Halloween Season Challenge 2017 for 1 True Scary Story from My Life Every 3 Days

The yips and cries of the ghostly sounding coyotes echoed throughout a clearing in the woods.  The little wooden framed house that resided in that clearing was the home of a terrified 6-year-old blonde curly top girl. Each night as bedtime grew closer her stomach clenched tighter and tighter. 

It was safe with her parents; alas, little paige knew that when Momma left the room at bed time and the light went out the men with the pointy fingers may happen to slither into her room.  She did not where they came from because every-time Daddy came in to check he could not find anything so he would say "you must have had a nightmare. It's okay.  Do you see that there is nothing here?"

When her Momma put her to bed she would tell her to think of happy things like birthday parties.  Paige did that every night.  She remembered to keep happy thoughts, but it did not always work.  Although they did not come every night, they did come.  

One night that they came is seared into her brain because it was the night that they stayed the longest.  It was the middle of the night and she was in a sound sleep, but she woke up from a dream about Sesame Street's Big Bird to see someone standing there.  Terrified, she pulled the covers up over her head and closed here eyes waiting for them to go away.  After what seemed like forever to her, she slowly opened her eyes and peered through the holes in her blanket hoping that they would be gone.

Unfortunately, they were not gone.  Paige saw three figures standing by her bed.  There were two tall ones on the outside and a shorter one in the middle, and they stared at her so hard that she could feel it beaming through her covers.  The ones she saw were like the photo shown here, but they were brown and did not have robes.  The mortified little girl knew that Daddy had to get up early for work so he needed his sleep.  She also knew he never found anything although she did not understand why.  So she just closed her eyes and turned over and made herself go to sleep.
