I have just read a FB post about traumatic scenes in children’s films and remembered seeing something that haunted me for years. It would have probably been early 80’s and I woke up late one night and went downstairs. Dad was fast asleep in front of the TV and there was a fuzzy picture of a grey alien, similar to ET but with long tentacles. It was facing out of the TV and speaking directly to camera, but I couldn’t understand what was being said. The sound was very crackly and it didn’t seem to be in English. It terrified me and I was convinced it was a real alien broadcast I had seen! As an adult I know it was just a film/TV programme, but I can still feel the fear when I think about it, all these years later, and would love to know what it was I saw.
