Tooms
Ooh just remembered this one too. I don't know how many of you watched the X Files in it's early days, but one episode featured a rather creepy chap named Eugene Victor Tooms. Tooms had the ability to stretch so he could fit through incredibly small spaces. He was a freaky little fecker and given that I was only 11 or 12 at the time made him doubly scary.

Imagine how my friend's younger sister must have felt, who was 3 years younger than us, when my friend convinced the poor girl that Tooms could fit through the heating vents in her bedroom and would come and get her in the night.

I'm not sure how long it took their mum to undo that one.

I read the novelisation of that episode
because we didn't have Sky and everyone was talking about it. The shame.

I still sometimes think about covering up vents if im staying in a hotel or somewhere im not comfortable.

I just don't want to risk it!
