I've got a story!!! It happened when I was about 10 or so. We'd had pizza for dinner that night, and there was leftovers in the fridge. Me, one of my brothers and a few of my younger sisters all decided we wanted a midnight snack, so we went downstairs to the fridge. It was the middle of the night and our eyes hadn't adjusted to the dark yet (we were trying not to wake anyone up, so no lights!). We were almost at the bottom of the stairs, when a pair of GREEN GLOWING EYES APPEARED ONLY A FEW INCHES AWAY!!!!! All four of us ran back up the stairs screaming while laughter echoed in the dark hallway below...
...the laughter of my uncle who was spending the night at our house. I still don't know how he did that eye thing.
