When I was about 4, one pitch black night my had-nothing-better-to-do 17 year old sibling had sneaked outside and started scratching on the window exterior right behind where I was sitting
I sprang up, terrified, and jerked the curtains back to see a full size ragged old scarecrow suddenly jumping and pushing against the window trying to get in.
My sibling still apologizes for doing that to this day....and scarecrows still creep me out.
