if you were a child in your current home , what would be the scariest thing about your home?

the pet

That I was apparently a time traveler, living in a house that hadn't been built yet when I was a child.

 

[Lord Manhammer]

My house was built in 1840 and was part of the Underground Railroad, it has all sorts of ghosts.

We have an open-rise staircase and those can really freak kids out. My grandma's house had one and I remember feeling like I had to go up it on my hand and knees until I was about 6. For some reason, coming down wasn't a problem.

The basement

The basement

Same. Dirt floor. Serial killer vibe. We have lived here 20 years and I think I've gone down there twice.

probably that you can be walking past a window only to notice a full grown moose peering in (we had one wander through the backyard just today).

The cellar. In particular, the old coal room in the cellar.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Maybe under the stairs.

 

[RangerPooh]

4 big dogs who have big teeth.

 

[dizneegirl]

George. Our upstairs "resident" that we've quite often heard, but never seen.

 

[Praying Colonel]

That you might find a lizard, snake or gator in your yard in the morning.

 

[NannyBeBe]

An occasional scorpion. I have learned to just step on them and move on.

Um I guess planes at first. My dgd when we first moved to our complex she was 3 almost 4.
We are in the flight path of our airport.
We are also in the flight path of fighter jets doing maneuvers from Langley.
You can always tell them apart from regular planes because they will shake the apartment building as well as loud.
My dgd freaked out at first and now she has gotten used to them and apartment will shake and she will say fighter jet lol
