From Ghoulies and Ghoosties, long-leggety Beasties, and Things that go Bump in the Night, Good Lord, deliver us!
You’re sleeping. You wake up in the wee hours of the morning. It is still dark outside. You hear something.
You’re home alone. You hear something. You don’t know what it is. Your cat growls under her breath. Your dog whimpers and curls by your side.
You hear music…
The wind howls outside, the rain pours own, stairs creek, doors slam without notice, it sounds like something or someone might be on your back porch, in your hallway, or maybe even running a bath.
Or you might hear a thump and then a voice saying “awwwww shit.” Something just went bump. What was it?
Halloween is coming soon, along with even more things to go bump in the night.
Burning Question #62: What goes bump in your night?
Please feel free to leave comments, observations, recipes, poems, jokes, your experiences with things that go bump, and whatever you feel like (but no short stories or novels, it just takes up too much space and annoys everyone.)
Happy October everyone and enjoy that Pumpkin Spice.

For me, if something is going bump in the night, it’s probably something falling off the shelf at work. We do have a ghost out there as well on the night shift (Another Commodores song!)
One of my faves! I first heard it on the radio many years ago whilst working the night shift myself and only on subsequent hearings realised it was in reference to death. The song also got me into Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson.
I didn’t even think of stuff on shelves, not to mention Earth quakes (I’m in CA.) As for the Commodores…keep on bumping guys, keep on bumping.
Hmmm…. after watching “The Lighthouse” I’m not that much into mermaids anymore – not even in my nightmares. *sigh* But you forgot Freddy Krueger on your poll, how could you? LOL
Freddy Krueger is an imaginary guy from a movie. The others… they’re real.
*sigh* If you ever dreamt of Freddy, you’d believe he’s real too.
No. I’ve never seen any of his movies.
LOL Save yourself the time and nerves and rather watch a Disney movie.
Knottsferatu! I almost choked on my coffee! LOL
One of my all time favorites. You gotta love it.
