Right our Back Garden faces a forest-y area so it's always really dark at night since there's no street lamps or anything on that side, there's also a gate at the very bottom of the garden. Ever since I saw it I've always had a little fear of someone sneaking into the garden at night since we'd never see them until it was too late. Factor in the almost horror film esque kitchen window and you have the creepiest backgarden ever.

Anyway late last night while I was making toast quite late and I heard a bit of banging about around the conservatory which I put down to the glass expanding a bit as we've had a bit of schizophrenic weather lately. Anyway I eat my toast and go back to the kitchen to put the plate in the sink when I look out of the window out of instinct and get the shock of my life. Someone was on the decking, I jumped a bit they turned to face me and a screamed a little (more of an ARGH! really) because he had what I assume to be the most freakiest mask on I've ever seen (I've got a phobia of masks). When he sees me he bolts into next door's garden. I run upstairs into a bedroom and watch him jump across the gardens and out of sight.

It scared me ****less. I've made a request for blinds in the kitchen in future

There was one thing that creeped me out though when I played it back in my head this morning when I was telling my parents, We've got quite a sensitive light in the garden which goes off when anything is on the decking, even moths at times are enough to trigger it off. While this happened though the light never came on.
