Fright at night

I was a frightened kid. All these  children's stories and my own imagination scared the heck out of me.
The scariest for years , and now that i think about it, i'm scared.  Hansel and Gretel is the story that was so frightening  for me. There was one witch in that story that I pictured with a dark cape like thing over her head.  Her big nose and her cackle scared me so much. I used to see her in my parent's bedroom window.  I would hear that cackle and  i'd be so frightened and run out of the room.  I'm getting the chills as i write this.  In the other window were little pumpkins with witch hats laughing and rocking back and forth ,, Scary stuff,  for years and years. Then I'd always worry about  the door falling off its hinges as murderers tried to get into the house.  I'd sleep with my plastic sword and a  sledge hammer for protection. I probably weighed 50lbs  and yet I was gonna kill these monsters with my weapons.
        I still sleep with my weapons.  Ya never know
