? Or how about sleeping with the light on because of a spooky story or an urban legend you heard at bedtime or while sitting around a campfire? As children our imaginations made it possible for these stories to seem believable, despite being told by our parents a million times there is no such thing as monsters or ghosts.
