One subject that terrifies me is the subject of home invasions. I know many of us have said this repeatedly in this comm, but I do believe people are capable of the scariest and most horrible things, and terrify me much more than the paranormal (remember
this post ?).
One of the most recent home invasions that drew nation-wide attention occurred in my state. Known as the
Cheshire Home Invasion (wiki article), it occurred in 2007 and resulted in the death of 3 individuals (a mother and two daughters) while the father survived. The entire incident is devastatingly brutal, and suffice to say, watching The Strangers with my friends didn't help placating my paranoia much regarding them.
So creepies, have there been any home invasions that have occurred near you? What are your thoughts?
Ps. If you don't want to read the wiki article (tl;dr), Oprah recently interviewed the father and the short introduction of the crime/case can be found
