Not unless it's like a shuffling sound. That sound freaks me out, especially if I hear it in a dark room and can't see what's making the noise because then I start imagining freaky things and go into panic mode.
No.....as kids we were never made to be afraid of the dark.....never ever told a bogey man was lurking anywhere ...things like that were not ever allowed even to be spoken in jest in front of any of us kids... They was no watching horror movies by my parents or any visitors to our home....
Strange noises in the night were always found and explained in the morning as to what was making them... None of us kids had night mares about such things....
No, because I have cats. When you have cats you learn to ignore ALL sounds in the night - large or small, soft or loud. The only sound that makes me cold with fear is the sound of a hairball (please, not in my shoe again... please not in my shoe again).
