Bedtime

by Michael Whitehouse

I think everyone that read this can say this is in their list of worst fears.", "This was utterly brilliant. Terrifying and compelling all the way through.", "You made me want to burn my bed and run". - Reddit Users

An account of the most horrifying experience I have ever had. I was a child at the time, but only now do I feel safe enough to even speak of what occurred, during the night, at bedtime. In the darkness something lurked. God help me if it was all real.

About the author

My first memory of storytelling was my father reading to me from 'The Hobbit' when I was a child, showing me the pictures and describing Bilbo's adventures in his own wonderful words. As I grew up he would continue to tell me stories, some were based on local myths and legends, others on classic literature such as Poe, and a few were entirely of his own creation.

More than anything I owe my love for telling stories to my father, and the sense of wonder about the world which he encouraged me to explore. My name is Michael and it means a great deal to me that you have taken some time to read one or two of the stories I have written, born out of that imagination forged all those years ago.

You'll never want to sleep in a bunk bed again

I found it pretty confusing and not all that scary. But that's just my humble opinion.

Not scary. Just okay. I do believe ghosts are real but not vindictive or mean or even scary. The writer does have a good imagination.

This had me hooked from start to finish. If you love stories that genuinely make your skin crawl, this is a must-read. Perfect for a spooky night in!

Nothing extraordinary, nothing fancy, no memery or fourth-wall breaking, but just a solid spooky story.
