Am i over-reacting or is there something out there?

Last night I needed to go to the shed to get something. Before I went outside I turned on the outside lights and suddenly felt scared, usually I am okay to go by myself but for some weird reason I was scared. So... when I went outside the temperature felt really really warm, there was no wind and it was really quiet. The outside light wasn't working, so I went back inside checked the light switch and it was on. So I decided to run to the shed while it was dark and all of a sudden the light came on. On my left side there is the backyard and I hate looking in that direction I had the goosebumps and felt like something was right there. I went in the shed turned on the lights, maybe 10mins later thats when the lights flickered. I turned them off, had the goosebumps again and ran out the shed. Luckily the outside lights were still on, I made it back to the house and on the deck my cat ran up to me and my goosebumps were gone.

    Of course there was something out there.

    Everyone knows this is the time of year when Boogeymen come out of hibernation and start to stock up their larder.

      And they are afraid of the light. They're safe as long as the light is on. But if it goes off...well...you're screwed.

    Oh man, this happens to me sometimes. It used to happen to me more back when my paranoia was more substantial, but I do still occasionally get it. I tend to listen to my gut when I get that “something’s wrong” feeling, and if I have to go, I like to grab something for self-defense just in case (even though it’s most likely nothing is out there).

        Humidity can affect light bulbs, especially if they were fluorescent, but even so excess condensation will cause a delay in the light turning on.
