Me, too, Marion. I had a cross hanging on my bedstead every night as I read it! It was summertime and I had all of my windows open to a gentle breeze one night. The kids were asleep, my husband working out of town and I heard something skitter across the roof of our mobile home. I was terrified, sure that Dracula had somehow come to life and found me! Finally working up the courage to get out of bed and take a look, with my dog by my side, I found my black cat waltzing around up there trying to find a way down! I almost throttled him!
