- I have to say this.

- King was talking about things that he thinks about that would scare him.
- For instance, he said something about being in the bathroom, using the
- toilet and something comes *out* of the shower and grabs him. Not like
- Pyscho were the girl is in the shower and something comes *in*.
-
- Yesterday, I moved into my boyfriend's townhouse and was extremely busy
- putting things away, etc. At one point I'm in the bathroom putting
- stuff in the medicine cabinet over the toilet and the thought about what
- King had said ran through my head. Right at that moment a cold wet hand
- grabbed the back of my neck! I screamed at the top of my lungs and took
- off out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the kitchen where my
- boyfriend was just coming to see what had happened. Of course, halfway
- through my flight, my mind realized that it was his 15 year old son! He
- had watched the show with us and on Sunday when I had stepped out of the
- bathroom to grab another box, he slipped in and waited for the most
- opportune moment. He got it!
-
- He also did the same thing to me later on when I was working in the bedroom
- and he hid in the closet. I spent the rest of the day looking around
- corners after I left a room and came back!
-
- I don't think I would have reacted so strongly if King hadn't made that
- suggestion though! Sorry, hope I didn't take up too much of your time,
- but I had to tell this!
