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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

41, you're the type of person that is working hard to give this site a bad name. Don't tell people you don't know to kill themselves; even jokingly. Personally I'm grateful for the posters on this site, whether or not their post is actually humorous or... I dunno really weird or something, because they feel secure enough to share the stuff that happens in their life. For the same reason the "Scarlet takes a tumble" youtube girl was so funny. Because it's an embarassing event, and nothing was forcing her to post the video, but she did anyway, and it became an internet sensation. OP, I dunno. Everyone has fears. It's a little bizarre... Oh well. This sort of deserves a neutral/I don't care button. It doesn't really deserve either one.

That isn't even an FML...it's just a realization.

Don't listen to all of these sad saps, OP. How incredibly rude of these folks to pick on you like that. It is very natural to be afraid of the dark or something lurking within it, especially if that is how you spent your whole life sleeping. It's just what comes natural and your body is regulated to it, despite your ulterior fears as well. If it is not a downright phobia, it is very fixable on your own. My advice would be to sleep with a white noise simulator or something else that comforts you in the dark (such as a fan or maybe some radio), so it may ease your mind :) I used to be afraid of the same thing and that's what helps me.
