night terrors

NIght terrors

I  remember having woken up one night to hearing 

the tap tap tap of a wooden leg outside of the airing

 cupboard on the other side of my bedroom door.

I suppose that it must have been a fixture of the machinery

  of the boiler in there, but that's looking back 

with the hindsight of adulthood.

In fact, i never saw "pegleg" but i was afraid one night

 i might run into him going to the bathroom.

I Recently discovered that Buddha, otherwise known

 as Constantine or Neo, had a similar experience:

Keanu Reeves, that is......

He says that ' I was living in New Jersey, when i saw 

and felt this ghost. I remember just staring at this suit

 which had no body or legs in it as it came into the

 room before disappearing. It was a doubke-breasted suit in white,

 and i looked at my nanny, who was just as shocked as me.

 I just couldn't get back to sleep afterwards,

 and i still see the figure in my dreams and nightmares."
