I used to dread changing the cat box at night when I was a kid. I grew up on farm, and we had this really big 2-story barn with 1 light way up high on the entrance end. Being up so high, it gave off these really crazy shadows. On the other end of the barn (the dark end) where the cat litter was kept, was a door leading out into another room (and further out into a second 2-story barn that was even creepier).
This door had two holes cut into it that looked like eyes. Used to scare the living shit out of me every time. I would always imagine a red pupil appearing in each hole, watching me. If they was ever a "fastest cat box changing" competition, I'd have a huge-ass trophy.
Another time, my cousin and I were camping out on the property ( we must have been 10 or so), way back in the field just before the woods started. Well, we wake up in the middle of the night to fucking coyotes howling in the distance. We're both frozen in our sleeping bags, as the howling gets closer and closer and closer. We finally bolt out of the tent and run up the field towards the house (passed the aforementioned 2nd creepier barn, with it's black windows and imaginary monsters peering out at us). The coyotes weren't chasing us, but they were still howling in the woods behind us, which made us run even faster. One of the scariest nights of my childhood.
