<p>Apologies for the shameless self promotion, but I've already written about the creepiest thing that ever happened to me:

</p><p>Second prize would go to a series of dreams I had when I was thirteen. Three nights in a row, I had a nightmare in which I was standing perfectly still, surrounded by fog, watching a hooded figure walk towards me, waving its arms (more recently I realized my brain plucked this image straight out of the original Star Wars, the first time you see Obi-Wan coming over the hill, trying to scare off the Tusken Raiders). Every night, the figure got a little closer. On the third night, it got close enough for me to see its face. It's a little difficult to describe, but imagine an elongated doglike snout, almost like Goofy, but with sharp teeth. The thing said my name, and I woke up immediately. For a second I thought I could hear my name actually echoing in my bedroom.
