Like Haley Joel Osment, I began seeing dead people at a very young age. I would hide under the duvet as they marched around my room.

In my teens, I had two incidents that terrified me to the core. I woke each time at 2 am in the morning. I was awake, in my room. I tried to move. I was paralysed. I felt something on my feet.  I couldn’t see it. It scuttled up my body, sat on my face, and I woke up screaming.

These days, I wear a sleeping mask. My wife thinks it does what it says on the tin. I wear it because I don’t want to see things that aren’t there.
