Today, I was talking to my boss about her children. She told me she didn’t want them to develop any problems by letting them sleep with the light on. I didn’t tell her last night I slept with the light on because I’m scared of ghosts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my daughter was acting strange. When she wasn’t muttering in some strange language, she was talking about invisible people coming to get me. Terrified, I called my boyfriend. Turns out he taught her that as a prank. He knows I’m afraid of anything supernatural. FML
Today, my daughter’s sleepwalking has been so bad that none of us has slept more than a few hours a night in weeks. We took her to a pediatrician, who referred her to a sleep clinic for children that has no openings for 6 months. My boyfriend is convinced my house is haunted, scaring the other kids. FML
Today, my boss told me she had a nightmare where her life depended on me, and I let her die. Now I'm ridiculously paranoid that I'm going to get fired at any second. FML
Today, my mother thought it would be funny to sneak into my room at night and scream like a demon, after I'd explained to her how scared I was of The Exorcist movie I had just seen. She claims it wasn't her. FML
Today, after my girlfriend had a nightmare this morning, I stayed home because she has really bad anxiety issues. A couple of hours later, she's pissed because I said I would stay up, but I fell asleep. FML
Today, I couldn’t sleep because the hall light was too bright. Someone left their room; I waited for them to return so we wouldn’t cross paths. I got up and went for the light, only to find them peeing naked with the door open. In a panic I flipped any switch, which made the hall brighter, then ran. FML
Today, I was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML
Today, my little sister asked what the noises were last night. It happened to be my dad and his girlfriend fooling around. I ended up telling her it was ghosts. Now I'm grounded by my dad who yelled at me for scaring her. I was trying to save his ass from a lot of questions. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, in the early hours of the morning, I woke up in sleep paralysis, hallucinating the sight of children hanging from the ceiling. Now I'm scared to sleep. FML

Not an FML, but theres nothing wrong with having a fear of sleeping with the lights off.

i can understand being afraid of the dark for whatever reason, but do you really think a ghost would be put off haunting you because you leave the lights on?

That's so cute, and there's nothing wrong with that. You usually are hostage of what you grew up fearing, no matter what it is. So cut him some slack, seriously. I always freak out in the bathroom 'coz I feel like they're surrounded by devils, especially when I start singing... :'(

LOL, don't worry, at least when you're sleeping with somebody, you'll be one of those people who'll happily do it with the lights on.

Ghosts can't hurt you. Only demons.

I've done this too. Everyone's afraid of something, even if it doesn't make sense. In particular, I am still afraid of closets because when I was a kid, about 4-5 years old, there was a closet facing my bed and my mom decided to store a horribly scary-looking Santa Claus pinata in there. The door was left ajar and it was leering at me out of the darkness. I cried myself to sleep because it was scary.

**** your life because you're afraid of something. Yes, poor you.
