Me and DP are watching Mr McMahon on Netflix and it reminded me that when I was a child me and my sister were really scared of Hulk Hogan. We didn't have a clue about wrestling he was just on a poster at our cousin's house.

The village flooded under lady bower reservoir.

I had nightmares thinking the villagers had been in bed when the valley was flooded....

Similar but with spontaneous human combustion..... I thought if I fell asleep I would catch fire.

(Parents had a book of mysterious events and that picture of a charred foot in a carpet slipper still gives me the willies).

We had that same book. I refused to wear slippers since then.
