An unfortunate juxtaposition created a witch in my bedroom

I went to sleep last night after watching Hansel and Gretel. Woke up about three in the morning, glanced around the room and my eyes fell upon a hunched old crone silhouetted in front of my moonlit bedroom window, her gnarled fingers pointing directly at me.
My sphincter contracted sharply at this hideous sight.
The sphincter constriction must have focused my eyes sharply because the wizened ole crone resolved itself into a vase, a few decorative flowers, a teddy bear and part of the curtain.
All the time it was just a collection of household bric-a-brac that mimicked the shape of a witch from a certain angle, in a certain light, viewed in a state of drowsiness. (Unless it was a real witch who could change her shape).
Have you even awoken in the night and spotted something in your room that wasn't what it seemed?

I thought I saw a deer in my bedroom once, no clue as to what it actual was though.
Where is that from?
From a webcam in my living room :eek: Actually it's from the film Mama.
I said thanks Nan and put my head down to drop back off but instantly shot right up sweating as my Nan had died from Cancer only a few days before.
there was no-one there !
I can still see her now as clear as day in that brief moment, she 'was' there - I saw her 100% positive.
Suddenly I got a shock. I turned my head and I saw this figure moving in the darkness. Coming closer to me. I was terrified, heart pounding. I could hear the footsteps...coming closer. Suddenly this vile figure came into the sharpness of my eyes and I could make the shape of a woman out. A ghost woman. Suddenly she spoke, a gholish echoey distant, posh voice sounded out:
"The LADY'S NOT FOR TURNING!!!!!!!"
"AHHHHHH" was my response! "Maggie's back!!" Damn, I have summoned her with the ancient method of saying a witch's name 3 times. Suddenly a thought came into my head of how to banish this vile ghost "I love money and rich bankers" I shouted.
At that instance, the ghost vanished and to my surprise an ice cold refreshing pint of milk had formed on my bedside table. This was an ordeal to say the least but I was able to get back to sleep soon enough after my ghost encounter.
When I was little my parents used to leave the bedroom door slightly open - so they could hear if I stirred I assume - there was also a dresssing gown hanging there - this and the open door used to scare me to death!
Makes me think i should have grown out of seeing things by now.
Ooh yes ! You can do that with a mirror, too.
Because there's no light so no colour you get a corpse face staring back at you.
I wasn't watching Jeremy Renner though. I was watching Gemma Arterton in leather. Gemma Arterton is one of my nine celebrity crushes.
Lol - She and Renner were the only redeeming features in the whole misogynistic, nasty mess.:D
Yes - my door is right next to the side of the bed and my dressing gown/pile of coats on the hook makes it look like there is someone creepy stood there next to the side of the bed in the middle of the night. For example, a guy in a long mac.
I don't like it, but I don't have anywhere else to hang my dressing gown so I just put up with it
Dressing gowns seem to be a common problem. I might have to invent a friendly looking dressing gown so it gives you warm fuzzy feelings when you spot it during the night rather than scary sinister shocks.
All i learned from that film is that Famke Janssen either has a brilliant doctor or she ages slower than the rest of us.
She's a witch, she has magical anti aging powers to keep her young and beautiful. Oh how beautiful she is.
Your dad must have been in my room once because i thought i saw Santa as well.
No chance i'd put up with it. This happened when I was a kid still wouldn't have a dressing gown there. I haven't got any wiser with age, i'd still think it was the black nun.:o
