Like many of you I also read The Haunting of Hill House at night. The bedroom scene that gave me a sleepless night I read in bed with only my 7 watt reading light on. We live in a very old house, 16th/17th century. And my bedroom is in the oldest part of the house, right under the attic so there are always a lot of strange noises. To make things worse, a cat from the neighbourhood had found a way in to the attic and was exploring and making a lot of noise. I really thought a burglar was up there and woke up my father in the middle of the night to check it out!
