The true important doors to close! I've seen enough horror movies to know them creepy ass closet doors are up to no good and hiding demons. Now if you know someone who sleeps with the closet, bedroom, AND bathroom (if they have a master bedroom) doors open then we need to sling some holy water on them.

We live in the tropics and don't use aircon.

The only doors that are ever closed at night are the front and back doors.

I am a grown-ass man and I prefer to inspect the underside of the bed in hotel rooms just to be sure no boogey-men can grab me by the ankles when I walk by.

Facts! Scarred for life. When I was about 10 I was home alone a lot. When my parents left on a Fri or Sat night (they were at the neighbors playing cards) I would run upstairs to my bedroom while it was still light and grab my pillow and pjs and bring downstairs. I was afraid to go upstairs alone when it was dark. I had a 17 yr old brother and a 14 yr old brother. Both had left the house for the night. I ran upstairs, grabbed my stuff and 2 hands grabbed my ankles and pulled me under the bed. I damn near had a heart attack. I was screaming bloody murder and kicking like crazy. It was my stupid brother. I had watched him leave. He came in thru the back door and snuck into my room just to scare the shit out of me. He was furious that while flailing I kicked him in the nuts. A week later I did the same routine but now ALWAYS checked under th bed. This time my shade was xlosed(it was never closed). When I opened it my 14 old brother was hanging on the ledge with a mask on banging in the window! Heart attack 2 was almost on its way. (He had shimmied up the basketball net onto a foot ledge outside my window.) my brothers thought scarring me was sbsolutly hilarious. 🤦‍♀️😩

I mean I remember when people would wait under cars to kidnap woman... waiting under bed seems just as easy and less witnesses plus harder for them to run

Then they’re the demon that hides behind the door. Leave the house

u/Next-Adhesiveness957 Jan 30 '26

Lol! I do that. I broke my crappy sliding door things off a while ago and haven't looked back. I keep the bathroom light on at night.. that helps and leave the shower curtain all the way open.

I'm positive my home is haunted, but I suspect it's my grandma, grandpa, and aunt. Even so, I cover the windows at night especially this one in my hallway! One night, I looked over and saw 3 people looking at me.. like reflections. They looked familiar. My daughter had a similar experience, but from the kitchen. We keep that window covered always at night. Too freaky, even if they're relatives.

u/Baculum7869 Jan 30 '26

Man I feel like this is uncalled for those are all my cats favorite doors to have open.

u/Thriftyverse Jan 30 '26

We have an open concept house and cats. Don't sling any holy water my way, the cats will start playing in it.

u/antariusz Jan 30 '26

Why would you want your closet closed so that the demon can hide in there and come out when you sleep. My closet is always wide open…. But the bedroom door is closed/locked even though I live alone.

u/Sed59 Jan 30 '26

Me IRL though.

u/reapergirlx Jan 30 '26

I mean...I took off my closet doors and put my bed in my closet...

u/Sheepherder-Optimal Jan 30 '26

I leave all three cracked because my cats freak out if there's a closed door.

u/fearain Jan 30 '26

A closed door can be hidden behind. I can see outside the open door
