Double nightmare as woman has late-night repeat encounter with unwanted creepy intruder
HORROR MOVIE
A Douglas woman has lived through what many would say is the stuff of nightmares after not one, but two recent encounters with a creepy crawly you don’t want using your body as a late night overtaking lane.
Just days ago while sleeping soundly in the early hours of the morning Jennifer Hamilton had the very worst of awakenings – the type of scene more common in horror movies.
“One week ago, I woke to feel something inside my T-shirt which I soon identified as a giant centipede,” Ms Hamilton told Newsport.
“I turned on the light, quickly took off my T-shirt, threw it onto the floor and ran out.
“I couldn’t catch it on that evening and have been nervous ever since even sleeping with the light on for a couple of nights.”
If that wasn’t enough for one lifetime, the unwanted visitor – measuring the size of a ballpoint pen - made an timely return.
“I’ve just had my second encounter with this giant centipede in my bed,” Ms Hamilton told Newsport.
“I just felt something again. It’s the middle of the night. I could see this on the sheet this time, I manageD to chase it and kill it. It moved incredibly fast.
“I normally wouldn’t kill this if it was outside, but I need to sleep peacefully in my bed without this centipede cuddling up to me on a regular basis.”
