Black man
I've just remembered another from when I was knee high to a grass hopper.

I used to get woken in the night by, well I don't actually know what it was, but anyway I used to wake up in the middle of the night.

Now, everytime I would wake up I would go to the landing outside my room (my parents room was on the same landing, next to mine) and lean over the banisters and say "Mr black man". Doing this would then lead to hearing running from downstairs, along the downstairs hall, then a "black man" - not racist, but black, as in a black shape of a man, a dark shadow running up the stairs towards me.

I would then run into my parents room and dive into their bed crying.

If I hadn't kept saying that, then it probably wouldn't have happened, but for some reason I couldn't help it.

I remember telling my mum about it, and she did the whole "black people are the same as white people". Yes, but not _this_ one. He's in our house, and only appears in the middle of the night after calling him and has no features, just darkness..right, perfecly normal.

Then it suddenly stopped.

Still creeps me out to this day.

I also used to be scared of 'black' men like you. But then I learned that they were the same as me.

ya
Perhaps I should make that more clear, a shadow in the shadows, a darkness I have never seen since

Why did you randomely start saying "mr black man"?
i mean was it an old myth of the house you were testing out or what?

I had a dream that followed the same format as this
but with a Pegasus instead of a black man

I really dont know
I actually have no idea why, I just remember saying it. I would have been about 4 or 5 at the time, it just started, and then finished as quickly as it started.

The house was haunted (according to my grandma who said she could see an old lady in the kitchen)
