Glowing eyes in the darkness
This is one fear that comes straight from a book I read as a kid. See, back in the day, a trip to the library was a weekly occurrence. I plowed through every single book on the Salem witchcraft trials, UFOs, ghosts, and other paranormal material (alongside my ‘research’ on scary animals and fiction reading). Any time I went to a new library, I looked for hose sections first.
When I moved back to my hometown at age 11, my grandparents took me to the library out on Ft. Sill. A new library! OH BOY! I found a book that had a chapter on phantom black dogs with glowing red eyes. There were illustrations.
From then on, when I’d walk into the kitchen at night, I’d glance out the window and freak myself out by thinking “what would you do if you saw red eyes looking back at you?”
Trufax, I do that to this very day when I look out windows at night. I am not sure I have an answer. What would I do?
